Oooh, that one is pretty. I think the reason that Lioden has a thriving economy for lions over FR, is that on Lioden the things actually -die- after a while rather than just sit there and do nothing, thus creating a more profitable market for their offspring.
I'm not sure about markings myself, though I did find

From what I've gathered, stats are the main things people look for, as well as beauty, and you get better stats by doing different things. Breeding passes down the stats to your next generation, I think, though I haven't had a lioness go into heat yet.
Stat gains (from what I've seen so far):
1.) Main lion - Exploring, sharpening claws, attacking others for skill, territory, etc.
2.) Lionesses - Hunting, (rarely) from toys and food
3.) Sub males - Patrolling, (rarely) from toys and food
