The Blooddrinkers Clan
The Pard
In book seven, Burnt Offerings, our heroine acquires a group of leopards. They looked to her as Leoparde Lionne. The stakes were raised several times and Anita was called into action to save the leopards, again and again. By the end of the story, the leopards raised her to Nimir-Ra, which is queen of the pard.
Anita Blake is Nimir-Ra of the Blooddrinkers Clan. It was a long road for Anita to reach this status. First, she had to kill a nasty alpha male, Gabriel, who's biggest fantasy was to rape her until she cried out his name, then kill her. He didn't care what order it went, as long as he had fun doing it. Zane tried to run the pard when Anita didn't step into the driver's seat. He ran everything like Gabriel did with no success. Until, Nathaniel was hurt real bad did she find out what she did. Killed a leader and didn't make sure there was a replacment.
Anita's new pard is filled with many different leopards that have strengths they are not aware of. Take Cherry for example. She is a register nurse and had her license taken away because the hospital found out she had Lycanthropy. Then we meet Vivian,
who was abused severely by the vampire council when they appeared in town to punish Anita's main vamp Jean-Claude. She was raped, beaten but her pride never was taken. At the end of the story she starts dating Stephen, Gregory's twin brother. The last of our little group is Elizabeth; she was dating Gabriel before Anita killed him. Elizabeth finds every opportunity to defy Anita. Her biggest show of defiment is in book ten, Narcisuss In Chains. She invited a Nimir-Raj named Micah, to take over the pard. To bad it back fired and Anita finally punished her to show who was the Dominate Cat. Along with Micah came his pard which consits of Caleb, Merl, Noah and Gina. Anita and Micah decided to join together their pards. Oh and Micah is Anita's new main squeeze. It seems that Richard couldn't handle Anita's new powers to control the pard.
