Mazunguko will be having an important celebration, the Firefly Festival. The event started years ago, when the king, Nahasi and one of his councilpersons needed to come up with a solution for their firefly problem. Once every year, the firefly catchers release fireflies in the main chamber of Mazu. Most pride members attend the celebration. This year Nahasi has an imporant announcement to make, one that will come at the end of the celebration.

To start off the celebration, we are having a give away. There will be 6 SoAs given away, all of these character must remain in the pride, unless the pride disbands or if their is a meta plot reason for the character to leave (one of the pride owners will message you if there is a meta reason for your characters leaving. You will, of course have the final say in this, we will not force your character to leave the pride)

Rules

1. Follow the rules SoA has set, along with the gaia ToS
2. Stay in the pride (unless meta plot reasons or the pride disbands)
3. We will be having an orp in the future and we would love if these characters would be part of it. However, the orp and the future meta will not be for some time. So if you do win it is alright to go ahead and get your character a JRP (both Club Snails and Innocent-Hybrid will be open for JRPs)
4. You can only get one SoA from this event.
5. For the prompt character, if not enough people enter it we will add some days or postpone that part of the contest.

Side note: Mazunguko is open to characters of any sexual preference.

This boy looks familiar

One day this leopard showed up to the pride. Some members started to whisper about him and his similarities to the council member Ijara. Ijara has never met this leopard in his life. How does this leopard react to so many of the pride members thinking he must have some sort of connection to Ijara? And what exactly is this relationship? (It should be noted that Ijara was born inside the pride and was the only one born in his litter. Both his parents are deceased. It would be possible for him to have an older half-brother though)

((If you have any questions or want more details, feel free to PM Innocent_Hybrid, Ijara's owner.))

[Since we can only win one, my preference would be this male then the raffle boy XD.]

Name: Iregi
Meaning: Rebellious
Personality: Foreward
Relationship: Half-Brother
Back Story: Iregi was the sole child to Shakra and as far as he knew his father wasn't in the picture and never would be. When he tried to bring it up with her on rare occasions she would just switch the subject. Perhaps she was bitter about how the whole thing went down? Life for a single mother and a growing cub had been quite the hardship and he had to learn fast in order to survive. He had never been schooled in pleasantries so he always just spoke his mind and it seemed to get the job done so he never thought to do any different.
As he got older his curiosity for his "absent" father was still in the back of his mind and it seemed a twisted form of fate would give him the direction he needed.
He was curious and he wanted to know. She had been pushing of the subject for so long and he had a right to know, he deserved to know and he wanted to get an answer this time. "Why can't you just tell me and stop being so stubborn Mother!" His tail lashed wildly as he stood before demanding to be told. He watched as she smiled and shook her head and that just got him even more agitated.
"Why do you wish to know about a Male that didn't stick around long enough to see you born? To get to know his son? You are better left without the hopes of seeking him out hoping he would open his arms welcoming his "long lost son"." She was tired of these games with him and she wished he would just give up hope. She couldn't bear to know that if he sought him out, hoping that he would have a father only to get turned away like he was nothing. It broke her heart to think of it and she would not be able to bear it if it came to pass.
"I have a right to know! Let me make my own decision on this!" He planted his foot firmly as he spoke and as he watched her shake her head and turn away he huffed and sauntered away in the other direction. Why couldn't she just answer him? Would it be so hard for her to do? He just wanted to know a name, or even a general location. He felt it should at least be given that much. Instead she wanted to treat him like a child.
After thinking about it for an hour or so he decided he'd find her and tell her that perhaps she was right. Perhaps he should just let it go, however it seemed things were about to change.
He was focusing on how to tell her that it took him a second to realize what had happened in his short absence. There had been some sort of a fight and he could only imagine who's blood it was that covered the ground and he realized with a sinking feeling that it was probably his mom. "Mother?!" He shouted not thinking that the possible perpetrators might still be nearby. At this point he didn't care. He dashed over to where they normally spent the night and it was there he found her horribly hurt and a dead hyena nearby. He rushed over to her and laid beside her and felt her stir. "I'm sorry Mother, I shouldn't have left like that. If-" She cut him short.
"It's not your fault.." Her breathing was labored and she was beginning to stop feeling the pain and she knew that she was going to die soon. "Head east..."Her voice was fading her.
He felt his heart aching as he knew she was dying and as her voice was beginning to fade he leaned in so he could her what she was trying to tell him. She whispered a name and he felt her go still and he realized she was gone. Not wanting to leave her in the open to be torn apart by animals he moved her close to the rocks and covered her body in them and headed in the direction she had given him, looking for a name.
----
Since he had arrived at the brotherhood he kept wondering who this Ijara was that everyone kept saying he looked like. The location had been successful, but it seemed no one by the name he was looking for was still alive. He did a little digging and had found out there had been another cub with the male and he was curious if this Ijara was it. The fact that everyone was staring and whispering was quit bothersome so he figured he'd remedy it so the gossip could stop. "Please, Stop whispering and just tell me where I can find this Ijara so we can meet and the gossip can end. I'm just here to find some answers." He hated when others couldn't just come up to you these days. They had to gossip to their friends, who wants to talk to a stranger afterall? Perhaps someone would come forth and lead him to the person they all said he looked like. However, if these "rumors" they were saying where true and it was possible that his Cub was born to the same father as he, then Ijara would in turn look like him, not the other way around. Hmmm. The possibility of a baby brother eh? He had never thought of having any family besides his mother, so this opened new possibilities for him. however, they were estranged so the Gods only knew how this would turn out if they were, in fact, related by some miracle.
