October 11, 2024 Something is happening in the Scorched Wilds. There is a battle raging between a familiar force and an unfamiliar one. What will you do? Help or hinder?

October 1, 2024 Spooky things are happening as the afterlife start walking among the living once again.

September 30, 2024 Louve Dieudonné manages to keep Wolfbron Bluffs in the family. What will happen between the Bluffs and the otherwise peaceful pride of Lorien Plains?

September 20, 2024 Ilarion Rurik challenges for Wolfbron, will the Dieudonné lead pride fall?

September 8, 2024War broke out once again in the Lagoon when a wedding had some uninvited guest arrive. The war results in the most death matches the island has seen at once. The Summit was challenged by Brighid with Talisa answering the call. After many years of the Summit have the same two leaders, the Summit changes hands. What will this mean for the balance of Amaryllis? A witch hunt has started by Luther and Miaran which seems to be turning things on an island that is full of magic.

August 25, 2024 War broke out in the challenge for the Lagoon after Cassius tries to take the Lagoon from Isla. The Cove remains with Miaran. The leadership of the Mire switches from Sigrún hold to Rike when Luther comes back to take his birthland back. Elephants push into the Rainforest and push out the lions there. Soon after Lucifer lays claim to his birthland and takes over the Rainforest.

June 27, 2024 Conflict and tensions rise as prides come head-to-head with one another across Amaryllis - just as Pyrrha and Cassius take the leap to try and claim (or reclaim) their own thrones.

May 24, 2024 Rulers continue to shift, family strife ensues, and, per usual, tensions seems taunt and always lingering on the horizon.

April 24, 2024 Things are rocky within Amaryllis as the Dieudonne clash result in three deaths and forces a shift in the rulership of Firnen Rainforest. With Caladan Cove freshly overturned as well, what will the consequenecss of these events be?

March 30, 2024 The lull has ended as a long standing family, the Dieudonné, launch death matches against their own. The Plains sees a challenge from a new comer, Aphrodite, and the quite pride is pushed into the spotlight.

March 19, 2024 A momentary lull has overtaken the lands of Amaryllis as its inhabitants attempt to find their footing and rebuild after a string of challenges. How long it will last, however, nobody can be quite sure.

February 11, 2024 The Mire has fallen from the Stärke family and is now held by Luther Rike. The change has stirred but the fighting nature of those on the island. The Brook finds a new leader with Icefang and Isla takes over the Lagoon after a storm pushes out the old leader. Reti finds himself the leader of the Hollows after Alexander is hurt. The Oasis finds a new leader in Léonie who is soon tested by Harou.

January 8, 2024 The snow has finally begun to melt anew, which means that the world is slowly returning to the much-anticipated summer season. With the various holiday activities and the other jests put on by Nafasi also coming to a close, it is safe to say that winter is finally over.

December 5th, 2023 Nafasi had pulled a cruel trick and has sent Amaryllis back into a renewed winter season! But it's not all bad, because the lands will also see a handful of holiday-themed events popping up as a result. To make things more interesting, a wayward trio of travlers have also arrived and are facilitating a mass competition between the prides, bands, and rogues -- formally dubbed the Amaryllis Winter Games.

December 2nd, 2023 The spring air brings forth a number of pride challenges. A familiar challenger for the Cove and the Oasis arrive to try to earn what they want. The new leader of the Lagoon is tested in battle as well. What changes will come from the challenges? Who will remain standing and who will find their world turned upside down?

November 27th, 2023 In a challenge between mother and daughter, the leadership of Wolfbron Bluff changes for the first time in 5 IC years.

November 22nd, 2023 Two death matches, one resurrection, and an almost-war later, the lands find themselves in a constant state of turmoil and calamity. Families have been torn apart and endless blood has been spilt; but how is it all going to end?

November 3rd, 2023 The lands stir violently as a death match rages on between Aeistrios Saxe and Morrigan Greyflood. Observers spill into the pit in droves to witness what will no doubt be a historic battle -- and it is clear that this familial fued is far from over, no matter who wins and who dies.

October 12th, 2023 With winter comes the surge of more pride challenges; Ludivine challenges Ryker for Firnen Rainforest and is victorious in her endeavors, meanwhile an outcropping of maims breaks out on the sidelines. In a shocking turn of events Luther returns to challenge Bruno for Ecrosia Mire, will the former heir prove victorious or has Bruno got what it takes to keep his brother's ambitions at bay? This has undoubtedly shaken things up as Bruno declares war against Andal Oasis and Allies in the process!

