Name: Hodari
Meaning: Brave
Father: Odein (Deceased)
Mother: Roshia (Deceased)
Siblings: Kopuk (Presumed Deceased, but no verification)
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: N/A
Pride: N/A
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: Hodari is, by far, low in intellect. He has a casual way of presenting himself, and an air about him, that often presents the idea that he knows, and understands, what he is speaking about. However, one can question his knowledge easily. He's not an idiot, of course, but he's not exactly tip-top in mental shape.
Even as an adult one can find Hodari is incredibly playful. He totters off on his own frequently to act out daring scenes of rescuing damsels (we ought to know who. XD) or of just battling with worthy foes. Over the time of his life he's gone through various stages: Shy and timid, to soft spoken and seemingly wise, to the awkward adult filled with hidden angst and pain due to long lost memories. His temper has also progressed drastically, appearing from time to time when one manages to crawl under his skin. It's not often he turns violent due to the temper, but it is likely for him to yell or threaten if such a thing occurs to anger him. He's more verbal than anything.
History:
Hodari's history deep roots into the history of his father, Odein, who was a traveling rouge. Odein was a con artist who often swindled prides and other creatures out of food, accessories, etc. He was just a crook in nature. One day, Odein came across a deity, however, and let's just say he made the wrong move. In the end, a curse was set upon his shoulders that he would forever grow bitter and hateful, until the day came when he stole something dear from himself. That dear thing was not revealed for a decent amount of time, for Odein wandered and wandered until he met and fell in love with a member of a group of rouges named Roshia. They spent uncountable moments with one another, eventually having two cubs, two boys. One was named Kopuk, the other Hodari.
The curse upon Odein's shoulders sluggishly began to reveal itself at the start of the birth of his and Roshia's cubs. He became increasingly angry towards everyone, often physically lashing out. When hunting he was even more brutal, etc. All and all, he became more and more of a monster, until finally everything was carried out.
Odein destroyed his family, killing Roshia and her mother, and possibly even Kopuk (however, there is no documentation of that. No one saw it, no one found Kopuk after the accident. :0 He's just gone and no one knows if he's ever coming back). During the massacre, Hodari was off with his uncle on a sort of "pick-me-up" meeting due to a recent spat with his sibling over who was loved more by who. On their return home Hodari and his uncle came across Roshia and Hodari's grandmother, as well as Odein. Odein chased them all the way into a nearby lush jungle area (Mistweaver Territory), and eventually cornered them near the top of a waterfall. Hodari fell over the side of the waterfall as his uncle and father fought each other. Odein perished, and what happened to Hodari's uncle is unknown, as, like Kopuk, he disappeared. Hodari managed to survive the fall, but not without a good clunk to the head and a near drowning. His memories disappeared, leaving him a blank slate of nothingness.
During his stay in the jungle he encountered a young leopard cub, who he befriended, and eventually lost. He also encountered another individual, one far more regal in stature (Hodari's view). The second individual he encountered was a lioness cub named Ciyari, who claimed to be the queen of the land. Hodari, being as young as he was, was enchanted by such a thing, as well as his incredible desire to not be alone. He joined up with Ciyari's pride and took Mistweaver as a permanent residence. However, the appearance of another male in due time riled something in Hodari. Maji was the next the young cub met, and it is likely that he never gave the other a chance in terms of friendship and trust. Hodari's nature from before his loss of memories was that of a jealous youth, and one who demanded attention from others, little or small. He became rather jealous of Maji and, eventually, dedicated himself to collecting as much food as possible for Ciyari. Unfortunately, he disappeared during such a period. He met a sly snake who chose to use him as a taxi cab, which often kept him occupied. In turn for his services the snake taught him various techniques he could use for hunting (mostly stealth and surprise. Hodari learned hunting more on his own through trial runs than anything). From young cub hood to adolescence Hodari was away from Mistweaver, having, seemingly, disappeared out of the lives of Maji and Ciyari for eternity. (He left at the beginning of adolescence to escape the snake, and returned roughly towards the beginning of adulthood). He returned after a long amount of time to find the two had grown drastically. Once again he rejoined the pride (Ciyari's, anyway. Believe me, Hodari won't acknowledge Maji in a rank above him). His membership was a loose one. Hodari had developed a 'loner' habit while on his own, which has kept with him since. He was often lounging in trees or hiding somewhere far away from the group. His association with the actual pride was more or less none. One day he encountered Ciyari, though, and it was discovered she was pregnant and leaving the territory. Hodari, although hardly going near anyone any longer, was desperate for one thing: To keep her. Ciyari, after all, was the first person he had met who had stayed with him longer than a day. His recollection of her during his cub-life is glorified awkwardly. Basically, it was close to worship. Her announcement to him sent him in a whirl, and he decided for himself that, if she left, he would leave too. After all, he didn't want to be alone with Maji! Thus, a request was made to Ciyari that he escort her. He left Mistweaver again, plotting never to return in the process, with Ciyari, and has been living with her and her three cubs since then.
** As Odein's curse was not carried out fully it has carried on to Hodari and Kopuk, the sons. Upon reproduction Hodari will follow his father's footsteps and likely attempt to kill his mate and children. However, that will only occur if he's actually around for them. There is always the chance he flees (if he ever figures it out) and leaves his mate and cubs behind. In that case, he wouldn't hunt them down, but if he ever came face to face with them again he'd likely attempt what he was intended to attempt during his children's cubhood.
Name: Kisiri
Meaning: Secret
Father: N/A
Mother: Nitu
Siblings: N/A
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: N/A
Pride: N/A
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: Kisiri is incredibly child-like in all aspects. He's a mother-boy, which is obvious by the way he often refers to how his mother use to 'do this' and 'do that'. Music is a passion of his, as he finds singing soothing, thus it is incredibly common to see him singing to the moon or stars. A paranoia is deep rooted into his soul, created by his mother. It is a firm belief of Kisiri's that he has a condition, and that if he sets foot into the daylight he will shrivel, burn, and die a horrible death. Thus, he is a nocturnal individual who is only seen when it is dark out. He won't be out if the sun is shining, he'll be cowering in his cave or sleeping.
History:
Kisiri was born to a small group of jungle hyenas. They ruled their little jungle with great pride, taking, surprisingly, good care of it. However, it was an incredibly strict group. No one was allowed to breed outside of the group, and doing so was punishable by death. This is where Kisiri comes mostly into play. His mother, Nitu, was a devilish girl with a tendency to flirt with males. One day she encountered a handsome young rouge of raven hue. She was struck dumb, fell blantly in love with the rouge, and eventually the two conceived secretly. The rouge fled, leaving Nitu alone. Nitu was devastated, of course! She fled from her pack and hid deep within the jungle, in a cave, until she gave birth to one pup. She knew she couldn't take the pup back to the pack with her, as it would just end in her death, as well as it's, and she had been too in love with the rouge to allow such a thing to kill the pup and leave. Thus, she made arrangements for herself. She raised the pup until it was old enough to eat food she provided. She then began to, sluggishly, return to her pack. However, things began to happen. She noticed her son, Kisiri, was incredibly curious about the outdoors. Thus, she set up a rule that he was not to venture out of the cave until she came for him. Kisiri obeyed her, and waited every day for her to return late in the evening for him. Later, Kisiri began to grow curious about why he was only allowed out when it was dark. His mother then invented a mysterious illness that Kisiri had. She told him that if he went outside during the day he would die a horrible death because of the sun. Kisiri believed her and never again questioned her reasoning for his remaining in the cave while it was daylight out.
Well, one day, Nitu never came for Kisiri. What happened to her, according to other animals in the jungle, was what happened to the whole pack: They were run out by lions seeking temporary shelter for whatever reason. Kisiri did not find this out until breaking his mother's first rule and venturing off on his own before she arrived (three days after her no showing up for him). He was devastated, obviously, but told himself his mother would return for him. she has not. Ever since then Kisiri has lived within a cave in the jungle by day, and ventured off during the evening for short amounts of time (sometimes long). He still believes his mother will be returning to him someday as well.

