Today marks two years, to the day, since Quickmane took over.

And it's my brother Fire's last day in the Pride.

Before the sun sets, he'll be exiled form our home, as all males are, to become a No-Mane.

I vowed to earn my Pride Name before he's gone.

Are you sure you wanna do this?

There's no shame in backing down. It doesn't have to be today.

I want it to be today, Fire!

Who knows when I'll see you next.

I want you to be here when I receive my name.

I can do it.

I know you can. I'm proud no matter what.

Spark and Dad would be too.

You're certain you won't take the name your mother selected for you?

I don't wanna be named Hobblestep, Sharptongue. I wanna be named for my skills.

Just like every other Huntress.

If I was still Hunt Chief it would be different, but your mother...

[ROAR]

Your Hunt Chief and your Pride await you, Lioness.

It's disrespectful to keep us all waiting.

The past two years haven't been easy. My grandmother fell sick last dry season and my mother replaced

her as the Hunt Chief.

When Quickmane was accepted as Mane my mother quickly bore a litter of his cubs.

Those are my half-sisters, Farleap and Silentstalk. They both had their Huntress Assessments when

they were just under a year old.

Try not to hurt yourself, Hobblestep.

I'm more than two, and still Nameless.

That's Quickmane's second litter.

The whole Pride seems to have moved on from my father without a second thought...

I don't understand it..

Ready?

I'm ready.

This is your last chance to turn back.

I'm doing this.

Lioness.

You stand before your Pride, your Mane and your Hunt Chief.

You arrived here Nameless and no-one. You will emerge a Huntress with a name which declares

the ways in which you are strong.

Do you swear to carry the name we grant you throughout your life, wherever it takes you?

I do swear, Hunt Chief.

All lions present. I humbly ask you to witness this young lioness' transformation into a

Pride Huntress.

First. We shall see if Sunce has blessed you.

A Sunce-touched Huntress leaps with the power and grace of the sun across the sky.

Show us your power, Huntress.

Wahoo!! Go Sister!!

What next?

A huntress blessed by Sunce runs with swiftness of light at her paws.

Show us your speed, Huntress.

Perhaps we should name her Slugrun!

For a lioness protected by the Goddesses, they have not blessed her with many skills.

That's because Slugrun's always been cursed!

I'll show you Slugrun!

[voices in Nothing's head]

Get up.

I'm sorry Mother. I--

Do not call me Mother. You aren't a cub. I'm your Hunt Chief.

Yes, Hunt Chief.

You insisted on taking your Huntress Assessment.

I offered you a name and you refused it!

Why?

I thought I could do it.

Are you happy now?

Now that you've wasted my time and embarrassed yourself in front of the Pride?

No, Hunt Chief.

I shouldn't have insisted. I'll take the name you selected.

You were right.

Hm. It's too late for that now...

You wanted to be assessed for your strengths? And so you have been.

As the Hunt Chief of this Pride, I put forward that this lioness shall hence fourth be known

as...

Nothing!

All in agreement lend me your voices.

[Roaring]

We are agreed then.

Sister! Are you okay?

I didn't mean to...

We had an agreement, Fire!

You were permitted to stay for the naming ceremony but now you go.

I'm leaving, okay?

I just wanted to make sure she was alright.

She's none of your concern anymore. You're not part of this Pride any longer.

You're a grown No-Mane now.

I'll come back for you soon, Sister.

Cansu light your path, Fire.

Cansu light your path Fire.

Cansu light your path Fire!

Cansu light your path...Fire.

Pride dismissed!

Granddaughter.

I have a name now.

It's Nothing. Didn't you hear?

You were very brave today.

I need to be alone.

Nothing, huh? I guess that fits.

Huh?

Signs of a crocodile.

One must have moved into our watering hole. I should warn the Pride!

Hey! You! Over there! Watch out!

Look out!!

What is it with you Pride Lions!?

There's enough water in there for both of us you little brat!

A crocodile! There was a crocodile coming for you! I don't wanna fight I'm just trying

to help!

[crocodile noises]

Okay. Thanks.

No problem.

Sorry I scared you.

It's adorable you think a little thing like you could scare me.

So.

What's wrong with your leg?

That's a pretty personal question...

Oh soft spot huh?

Ohhh, I bet the Pride Lions gave you a really hilarious name about it!

Hold on, let me guess.

Broken-Leg? Bad-Hunter? Oh, uh,Can't-Fight!

It's Nothing, actually...

What's Nothing?

My name. They named me Nothing.

Ahahaha!

That is so mean!! Amazing.

Stop laughing, it's not funny!

Sure it's funny! Prides are funny. With all your laws and rules and stupid names!

You're Prideless I take it?

Born and raised!

My mother says:

"Prideless lions are unkempt, undisciplined, and lacking in the skills to join a proper

Pride."

Your mother sounds like she has an entire tree stuck up her butt.

Don't say that!

Ohhh yeah, I can see it on your face. She definitely does.

I'm Hover by the way! Self named, self satisfied, proudly unkempt, undisciplined and unskilled!

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Charmed, I'm sure!

[both laugh]

Gotta say, Nothing. You're already one of my favourite Pride Lions.

You've only known me for a minute.

I know! And you already are!

To be fair, you've got lousy competition. Pride lions are usually all toothy and bite-y

and "hey get out of our territory" Grrr!

But you? I like you. You're good.

You seem... good too. Thanks.

Oh speaking of which...

That's my mother! You should go.

Hmph. Don't worry, it's nothing I haven't handled before.

Greetings ladies!

So glad you could make it to our soirée!

And you sir, can't leave out the guy with the freaky meat face! Welcome!

What are you doing fraternizing with an outsider?

It is the duty of a Huntress to keep our Pride clean of this sort of filth.

Wow, that tree is *right up there*

How DARE you speak to me with such disrespect!

I am a Hunt Chief, and you are a creature lower than the dirt we walk upon.

I am so jealous Nothing gets to hang out with you guys all the time!

You seem so fun.

Enough of this! Leave! Now!

Don't have to ask me twice, depth-perception-Mane.

Maybe I'll see you around, eh?

Ugh. That is possibly the most repugnant lioness I've ever dealt with.

Yeah... she's great.

What?

Hate! I... hate her.

Ugh.
