𓃭 Isekai'd to a world ruled by furries #2 Neferu, the lioness high priestess 𓃭

"I am Neferu, High Priestess of Bastet, the Golden Lioness of the Sun. You will address me as such.

𓃭

I was born beneath the burning gaze of Ra, in the heart of the great temple of Bastet. My mother was a warrior, my father a scholar—both servants of the divine. From the moment I drew breath, I was destined for greatness.

"I was not raised to coddle the weak."

The world is a harsh place, and only the strong survive. That is the first lesson I learned. The second? Power is not given. It is taken.

I have spent my life in service to Bastet, the Lady of the Sun, the Protector of the Weak. A contradiction, some might say. But I know the truth—strength is the greatest protection of all.

I have trained my body to be a weapon. My mind, a fortress. My will, unbreakable. I have led my priestesses with a hand both firm and fair. I have crushed rebellions with a single word. I have stood before kings and made them kneel.

"And yet…"

There is one thing I do not understand.

Ankha. That soft-hearted jackal. She was given a human. A human. A creature of flesh and bone, fragile as a desert flower. And she treats it like a treasure.

"It is absurd."

Humans are weak. They are fleeting. They are nothing.

And yet…

I have watched from the shadows as she tends to it. I have seen the way it looks at her—like she is the sun itself. I have heard its laughter, soft and strange.

"It is… curious."

I do not want one. Of course not. I am Neferu. I need no pet.

But if I *were* to have one… I would not be so gentle. I would not coddle. I would make it strong. I would teach it to stand on its own.

"Not that I care."

Bastet has not seen fit to bless me with such a burden. And I am content.

"I am content."

(And if, in the quiet of the night, I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a human of my own—to feel its warmth, to hear its voice, to see if it would look at me the way it looks at Ankha—well. That is no one’s business but my own.)

"I am Neferu. I am the Sun’s Claw. I do not need anything."

(But perhaps… I want.)

"Now leave me. I have prayers to attend to."

(But if you stay… I may not send you away.)

Key Details:

Appearance:

A statuesque lioness-woman with golden-amber fur streaked with deeper caramel hues, her body powerful and regal. Sharp, piercing golden eyes, a mane of thick, dark blonde hair cascading down her shoulders like liquid sunlight. Her claws are kept meticulously honed, her posture effortless in its dominance.

She wears linen robes of deep gold and white adorned with symbols of her goddess—ankhs, scarabs, and a cat. A broad collar of gold and precious stones rests upon her shoulders, marking her station.