Name: Kipaji
Meaning: Natural Talent
Father: ?
Mother: ?
Siblings: ?
Half-siblings: ?
Offspring: ?
Pride: Rogue
Position in Pride: NA
Personality: With a heart as soft as his mane, Kipaji has a natural willingness to help or shelter others. Very much a "big brotherly" type, he just can't say no when it comes to the needs of others (even if they must come before his own). Though this doesn't necessarily thrill him all the time...
Kipaji is easily flustered or embarassed, and become very defensive when so. He takes things to heart and has a hard time forgetting little incidents. Perhaps this is why he's never mated... XD;;
He tends to put himself in the "paws" others, so to speak, and is therefore easy to talk to and identify with.
History: Kipaji was born with an identical twin brother, the only two of the litter, who was sadly killed by a Leopard shortly after their birth while their mother moved Kipaji to a new den. Though his mother was kind and cared for him well, he's always felt as though a part of him was missing or empty. Perhaps this is why he is eager to help others? To try and fill the nagging hole within him. His mother was a rogue as well, and he stayed at her side until they came across a pride willing to accept her. Kipaji, however, chose to continue wandering the vast corners of Africa. All his life he'd been moving from place to place, and this style of life suits him just fine.

History: After being raised to adult, the little female ran out into the world only to have it taken away when she was wounded during a monsoon that sweapt the lower savannah. It wiped out her memory of her past year of life as well as all of them that had come before.

History: Kizaki was nearly pup napped by a group of humans that live in a village not that far off when she was very young, yet somehow she managed to escape thanks in part to her mother distracting them by sacrificing herself for her young pup.

