Ternelle · Mourning Gown

Standing still, she lets a long train of black ink flow from her gown down to the ground, where it curls into white swirls. Her wide open eyes let two streaks of tears run down her face, while the ink keeps falling on her skull and mixing into her mane. Her lioness ears rise atop her head, and her arms hang at her sides, as if drained of all strength.

Specimen of the Ternelle species: lionesses with a faded mane, who still carry themselves like queens, but rule over nothing anymore.
