Girls, girls, girls!
What is her name, and what does it mean?: Amali - "hope" in Swahili
What rank would you have her grow into? Why?: Guide, because it suits her personality and feeds her innate desire to be helpful while meeting new people.
Tell me a little about her personality: Amali is a cheerful, even bubbly little female. She likes to smile and to laugh, but has her moments of quiet thoughtfulness, as well. She's a 'little mommy' in personality, always trying to look after her siblings, and gets her greatest pleasure from helping others.

Let's hear it for the boys! Er.. boy!
What is his name, and what does it mean?: Kabili - "honest; brave" in Swahili
What rank would you have him grow into? Why?: Guard, because as the only male cub in his litter he'll develop a protective streak that will extend to include all others in his home.
Tell me a little about his personality: Kabili is a cub who will never tell a lie. This isn't because he's terrible at lying (even though he is), but rather because he genuinely prefers the truth at all times. He's a tough little cub, but something of a pushover to his sisters, and is often dragged into their more 'girly' activities, putting up with it with the exasperated patience that only a truly loving and devoted brother can have.

Girls, girls, girls!
What is her name, and what does it mean?: Michi: Japenese meaning Pathway
What rank would you have her grow into? Why?: Guide: She is very proud of the mountain and what her Pride has built here. It is a place of peace and a place for felines and others to come find comfort and to reconnect with their gods and she finds completion in herself being able to help them do that.
Tell me a little about her personality: Quiet, sincere, but with a heart of gold. She has compassion and just enough empathy to deal with all those who come to the shrines. Able to show levity with those who come with joy in their heart, solemness with those who come for wisdom, and gentleness with those who come with burdens far to heavy for them to carry. She all ways seems to know what to say , and seems to know when not to say anything. She loves her mountains and her Pride. There is no other place for her.

Let's hear it for the boys! Er.. boy!
What is his name, and what does it mean?: Takumi Japanese Meaning Artisan
What rank would you have him grow into? Why?: Carver: He's always had an artistic side which he credits as being a gift form the gods them selves. When he begins to carve the Shrines for them he feels the essence of that god standing beside him, guiding him and he goes into a type of trance working non stop until the vision he sees in his mind's eye is on the stone, sometimes making his paws bloody as he works his claws to the quick, but the results are always stunning.
Tell me a little about his personality: He is your typical artist. Eccentric, forgetful, driven..almost to the point of madness some days. He often relies on his siblings and other Pride members to remind him to eat, or drink, and even sleep when he is creating. When the time comes for him find a mate, they will need to be strong and steady to keep this creative genius’s paws on the ground and not in clouds.

Let's hear it for the boys! Er.. boy!
What is his name, and what does it mean?: Fidelis [Nothing, really. It's the original form of Fidel, which means 'faithful.']
What rank would you have him grow into? Why?: Guide. For the entire cub and Juv stage, he'll want to be a Carver. But he just doesn't have the talent for it. So when he reaches Adolescent, he'll give up and decide upon Guide. He picks it as a way to help open himself up to new people and cure his shyness.
Tell me a little about his personality: Timid and shy, Fidelis prefers to hide behind the legs of adults he knows than meet with those he doesn't. As a younger leopard, this is hard to shake off, but as he grows up, he'll slowly become more brave about forcing himself to take a stand. Insecure, there is a sweet male hidden beneath it all. But most people tend to take him as a cold one, with the way he doesn't strike up conversations and goes quiet most of the time.

Girls, girls, girls!
What is her name, and what does it mean?: Nemesis ['Retribution, righteous anger' in Greek]
What rank would you have her grow into? Why?: Keeper. It looks like a job one could get a good amount of alone time in while cleaning and checking over your area.
Tell me a little about her personality: Quiet and a bit anti-social, Nemesis is a little untrustworthy of newcomers and strangers. No one's sure why. She finds it difficult to open up to others. Nor does she want to. She is the only company she needs. Can get sarcastic and a bit rude if others not in her family don't leave her be. Stubbornly set in her ways, but not stubbornly determined to achieve anything in life.