Meaning: N/A
Father: N/A
Mother: Zakiya- foster mother
Siblings: Hinotama
Adopted: Akiya
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: Jumanji, Amai Kabocha
Pride: N/A
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: Skittish and afraid of his own shadow, Korou tends to run before he?ll fight. He tends to be non confrontational and dislikes violence of any kind. He has problems finding food for himself because he refuses to kill for it, but when he becomes so hungry that he can?t stand it, his eyes glaze over red and he hurls himself at anything around him in a starving blood lust.
History: After a large monsoon swept across the savanna, Korou’s family was killed and he was too young to even remember it. After running around on his own for a long time, he met up with a larger and old cheetah that took care of him for a few moons. Korou had never been that skittish before hand, but on a bright day he lost his older friend to a lion that attacked them. The lion dived at him and slashed him across his left eye, blinding him before the old cheetah could lunge at the lion and force Korou away. His friend was killed as Korou fled and he swore to avenge him some day. From that day on, the cub became incredibly skittish and can get frightened by even his shadow. In the past few months the little cub has gotten himself into so much trouble that it’s almost incredible that he’s wound up with ones that love him. Thanks to meeting Hinotama, he finally had the love of a brother and thanks to Zakiya, he’d gotten his first taste of being mothered that he’d had in a long time. Yet thanks to his past, however short it had actually been at the time, the cub liked to wander around and follow his feet where they took him, however far it was, but always in the end he managed to get home before either his mother or brother woke up. Always he got home on time, except for one time where he was pinned down by an insane cheetah caught him and kept him in the Elephant Graveyard for an entire week. An entire week where the young cub was starved nearly to death and spent the time wondering if he was really missed by his family, or if they’d only just forgotten about him. By the time he got back, the cub was in for a surprise in the fact that his mother would have a cub a few weeks after he came back, making the young one even more restless and strange feeling. He stayed with her, but since then the adolescent has found his own home in Chopi and the two daughters that the pair of them have had. Name: Khepri
Meaning: Morning Sun
Father: Kavuasi
Mother: Mpeka
Siblings:
Brothers: Anisafiwaa,Damu
Sisters: Motobi'ata,Sundya
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: N/A
Pride: Rouge searching for the Elawayidi
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: Once a spiteful and cruel cub, after she left the firekin, Khepri grew to become a lovely and incredibly sweet lion. She gained scars from trying to help a slave once in her life, something that she fails to regret. Her heart is always in the right place and she'll help others even if they hash her for her horrid accent and tendency to be rather gruff. If a creature came to her asking for help, Khepri would never turn them away.
History: Born the second eldest and first girl of all of Kavuasi and Mpeka’s cubs, Khepri is sassy and has a lot of spunk, but she hides it all beneath the exterior of a gruff and angry lioness. She started hiding it the first time she ever met Naraka, not liking the male cub whatsoever and he was the first cub she saw when she first met the rest of her pride. From that day forward she promised herself that she would learn as much as she could about the Firekin, so that she could fit in despite the ringing voices that she constantly heard in her waking and sleeping hours. They keep her up at times of the night and the little cub has been trying to find ways to make them go away ever since she first heard them a moment after her birth. Often the voices are cruel and heartless, but they’ve been making more sense as of late and she’s been attempting to listen to them, despite her need to get rid of them. The things she heard from the voices didn’t save her when she met Denahi on a particularly hot day in the middle of the burning sands though. Trying to help him, she received wicked scars on the left side of her body, marked for the rest of her life. Though she learned a bit from him before he left the Firekin forever, Khepri is still looking for another lion that she can learn from, talking to the elders in a way that seems older than what her years should be. Since she started looking she left for the Ela and met loads of new characters along the way, though she has yet to find the Ela’ she found the ocean and her clam shells to silence the voices in her own head. Right now she’s taking Kota, a pridelander she just met, to the ocean to let him see it for the first time in his life. Name: Abayomi
Meaning: Egyptian - Brings Joy
Father: Avenasi ~ MIA
Mother: Mikana ~ Dead
Siblings: N/A
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: N/A
Pride: N/A
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: No matter who you are or what you come from, Abayomi would and will accept you for who you are with a bright smile and a nod. He loves make people smile and see them happy, it's one of the only things that brings him joy. The male hyena has actually spent time just searching for others in need of some cheering up, as it's his lifelong quest to cheer up the world.
History: When he was simply a pup, Abayomi was captured by humans and stuffed into a small wooden cage to be sold off for a hunting game. Lucky for Aba though the bars were simple wood and when he panicked and lunged at them they shattered and he ran off as quickly as he could. Without looking back he was hit in the shoulder with an arrow as he took off and he's lived with it there for quite a long time, though by now the shaft is beaten down and only a nub sticks out of his shoulder. He's lived with it there for many years and has no intentions of ever trying to find out where he came from. Instead when he was an adolescent he decided that he would go on a quest to make the world happy, so that they didn't have to feel the pain and loneliness that he did when he was younger. Now he goes around eliciting smiles from all and just letting his feet lead him over the savannah, though he's learned to never go past the sands.
In recent events thanks to one meeting and a lifetime of wandering, Aba has gotten attatched to and even hazarded to fall in love with a pregnant female named Mtupeni. She gave birth to 3 female pups before his eyes and gave him one of the most incredible moments of his life. Thanks to his immense and still growing love of Peni, Aba has decided to stay with her. Name: Athrun
Meaning: N/A
Father: N/A
Mother: N/A
Siblings: N/A
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring:
Hang: Adofo (Deceased), Anhur (Deceased), Thabit (Deceased)
Grand-Daughter: Avellano
Great-Grand-Daughter: Jurawa
Azraceri: Yadumugandama, Akiiki
Pride: N/A
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: Silent and a little shy, Athrun tends to hide up in the air away from the lands below and likes to sit on rocks up high so he can watch down on all of the lions and other creatures below. His life is fairly lonely and he would rather watch others than do something himself.
History: Born of the sand and loneliness of the world, Athrun has seen with unseeing eyes the rise and fall of a nation, a people, a society, and a being. He was created just before the Egyptian empire rose from the ground, his fur made up of the code that has become lost over the years the unmeaning hieroglyphics had at one point meant something to the people that had written it on him, evoking a sad feeling in them if they managed to even read them. Often now he can evoke the same feeling in people or even other lions if they look at him sitting on the top of a mountain. He hasn’t changed in appearance at all, thanks to the ankh on his hip and the Eye of Horus on his eye covering. Even though the beings that created him with their sadness and pain, Athrun has managed to stay on the earthly and godly plane though for as long as he lives he wanders the sky and the ground in the search of something that he can’t find. The only thing that he really keeps near him almost constantly is a small snake by the name of Hatimle’Mvua; Athrun saved her when she was dying on the sands of the Firekin desert. Putting her down inside of his collar with her head out of it, he went for a fly until she came to and was completely shocked by where she was. Since that day Athrun hasn’t been able to rid himself of her in good conscience, knowing that she’s more than a little attached to him by habit. Aside from Hatimle’Mvua, Athrun doesn’t really go out of his way to get along or talk with anyone. The god is slowly being whittled down by Hatimle’Mvua to become a good guy, though he balks against her stern words and gentle reminders of his conscience, the little snake knows a lot about loneliness and makes a good companion for the broken god who invokes that feeling no matter what he does. The god has had not only his confidence but his sense of being broken over and over again as he searches for the thing that he’ll never be able to find, his sense of purpose, his missing piece. Even his powers have been wavering, unable to be completely controlled and limited as they once were, sometimes even affecting him. Somehow he managed to find a mate, despite his past pains, named Azraceri and fathered a pair of cubs to her. They stayed apart from one another, wandering as the two of them always had, Azra in charge of Dumu and Athrun in charge of Akiiki. Unfortunately Akiiki was captured, leaving Athrun on a war path due to past losses and pain, though he and Azra are still on thin ice. Name: Paki

