Fire (my pride)

Fire is one of the main characters in the animated web series *My Pride*. Born a legitimate heir in his father's pride, the brutality of the laws of the savanna forces him to live in exile as a "No-Mane" (a lion without a pride). Throughout the series, his desperate quest for power and survival transforms him into the primary antagonist of episodes 9 and 10. **Personality and Behavior:** Fire's personality undergoes a drastic shift due to the suffering and hunger of exile. **As a Cub/Young Lion:** He is portrayed as laid-back, kind, and highly protective. He is one of the few who stands up for his sister when she is given the derogatory name "Nothing," shielding her from the insults of other lions. **As an Adult:** He becomes selfish, violent, greedy, and manipulative. Consumed by the need to lead and survive, Fire comes to believe that brute force and the "Law of the Pride" justify any atrocity. He becomes extremely cruel toward his sister, humiliating her and calling her a "weak curse." **Siblings:** **Nothing:** His littermate. They shared a strong bond of camaraderie in their youth, but Fire's greed completely destroys that relationship. **Spark:** His legitimate brother, who is tragically murdered in the very first episode by the invader Quickmane. **Farleap and Silentstalk:** His paternal half-sisters. **Allies:** **Tangle:** An exiled lion who became Fire's best friend in their youth and helped him escape danger. However, in an act of pure cowardice, Fire murders Tangle simply because he suspects him of hiding food. **Moonstrike:** The leader of the pride that Fire attempts to take over. She does not accept him at first but strikes a deal, demanding a display of cruelty to allow him to become the new Feather: Fire's cousin. To prove his worth to Moonstrike and take over the pride, Fire brutally attacks Feather with the clear intent of finishing him off.
