TAJI

"You hold too much faith my little Taji"


Nickname: Tai

Species: Lion

Age: Young Adult

Gender: Female


Appearance:

Taji has the light cream pelt of her pride. Due to their pride inhabiting the far northern reaches of lion territory the pride had long ago isolated itself, most of the members having the light cream colour that Taji now has. Her under-belly is a lighter, almost white colour, and her fur is also quite long around her chest area. This lighter colour also features around Taji's maw and nose. She also has cheek tufts, not very long ones, but they fade into a lighter colour at the tips. Her eyes are a blue hue, however without looking carefully they can appear to be quite a dull grey. Under her eyes is a slightly darker, more brown cream colour, that extends past the end of her eye in a thin line for a short while before tapering off. Her nose is the same dark cream of her under-eye, and this is the same colour of her tail tuft and the soles of her paws. Down her neck she has longer hair that fades at the tips to the lighter cream colour.


Often she will carry a small token of her pride around on her ankle, this is a bracelet made of different shades of rope all intertwining and twisting into one another, she treasures it far more than she probably should.


Personality:

Taji, as the last born of the kings five children, has always been reasonably quiet. Her other siblings often asserted themselves over her as she was the youngest, but this never truly stopped her from developing a strong will and even though she is often afraid to say her opinion bluntly, she does try her best to make sure others know how she feels without causing conflict.

Despite her introverted characteristics, if she feels as if the world is turning against her she does tend to become hot tempered and lash out against others if she feels they are disrespecting her.

Taji tries her best to understand those around her and prefers to look to diplomacy before violence, unlike her other siblings and mother, who simply use their strong bodies to get their point across.

Taji is often left to her own, and has few friends within her pride, but the friendships she does have are very strong and she cares deeply for her friends.

From a young age her father always criticized her for being too quick to trust others, saying that although it was important to trust other, you must not trust them too quickly. She has always tried to avoid trusting too quickly form then on, but never manages to not trust them at least a little.


History:

Taji is the last born of her fathers five cubs, and despite this she has not struggled extensively during her time as a cub and has been able to develop into an intelligent, if somewhat too curious young adult.

As a cub her parents tried their best to watch over her without secluding her too much from the pride. She was no where near as strong as her brothers and sisters, which troubled the king and queen somewhat, but as she grew it came clear that her strength was in her mind, not so much her body. This put the kings mind at rest, but her mother, who values strength of body above that of the mind was still unsure.

Due to this uncertainty from her mother, Taji was sent with her eldest sister, Elewa, to practise hunting from a young age. Despite making her somewhat battered and bruised from time to time, it did in fact strengthen the young adolescent, and allowed her to stick up for herself more efficiently.

There was always the odd family argument, but on the hole the pride was a close knit one, and enjoyed a happy existence.

Although her fathers pride was small, Liaski was not worried, he could sustain the lions he had under his care and he had plenty of offspring to ensure the safety of the pride once he joined the stars in the sky.


Family:

Father: Liaski

Mother: Jarrow

Siblings: Talika(M), Elewa(F), Haro(M), Neki(M).

Extended Family: Peija (Aunt)

SEKAI


Gender: Female


Age: Young Adult


Personality:

Sekai is a fun loving lioness who enjoys to see others happy above her own happiness. She will go to great lengths to find a way to cheer up a friend if they are feeling hurt or upset. She is a very empathetic person, who has very heightened emotions, especially when a person close to her is feeling an emotion especially strongly. This can make it difficult for her when she is feeling alot of varying emotions from the people around her.

Due to her fun loving personality she can be quite immature and bouncy when put into mildly pressing matters, but as soon as the occasion becomes especially serious, she switches and becomes almost entirely straight faced and down to business.

Although she is an extrovert, Sekai copes surprisingly well under depressing conversations and situations, showing the different side of her bouncy persona.

She can be quite unknowing of what people want from her and so has some difficulties making very close friends. This is part of the reason that she has never felt like she truly had a friend. She had met many a lion that she got along with and enjoyed light hearted conversations with, but never one that would just stop to ask how she was.




She suffers from mild insomnia, but in an attempt to cure this she runs or hunts before attempting to sleep in the hope that her worn out body will let her sleep. However, because of this she is often seen quite worn out and at times with the skin beneath her eyes baggy, forming bag like folds beneath her eyes.

