They call me Usha
Its pronounced Ooo-sha
I'm only Six years old
If you can't tell already I'm a Female
Its fairly easy to see that I'm a Spotted Hyena
In my group I rank as the Alpha Female
My fur color is Orange and Tan with black and brown spots
My eyes are Dark brown
As of right now I love Whomever I chose
I have a few offspring, their names are None so far
If you asked my friends about my personality they would tell you that I'm a wicked spirit. I very rarely will ever care for another hyena other than myself. With that, I've been told that I'm cruel and heartless in my approach to most others around me, whether I know you or not. Of course, don't think that, that doesn't meant that I'm not going to toy with your emotions. Where's the fun in that? But yes, I'm sinister and very, very much a plotter. Just know that before I approach you, I already have several plans in mind in how everything could go. You could say that I like to come prepared. Honestly too though - I'm also not afraid to double-cross anyone if that means that I'd end up on top of the totem pole. I do what I can to get were I want. Obviously - that brings me to the very little trust I have for, well. pretty much everyone. You might think that I'm letting you get to know me, or letting you in close, but really - you've been at tail's length the entire time. Whatever though - this persona I've had since I was a yearling and it the rather angry hyena I've created myself to be is rather fine by me. I'll mind my own business and not worry about the drama of the rest of the clan. Just remember though - I'm a liar at best and won't hesitate to bend the truth so that I'm shown in the brighter light.
If you asked about my life story I would tell you this When I was a young pup - I watched as both of my parents were slaughtered by a lioness trying to protect me and my other siblings. The three of us were able to run, get out of the angry mother's wrath and find ourselves lost within a wide and open plain. Eventually, we happened upon an older, ex Gamma female who agreed to take us under her wing and provide for us and teach us how to survive. The b***h played favorites though and my two brothers stole every second of her attention. So really - guess who ends up doing all of the dirty work and taking the blame whenever my two brothers got into trouble? Me. I suppose that's why I started becoming so angry at a young age. I mean come on, I felt ignored, abandoned, alone. Hell. I even blamed my own stupid parents for it. Honestly, it was a nightmare and I just wanted out. To run away, as far as I possibly could and never turn back. I didn't though. Where would a pup of my size have gone? Anyways - eventually the b***h brought us back to her own pack on the far side of the river. Even there I was freaking bullied by all of the other pups who instantly took a better liking to my brothers. What was wrong with me? Did I look funny or something to them when I was a pup? I suppose it doesn't matter much now anyways.
I grew sick and tired of it and as we grew, I schemed. I plotted everything that I possibly could on how to kill the little runts. Eventually that time did come too. I had had enough and when we had just turned into yearlings - one attacked me. Said he wanted to put me in my place. To say the least, the fight ended up with him bloody and dead on the ground and my turning tail and running. I ran and ran and ran as far away as I could. I don't remember exactly why I ran anymore. I was already starting to become bigger than all the stupid brutes who had picked on me, but it didn't matter. That's not where I wanted to be. As I traveled alone, I came across the Yadinga clan. I was actually fairly young and stupid at the time, and challenged almost all of the females I could, trying to raise to the top of the group and take my rightful place as the alpha. As I grew and grew and became more dominant and a better fighter, I finally over-threw the b***h at the top and exiled her from the clan. Nice, right? So here I am a year later, leading my vicious pack of canines who will do everything I say.
I forgot to mention I'm the biggest and most dominant member of this Clan and won't hesitate to show you so. Be wary of breaking any rules as I don't tolerate insubordination.

They call me Kabir
Its pronounced Ka-beer
I'm only Six years old
If you can't tell already I'm a Male
Its fairly easy to see that I'm a Lion
In my group I rank as the Outsider
My fur color is A light gold with a slightly darker, matching mane
My eyes are My left is a light honey in color, the right a milky blue.