Siblings: Moyo, Tamariku, Bakari, Nitesh, Johari, Mvita
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring:
Pride: Unity Walkers(Soon to be Pridelanders)
Position in Pride: Youth
Personality: Overbearing a tad, Paki is mostly a kind hearted lion that looks for the best in everyone. His theory is that he can't smell or sense a bad lion. While he has no problem with his family and loves them very dearly the one thing that Paki DOES have an issue with is the constant coddling that he recieves.
History: Born blind and prone to quite a few accidents, as proven by his near drowning in his first few weeks, Paki has been coddled by his parents and everyone that meets him. The only one that didn't, his older sister Moyo, left with her mate to go to the pridelands. Ever since, Paki's been whistfully wondering whether or not he should stay or if he should go.
It was only recently that he wanted to leave after bumping into a leopard on the edges of his pride's lands. Currently he and Nakawa are plotting to leave, though they might have a little more company than they thought... Name: Akiiki/Okoth

Personality
Akiiki: Sweet, loving, giving and with the biggest heart of any lion anyone has ever met alive, Akiiki cares so much for his smaller but older brother that he has no qualms putting his life down on the line just to make him happy.
Okoth: Nasty and vicious, Okoth would like nothing more than to kill the owner of the body he’s crushed into. Despite his horrid personality he still has a weak spot for females, making him a more than terrible flirt.
History: Having never had many adventures other than the one where he met the small lion Kaede who was in reality a jackal, Akiiki simply likes to run around with his father and sing. Unfortunately his future, despite what others may think, is looking grim for the small white and violet bard. Already he’s been captured by the prince of the Maziko and the spirit that inhabits his body has begun to take control.

