 Deceased, Missing, & Dispersed
Nesibindi (NPC) – Deceased
The leader of the soon to be Nchi'mahadhi pride during the time before Indlovu introduced "the Rhythm". Somber, determined and powerful in spirit, she devoted her life to her pride and thus never had any cubs. Believing that Indlovu would lead their pride to better times, she stepped down from the throne and gave it to the lioness shortly after Indlovu performed her dance for Nesibindi. She stayed on in the pride as a nanny until her death. Nesibindi is the writer of the Hunt Song, which is sung before the first hunt of every season.
Indlovu (NPC) – Deceased
Named for her loud-stomping feet, Indlovu was the one who first found "the Rhythm" and introduced it to her pride. She is the creator of many of the instruments that the Nchi'mahadhi still use today. A charming, motivated lioness, she brought laughter and prosperity to her pride. Many songs are sung in her honor, and the Nchi'mahadhi believe that the rhythm beat by elephant feet are an echo of her rhythm.
Ma'gxila (NPC) – Deceased
Indlovu's granddaughter and the last Malenga before the plague struck, Ma'gxila was the first to give a male lion status. Before her time, lions were permitted only to lead their own gender, having no say in pride matters. Ma'gxila elevated her mate to the position of De'inkunzi, and thus opened the doorway for more positions of that kind. She was a very easy-going and laid back lioness, never letting too much bother her.
Mnyama (NPC) – Missing/Deceased
Eldest daughter of Ma'gxila, Mnyama was renowned for both her charisma and her vanity. She fell in love with the rogue Lubisi and followed him away from her pride. He had told her that she would be the queen of the empire he would create; however once he had impregnated her he vanished. Only one daughter (Nsundu) was born, far from her home. Mnyama taught Nsundu all that she could remember, before abandoning the cub to chase after Lubisi. It is unknown if she ever found him.
Khululile (NPC) – Deceased
Mnyama's younger brother. Laid back and calm like his mother, he accepted Mnyama's place as future Malenga without any fuss. He cared deeply for his pride, and was well liked. Khululile died from the plague.
Sheshile (NPC) – Deceased
Mnyama's younger sister. Shy and rather timid, it took quite a bit of coaxing to convince Sheshile to participate in the ritual dances and chanting. Despite being quiet, Sheshile was a steady, predictable member of the Nchi'mahadhi. She died from the plague. [Deceased]
Jini'Kekaya (???)
One of Isithunzi's daughters, Jini was returned to her father in the Pridelands because she most resembled Isithunzi. Pride born.
Waseme (Hopefolly) - Dispersed
Nsundu's second daughter who was given to Sen as a sort of alliance pact. In return, Nsundu was given one of Sen's daughters, Jun. Waseme was chosen to be the heir to Sen's pride, and will thus not be returning. Pride born.
Nsundu (Hopefolly) - Dispersed
Daughter of Mnyama and the rogue Lubisi. She was born away from her pride and thus has no idea of her heritage nor the customs of her pride. Nsundu is very self-assured and believes in everything she does, as well as something she calls "natural justice" (basically, you get what you deserve). After passing the pride onto her daughter Kitambi, Nsundu has left the pride to travel with her best friend Sen.
Hakuna (???) - Dispersed
Son of Isithunzi; left the pride to join the Dawnwalkers.
Matata (???) - Dispersed
Son of Isithunzi; left the pride to join the Dawnwalkers.
Ronan (???) - Dispersed
Son of Juke and Muujiza; left to join the Navi pride.
Kirjava (???) - Deceased
Mother of Aepep. Died of old age.