From the Dieudonné Matriarch and the Wolfbron General's second coupling come another four little heathens to add to their little cannibal army! These four little, and far from helpless, babies will be Wolfbron Bluffs Royalty. They will certainly not be the last litter, if you ask Apollinaire and Louve, but they will be looked after by their direct and extended family like they are.

THREE of FOUR available

@Louve ♔ Dieudonné x @Apollinaire Dieudonné
Due Sept 11

Names — French.
Surname — While they are born with the Dieudonné surname, they haven't truly earned it until their first hunt at six months old. Louve will enforce that as the Matriarch, and so would Apollinaire who is a traditionalist. You can read more about the Dieudonné traditions here.
Dieudonne Physical Traits
— Green/Blue/Red Eyes.
— Dark coats with darker undersides.
— Partial and full socks are seen often in this family.
— Dieudonné are known to have longer canines in some instances, not everyone is born with this. It is a mutation developed by a cannibalistic diet.
— Due to cannibalism, some members of the family develop a type of insanity that causes them to lose a proper grip on reality, coupled with an increase in aggression and hunger. This is ESPECIALLY prevalent in Lorelei's line, which Apollinaire is a descendant of.

Genetic Physical Traits
— Louve: dark socks, dark face mask, leg mottling, face mottling
dark tail, dark undersides
— Apollinaire: socks, dorsal stripe, side stripe, face mask, tail shading
— Amara: global spots
— Kieran: socks, dark tail, face gradients/shading, lighter belly spots, leg mottling, belly mottling, face mottling

name ideas: Ravine/ Gulch (ravine is the direct translation of gulch in french. I lean towards Gulch but I know the name pref is french) If Ravine is her given name, Gulch may be an alias.
cub: 3 -- I'd prefer to stay with this one.
potential trades: sleuth/ assassin



personality:

the shadow


she does not speak much, not mute but selectively quiet. preferring to speak only to her family unless interactions force her to utilize her speech. a sleuth by nature, she is always hiding- always peering, always listening- a set of ears for her family and pride without fail.

she does not waver in her loyalty. she does not shrink from her bloodline. she is a solid as one's shadow at dusk. reliable, loyal.

the beserker

and then there is the blood. the frenzy, the desire to rip and tear into flesh and gorge, gorge, gorge. she is off when the first taste hits her, she is lost to the sensations of flesh and sinew. she is lost to the sweetness of the forbidden fruits.

the dagger

her secondary trade, the art of murder -- will be a weapon she wishes to utilize to help her family. where ever her matriarch pushes her, the dagger will plunge. without question, without fail. she will create aliases, and spin illusions, willing to lie, steal, and kill for all she holds dear.

Note: If someone else is chosen for this cub (you guys know I'm not fussed) but if it's okay, I will hopefully reuse this idea/design for a future litter of these two! <3 I think I"ve shown Shan the bobbed tail design, and hopefully- futuristically, would like her to lose her tail in a maim for that line-art bc it's cute asf!

Vedette Dieudonné
Pinterest + Playlist
Assassin & Medic

Cub 4
Sex: Female
Build: Large
Coat: Dark Brown
Eyes: Red
Genetic Mutation: none
Markings: 5 genetic | 1 genetic global | 0 bonus

She is a child of woe, of darkness - she eats, sleeps and breathes it. Where others fear, Vedette rejoices. Death is a friend who whispers promises of illicit delight.
Take me where the dark things are.

She will begin a soft little thing. Quiet, reserved, yet with an impossible wisdom behind those youthful eyes. Amongst her siblings she will stand out, often ridiculed for being weak, too meek and submissive. Vedette will be afraid to speak her mind, to shatter the image her siblings have painted of her. If she is not with her Mère, seeking solace in her warmth - la petit will often find her Père, finding comfort in his darkness.

Vedette will dream of death at a young age, wondering what it might be like to simply drift into an endless, eternal void. The idea is comforting, soothing - ever promising. Yet, it is not in a way that she wishes to die, no - the girl's obsession with all things morbid will birth from an admiration. As her siblings seek to forge a path of destruction and blood, Vedette will be - for a time - content to observe from a distance and learn. Each weakness, each strength.

There is a keen, manipulative and calculating mind behind those vibrant red eyes - and like a spider in waiting, Vedette will learn to strike when others are caught in her web.

Upon her first hunt will reveal her true nature. Any and all who witness will see the insanity lurking within her veins brought forth by the mere, single drop of that sanguine elixir they craved. It is instinct, natural. She will strive for perfect and find it with ease. Yet the madness will take hold, control will be lost and there will be nothing anyone can do to stop it.