Siblings: Kailasa, Sauda
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: N/A
Pride: N/A(Soon to be EGP)
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality Nasty and harsh, bitter and cruel, flirtatious but untouchable, Kino won’t mess with you if you don’t mess with her but you’d best be wary of her attitude lest she bare her fangs at you. It’s very rare that she likes anyone, though she has an affinity for her father despite how much he tends to annoy her with his constant pestering and nagging.
History: She hates her family and she has plans to run away as soon as is humanly possible. Her sisters both strike her as idiots and she believes that her mother has been too drawn in by her mate Abayomi and that she's become far too soft. When she was given the opportunity by Nyo to run off and become something, with hunter training and less sweetness. Now she has the opportunity to not only not be alone in the world, but to go and see if she can join the EGP. Name: Hatimle’Mvua
Meaning: After the Rain - Swahili
Father: Mkaragaro
Mother: Nyoka
Siblings: Coming...
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: N/A
SoA: Athrun
Personality Bright, hyper and overexcited on many occasions, Hatimle’Mvua would much rather bounce around all over the place on her tail, annoying Athrun in an attempt to make him more active and less depressing
History: Abandoned in the middle of the savannah to die a lonely and slow death, but somehow that death didn’t come. When she awoke late one day, the small baby snake found that she was high up in the air, wind pouring over her body and reviving her from her stupor. From that moment on, the little snake decided to stay with Athrun, her god that had watched over her, for the rest of her life. Whether he liked it or not. Thanks to all of her nagging, Athrun got irritated one day and turned her immortal, telling her that if she felt like nagging and telling him how he should be, then she could at least stick around and make sure he stayed the way she wanted him to be. The fact that she was immortal made her feel strange for a long time, but after a while the little snake got used to it and has fallen in love with the idea that she can stay with Athrun for as long as the world exists.
Her only problem is that, because the Firekin were the ones that left her the way she was, Hati is deathly afraid of them. Even the mention of a Firekin makes her shake in fear. Though Athrun seems to be amused by them, she can’t help but be afraid. Name: Akamichi
Meaning: Japanese ~ Red
Father: N/A
Mother: N/A
Siblings: N/A
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: Okashi
Adopted Daughter: Isis(Meerkat)
Adopted Son: Akiiki(Lion)
SoA: Akiiki
Personality Laid back but somewhat blunt and mean, Aka will tell you off if you get on his nerves but he’ll tolerate you to a point, respecting you as a friend and a sibling before he says anything. His personality keeps him good as a father with how stern he is, but also somewhat of a put off simply because he’s so anti-social with adults. He does love cubs however and takes it upon himself to care for and raise others whenever they come to him.
History: Abandoned as a pup, the small wolf was taken in by someone else when he was in need and found himself in the care of a rather large lion. He stuck around the lion for a good bit before he finally got bored of the winged lion’s company and struck off on his own. Before long Aka grew bored with where he was and what he was doing and wondered what his winged foster parent was doing, only to discover that he couldn’t find him any longer. Crushed, the dog decided that in order to be like the lion that saved him for some reason that day, he would protect anything that came near him. Walking along he found an empty cave near a watering hole, deeming himself lucky, the wolf made it his home and has lived there ever since. At one point he’d taken in a wild dog, another wolf, a hyena, a lion and a meerkat. The meerkat, Isis, has lived with him ever since and he can’t seem to rid himself of her annoying closeness to him no matter what he does. Wherever he goes Isis follows him and tries to ride on him daily. Eventually the large wolf gave up the fight and let her stay with him, not caring if she tagged along and hung around his neck or not, his collar even gave her a comfortable resting place. He’s kept himself guarded from most things that appear before his den, watching the watering hole during the day lest something needing his help or some danger comes wandering over there. As the only watering hole for miles though, Aka sees quite a few characters pass by every day. However, recently the Maned Wolf has gotten the feeling that he doesn’t belong where he is, that he isn’t really home in his den. The feelings have been stirring in him that he wants to find where his home is, where he belongs. Isis has been tossing ideas of where to live at him over and over, but Aka hasn’t taken them very well, trotting past her to go off on a walk. The world feels like it’s pressing on him, but he can’t find a way around what he’s feeling. The sadness presses on him all the time, but Aka knows that eventually, he’ll know where he belongs.

