Partner 1: Annchen
Partner 2: Pearlyblue

Name for Twin 1: Iphalha (twin)
Name for Twin 2: Impinda (repeat)
Twin 1's personality: Iphalha is the more independent one of the twins, and as she grows older this desire to be her own person will also grow. She likes to sit and think about things, quietly. Her large family makes things like “quiet” and “alone” challenging so her imagination and ingenuity gets plenty of exercise.

Twin 2's personality: Impinda is a bright and happy girl with a tendency for mischief. She has a somewhat carefree attitude and cares very little for the opinion of others, though she will of course always listen to reason. She is a good girl, just sometimes a little carefree.

What kind of relationship do the Twins have with one another? (Be specific, include what they think of each other.)
Iphalha loves her sister and shares a closer bond with her than with her other siblings. However, sometimes it all gets too much, especially when Impinda can't seem to understand the importance of personal space and personal time.

Impinda thoroughly enjoys being a twin, and considers Iphahla to be a part of her own identity. She doesn't get her sister's wish for a more defined individuality and finds it nothing but natural, and kinda hilarious, when people mistake them for one another.

How do they use their appearances to their advantage? (Or why not?)
Impinda loves to confuse others about which sister is which, and frequently tries to entice Iphahla to participate in games designed to do just that. Guessing games (what's my name?), switcharoos, mirror movements, anything goes. She finds their similarity an endless source of amusement (and to some degree, comfort), and that won't change much as she grows up.

Iphalha humours her sister and her games, but she is more comfortable trying to fool lions outside of the immediate family. Her heart breaks a little when a sibling (or even worse - their mother) mistakes one of them for the other. As she grows older she will absolutely refuse to take part in these games, and will try to find ways to express herself and make herself different in appearance from her sister.

Do they have any other similarities? How do they differ? (Hobbies, opinions, ideas, ect.)
They both love their family, their pride and each other, and they both show great promise as huntresses, especially when together, but their personalities differ enough to create some interesting conflicts between the two in the future....
Iphalha is more sensitive than her sister, and sometimes takes things personally even if they were never meant that way.

Hilarious plot idea: Iphalha freaking out completely if they manage to get pregnant with the same Umholi. You know... It could happen. In this pride it might even be very likely xd

Partner 1: Tanakako
Partner 2: ChezaRain

Name for Twin 1: Dania ('love one another’)
Name for Twin 2: Kania (‘contentment')
Twin 1's personality: Sweet and shy, Dania is a kind and loving little girl. A little quiet sometimes, she can easily fade into the background in a group of other cubs, but when her twin is around, the pair of them stand out without even meaning to. Dania adores having a twin sister. Kania is her rock, the buffer zone between Dania and the rest of the pride. If anything worries or scares Dania, Kania always seems to make it less important somehow... The first time Dania tried to learn how to hunt she made a total mss of it, but Kania was there, messing up right along side her and somehow, seeing her amazing, bold and brash twin doing just as badly as her makes Dania less self conscious. Sometimes it seems she can do anything so long as Kania is at her side. She will grow into a kind and gentle lioness who adores her family and is completely dedicated to her pride.
Twin 2's personality: Kania is very much the outgoing, hot-headed little girl, counterbalancing her sister's sweet side. She excels at most things, but she's been known to hold back when she sees Dania struggling, wanting her twin to feel on equal terms with her and not bothered by the idea of limiting herself. When she's at her limit as far as being angry, she can count on Dania to calm her down the fastest way possible, and easily cheering her up again. As she ages, Kania is going to be sarcastic and witty and somewhat boyish, but mess with her family and her angry side shows. They mean the world to her, and no one would be allowed near if Kania finds out they have evil intentions.

What kind of relationship do the Twins have with one another? The twins often seem as if one mind has been split and put into two separate bodies. One will start a sentence and her twin will finish it without even a pause between them. They often cause confusion with their surround-sound style conversations, befuddling the listener and often distracting the adults from whatever task they were attending to, be it a hunting lesson or telling the twins off. They also appear to know where each other is at any given moment and are highly empathetic to each other’s emotions. Yet what everyone else assumes is a mental link is actually based on a system of twitches and sounds that mean certain things, but only to the twins. Giving them almost their own subtle language through which many a cubbish plan was communicated under their minders noses. This secondary language is almost totally instinctive to them both, so even Kania, the more independent twin, can’t help but respond to it automatically.

How do they use their appearances to their advantage?
They often masquerade as each other around the pride, Kania will pretend to be Dania for a hunting lesson so her less adept twin doesn’t have to embarrass herself in front of the other cubs.. and Dania often sits in for Kania when it comes to herb lore or other more mindful lessons where patience and calmness matter. If one is feeling unwell, the other will take her place, the pair cover for each other instinctively, not even realising it is their deep bond that makes them take comfort from each other more so than most cubs do with siblings.

