This is Umlotha. Umlotha is, at a glance, your ideal Boneland lioness. She's big, she's strong, she's got a dark pelt, and she's got a crafty mind in that large head. That is, unfortunately, where the Boneland qualities end. Umlotha likes to have all eyes on her no matter the reason, she loves to stir up trouble and be the subject of the gossip that goes around the pride. It makes her grin when she walks through a crowd of her fellow lionesses and they whisper about her. Rogue fling? Bring it on. Crazy color schemes for pelts? She loves it. Her Seer abilities are used to her great advantage, especially since she can trigger them into happening through various means. The only thing that could make her more happy would be to rise to the position of Umama, but to do that she needs...ugh...friends. Or at the very least acquaintances.

That is where these lionesses come in. These three lionesses will be the beginning of her little group. They will back her no matter what and will stand by her and her rank. Umlotha will encourage them to be different, to stand out, and to follow in her paw prints in terms of rocking the boat and being the reason for the other lioness' scowls.

Rules

1. These lionesses must stay within the Bonelands.
2. They will have the rank of Umzingeli or Busisa. Umzingeli means they were born-in, Busisa means they joined up on their own accord.
3. They don't have to be best friends with Umlotha but at least must agree with her outlandish views and must be willing to stand by her should others question her rank.
4. All edits are not able to pass down to their offspring.

Entering for the Grey Girl
SoA Name: Amakhaza
Name Meaning: 'cold' in zulu
Desired Rank: Umzingeli
Personality: As cold as her icy winter pelt. Hazi is about as anti-social as it is possible to be within such a large pride. She dislikes idiots, fools and gossips. She resents the fact that she was born into such a place where she is just one small part of the whole. Not that she particularly wants to be an individual or to be acknoladged. But it is the fact that she has to interact on a daily basis with other lions that riles her so badly. She would strike off on her own as a rogue if not for the fact that she is terrified of actually being alone. For this antisocial, bad tempered female is agoraphobic.
History: Nothing remarkable has happened to this lioness. Born to a pride lioness, her sire was a short-lived Inselelo. Hazi had a normal upbringing. Her personality was apparent early on but it was only as she grew older that her agoraphobia came to light. There doesn't appear to be a trigger behind her problem, or at least, no single incident that she can remember.
Why would she support Umlotha?: Umlotha can easily win her support simply by promising to be near by without forcing interaction onto Amakhaza.

Entering for the Brown Girl
SoA Name: Isobana
Name Meaning: Iso (eye) -bana (see) (reference)
Desired Rank: Busisa
Personality: Despite Isobana being an "adult" she is still a young one, and could be described as damaged. Never the less, she aims to better her life by the choices that she makes. After going on her own, she sought out a pride that could provide her with security, family, and instruct her on how to be a truly powerful lioness. She strives for strength, understanding, and wisdom. Of course, she also has the "street smarts" from being raised by a lunatic, rogue mother. She prides herself in being able to read others, and listens to her instincts above all else.
History: Isobana was the last of her siblings to abandon their mother, on the day that she gave Iso the scar on her face. Iso's mother often saw things that weren't there, and had swings in temperament that were dangerous if you were the wrong lion in the wrong spot. Despite her problems, Isobana felt obligated to help their mother survive, until the last moon when Isobana's mother attacked her for being insolent. She couldn't do it anymore, and left with bleeding streaks across her face, never looking back.
Why would she support Umlotha?: Isobana knows that she would be unable to show up to a pride and simply be accepted. Instead, she befriended a lioness that was already in the pride. Isobana may not agree with all of Umlotha's choices, but loyalty is a non-issue for Iso after spending the time she did with her mother. She would support Umlotha's eccentrics (which she doesn't actually mind, for the most part), but doesn't fall into the security that Umlotha actually cares for her. She expects Umlotha finds Iso an attractive friend because, eventually, the rest of the pride will know her whole story and that will give plenty of gossip for Umlotha's attention hoarding ways.

Entering for the Red Girl
SoA Name: Somlilo
Name Meaning: Firey
Desired Rank: Umzingeli
Personality: Somlilo has energy to say the least. She is a spirt fire who doesn't always see eye to eye with the way the pride is run. That being said she loves her home and the ladies she makes friends with.
History: Somlilo was raised by a traditional mother. She was raised to be a good girl, a obedient girl. Unfortunately none of those lessons held. As she grew older she was drawn to other out spoken females. Through time she ended up joining Umlotha and her group.
Why would she support Umlotha?: She 100% agrees with Umlotha's view point of life.
How many BL lions do you own?: 4 (3 girls and a boy)

Entering for the Red Girl
SoA Name: Umyeni
Name Meaning: Husband
Desired Rank: Busisa
Personality: Umyeni is a warrior by design, ready to fight and defend at all costs. She’s strong and large, and ready to take action at a moment’s notice. Even so, she has somewhat of a softness to her and can be incredibly affectionate. That said, she’s a bit of a flirt and will hit on any lady who’s receptive to it.
History: Umyeni was born a shy girl by the name of Uuku in the rogue lands to a single mother. The pair stuck together for a long while, Uuku learning from her mother as they travelled. However, in Uuku’s adolescence, the pair were attacked and Uuku’s mother perished from her wounds. Uuku renamed herself, travelling alone and learning to fight. Finally, she happened upon the bonelands. She sought out the safety that numbers brought, but she’d never forget the lessons life taught her.
Why would she support Umlotha?: She’s a bit unconventional for the Bonelands, and she doesn’t quite mind that, though she’d still like to fit in some place.
How many BL lions do you own?: 1~

Entering for the Red Girl
SoA Name: Itshana
Name Meaning: Small Stone, part of the Zulu phrase for precious stone (jewel)
Desired Rank: Umzingeli (retired Enda)
Personality: A quiet lioness who often struggles to feel at home while at home. She is an all around capable lioness, excelling at hunting (owing to much solo experience) and so fitting in fairly well despite herself. She has opinions she doesn’t often share and doesn’t mind at all letting stronger personalities lead-- to a point. She would never do anything openly hostile or potentially dangerous for the pride.
History: A born Bonelands lioness, Itshana never really felt she fit in very well. Her birth predated the alliance with the Firekin and her coloration had always been distinctive.. and even today she knows it doesn’t quite match up with the ideal sort of reds and oranges. This became her primary motivation in seeking to become one of the very few female Aenda. She would stay connected to her home, her family.. but she would have more freedom to roam where she didn’t stand out quite so much. (Unfortunately for her, one lesson she learned abroad was that Firekin history and reputation has affected the perception of red fur in many places). She only returned to the pride to stay when her vulture companion passed away, but she still wears her feathers.
Why would she support Umlotha?: Umlotha is the strong personality and the physical ideal that Itshana could only aspire to. She will vehemently deny that the fondness for brightly colored fur has anything to do with it (but.. come on..)
How many BL lions do you own?: 2

(( I know Aenda are special event only.. if it's not OK to use as part of proposed history then disregard me xD ))