Father: Korou
Mother: Chopi'njianpanda
Siblings: Jumanji
Half-siblings: N/A
Offspring: N/A
Pride: N/A
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality Incredibly fiery and a pain in her fathers behind, Amai has no problem running Korou up a wall because she knows he can’t see. While she’s incredibly kind and sweet she loves to be the bane of her family’s lives and in al generality run them in circles. It was what she brags to have been born for after all.
History: She was born wishing to be a healer... well not exactly BORN wanting, but she did grow to want to. Because her mother didn't deem it worth her going out and her father is fairly overprotective. Thanks to her sister Jumanji, Amai managed to slip away and currently she's trying to find her way to be taught healing. Name: Taka-Okami
Meaning: Japanese God of Rain
Father: Unknown

Siblings: Ueki
Half-siblings: N/A

SoA: Korou
Personality A momma’s boy to the end, Taka likes to stick to Amaterasu like glue and often follows her around as much as is humanly possible. Even if he loves his mother and sticks to her all the time, the pup still has somewhat of a wandering streak and wants to find out as much about the world as he possibly can.

Father: Kol
Mother: Kirjava
Siblings: *Shrugs*
Half-siblings: Ravi
Offspring: N/A
Pride: .:Coming:.
Position in Pride: Princess
Personality A little flirty on the outside, it’s only a front to hide her insecurities because of her father’s choices and her own want to protect her loved ones. Maru does have a fetish for dark things but she tends to hide it deep down from her father. The little ‘princess’ would give anything to make her father proud and to protect her loved ones, even if it means sacrificing her body for hours of training and discipline.

She has a natural fear of all males thanks to seeing only a spare few growing up.

Quote:  Name: Abeke (Ah-beak-kee) Meaning: Taken from the African name Abebe which means "he has flowered, flourished, grown." Father: unknown Mother: unknown Siblings: unknown Half-siblings: unknown Offspring: None Pride: None Position in Pride: None Personality: Abeke tends to be a little bit bordering the insane at times. His mind quite oftenly wanders, and he tends to be a touch egocentric. Probably the oddest thing about him, is the fact he thinks he's green, and will absolutely not admit that he's purple. Most believe this is because the mane right under his chin is green, thus he might of thought the rest of his body was, but the real reason is that when he was a child, his parents and siblings were all a greenish tint, his parents not wanting him to be excluded on the family, had aways told him he was. Even though deep inside Abeke knows that he is purple, he will never admit it, even to himself. Because of this, the lion will never look at himself, nor his reflection, this also rules out grooming. Being a rather picky lion, Abeke is just as clean as any other, meaning he takes multipul baths daily, and can mainly be found near a water source. Dispite his odd quirks, Abeke is quite intellegent, although this is quite masked by his completely odd behavior and utter randomness. History: Coming soon

Name: Barazahi
Meaning: Paradise
Father: Unknown
Mother: Deceased
Siblings: Unknown
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: None
Pride: None
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: Barazahi is a vain, reckless little cheetah. She's not afraid of very much, and usually gets herself into situations that any smart cheetah her age would steer clear of.
History: Coming Soon!Quote: 
Name: Jibwa
Meaning: Large Dog
Father: Unknown
Mother: Jahina'moyo - Courageous Heart (Deceased)
Siblings: None
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: None
Pride: Jua'nuru (Mountain Pride)
Position in Pride: Mtoto
Personality: Jibwa is very serious for his age, a trait which will likely only get worse with age. He acts far too grown up for his own good in attempt to impress Safi'theluji, his unofficial 'big sister', but unwittingly causes her more distress that he's throwing away his childhood on her behalf. He is extremely loyal to his pride and Safi, much like a dog to its master.
History: Jibwa was born of a Mwezi'kivuli and Jua'nuru after the two prides were torn apart. The affair was found out and promptly stopped, and he was raised a Jua'nuru like his mother. Because of this, he has never met his true father. Unfortunately, his mother did not survive the famine, opting instead to keep her cub fed at the expense of herself. Safi'theluji has since taken him as her charge, treating him as the brother she never had.Quote: 
Name: Kimulimuli (Sadifu'akili)

