Wicka

[Fahrenheit]

Name: Wicka
Species: Lion
Age: Cub
Gender: Female

Description:
Wicka's more on the smaller side, quite the tiny thing, but don't underestimate her. She's tiny, but she's strong. Her fur is a light orangey-yellow with a paler cream belly, which rises up her neck on onto her face. She has a long tail with a tuft of the same cream fur, and her eyes are a pale lilac color.

Behaviour:
Wicka is a spirited little cub, full of adventure and curiosity. She can be a bit shy when first approached, but opens up and blossoms quite easily. She's cheerful and warm, and on the optimistic side, tending to try to find the best of each situation. She's got a great sense of humor too, and can easily be found cracking jokes or playing pranks. Pranks are definitely something of her expertise, and she can be a devilouse little thing under her sweet demeanor, so don't let her fool you. She's a real trickster Wicka is extremely good at fooling others and is quite the little actress, and a very good on-the-spot liar. If you think she's up to something and try to confront her, or accuse her of something, you'll probably get a plate full of innocence and convincing lies thrown at you, so you should be prepared. She's quite intelligent and clever. Wicka is also incredibly stubborn and hard-headed, and once she has her mind set on something, she'll do it, being the incredibly impulsive cub she is. When told no, she'll demand reasoning behind this, and rarely accepts being denied of something she wants to do. And this isn't do much being spoiled or bratty so much as being plan stubborn. Sometimes she will throw away any common sense and do extremely risky things, unfortunately. She has a courage that can easily be matched by foolishness and pride. She has a tendancy of being incredibly spontaneous and unpredictable, also. Wicka enjoys fooling around and not taking things seriously; work isn't exactly up her alley, and when forced to do something you can easily expect quite a bit of complaining. She also has an unhealthy amount of curiosity, or nosiness as some might call it, and is a big snoop. Wicka also is pretty well known for being a bit cocky and proud, though she's not overly obnoxious or bad because of this. She's also incredibly bold and witty, bad at holding her sharp, sarcastic tongue.

Wicka's a fan of adventure like any cub, and with her undying curiosity and desire to learn new things, it's no surprise. She's also quite the troublemaker, enjoying pulling pranks and tricks, which are mostly mild, though there have been some that have gotten slightly out of hand. She also enjoys winning and being right, and her slightly-*** nature just makes this more prominent. She's a big fan of running and will often challenge others to races, even if she's bound to lose. She likes compliments and anything that will boost her morale. And her day gets a little better of it involved one of the basic things that she likes, which includes thunderstorms, sleeping, and adventures, to name a few.

Naturally, there are things that she hates to balance out her pleasures. She hates being told no or denied of something she wants to do, which goes hand in had with hating being forced to do something that she doesn't want to do. She hates getting in to trouble lettering caught, and won't hesitate to lie to save her pelt. She hates losing r being wrong/corrected, as any of those things will immediately send her into a bad mood for the rest of the day. And she despises being made a fool of.

History:
Before we can get into Wicka's history, which is rather short and virtually uneventful, we really need to start with her parents history. Her mother Karliah was born and raised as a loner, residing with her parents and two brothers until the age of three. Then she and her brother's went off on their own, each going a separate way: Karliah towards the Pridelands, her eldest brother Shinto heading towards the Shadowlands, and her youngest brother Seto taking off in the grasslands. Karliah did not come in contact with Shinto ever again, and whether he still lives or not is unknown to her. Her other brother Seto, however, does come back into the story. 

Karliah managed quite well on her own. She delicately avoided the pride and most other lion, living near the gorge. She was a good hunter and a good fighter, so she did quite well. She also rarely came in contact with others of her species. One early summer morning, however, things changed. Karliah had been hunting some antelope and was ready to catch her breakfast when another lion leapt out at them first, taking one down and scattering the rest. She approached this lion, though she was irritated. That had been her breakfast. The lion was a cocky one and aggravated Karliah down to her last nerve. Apparently he was also a loner with a similar story to Karliahs. And he was also, according to him, "the best hunter in all of Africa, and the fastest, too." She warned him to stay away from her and stalked away angrily.

Unfortunately, he didn't obey her orders. She seemed to have caught his interest, for he didn't leave her alone. Instead, at any hour of the day and sometimes might she would feel his amber eyes boring into her. And at first she ignored him. But after quite a bit of time passed, she got irritated and confronted him, demanding to know why he was watching her. He had answered, telling her that he found her fascinating. Karliah returned his compliment with an angry glare and a threat that, should she see him again, she would tear out his throat. And left it at that. 

But that didn't happen. He kept shown up more frequently, and would even come up to her sometimes and start talking to her, or bring her food when she caught none. "Oh, and what's your name? I'm Sefu." she finally replied, "Karliah." 

This went on for quite a while. And slowly his visits became more frequent, ad her irritation towards it started to fade. He was becoming a friend. And then more. And soon enough they were spending all their time together. Funny, really, how someone who irritated her so much became her loved one. But odd things happen, right?

Soon enough Karliah was expecting cubs. She had never really had plans on having a family, espacially not with Sefu. Yet here she was. A couple weeks into her pregnancy another unexpected visitor came into her life. She had been sleeping when Sefu shook her awake, saying that there was a lion there who wanted to speak to her. To her surprise, it was Seto. Out of the three of them, Seto had been the weakest and probably most innocent sibling. She had, horribly enough, assumed that he would be unable to make it on his own. Yet here he was, perfectly healthy. He told her that there had been a fire where he had made his home, and that he had nowhere to go. He begged her to let him stay with her and Sefu. Of course, Karliah said yes. So the three of them, Karliah, Sefu, and Seto lived together.

Until, of course, Karliah gave birth. She had two cubs, two females. She named the first born cub Esi and the last born Wicka. So here's where Wicka comes into the story. The group of lions were now a group of five, too big to stay on the pride's land without being noticed. They moved out, across the border and into a pleasant little area where they thrived. The family was quite a nice one, and perfectly content. Everything was swell, and they were all lving life happily. It seemed as though nothing bad could happen.

Of course, in these times life has an uncanny way of screwing with you. it was around the age of six months that Wicka woke to find that only her and her mother were at home. Wicka's father, uncle, and older sister were no where to be found. Even her mother, who was especially good at tracking, couldn't find them anywhere. There were no signs of where they were or that there had been a struggle. It was a truly puzzling predicament. And it was rather devastating, too. Her mother wanted to go out and look for her missing family members. But with Wicka, she couldn't. And slowly her mother became more and more depressed, to the point of which she could no longer care for Wicka. So what was the wisest thing to do in the situation?

Karliah brought Wicka to the pride that lived close by and asked them to take Wicka in. They agreed, and she said farewell to Wicka before setting out in the hopes of finding her missing family.
