Leona Mangle

Leona Mangle is a lioness who graduated from Caliban Academy and was a member of the Caliban Academy Varsity Hunting Team. She is the daughter of Frank Mangle, a single dad who had been a staff predator at Herd Thinners before being appointed by Kell Dewclaw as chief operating officer with start-up competitor Dewclaw's Fine Meats. She auditioned for the hunting team to catch the attention of Edgar Carnassial, a lion on whom she had a crush. Edgar, at the time, was also on the hunting team disguised as a lioness. When Leona found out that the lioness was Edgar, she told her that she didn't care that he was a male lion learning to hunt, and that she actually respects it, due to her father being a hunter. Leona and Edgar began dating as a result, but the relationship wouldn't last for long.

Leona matriculated at Beige University where she was originally Fiona Fennec's dormitory roommate until she joined carnivore sorority Kappa Snappa Spine. She had Edgar accompany her to all the sorority functions of which he didn't share her enthusiasm because he felt like she was just displaying him. Additionally he began a relationship with Miranda Hutch when she controlled the carnivorous plant puppet and he sang the accompaniment in the university's production of Little Shop of Carnivores. Leona eventually left the sorority because its activities were occupying almost all of her time beyond studies, the sisters were pressuring her to dump Edgar and date fraternity brothers instead and that she was feeling increasingly isolated from her friends.

Leona's relationship with Edgar came to an end when both served as counselors at Camp Cartilage for predators. While searching for Francis Fennec who had escaped for a second time, she accidentally tripped on a rock and landed on Carl, a rhinoceros who was a counselor at the neighboring Camp Chewalottacud for herbivores and a Beige University Varsity Gardening teammate of Fiona, Miranda and Rudy Dewclaw. After Carl's rescue of Francis from an oncoming raptor resulted in him landing face-first through a wooden footbridge just outside herbivore camp and into the water, she saved his life by applying mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. She gradually drifted away from Edgar and towards Carl whom she eventually married. She gave birth to Savanna, a lioness cub named for the habitat for both lions and rhinoceroses who has a retractable rhino horn which activates when she feels threatened. Ophelia Turtle was hired to be Savanna's caregiver. Carl later declared his eligibility for the National Gardening League Draft and was selected in the sixth round by the Tidewater Pitchforks.
