Abilities:
Motley is an amazing performer and actor. He is a very passionate clown which can make everybody around him laugh, even the creatures that are in the gloomiest of moods. Generally, no matter what mood, if he makes someone laugh, it will improve the being's mood and bring them a warm, cuddly feeling. He constantly brightens the eyes and hearts of his audience. This effect can last from hours to days, depending on the individual's nature and prior emotional state. The happier the viewers were, the longer this effect will last
He's not just a clown; he's also a magician. With the help of his hat, he can conjure up various objects, provided they are not extremely far away and fit inside the hat. He can even summon smaller creatures using the hat, but it only works if both Motley and the other being truly desire it. Thanks to this amazing ability, he's capable of making lost or misplaced objects reappear or aiding lost creatures, for example. These magical activities do consume some of his magical energy with each spell, so he cannot perform them all the time and needs breaks to recuperate
He's also a talented mime and voice actor. He excels at mimicking certain activities and he can create the funniest and weirdest sounds and voices
Motley can conjure his top hat forth and away at any time. A process, which a process that requires almost no magical energy. He usually wears his hat when he performs, goes out or simply feel like looking fancy
He can produce and emit light form his whole body. That way he can lighten up the night in many different colours
He has the ability of speech and he speaks and understands many different human languages of our world. Of course he is able to interact with his fellow species and other animals and creatures. He can even translate to a certain extent
He is able to see in the dark and, unlike other lions, he can see almost all existing colours
Weaknesses:
For Motley it's one of his main goals to cheer up every single creature around him. He also knows that he succeeds in bringing these feelings to life every time thanks to his magical abilities, and these emotions are genuine and truly helpful. However, it deeply saddens him each time a being, despite his assistance, feels sad and gloomy again. Moreover, if this effect wears off, he cannot immediately "reactivate" it for the affected being. He must wait for hours, even days, before this magic can work again. This factor strongly depends on the intensity of the negative mood or feeling: the more negative it is, the longer it takes for the effect to resume
Motley is a highly talented being, yet he possesses a characteristic that can be both a blessing and a curse: his clumsiness. While this trait benefits him in his role as a clown, in other daily activities, such as dining out or participating in an event, it can quickly become his downfall. This can bother him quite a lot at some times
His magical top hat is of great importance to him. If anything were to happen to it, it would feel like his world was falling apart

Further Information:
He was born in the Land of Eternal Dusk a mystical land which is full of magic and fairy-like creatures. As the name implies, the land is in a state of eternal dusk. It is a very beautiful and peaceful place
In every land you can find the following rule: Every strongly marked anthropomorphic creature is actually a human being from either a different dimension and/or time, that's why these creatures are more human-like than other beings
He is anthropomorphic and thus very human-like, but can still do typical “lion-like” things like roaring, purring while exhaling etc.
He and every here presented Land of Eternal Dusk resident are good friends. He Rummel are best friends and get along very well. Both work closely together with Wattara and Carouselle the other members of their group. Together, they organize and host the best funfairs and run a successful amusement park in the Land of Eternal Dusk
He has an entirely vegetarian diet, even though he is a lion. His favourite foods are vegetables, fruits, nuts, and sweet treats