Do they have any other similarities? How do they differ?
They both tend to like the same things but in variety. A good example, they both like flowers, but Dania prefers pale, tiny ones and Kania prefers the bold, big ones. They both obviously feel the same way about their pride, being born into it and not knowing anything else, they take the pride rules and traditions very seriously and will be full, dedicated members when they grew up.



*edit: Alternate names if required.
Meria- rebellious (Cheza's)
Raziya- agreeable (Tan's)

Partner 1: Boudaihobbit
Partner 2: Ileata

Name for Twin 1: Suhaila
Name for Twin 2: Kannella
Twin 1's personality: Suhaila is a confident girl that can be too clever for her own good. She is a quick thinker and can readily find solutions to get her and her sister out of any trouble they may come across. Outspoken with a strong sense justice, Suhaila will not hesitate to call out those that she believes are wrong or to defend herself and her sister. Fearless from birth, nothing will knock this girl down easily and she will protect those that she loves at most any cost to herself.

Suhaila holds true to what she believes in and is not easily influenced by anyone other than her family and those close to her. Even though she loves being around her sister, she has an independent streak that will occasionally take her off on her own, but she always return's to her sister's side. Suhaila has an uncanny ability to read into her sister's behavior and know if there's a problem with her twin, she can usually be found somewhere not far from Kannella.

Twin 2's personality:Shy and sweet Kannella generally stay's in the same general area as her twin. She loves all of her family but prefers being with her twin over anyone else. She enjoys the night time preferring the quiet and cool air to the heat of the day. She does not like getting in trouble though she does sometimes, she just doesn't take authority figure's being angry at her well, and does not stand up for herself very well at all. She tends to be a push over if you are trying to get her to do anything.

She enjoy's playing with her sister as long as they are in someplace safe. Kannella has a bit of dependency on her family preferring to stay around her twin though she is fine with her sister leaving for short amount's of time she knows her sister will always come back to her. Kannella is partially blind which is what causes her dependency on her family though the blindness is not enough at the moment to cause much of a problem she fear's that it will get worse as she her vision fades out completely sometimes only to come back a few moments later.

Kannella generally doesn't speak much when around strangers, unless she is specifically spoken to and the answer would be less than four words she say's nothing staying quiet and still. Around her family however she is a bit more talkative getting out up to two or three sentence's in an answer and speaking out when she feel's something is important.

What kind of relationship do the Twins have with one another? Kannella and Suhaila can simply be described as being two halves of a whole. They have been innately tuned to one another since birth, and they know each other better than anyone else. One will rarely be seen without the other and they excel at anything that involves them thinking together. Suhaila and Kannella complement each other, often seeming like opposites and mirrors at the same time.

Suhaila loves her sister more than anything and would do anything for her. Even though her adventurous streak causes her to wander, she never leaves her sister anywhere by herself or where there might be trouble. She isn't one to be inclined to be mean to her siblings just because they're her siblings, especially Kannella. Suhaila has a strong spirit but she keeps the deepest parts of her heart to herself, and sometimes Kannella will be the only one that knows how she really feels.

Kannella finds her sister the most amazing person in her family. She absolutely adores her sister and loves her fiercely. She will always waits for her sister to come back to her no matter what. She knows she is well loved and cared for by her family but she stay's closest to Suhaila. No matter what she will always be there to lend an ear to her sister, never betraying her thoughts to anyone else. She knows the same will be allowed to her as well as she will only show her sadness and fear to her sister otherwise she always appears calm and happy.

How do they use their appearances to their advantage? (Or why not?)
The twins definitely use their appearances to their advantage. As Kannella is generally thought weaker of the two due to her blindness, the truth is quite different. Her other senses make up for this helping her in any sort of fight they get into causing people to think she is her sister, as well as Suhalia pretending that she is the blind one, when they are together it I hard to tell them apart as both of them will act the same when around other keeping their group tight knit and close.

Do they have any other similarities? How do they differ? (Hobbies, opinions, ideas, ect.)
If there's one thing that both sisters enjoy while they're young, it's playtime. Kannella and Suhaila love to create games to play with each other or with their siblings. While Suhaila will be more of a thrill seeker in her games, Kannella prefers the insurance of safety. Otherwise, Suhaila enjoys being under the rays of the sun during the day, but Kannella enjoys being under the light of the moon during the night. As she gets older, Suhaila will begin to follow the lioness Bẹ̀rù and her ideals. It is uncertain whether Kannella will follow suit.

Wow.

Judging these entries and trying to pick just one was incredibly difficult! There wasn't a single one I didn't like, so thank you everyone, for making your concepts for the twins absolutely amazing. <3

I have come to a decision though, after much agonizing and re-re-re-reading of every entry. Without further ado, congratulations to Tanakako and ChezaRain, you have won the twins.

Again, thank you everyone, and if I could I'd make you all winners. xD;
