Owner's Name: ABVirus
Lion's Name/Image: Ezinothuzi
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: n/a
Brief Personality: Happy-go-lucky almost to a foolish state, Ezino is not quite intelligent. She is content to hunt with others and dreams of having a happy family life, but she is not ambitious and is rarely found wanting more. She's not dumb, per say, but she is very simple.
Brief History: Her mother was not a family lioness, but she was not cruel either. She taught her single cub how to hunt and when she grew her mother sent her on the path towards the Bonelands to live among others. She had another name, the one that her mother gave her, but once she was found by the lionesses they changed her bane to Ezinothuzi after her markings. It may have been meant as a mean joke, but Ezino took it with a pride and felt acceptance in gaining a name within the pride.

Lion's Name/Image: Yithemba
Desired Rank: Umzingeli
Basic Info: --
Brief Personality: Fiery and determined perhaps beyond what would e good for her, Yi is an overly optimistic lioness who seems to think herself invincible.
Brief History: Yi's mother was an unspectacular Busisa who had one litter to her name before passing away in an equally unspectacular fashion. Yi was the only cub in the lioness' only litter, leading her to be the only remaining member of her family. Fueled by her downer of a mom (who named her only daughter the zulu word for "despair") and her desire to leave behind the legacy of her mother and name, Yi desires to achieve greatness and prove herself to the rest of her pride. She's yet to do anything up to her standard of amazing.

Joining Up!
Owner's Name: SilverLutz
Lion's Name/Image: Nur bint Yetki
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: N/A
Brief Personality: Nur is a battle-hardened lady and doesn't let others speak down to her. She's as quick to fight with her claws and teeth as she is with her words if you wrong her. She has a thirst for battle as any in her pride would and finds great joy in beating the rival pride lions into a pulp. She is quite proud of her scars and will be the first to charge into an unfair fight. Her confidence is a bit obnoxious to some, but incredibly attractive to others. Can you keep up?
Brief History: Came with her old pride under the promise of being welcomed into the pride! Some hiccups along the way but now she here.  

[Tanakako]

Joining Up!
Owner's Name: Tanakako
Lion's Name/Image: Amakhaza
Desired Rank: Umzingeli
Basic Info: n/a
Brief 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 acknowledged. 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.
Brief 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.

Owner's Name: Schicksalswende
Lion's Name/Image: Ngesineke
Desired Rank: Busisa
Brief Personality: Patient like a Saint, humble and likes to look at the bigger picture.
Brief History: Moderately capable of surviving the Roguelands, but the constant loneliness eats away at her. Even if she isn't the more sociable lioness ( until she warms up to you ), it brings her a sense of peace and companionship just to hear or feel the company of others around her.

Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info:
Brief Personality: Quiet and demure Sef toes the line of the pride well. Happy to do what she is told and be the perfect female.

Lion's Name/Image: Kazi
Desired Rank: n/a
Basic Info: Becoming Amakhaza's companion
Brief Personality: He tries not to be bitter about the accident that robbed him of his ability to fly. The fact that he is now stuck with a grumpy lioness on top of that is like rubbing salt in old wounds. But he is determined to make the best of the situation.
Brief History: Having been expecting to be the companion of a Cinga or an Enda since he was a chick, the accident and subsequent broken wing were a huge disapointment. Now only able to get around with extremely limited mobility, Kazi was introduced to Amakhaza by the Cinga Ilanga and her vulture companion Idla after the pair realised Amakhaza may benifit from a companion to help with her Agoraphobia. He is now the Umzingeli's companion/aide and is rarely far from her side.

Joining Up!
Owner's Name: Andranis
Lion's Name/Image: Phikelela (Formerly Jin)
Desired Rank: Cinga - Ukumelana will be her vulture partner, and here is an RP with them both!
Basic Info: N/A
Brief Personality: Accepting of everybody, Lela has few prejudices based on one's colors or even seer abilities. The Jini she knew were rather welcoming... So long as you didn't have non-lion blood in you. She can't say she's ever met a hybrid or hybrid-blooded lion in her time in the roguelands, though, even in passing, she's only heard about them.
Brief History: Jin came from the Jini'msemi, originally - She was born after the pride's move to the mountain, and up until her name quest, it was the only home she knew. Her cubhood was typical, with a loving single mother who eventually sent Jin and her siblings off into the world for their name quests when they became adolescents. When Lela returned, though.. She found nobody. The pride had disbanded, the result of the rockslide that finally drove them away. So she returned to wandering.

And then she met a vulture, Ukumelana, and formed a bond with the bird. She spoke to Lela of a pride of lions that migrated between points within their land, somewhat like the Ela'wadiyi that Lela had called neighbors for so long, but with much fewer males and mostly made of lionesses, many related. It intrigued her, and she eventually went toward the Ithambo. If Lana trusted this lions, then Jin decided, maybe she could, too. She learned as much from Lana as she could before the vulture departed back for home, and when she arrived, went by a new name, as befitting her past with the Jini'msemi - Phikelela, persevere.
