Personality:Aaliyah has always been very sensitive to the needs of her Pride, her empathy very strong for almost all creatures. As the shaman for them she created the bridge between the gods and the felines she cared for, both physically as a healer, and spiritually as a priestess. It has given her a gentle and calming nature that can set the most panicked and pained cats at ease, allowing her to tend to their wounds. Her clear seeing and inner strength has also allowed her to walk the 'dream paths' for her people, the steady presence of her mate, giving her the peace of mind to present the prayers of her Pride to the gods directly, and at times, return to them with the answers they had sought, favorable or not. The demand on her body to travel the 'paths' is great and it has left her more frail then other lions, she tires easily, but Kenan cares for her, and her devotion and love for him is only rivaled by her devotion to the spiritual and physical health of her Pride. Soft spoken, and kind, Aaliyah bares the wisdom of her station and age with graceful, and gentle, elegance.

Note: With the destruction of their Pride, Aaliyah will serve mostly as a Healer and Teacher to any Pride she and Kenan join. The fragile lioness is completely devoted to her Guardian and mate Kenan.

History:Aaliyah was the Shaman for her pride, a well respected and talented healer, and the Pride’s link to the spirits. Her mate was a solid, dependable warrior named Kenan. Given to her as Guardian on her ascension to ‘Shaman’ by the Pride’s Elders. The two were expected to become a mated pair, but were allowed to indulge in a slow and tentative courtship, so that both of them could carefully adjust to their new roles as well as each other. The pride itself was a collaborative effort between lions and leopards, a harmonious and peaceful Pride, who’s warriors defended her boundaries while the healers looked after the sick and elderly.

However, peace was not to remain, and eventually that peace was shattered, and shattered brutally. Though the cats didn’t know what it was that hunted them, men with guns discovered the pride and sought to kill or capture them with bullets and darts. Some lions and leopards were killed for sport, some for trophies, and some were tranquilized and crated up to be transported back to England and other rich countries where collectors would pay handsomely for these exotic ‘pets’. For Aaliyah and Kenan, the timing of the attack couldn’t have been worse. With Aaliyah deep into one of her trances, there was nothing Kenan could do except guard over her. The pair were soon darted and loaded up aboard a truck which set off for one of the many rough smugglers airstrips.

The Pride’s gods however had not abandoned the Shaman and her Guardian. On the way the convoy was ambushed by a less successful party of trappers and several of the trucks drove off the dirt road and into the wide ditch at the side. The truck over turned and the four boxes on board were flung from the wreck. One was crushed and its occupant killed, the second, containing Kenan was badly mangled, but he mostly unhurt, save for a plank that had sliced open his right eye. Aaliyah's crate was third, and the impact was enough to weaken the gate, the fourth was undamaged though the leopard inside knocked unconscious. Without a thought for himself or the pain in his skull, Kenan ripped the rest of his box apart and escaped, clawing and chewing at his mate’s as she clawed at it from within with her paws.

Their escape was narrow, for as the gate gave and she squeezed free of it, the men from the truck that had caused the accident came down the slope. The two lions were forced to abandon the last remaining leopard, and Aaliyah and Kenan fled, escaping into the rough shrub land of the wild plains. Both badly shaken and injured, Aaliyah weak from the physical stress and darts lingering effects and Kenan blinded in his eye from the plank which had sliced him open on impact

Exhausted and all of a sudden alone in the world, the pair wandered for days in the Rogue Lands, struggling to gather their shattered lives. The harsh conditions, and emotional toll of the loss of the pride she had been spiritually connected to weakening Aaliyah further, and had it not been for the fierce protection and determination of her beloved, the priestess would have died. Kenan desperately hunted for them both, knowing that both his and his mate's strength was waning, when fate smiled on them one more time. The Guardian came across the first scent of lion, along the Ela'wadiyi border. Weary but joyous, he went back to his beloved Aaliyah, and told his news, and together, they set off to find the Ela'wadiyi pride, hoping that there, they would finally find shelter and safety, offering their training and skill to this new pride.

razz ersonality:Sel is a dreamer as a cub and he is fascinated by the rich culture of his Pride and the history of his parents. He is the first one to listen to any story told, and full questions that can drive his parents nuts. He learns them by heart and as he grows older will seek out the nvwati to learn more about the myths behind the stories of the Pride. Sel is warm, and welcoming, loyal and always full of life. A rather happy content male, with just enough of his dad's charm to be a lady killer. He and his twin will get into all kinds of trouble, but when it comes to his mute brother and his little sister, well Sel will protect first ask questions later. Eventually he will grow to be a scout for the Pride.
