- Grew up on the outskirts of the Pride, alienated and neglected.
- Frequent abuse at the hands of his alcoholic medic mother.
- Ongoing violence and corruption within the pride. Witnessed many deaths.
- Out of desperation, approached a derilict house on the hill that was home to a recluse ex-animator.
- Would watch cartoons from the back window.
- Was often fed and cared for by the old animator.
- Developed a fondness for these cartoons that still lives in him.
- Given the name Moonmade because he only came at night.
- Was captured by humans. Canned hunters.
- Watched his family (presumably) die at the hands of these humans.
- Was eventually rescued and released as a young cub.
- Came to the Ascendants after some time.
long-term effects;
- Struggles with self love. Views himself as not good enough.
- Deeply rooted anxiety and paranoia from the abuse. Fragile under stress.
- Will flinch at a violent sudden movement / sudden aggression. More so from those he's fond of.
- Desperate to hold onto those he loves as he has been starved of affection most of his life. Hesitant and careful in his affection, almost fearful of serious emotions.
- Recurring nightmares of his childhood. Often kept up for days on end, will gradually get more bitter and short-nerved as these bouts continue. Distances himself from others when particularly emotional.