As of right now I love no one
I have a few offspring, their names are none
If you asked my friends about my personality they would tell you that I'm loyal, obedient, agile and independent, and a fearless hunter. When it comes to the coalition, my friends, and my loved ones - there isn't anything that I won't do to make sure that they don't come to any harm. I feel like I am very quick on my feet and learn at an extraordinary level of swiftness. Above all else though, I am very much a loyal lion. I only serve my brotherhood, and I would travel to the end of the earth with them to make sure that we are successfull. That doesn't always mean I don't keep one eye open at the females around though and occasionally throw out flirts. Don't get me wrong about all that chivalrous stuff though. I have been known to have a temper and can fight rather dirty when it comes down to it. From there, I could be called a goofball when just laying around with my coalition - or even pride if I get one, cracking jokes where I can and getting others to laugh and generally feel better. As well though, I'm a busy-bee. Very rarely will I be standing around doing nothing, it just feels so unproductive to me, you know?. There's always something to be done, if it's around the coalition or for the boys - I know that I need to get it done. Mostly though, I figure I just don't like idle paws - that's usually what gets others into trouble, right?
If you asked about my life story I would tell you this Way back, I guess you could say six years ago, I was born to a nice and healthy litter of three cubs. It was myself, and two sisters. I couldn't remember much about that time - but what I can say for certain is that there were five lionesses in the large crèche that we had. Each of them having three to four cubs each. It didn't really matter to all of us who was who's immediate siblings, since we all grew up like we were just one very large litter. It was in there that I met my two other brothers - Kasim and Kato. They were my 'cousins' if anything, but I still saw them as brothers and so the lot of us grew up together. We had a very large pride to provide for us when we were small like that and so all of us had a great chance of living as it came to be. I would admit that I enjoyed it. Playing around with my sisters, other cousins, and even the pride males! Which, I loved a lot you know. Anyways - as we all grew up times never got too hard. Obviously during the dry seasons there was less and less food for us to feast upon, but with so many lionesses in the group - we never did go hungry for too long at a time.
Anyways, we grew there until we were about one and a half, to two years of age when finally we were getting too big for the pack to handle and the old pride males decided that it was time to drive us out of the pride. That was when the three of us decided to create our own little coalition. It worked out well for the beginning years. When we had just split off though - I was fairly curious about my surroundings. We all were - how could you blame us? It was the first time that we had been out on our own and we were very bold and confident with the three of us together. Who would want to mess with three full grown male lions? Not many of the animals out in the African Savanna. Anyways - I was exploring around when I found a Cobra. I didn't know much about these scaly things - but when I was further investigating - it spit something at my face and whatever it was got right into my eye. IT burned and burned and burned for days and I did everything I could to try to get it to stop hurting and itching. Eventually though - I went blind in that eye as the milky film covered it, signaling that, that eye went dead. Or whatever you want to call it and I couldn't use it anymore.
I learned from that experience no doubt, however that didn't stop my, and my brothers travels throughout the lands. Our goal was pretty much anything - to just walk up and conquer a pride that was less fortunate to have males and take over it as our own. That would be the ultimate time for us since we are currently at our peak. To control all of the little lionesses and just be on top. Not needing to worry about hunting for ourselves through this really dry period. Produce bundles of our own offspring and at on the top like the three brothers we are. Obviously I'm not the dominant one of the three of us anymore. That missing eye can be a cause of a hindrance, and I've been told that I'm the nicer one of my three brothers. Either way - we'd challenge everything and everyone we came across. If that meant large prey - other predators, or even other pride males. We aren't just going to back down without a little fight of our own to show who's boss. That could account for the various scars at least along my body - and especially around my face since I do fight dirty when it comes down to it. So I guess that's where we currently are in our travels. Three nomads walking around the world looking for a nice place for us to settle down.
I forgot to mention I am blind in my right eye. When I was young - I harassed a spitting cobra. I don't think you need to know the rest of the details to figure out what happen . .

