azar Sassy and loud, since her parents aren't exactly together, she is a pretty big attention seeker. Doesn't do anything dangerous, just volunteers for any and everything so she can be involved. She'll be a hunter. - cavi
Name: Injabulo'encane (little joy, zulu) Personality: He got his name from being a bright and cheery little cub, he brought happiness to his parents just before they succumbed to the disease. He's a carrier, and while he's not immune, he counts himself luckier than those who are really ailing and tries to cheer them up if he can tell they need it (there are times, however, he knows it's not appropriate, the disease isn't a laughing matter, after all). Prompt Response: Injabulo'encane (Inja, for short) tries to entertain the pride by telling jokes, and if that doesn't work, he does gag comedy. Crying cub? Maybe if he acted like he tripped and bumped his head, the little cub would laugh and dry those eyes! Unfortunately sometimes he can get carried away with this and wind up with a little bit more serious of a bump or bruise... or bloody gash on his head whoops. Not good when you don't have optimal health. He just wants to see his pride members smile.
http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc305/Kyoniki/Shadows of Africa/Certs/surritaivascubcert_zpsdjjl5yzw.png Surri'taivas (big sky, Finnish) Brief Personality: Bitter and reckless, she wants to buck the traditionalist values her mother is raising them with. She knows she's capable of being more than some rude reaver's saltwife someday. Surri doesn't wan to ever be in the same position as her mother, raising b*****d cubs. She's very secretive about training and doesn't want her mother to find out until she's completed her first viking. Therefore, she lies a lot. She's not always good at it, though.
http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc305/Kyoniki/Shadows of Africa/Certs/BeylaA_zpsy72yc1zc.png Beyla Cow, Old Norse Future Rank: Freeborn - Reaver Personality: Growing up, where Hakon is tall, she's... round. Beyla struggles with her weight and appearance among her handsome and beautiful and tall siblings. She works extra hard to prove herself and is her toughest critic. She trains as often as she can, even as a cub, sparring with other freeborn children. She has god blood, for goodness sake, she needs to be worthy of it, and worthy of being a reaver in a pride that is so tough on females. She seeks wisdom and comfort from her mother, but mostly her grandmother. Sebor won't spare her feelings but Beyla knows its only out of love and not unkind.
When she grows into an adult, that's when puberty changes and her wideness becomes tallness. Her height rivals that of any god-born lion around. She's taller than most male Stormborn. She never had it easy interacting with boys when she was a plump little cub, but now it's awkward for another reason. Male Stormborn don't often like to be shown up, even if it's an issue they can't control, like how tall they grew.
So she's never really considered marriage or settling down. She's still too busy training.
Personality: Svar is a real romantic. Watching Timeus and Seema just made them want to have... well... not that. Svar adores their parents, but doesn't want to end up like them. In the time between training, Svar writes poems and picks flowers. But it's their secret, no siblings know, Svar doesn't even let non-family know about their softer, gentler side. It's not incredibly Viking-like, after all. Svar spends their whole life trying to live up to Timeus' expectations, but while the body is busy, the mind dreams up fantasies about someday falling in love.

Name: Stór'fugl Meaning/origin: Big bird, Icelandic Personality: Being the only boy of triplets, he tends to ignore his sisters and seeks out his only other brother, or his father. He feels he has to be über masculine to stand out among his triplet sisters, though, so all the fighting and reaving he can do, the better. Honestly he'd probably be friends with the lil jerks who almost scared Kaisa off that cliff. :T Future plots: I could see him going 'to the dark side' and being manipulated by Ragnvard/that half of that family. Anything else: Will stay in the pride till at least adolescence!
NOT SEER ROLLED FOR furaha'kivuli swahili : happy shadow rogue
They come complete with background info, because apparently I can't stop myself from making oddball families.
Quote:
Giza'hawara (Meepfur) is a middle-aged wild dog who's been a rogue with a case of itchy feet for most of her life. She's a very practical, down-to-earth 'country girl' type and is in general friendly and helpful, but is not without attitude! While she may be sweet as pie and have a good sense of humor most of the time, that evaporates pretty quickly when she's dealing with unfriendly or ill-mannered folks. She has no tolerance for bullies, or anyone who tries to put themselves above others. She'll be patient with her pups, but firm when necessary, and will try to instill in them the value of both hard work and good times, and teach them to respect everyone, regardless of their differences, and will encourage them to embrace others.
Through Giza, the pups have much older half-siblings that she had when she was very young, as a bit of a misguided attempt to gain some purpose or direction in her life. It worked for awhile, but once they grew up and went their separate ways, she found herself adrift again. Eventually, her wanderings led her to The One. Who was...less canine than Giza had always envisioned she would be.
Kilindi (Meepfur) is also their mother! She has a very similar past to Giza, being a chronic wanderer who never found a place or reason compelling enough to settle down for any length of time. Sugar-sweet and completely guileless, she's the much airier of the pair, always a dreamer and looking forward to the next big adventure. Kili is basically blind to things like species and gender, and just loves everyone for who they are regardless. She'll be the one most likely to let the kids get away with things and run amok. ;D
She once had a fleeting relationship with a leopard that led to cubs, whom she adored and doted on until they went their own way. So the pups will have some older 'siblings' on that side as well.
Giza and Kili met when Giza came upon a young lioness bullying Kili and trying to steal her dinner. They ran the lioness off together, and then ran away together! (Well, okay, they didn't actually do any running away, but they are now a mated pair.)
Rakesh (DavyJnah) is the father. He was a scout in Peke Na when he became old enough to be able to do such things. Once he left he was still about the needs of the many over the needs of the few. It was ingrained in him. He cares very very deeply for family and duty. Whatever that duty may be. He's pretty strong willed.
Rakesh likes and respects Giza and her mate, and after getting to know them agreed to help them fulfill their dream of having a family together. He'll be staying around to help out until the kids are older.