One drop, one taste and she will frenzy.

As she ages, the meek, simpering child will mature into a confident, morbidly stunning creature. She will find beauty in violence, in darkness and in death. She will hold no love for anyone save for the darkness that envelopes her heart like a thick, entangling blanket. Affection, intimacy, such things will seem below her - and while she will never outwardly admit or seem to care for those that share her blood, it will be evident in her actions.

Loyalty.

It is the utmost importance. The Matriarch will have a black widow at her disposal, forged from her own loins. A sinful creature of melancholy that will lure in others to their demise, done so with no remorse - no feeling. Simply a satisfaction of success. Ambition will burn in her veins, a secret wish to take after her Mother, though she knows the position of Matriarch will never be hers. Power can be obtained in many, many ways.

The Plan Ultimately I want Vedette to grow and with the things she experiences in life, but remain similar to what is written here. I see her only wanting to speak in French as a babe, finding more comfort in it than the common tongue. More than likely Vedette will develop into a demisexual woman; unaffectionate and having little to no interest in romance or reproduction. If she finds someone who is able to win her over, that, however will change and she'll dedicate her all to them.

The Companion I'd like for Vedette to have a small bat companion that rides either on her head often, or clings to her neck like a little necklace. Her name will be Amie, French for friend.

I would like my app to remain for Cub #4 if possible!

tiphaine dieudonne





cub # 3 // cleric & assassin


to some, a walking nightmare.

tiphaine carries her father's penchant for madness, wears it like a pearl necklace; something to be flaunted and displayed proudly. there is little room for the laws of others in her world, outside of those she was born among. she follows the lead of her elders by obligation, keen and observant. but the girl always thirsts for more. her own empire to bathe in blood, her own enemies to crush under paw.

while tied up in a pretty, fur-lined box, tiphaine is quite ugly on the inside. she thrives upon the fear and anguish of others, likes watching them despair in defeat. there is little mercy to be found in her. she wants to devour everyone in her path, to gorge herself on them. but just that would be no fun.

oh no, the lady's game isn't simply destruction and chaos - although that too is fun. she thrills in a game well played. cat and mouse, wolf and sheep. tiph will allow her toys to think they have her wrapped around their paw - she plays the part of an innocent girl well enough - but just as they grow comfortable is when the serpent's jaw locks on them.

lies, fabrications, stretches of the truth, these are her specialty. cheating and lying are her way of life, an impulse she feeds rather easily and without care. if it works in her favor, why bother? and should she get caught in her widow's web, she'll burn it to the ground herself - and everyone left in it.

a cleric in a loose sense, tiphaine aims to utilize her skill with the dead to curse those who would displease her. she aims to utilize the gods and any spirits for her ill will. and of course, the side effect of this would be the ability to resurrect her family members, should they fall.

this trade would include a lot of sacrifices, ceremonies, and other dark/occult themes.

Corbeau Dieudonné
Alt names: Etienne, Noir, Minuit



I would be okay with switching to a different cub if my app is chosen, but I would prefer to have my cub remain female.

I also am planning on making this cub as a primary character alongside Cassandra, with most of my others being secondary or tertiary aside from this girl and Cassandra.



"Corbeau" means 'Raven' in French
"Etinne" means 'crown' in French
"Noir" means 'black' in French
"Minuit" means 'midnight' in French



A daughter of a chaotic family, Corbeau will lean more towards the chaotic neutral side in her youth - though she will have her tendacies courtesy of her father - and will have that standard hunger that hides within, eager to show others what it means to stand against the Dieudonne family. As she grows older, she will begin to learn more on the Neutral Evil/Chaotic Evil side of things. Poised and proper in public, Corbeau's darker sides only comes out when with her family - or in private with another. She is a beast that cannot be tamed, and knows that her brothers will always be beneath her. She adores all of her family - but idolizes Louve and Amara. After all, Louve is the Matriarch of the family - she's obviously the most powerful.

But she is not blind to where the family originated. She will thrive on her grandmother's teachings, and will always respect the star-flecked lioness. Innocent to a point as a small child, Corbeau will quickly learn that Dieudonne are powerful and what it means to be a member of that family. Innocence will last maybe a few months as she learns the world, but she will quickly become more and more vicious and wild. Often found with blood and dirt smeared on her pelt, Corbeau is a vicious beast starting from a young age.

