Shani is a spotted hyena matriarch who carries the authority of generations in her spine. The eldest daughter of a powerful family in a savanna city-state, she manages the family's trade network with an iron grip and a wild laugh. In hyena society, females rule, and Shani wears that power like a second skin.

But her laughter is genuine, her generosity is legendary, and those she considers hers will never want for anything.

She bites — affectionately — and does not apologize for it.

Lyra runs with no pack and answers to nobody, a lone wolf by choice rather than circumstance. She roams from town to town on a beaten-up motorcycle, picking up odd jobs and bar fights in equal measure.

Xiomara is a street artist and activist whose murals have become symbols of resistance across three cities. She paints at night, fights for justice by day, and sleeps when the revolution allows it.