They call me Jelani
Its pronounced Jell-on-knee
I'm only Three years old
If you can't tell already I'm a Male
Its fairly easy to see that I'm a African Wild Dog
In my group I rank as the Pack Member
My fur color is Tans and light browns, dappled with black and white spots
My eyes are Dark brown, almost black
As of right now I love No one
I have a few offspring, their names are none
If you asked my friends about my personality they would tell you that I'm not totally there. My head it always in the clouds, and I'm not always aware what is going on around me. Ditsy is another word to call it. I'm not the smartest of the bunch, or the fastest. . definitely not the strongest. Though, I do have a very large attitude and love to be the center of attention. I know that I'm handsome and proud of it. Playing around is one of my favorite past-times, as well is sun bathing, barking, and cuddling. It can be said that I'm stubborn though and thick in the head. I don't do very much that I really don't want to. Did I mention that I like to hop around? It's weird, I know, but it's soooo much fun. I can have a temper, but that's really only when you are interrupting me or getting in my face about something. Even then, I rarely do anything harmful. Before I forget. . I also have separation anxiety. It sucks, I know, but I always need to be around others and hate being alone. That could probably be from when I was run out of my previous pack. I am a follower at best. Very rarely will I get up and take some initiative, and what goes with that, is that sometimes I follow for reasons that I don't even know. Kinda like a monkey-see monkey-do type of thing.
If you asked about my life story I would tell you this Well, It started way back when I was born right? It was a healthy pack known as Lyuan. There were a lot of us at one point, so many little pups running around as more than just the Alpha female at the time was agreed to mate. It was the wet season when I was born. And I remember it always being so cold and, well, wet. Who knew it could be so cold at a time here in the African savanna? As it came though - everyone took turns in raising all of us. My mother, well. I guess I didn't really know her since apparently she died while she was giving birth to me and the rest of my siblings. I was the first born you know! But soon as I found out - I was the only born that actually made it. There was another female there who had given birth to a litter at the same time as my mom and so she took me in like she was my real mother. But every day she would tell me that she wasn't my real mother, but she would take care of me if I let her. I didn't ever know why she always told me that. It seemed like a sad thing to say to a pup, and it always had me depressed. But I wouldn't ever refuse her care. She was my new mother now and I grew up with my siblings as much as I could! We were always hyper and very energetic and well fed within the early years!
I made a lot of friends too within my old pack. Take Aoe for example. She's one of my 'sisters'. But like an older one you know? I dunno if I annoyed her or anything, but I was always so fond of her and it seemed like she took me in as a younger brother. As I grew though, so did the rest of the pack. There were just so many of us, and by the time that I reached the age of two and a half - well. Not many of us younger dogs were allowed to stay. It hurt a lot, after they said that it was our time to go. Some of my brothers and sisters were run out. Others just left because they were asked. It wasn't very vicious though. We were all still family and couldn't bare the thought of leaving each other. But it was a nasty dry season that was coming and there just was too many mouths to feed. The Alphas said it was their fault, that they shouldn't have let other females breed, but that's not really what I think the problem was. That decision was made two years ago after all! Who knew there would be a drought as bad as this one. I couldn't even remember the last time I saw an impala running around.
So yeah, it was a heartbreak - especially since I don't like being separated from the ones I love. If I had the tear ducts to cry, well, then I probably would have. A few of us stuck together by some time - but the savanna is a cruel place for young wild dogs who have no idea what it is exactly that they are doing while on their own. Hyenas are nasty - I found that out quickly, and Lions, well. You just don't want to mess with them. Months went by though and eventually I was able to stumble across another pack of wild dogs. Oh you have no idea how hard my heart was beating when I knew there might be a chance at having a real family again! That's all I wanted really, was to be accepted and live in the family life - helping where I could. Nzwani took me in, and boy - Safi and Rumble are just so nice. We have skill hunters and warriors and the leadership is amazing. I know I'm just a pack member. But that means that I can do anything right? I'll hunt when they need me to. I'll fight to defend the land! And I'll watch over the pups if that's what they want me to do! It's been just like I never left my other family - I never wish to leave this one either.