She is also has mild general anxiety disorder, causing her to over think alot of situations. This can sometimes clash with her out going behavior, as she suddenly realises everything that could go wrong, or effect other things she values, stopping her from blindly just jumping into something because she has an impulse that she should or that it would be fun. This also makes it difficult for her to focus on one subject, and so often appears as a scatter brain to most.

She is a very effective stalker, built for the initial chase and blow to the prey, she has high levels of stamina in speed, but making blows to the prey takes alot out of her and once the prey begins slowing down, she lets the others in the hunting party take over. Even though this is true, if the equipped with weapons to aid her, she is a much more effective.



History:

In Sekai's home land there was a respectable pride, it had a definite leader, who was young and strong. He was very capable of defending the pride. He was simply without queen, and so the whole pride was desperately trying to find the best match for him, either politically or simply the best gene wise. It was only a minor issue for the pride, but one of the kings of another pride several days walk from them offered her daughter. This made the kings mother relieved and she agreed to the betrothal, it was ideal politically, as this pride was much larger than their own, and the prides between them were much smaller than the pair or prides combined, so they hoped to be able to connect the two and take the lands between.

The king from the other pride said he would send his daughter along with a few mercenaries for protection, however he sent an army. As soon as the rival lions arrived the pride descended into chaos, the mercenaries destroyed all hand built dens and kicked the other lions from their sheltered dens, claiming them as their own. The king was slain, and the princess sent to marry him became queen.

Many of the lions in the original pride fled, or died in an attempt to take down the rival lions. None of them succeeded and the pride was left under the devastating rule of the lioness.

Sekai was one of these said soldiers, unaware at first of the evil they would be inflicting on the other pride and desperate to appease her leader she set out along with the other in their group, the princess at all times kept safe and happy.

The princess had been a normal cub, smiling and laughing like any other would. During her adolescence she was also just regular, her father made sure that she would be just like any other in the pride. She would smile often and even played with the cubs from time to time. However Sekai watched as the female developed while on the throne of the other pride, she watched as the revolting pride members, and difficult situations thrown at her turned her sour. Her smile vanished, and she barely ever left her cave. Soon she stopped responding to all issues, and left it to the mercenaries to sort out.

Sekai began to hate her, she couldn't stand the way she just dismissed everything onto another person to sort out. She wasn't the only one, others in their group began to despise her just as much, if not more than Sekai did.

They made a plan to remove her from rule and place one of the remaining pride members in charge. However to remove the queen they would have to exterminate her, and doing so would get them banished from the pride, and potentially hunted. They made a plan that would ensure it looked like the other pride revolting and put people into their roles.

Sekai was one of the few willing to die for the right of the pride, and so her role within the plan was to be assassin, she along with another lion would have the unsavoury job of killing her themselves.

The overall plan was that the mercenaries would attempt to calm the next riot, but feign to be over powered, allowing the pride members to make a fuss. This would give the assassins enough time to do their part.

Sure enough everything went to plan and the queen died. Sekai fled from the corpse willingly, though the other lion couldn't stand the idea of being without pride and stayed.

Sekai hates that she killed her ruler, but no one but her and the plotters behind the plan know, and she doesn't even know how many of them escaped the wrath of the king. She tried to forget the happenings of the assassination, but she doubts she will ever be able to forget, and just tries to get on as best she can, trying her best to make herself an enjoyable life.

His upbringing meant he was surrounded by elder siblings, and younger ones and because of his character he became a punching bag, meaning he developed a good fighting skill.

History:
As a cub Enuthu was left with his father, his mother leaving the unwanted cub with the greedy male know as Denan. His upbringing meant he was surrounded by elder siblings, and younger ones and because of his character he became a punching bag, meaning he developed a good fighting skill. As he grew things only got worse; there were several half siblings all fighting for the same throne, fighting against a king who was unwilling to retire. Enuthu kept away from his family, if that is what it was, letting it play out as day after day became more frictional and ominous. As he grew he started going for long wonders, and soon they developed in to day trips, then week, then months, he was no longer a frequent face at his birth pride, infact a rather scarcely seen face, anywhere.

Family:
His mother was a captured Lioness, he did not know of her origin only that she had him against her will, neither does he know of her or her ways, only of his father's. His father is Denan and king of his pride, he is strong and never backs down from a fight. He has many siblings, but none from the same mother. He had a difficult upbringing as his father was almost always with a new lioness, never remaining with one for long. Many of his fathers mates cast disapproving eyes upon him, he was more of an outlander then what his father was, he was golden and posses a handsome smile, Enuthu however was always reserved, he almost never smiled and was dark in colouring. He had never fit in.