Father: Deceased
Mother: Deceased
Siblings: Imara'moyo (Steadfast Courage)
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: None
Pride: Jini-misemi
Position in Pride: Noble?
Personality: Kimu is chicken-quacking crazy; years alone in a swamp will do that to you. But she isn't usually dangerous, just extremely.. Quirky. Most of the things she says don't make sense, at least the normal brand of sense, anyway.
History: Coming Soon!Quote: 
Name: Safi'theluji
Meaning: Pure Snow
Father: Tukufu'wadi (Majestic Son) - Deceased
Mother: Jahina'moyo (Silent Flower) - Deceased
Siblings: Ausi'jabali (Black Rock)
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: None
Pride: Jua'nuru (Mountain Pride)
Position in Pride: Maliki
Personality: Safi is reserved, polite, and serious. At time she ma . Her pride and its survival are her first priority. She seems cold and distant at first, but hidden inside her is a curious child, wanting desperately for some comfort and freedom.
History: Safi'theluji is daughter of the last Maliki of the Ardhi'bedui and was appointed Maliki of the new Jua'nuru. She never knew her parents, both dying before or shortly after her birth. She has also never met her twin brother Ausi'jabali, but is convinced that he is not worthy of rule; his fall from grace proves it so. Because of her elevation to Maliki at such an early age, Safi has been forced to abandon any hope of a carefree childhood and learn to be a strong, competent leader. She has yet to find a mate although it has been made painfully clear that reproduction is her only hope for the survival of her clan.Quote: 
Name: Siri'bakunja
Meaning: Secret Deceit
Father: Deceased
Mother: Deceased
Siblings: None
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: Unknown? >D
Pride: Mwezi'kivuli (Mountain Pride)
Position in Pride: Kahini
Personality: Siri'bakunja is the type of lion you don't want to meet up with in a dark alley. Although he maintains complete loyalty to Ausi'jabali (or at least the illusion of loyalty), he treats the other members of his pride with significantly less respect. After all, as the oldest and wisest of all the Mwezi'kivuli, who more than he deserves the right to treat people as he likes?
History: Siri has lived his life as a prophet, an avatar of the Moon, ever since the scar in the shape of a crescent moon was discovered on the newborn's upper right thigh. He advises his charge Ausi'jabali, the boy king whom he has raised as a cub, in the secrets and will of the Moon.
The life of a Kahini is never easy, and interpreting the will of the gods is a difficult task indeed. But Siri's most difficult task is keeping some dark secrets to himself. Siri is a fake, a false prophet who was assigned this lot in life by an ambitious father, who wanted above all to sire the servant to the Moon. The mark on Siri's thigh is a fraud, a forgery created by his father (much to Siri's disdain). The lion took the mewling Kahini out into the woods and abandoned it, vowing to do the same with any other Kahini who should emerge. His son would be the one to commune with the gods, and no one else would.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, perhaps), the gods didn't agree. Siri'bakunja never had the gift he claims, and never will. As the years went on, Siri's father died, and there hadn't seemed to be any rise of a new Kahini. But Siri was only mildly believable as a prophet, and a few were beginning to wonder.. By the time of Tukufu'wadi's death, Siri found a way to keep a handle on the power he had been losing. He was the one to suggest the disbandment, calling it the will of the Moon. With this young, impressionable mind to mold, he could start anew. The Maliki of the Ardhi'bedui may have stopped believing in him long ago, but the Maliki of the Mwezi'kivuli would depend on his wisdom and trust in his judgement completely. Just as if he were the child's father..Quote:

Name: Dosari
Meaning: defect, imperfection
Father: Deceased
Mother: Deceased
Siblings: A brother and sister, both deceased
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: None
Pack: None
Position in Pride: None
Personality: Coming Soon!
History: (Taken from my entry in the contest I won him in) Such is the way of life that a two souls should find each other and fall in love, and together bring into the world a new life that was conceived through that love. Also is the way of life, that things don't always go according to plan..
The cream-colored cheetah cub was born to a sickly mother and an eager father, both a little past their prime, in a litter of three; his brother and sister arrived stillborn, and from the moment the cub opened his lifeless eyes, his parents became aware that there was something terribly wrong with him as well.
It is a tragic thing when life doesn't turn out the way you want it to, but for some, it is also a thing that is impossible to accept. When it was discovered that the cub was blind, he was named Dosari, meaning defect. His father became bitter and hateful as he tried his hardest to make Dosari overcome his shortcomings, beating him and pushing him and making him stronger. His mother did not object; she loved her cub but she blamed herself and became too involved in her own self-doubt to move forward.
Even with his father's abuse and his mother's apathy, Dosari was a gentle soul. He understood, perhaps far better than either of his parents, and loved them in spite of their own shortcomings. As the seasons changed, the passing of time took from Dosari the only two who really loved him; with a love that was imperfect, but love all the same. And he thanked them as he made his way alone, an imperfect soul in an imperfect world.