I forgot to mention I see Aoe as an older sister. She was always there for me in my other pack.

They call me Ramalan
Its pronounced Ra-mall-an
I'm only Four years old
If you can't tell already I'm a Male
Its fairly easy to see that I'm a Meerkat
In my group I rank as the Sentry
My fur color is An olive yellow, mixed with very light, sand tans and a creamish grey underbelly and face
My eyes are Brown, but on the darker side
As of right now I love none
I have a few offspring, their names are None
If you asked my friends about my personality they would tell you that I'm headstrong and very bold. I will always go the extra mile when it comes to getting what I want and how I want it. Mostly though, it goes to the service of my band members. When it comes to watching guard though, I know that I can be very stern and sometimes aggressive. Don't let that fool you though. When a meerkat gets close to me, they'll see the other side, a shy, innocent male who lacks many social skills. And if that happens, well. you could probably find me stumbling for words around most female and when it comes to meerkats of higher ranks, I suppose I may be a little too submissive. As well, I'm very blunt and I don't hide any part of my personality to any one. I've been told that I'm too serious before, as I don't find humor in things very often. My job and responsibilities are important to me, and I don't like to show weakness. With that, I am a kat of my word. If I promise you anything, it will be done in good time, you can count on that. Other than that, I'm very protective. because, well, it is simply my job to make sure that every one is safe.
If you asked about my life story I would tell you this My life was actually really, really boring in the early years. Like most of the pups - I was born to the Alpha female, and the father, well. I guess that was different, we didn't know who my father was at the time because there wasn't an Alpha male. I was mostly taken care of by the sitters in the pack, which I suppose as well isn't too unusual. It just sucked because I never really had the adult feminine figure in my life that I really called 'mother'. Sure, the Sitters were good replacements, but that didn't mean too much in the way of me having a mother. They cooed over all of my other siblings while I pretty much went my own way and tried to stay clear of most of them. So I guess you could say I was a bit of an outsider when I was little. Even though I was born Zuande - it meant very little to the fact when my other siblings really wouldn't give me the light of day. So once I was old enough to leave the den - I would go out with the foragers every day and learn how to be a meerkat that provided for his family without really coming into the light of being shown who I was.
A little sad? I don't think so. It made me who I was today. Even though I was still a little bit on the outs of the band, that didn't mean that I wasn't very protective of the members. It wasn't too long before a new Alpha female took over the role as my mother was seen as weak and not fit to run the band. She was run out and I never saw her from there. Actually - when she left, two knew Meerkats took to being the Alphas of the band. Axel and Lesedi. I didn't care too much for either of them, but what was I going to do? I was just a lowly forager trying to scrape by in life. It was a random day though, going like just all of the others, when while I was gathering some pretty tasty grub, there was a shadow that came over our search party. I looked to the sky and saw the bird. It was right then that I knew the sentry wasn't keeping watch and I was the one that sounded the alarm. Thankfully we didn't lose as many members as we could have that day. From then on - they liked my keen eye and promptly promoted me to a sentry. Which - I take this job very seriously now since I saw what could have happen because one of our old ones was sleeping on the job. It's very tedious and tiring work, but I want to be there to protect my band members at all costs!
I forgot to mention There is very little I miss, in the skye, or within the gossip of the band. I'm just full of information about one another, but that doesn't mean I'll go spreading it around.

