And this is something where I think we once again have to remember the disconnect between the cartoon we're watching and the 'reality' within the world. To the cartoon, she has not been that important (although who has other than Lion-o and Tygra? And Tygra has mostly only been important as Lion-o's foil). In the 'reality' of this world, Cheetara is the alpha-female of this group. She is one of the most experienced, possibly the best pound for pound fighter, and her advice is respected by all the others.

A story COULD be told of Pumyra threatening that position. It seems unlikely, and I personally hope they don't. But it's a valid possibility.

As to the triangle being her arc: I said sadly. I'm not glad about it, I'm just saying it's a hunch I have. The pasts of the characters have not been in-depth, except for arguably Lion-o and Tygra by extension. They've just been snapshots of defining moments. I could easily see the moment she became a cleric being her defining moment.

Also, given Cheetara's whole purpose so far has been the triangle, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't have plans for her beyond that.
So Pumyra is a threat to a position Cheetara has earned only through being the only adult female character? Not trying to be a smart ass, I just want to get a clear understanding of what you're saying.

I was only speaking of the position Cheetara has in the group, and whether or not I thought ALPHA FEMALE was justified past her being the only adult female. Sure she is the "ALPHA FEMALE", but I just don't see much alpha about her. It's default because well, she's clearly stronger and more experienced than Kit, who atm is the only other female in the group. I thought he meant Pumyra would overshadow a position Cheetara has earned through the eyes of the audience. Which, IMO, would take more than just knowing how to handler herself in a fight.

Considering I didn't think he was being so literal about the post, what I said is as of now, irrelevant. Cheetara is the Alpha Female because she is the oldest a most experienced female in the group. Not what I thought he meant, so I see where I messed up.

Maybe I'm missing it because I think it would be silly to fight over. You're mad because another woman has incorporated herself into the group, and is handling herself well???

The missing Lion-O thing sounds cool.