Her father's blood runs hot through her veins, and as much as she is like her mother - her father also plays a part. As she grows older and engages in more and more scraps and fights, she will start to have some of that instanity that runs rampant on her father's side - though it tends to come out only in high-adrenaline situations. Her fights become more and more vicious as she grows older, and she will likely gain many scars and wounds due to her battle-hungry tendancy.

Despite the croon of insanity that dances at the mere edges of her mind, Corbeau holds onto her mind and likely will grow to be as cunning and honey-tongued as Louve. But poke the bear, and she is able to quickly flip that switch and turn from proper princess into untamed beast. Poke the bear, and reap the consequences.

In the art of romance, Corbeau will be like he rmother, flitting from lover to lover. She will leave a string of hearts behind her, and will not be content to settle down until she finds one who can handle her as she is - and will not shy away from that one being male or female. Obviously, males are simply beneath her, but she would entertain the idea of a male partner if he suited her. She would not be opposed to having a female as her mate, but she will choose a single mate in the end. For as promiscuious as she is when she comes of age, she will only give herself fully to a single lover in the end.



A large girl, who ends up with a slender but well-musculed form as she matures. Eyes the color of blood which she craves oh so much peer out from a nearly dark face - excluding one single splotch on her face. The patches on her frame are reminiscent of her mother, and the splotches on her stomache are a subtle callback to her grandfather Kieran. Her spine is dark, and it fades down her tail much like her father's - she bears his dark socks and face mask as well.

Though not quite long enough to be considering longer fangs, Corbeau's fangs are slightly longer than that of other lions' - a callback to the Dieudonne blood that courses through her veins. She will walk around with her claws out often. They will be kept pristinely sharp, and she will make a note to keep them clean and free of everything. While her appearance in public is of the uptmost importance, with her siblings and family she will willingly get as messy as possible. Often her chartreux coat will be covered in dirt and sometimes even blood, depending on what she's been up to.


She will no doubt gain many scars, getting into scraps as early as possible with anyone who dares to poke the bear, but for at least a little while her pelt will remain sleek, plush and unmarked. She is her mother's shadow, with the perfect touch of her father sprinkled in.



Possible Trades: Master Cleric, Sub-Master Assassin
TLDR: A confident, scrappy & sadistic girl who will do absolutely anything for family, and will forever uphold the family traditions and name. Also potential Cannibal Blood Priestess

Gauvain / Mathieu / Narcisse

Cub 1 / Trades TBD / Male

How far you are from your father's son. Born as strong and healthy as his siblings, with just a voracious an appetite. He appears the mirror image of his grandfather, perhaps a stray patch or two differentiating him from the ghost, the hint of crimson in his eyes as if bloodtouched. His birth is a prophecy, a belief that Kieran's soul had reincarnated into a grandchild that would further their legacy; but he is not beholden to it, and what is expected of all Dieudonné is expected of him as well.

As he grows, that initial, instinctual ferocity begins to fade. In the wake of his (potentially) more cunning, ambitious siblings, he falls remarkably flat. He is skilled, tactful, thoughtful—but there is no passion in his hunt, no drive in his power. He is hesitant, tender, overthinking each step until the moment of glory has long passed. He pales in the wake of his sisters and brothers, but with not quite the cold precision of those who'd always lingered in the background. The older he gets, the more his fire starts to sputter.

But he loves his family; and he would do anything for them.

Even if it means doing what goes against his entire being.


the black sheep.

and i was helpless, tormented, and intoxicated,
by the sweetness of your cruelty

alt name options: ophélie, orphéa

loyal / confident / intuitive / passionate

Born with the fire of the Dieudonne, bloodlust ignites like kindle beneath her skin. It is only a flicker of what it disguises. The poised, practiced air of sophistication is only a mask for the deadly nature that her parents have coddled. Honed and sharpened, she is a weapon ready to strike at any moment. And it could be any moment: she is hotblooded, and vain, prone to biting first and asking questions later. It is a luxury that comes with being better, she is rarely wrong (not that she would ever admit if she was) and takes her position as matriarch’s daughter very seriously. It is also because of that position that she views her sisters as rivals. She is jealous of them, the ones who have come first, and would replace any of them given the chance (if it were even possible). However, if someone were to step between her and her sisters, there would be hell to pay. She is a possessive creature, and although she knows her family is quite able to defend themselves should they need it, she would not hesitate to destroy any threat to them or their name. She is Dieudonne, after all.

Just wanted to note, Amara's spots are on her head, neck, shoulders, back, and down her back legs. They are not all over. You can scale these down if you want but not up without the use of a bonus markings.