They call me Gituku
Its pronounced Gi-tu-ku
I'm only Seven years old
If you can't tell already I'm a Male
Its fairly easy to see that I'm a Lion
In my group I rank as the King
My fur color is Dark tan, almost Sienna
My eyes are Amber
As of right now I love All of the females in my pride
I have a few offspring, their names are well, I can't remember
If you asked my friends about my personality they would tell you that I'm very protective, but we'll get there in a minute. I've lived for a pretty decent amount of time now, I'd say and so I've found myself to be a very wise king. There has been a lot that I've learned in life, and that's too that words can travel a long way when it comes to trying to deal with solving problems. A level head is also needed a lot, which can sometimes be hard to keep. Yes - I will admit that my temper could be under a little more control. There have been several times that I have been known to lash out at some of my pride members, or ever so rarely my coalition members. Even if they are like brothers to me, that doesn't always stop that red shield of rage that can sometimes fall over my eyes. Lately I've been trying to control that though by keeping to myself and staying more on the positive looking and thinking. I've kept a very tough exterior for my emotions and am very strong willed by nature, meaning very much that I am not a push over by far and that it is rare that you'd get your way with me. But with that, of course there is a soft side, and when you see that, that would be my family and my pride. I feel like the cubs are our future and that they need to be protected at all costs. Which is why I let them eat at meals with me and keep everyone else at bay first. They need to be tended to first to make sure they all survive. That would be why I become so protective over my pride. Outsiders be ware - because I won't let anything happen to my children.
If you asked about my life story I would tell you this I was born to a pretty decent size pride, actually. In my litter, there were four cubs born, but after a few weeks of harsh heat and very little moisture, it was just I that survived to be old enough to be brought back into the pride. I was very, very young though when my mother decided to bring me in to socialize for the first time. Plus, she was the only female bringing in a cub as well since the other lioness lost her entire litter. So it's easy to say that I actually had it really rough. Since there was a litter previous to mine - of course there were older cubs that were within the pride. Well, I'm sure you'd think that was great right? That I'd have plenty of older cousins to talk to and play around with. When really, that wasn't the case at all. I was bullied because I was the young one. Think of me, if you will like a cute little new toy that everyone wanted to play with. With my small size trying to fit in with their hyper and aggressive play style, I had to learn hard and fast that if I didn't try to defend myself in a hurry, then I could accidentally wind up dead from a simple rough-and-tumble.
I guess it wasn't all that bad. I learned how to be strong and not let anyone take advantage of me. In all reality, because I was able to survive, that increased the chances that I had from when I would have to be cast out of the pride. Which, of course happen right about when I turned the age of three. I apparently was growing to be too much of an adult for the other pride kings to allow and soon it came of the slow ritual of me just being banished out and sent on my own. There was one other lion male that I was sent out with actually. He was a cousin from the litter just after mine. The two of us were able to stick together for a rather long time, to ensure the both of our safety and abilities to get food. He was definitely the more dominant one at the time, but it was another thing for me to learn that I needed to stand up for myself. It was almost like I had the memories of how I was being treated in the pride coming back. And eventually, I was able to over-come him and in turn, I was then the dominant male in our coalition which made for a great time actually. We finally had direction and we could go places - anywhere we wanted and try to conquer anything we pleased.
A year or so passed, and that's about when it happen. There was a large herd of water buffalo that we had encountered, with a badly injured calf within their midst. So of course, being the brash males that we were, we went after the calf. Of course the bulls weren't going to let that happen and at one point in our hunting attempts, the two of us got separated. I remember us both being chased out of opposite ends of the herd, and that was the last time I saw him actually. I'm not sure if he got injured, or what happen to this day. If it wasn't for losing him though, I probably wouldn't have found Zuberi. It wasn't too long after that I found this new male and the two of us found out that we got together very well and formed our own Coalition. Eventually through our own abilities, we were able to score a very good sized territory and a wonderful pride to call our own. Of course with our other coalition members as well - we are here to make sure that nothing will happen to our precious land and females, and make sure that the order is where it is supposed to be. Laying at our paws.
I forgot to mention Even though I have a hardened and battle-scarred exterior, that doesn't mean that I can be a softy when it comes to the cubs within the pride. I will make sure that they will be well taken care of and that all of their needs are met. If we can't take care of our future, what can we take care of?
