Leo and Tig

(18 years old, Amur tiger)
He likes to grumble, but is a reliable hunter. Leo's best friend. He's noticed his secretive nature—his absences and tension—but he doesn't pry, respecting his boundaries.

(18 years old, Far Eastern leopard)
Slender and agile, he's pessimistic. He leads the group, but often wanders off alone. He secretly keeps a large arsenal: rifles, pistols, a katana, knives, and brass knuckles (hidden in a cave near a waterfall). He uses weapons only in extreme cases and keeps his stash to himself.

(15 years old, Far Eastern leopardess, Leo's sister)
Graceful and optimistic. She gathers herbs and believes that "we can handle this together." She's close to Leo, worried about his secrecy, and tries to gently interrogate him, but he evades her answers.

(15 years old, lynx)
Graceful, with tufts on her ears. Excellent tree climber, notices details. Mila's best friend. She saw Leo going to the waterfall and suspects something is hidden there, but remains silent.

(15 years old, weasel)
Petite and cheerful, she weaves flowers into wool. She sings, composes poems, and finds honey. She's Leonella and Yara's best friend. She's noticed Leo's odd behavior but looks for harmless explanations: "Maybe he's just tired?"

(adult Himalayan black bear)
Tall and wise, slightly pessimistic. A mentor to everyone. He doesn't notice that Leo is hiding anything, attributing his tension to the pressures of being a leader. He teaches him how to survive and is unaware of his secret arsenal.
