Wasia was a female snow leopard. She was the mate of Choyo, the mother of Chuluun, and the maternal grandmother of Chuki, Kulia and Kisasi.
Appearance[]
Wasia was a gorgeous leopard. Her pelt was grey with grey spots. She had four spots on her head and green eyes. She bears a slight resemblance to Makucha.
Personality[]
Wasia was a kind and caring mother to her daughter. She wanted to raise Chuluun to be one with the Circle of Life, which failed after her demise. Wasia was also very caring toward her husband, Choyo. He assisted with the birth of Chuluun, despite having no knowledge of dealing with such matters. Because of how she reacted to the labor of Chuluun, it is shown that she is also very sensitive to pain.
Cause of Demise[]
It is a long story. One day, up in the mountain cave Chuluun and her family lived in, the leopards were having a fresh kill of red panda for lunch. After she finished eating, little Chuluun noticed a butterfly in the back of the cave and went to chase it. That's when everything took a turn for the worst. As her mom and dad were still finishing up their meal, a predator leapt into the cave!
Choyo attempted to fight it off while Wasia took her baby to the back of the cave. "Stay here, my daughter. You will be safe here," she told Chuluun. She then went to join her husband in the battle, but was soon murdered along with Choyo. Noticing the predator gone, Chuluun came out of hiding to explore the aftermath. That's when she noticed the bodies of her killed mother and father.
No matter how hard she tried, the little cub could not bring back her parents. Chuluun then sobbed under the fallen paw of her mother. This loss drove Chuluun to be the stone-hearted leopardess she is now.
Trivia[]
