Name: AWITI
-- Means "thrown away" in Luo.
Nicknames: "Witty"
Age: Cub (6 Months)
Appearance: fav.me/d8266cd
Personality:
A very calm and collected cub, who analyses every situation she comes across. She tries to be careful about what she says, though sometimes it's hard to control what you say and more often than not she'll end up saying something that should have been kept to herself. Her blunt nature may offend some of the sensitive ones. She prefers the company of more mature lions, though she will still play with other cubs if asked. Witty will almost always wait for someone to approach her, rather than going up to someone and starting a conversation or asking them to play. She finds it very hard to approach strangers, though she will quickly open up to the right people.
She's not a very smiley child, nor very bubbly and girly, but she's not one to say no to a bit of harmless fun, either. Her favourite things to do are climbing, and chasing butterflies and other small critters. She will try her best to avoid situations that will make her too dirty, and will try her best to steer clear of mud and water. This is mostly because her mother is very rough when it comes to baths, and she does not enjoy it one bit. It is also partly because she is scared of what might be lurking in the unseen depths of the water due to a past experience when she was very young.
Abilities: Strategic minded, full of tact and knowledge.
Weaknesses: Physically weak and slow in movement.
History:
The illicit child between a foreign queen and her guard. When the king, her mate, found out what had happened, the queen panicked and blamed the guard for seducing her. The furious king exiled the male and swore to kill him if he ever set foot on his land again. As for the cub, he ruled for it to be executed at birth, despite the pain he knew it would cause his partner. The day of birth grew near, and the queen grew more and more anxious. She knew that if she gave birth in her own land the child would surely die, so she rose well before the sun on the day of birth and fled to the nearest pride she knew of.
She traveled as far north as she could before the cub came, running deep into foreign lands until she came across a familiar watering hole. She recognized it from previous trips with the king to other prides. There was no time to think, she had already began to enter into labor, and the sun had begun to peek over the horizon. She lay by the bank of the watering hole and gave birth. She barely managed to clean the cub before she heard unfamiliar voices approaching. She lay the newborn cub by the bank and retreated into the tall grass.
There, she decided to leave her cub in hopes that she may be adopted into another family and have a chance at life. When she returned the king had only just begun to wake up. With tears in her eyes, she told her king the most difficult lie any mother could even think of saying: her cub had died at birth. Meanwhile, back at the watering hole where she had left her daughter, a newborn cub was given a new chance at life.