Name: Amani
Meaning: Peace
Father: Unknown
Mother: Unknown
Siblings: None
Half-siblings: None
Mate: Harabu
Offspring: Idubencane, Huruma, Umbia, and Nurisha
Pride: Kusini'Mwezi
Position in Pride: Huntress
Personality: Amani is the shy, not very trusting sort. She's extremely afraid of things that are bigger than her, but could ignore that fear if the situation calls for it. She doesn't like crowds either, she feels much more comfortable around one or two others, sometimes allowing as much as three around her at one time.
Despite this, she enjoys having friends and is starting to see that having friends and being in the company of others is sometimes better than being alone. She likes to help others, as well, and it hurts her to see another in pain, especially emotional.
History: Amani lived on her own as a cub, fending for herself, but mostly living on the discarded food of other animals. She realized early on, that because of the color of her coat, it was difficult for her to hide well in the grass. As she got older, she met another lioness, Tufani, and a jackal, Jani'mwiba, and started living with them in a thorn patch just inside the Prideland border.
She then began to learn that though her coat did not blend well with the grasses, she could still hunt well during sunrise and twilight, as well as on moonless nights.
She met a lion named Harabu when they were a cubs and recently ran into him again, remembering only snatches of their first meeting, while he remembered nothing. He took her to another lion, Nyek, who made her a slave to Harabu.
Although she doesn't know Harabu well, for some reason she trusts him a little and feels sorry for him. Which may or may not be the best thing for her.
After a while in the oasis, Harabu left Amani, not telling her where he was going or when he was coming back. It was then that she began to realize how much she really cared for him. Before he returned, she was marked by Nyek, spurring a rage from Harabu when he found out. The two lovebirds left the oasis to find a new home for themselves, a safe home where they could forget the past. Harabu's still getting used to Amani's love and loving her in return and he's still the same anti-social lion he always was, however he's warmed up considerably to her.
Name: Huruma
Meaning: Compassion
Father: Harabu
Mother: Amani
Siblings: Idubencane, Umbia, and Nurisha
Half-siblings: Sairin, Ihlosenka, and Tota'keke
Mate: None
Offspring: None
Pride: Kusini'Mwezi
Position in Pride: Youth
Personality: Huruma's nothing like either of her parents were when they were young. She's bouncy and curious about everything and isn't afraid of anything that she knows of. She likes to sing little songs she makes up and pounce her sisters when they're not paying attention.
But she has her quiet moments where she'll sit patiently beside her mother, learning how to appreciate silence or bouncing by her father's side as she learns what he can teach her and warn her about. She a daddy's girl, often found trailing behind Harabu.
History: Huruma is the second daughter of Amani and Harabu.
Name: Machungwa'kweu
Meaning: Orange Light
Nickname: Kweu (Light)
Father: Kivuli wa Usiku
Mother: Nyota'anguka
Siblings: She doesn't like to remember them
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: None
Pack: None
Position in Pack: N/A
Personality: Thought insane by most, she keeps to herself and is far from the trusting attitude she had when she was much younger. She talks to an imaginary bird that is just another sign of the madness she developed over her childhood. She's quite untrusting of others bt prefers not to resort to violence, even when she's backed into a corner. She prefers to talk her way out of conflicts. However, she will retaliate physically if she has no other choice.
History: Born the single pup in a litter to the leaders of the pack, Machungwa'kweu was considered odd from the beginning. With a coat unlike either of her parents, a bright orange and white whereas most of her relatives were darker colors like black, deep blue, or purple. They imediately began to try and figure why she was different. Several ideas arose. Her mother had been lost on a hunt for some time and she may have had an affair with a rogue dog, though she denied those accusations against her. Another theory was that the gods of the pack had somehow influenced her birth. But the pack's seer fought against that idea for surely the gods would have told him if they were going to honor them by influencing the birth of a pup into their pack. So that idea was ignored, most of the pack prefering the first idea.
So she was ridiculed by her pack, but mostly her older siblings. They refused to accept her as their little sister. They called her foul names and took oppurtunities to lash out at her, prefering to use her fragile mind instead of physically attacking her. As a pup because of her lack of friends, she created an imaginary friend, a bright bird the color of the sun that her mother named her for. But the torment her brethern put her though began to weigh on her mind and she had slipped into a semi-madness by the time she left as an adolescent. She believed her bird friend was real and often spoke to it as if it were truly there, following her. It is actually just a figment of her subconscious, warning her against others, a manifestation of an untrusting nature that had been forced upon her by the family that wouldn't except her.
Name: Tembezishaha
Meaning: Wandering Minstrel
Nickname: Shaha (Minstrel)
Father: Moto'fuadi
Mother: Tumbuizo
Siblings: None
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: None
Pride: None
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: A kind soul who enjoys the telling of tales and singing of songs. A bard of sorts, his mother named him well. He'll go out of his way to help another and cannot help himself when there is a lady in need. However, he takes much after his father, a strong rogue who, if he hadn't had the aparently hereditary trait of wandering paws, could have led his own pride to greatness. He's no weakling and in the heat of battle he tends to forget himself. One might say he has an almost dark side, but it is rare and he does his best to control his anger.
History: Born on a warm summer night, he was his parents' only child and their pride and joy. They were a part of a small hodge-podge of creatures that traveled, nomads of sorts. They were an asortment of entertainers, sooth-sayers, seers, and historians. Tembezishaha's father led the band. He was a protecter, for he had little talent but a great love for Shaha's mother.
As a cub, he learned all the songs and tales he could from all the others. He even learned how to balance a rock on his nose from a rambunctious pair of cheetah twins.
When he was an adolescent, he developed his father's wandering paws with a vengence. He couldn't stay still as long as the others did. So he left to go wandering on his own, telling his stories and finding more. He will always miss the band, for they were, indeed, his family. But he knew that his wandering spirit would never leave him, just as it would never leave his father, or his father before him. He would forever be a wandering minstrel.
