Pride: Pridelands
Rank: Youth

Personality: Like a typical cub, Riko likes to play and having three brothers means he can get a bit over-zealous and rough. He likes to be in charge and takes everything he does very seriously, making a game out of almost anything while he is young.

History: Mafuriko was the second born in his litter of five, in the second litter of Miamba and first of Ashado. With his parents and siblings, he lives in the Pridelands.

Mate: none
Offspring: none, Kafiri may not be fertile.

Pride: none
Rank: Rogue

Personality: Kafiri's personality varies slightly depending on the company she is in. With her family, she is quiet, reserved and non-confrontational. She tries to keep out of trouble, though it doesn't always work, and to keep her mother and siblings happy. When she is around strangers, especially those who might not recognize the lion in her, Kafiri tends to try to live up to the leopard ideal- making her more proud and outgoing.

History: Born second youngest and most like her father to a leopard who hates lions, she is far from geting any approval from her mother and is naturally the leopardess' least favorite of the cubs.

Name: Ibura
Meaning: spot (Swahili)

Obtained: Custom
Colorist: Meepfur

Father: ???
Mother: ???
Siblings: none

Extended Family: none
Adoptive Family: Isithelo (sister)

Mate: none
Offspring: none

Pack: none
Rank: Rogue

Personality: Ibura is rather loopy, as far as waterbucks go. Since being found and accepted a sibling by a maned wolf, Ibura is convinced it is the truth that she is, in fact, a rather odd maned wolf. She is friendly and understanding, trying to see both (or all) sides to a situation, and has a rather high tolerance for the oddities in others. After all, she is a maned wolf with a strange distaste for meat!

History: Ibura was young when she was separated from her family, and lived alone for a short time. In the wrong place at the wrong time, the waterbuck was caught in the middle of a stampede. She was found by Isithelo, a maned wolf, shortly afterwards in the spot she'd chosen to hide from all the commotion. Ibura was convinced by the wolf's colors that she had found her family. They teamed up and have lived happily as sisters since.
