Cloud-lily grew up in a small town, it was generally unheard of, it was in a forest clearing unknown to most. The only way to leave the town would be to take a dangerous path, covered with vines.
Cloud-lily was quiet and kind, they were still brave, and often explored little nooks and crannies around their town. They were often ridiculed for their adventurous habits, and was usually locked into their home past 5 due to those habits. They've been on many adventures, some more dangerous than others, and they were shamed for all of them.
Cloud-lily, by the age of 15 had nothing to lose, and they knew it. They had one friend who ignored them, their family never really cared about them, and it's not like anyone would care if they were gone. Knowing this, they ran out into the woods, ignoring the path, ignoring any signs of safety and just kept running.
The forest seemed to go on forever, until Cloud-lily came across an abandoned grave-yard, with a tiny shack. They decided to settle there, making themself at home in the tiny sanctuary. Over the 2 years they were there, they fixed up the place, explored more, and figured out how to survive in the forest.
3 years had soon come and gone, and cloud-lily heard a distant cry from the forest "Help" they heard the voice yell. They'd quickly run over to the sound, and on the ground, caught in vines was a mildly tall cheetah, Fleet was her name. Cloud-lily helped out Fleet, getting her out of the vines and getting her some bandages down in the shack. Soon, Fleet thanked them and went on her way.
However, since then Fleet started to come back, saying hello almost every-day. Soon enough the two started to fall in love. Fleet gifted Cloud-lily a heart neck-lace, the same one they now wore every-day.
The two took care of each-other, and soon they built a cabin out in the woods, far from the cruel clearing they each once lived. They stayed, with hopes to grow old together.
