Entering for Burkuteshti Mom Name and Meaning: Kuruka bint Tai [fly eagle in Swahili] Describe Her: She was always loyal to her pride. Though she wanted to fight alongside her mate in the Battle, she knew that it would risk the lives of those in her stomach. With her cubs' father dead, she wants to make sure that they are watched over and to become one of the greatest lions that the pride has seen.
Entering for Burkuteshti Son #1 Name and Meaning: Tai sim Juksat [rising eagle in Swahili] Describe Him: He does not have much promise to fulfill to become a worthy member of the pride. He's one of those who are lazy and sly, always causing troubles within the pride.
Entering for Burkuteshti Son #2 Name and Meaning: Vita sim Juksat [rising battle] Describe Him: He's quiet, but wise. Nt much, but he does regret being born. What's the point of being a proud lion if you don't even know who your father is? He absolutely devotes his life to his mother, trying to always please her.
Entering for Dark Qyrhyeshti Name and Meaning: Fisi bint Tyrngah [Hyena's Claw] Describe Her: She prefers staying away from the pride, hence receiving her mother's rogue-like instincts. She can not trust anyone, her siblings included for they may deceive her one day. She views herself as the true leader of her siblings, always the first to do things and tends to 'disappear' at times.
Entering for Pale Qyrhyeshti Name and Meaning: Jino bint Tyrngah [Tooth and Claw] Describe Her: She hates the sun. Completely. Her view of life? Terrible. She hates her siblings, especially her mother who left her. She was her mother's favorite, after all, so why did she have to die? Every day one this desert is like death to her because of her white pelt. With the desert though, there is the blazing sunlight shining down everywhere, forcing her to fight the burns on herself. She's strong and naive, wanting to seek revenge for her mother's death.
Entering for Male Qyrhyeshti Name and Meaning: Kuteketezwa sim Joshi [Burnt Sky] Describe Him: Being the son of a rogue, he had grown the trait of roughness and cleverness. He does not mind living by himself at times as his sisters would be affected by the sun, he would not. With the heart of a rogue, he does not mind death nor his mother's death. In fact, he mocks of how weak she was to die in such a battle. He's heartless, but would be treating his to-be mate with the life of a princess.

Entering for Dark Qyrhyeshti Name and Meaning: Tülay bint Tyrngah "New Moon" Describe Her: Tülay was named for her dark fur and the beauty of the darkest night. She suits her name quiet well and is rather quiet and withdrawn. She doesn't like to show a great deal of emotion and would much prefer to follow orders than to lead others. She can often come off as cold or distant, but she truly cares about the pride and especially her siblings. She is utterly devoted to both of them and would do anything that they asked for. Tülay is loyal to a fault and rules herself with logic and discipline.
The death of her mother obviously left some emotional scars, which she constantly keeps hidden. This is why she relies so much on her siblings. Knowing that her mother died in battle makes Tülay want to prove herself as a soldier. Though the sun can be brutal on her dark fur, Tülay pushes herself to train in the hottest part of the day, building up her strength so that she can make her siblings, her pride, and the memory of her mother proud.
Entering for Burkuteshti Son #1 Name and Meaning: Altan sim Juksat "Dawn Rises" Describe Him: Altan is strong and capable, excelling at a great deal of things he tries. However, his competitive nature and short temper do not make him very popular among his peers. He cares deeply for his mother, but looks up to the spirit and memory of his father who was slain in battle. Altan has a strong exterior, but he greatly fears failure and being seen as weak. He often tries to do things beyond his skill level and age, constantly pushing himself to do more, to be better. Eventually, this is going to backfire on him.
Eventually he will fail, horribly at something, which will leave him stunned and disappointed. Somehow, he will have to push through that. As for now, he is rambunctious, impatient, playful, charismatic, and very driven.

Entering for Pale Qyrhyeshti Name and Meaning: Ipek bint Tyrngah (Silk, to describe the delicacy of her skin) Describe Her: Mention the Burkuteshti, and her skin crawls, her muscles tense and her mouth twitches with the urge to snarl. But she doesn't lose her cool. She just really, really doesn't like the Burkuteshti. She hates them for the death of her mother. She also grudgingly resents her mother for rogue breeding and leaving the family without another parent. Granted, she knows it helped to bring in rogue blood, but growing up as an orphan was very hard, and for it, she appreciates her siblings more than anything. Due to her fair skin, she tries to avoid the sun more than others, and if or when presented with the chance to go on night raids over other attacks or skirmishes. She's taken to, if available, using mud to cover her back and the top of her head as a sort of sunscreen. Maybe someday she can convince a primate to weave her a grass covering to wear and she can do more during the brightest time of the day.
It's no so much that she's some great patriot or is hoping to get revenge for the life of her mother by orphaning Burkuteshti or destroying families, but she wants to be the best she can be for her pride and her family and make a better life for her own future, and any following generations of Qyrhyeshti.

Winners! emotion_bigheart Andranis Entering for Burkuteshti MomName and Meaning: Umut bint Canan (Umut = Hope, Canan = Beloved) Describe Her: Umut is a tired lioness. Tired of the death, the fighting... All of it. She dreams of the day when there is no war between the prides, when she can encounter a Qyrhyeshti lion and not worry about if they'll kill her, or if she's around others she'll have to kill the Qyrhyeshti. She worries about the environment her sons are growing up in, always full of hate and anger. Because her sons will never know their father, she mourns almost daily, only putting on a smile for them so they don't see her sad. She could never tell them how much her heart broke the day Juksat died, and how much she wishes the war would end. Kimaria Entering for Burkuteshti Son #1 Name and Meaning: Mirrikh sim Juksat ( Death) Describe Him: This is a boy who dreams of glory in battle and of living up to the grandeur of his father's legacy. Mirrikh sim Juksat can often be heard bragging of his father's great battles and reputation to his peers - though many of these are simply conjurations of his imagination and not factual in the slightest, especially since many change and alter every time they are told. A little over-eager to prove himself, Mirrikh can often try to claim all the glory for himself during his lessons, which doesn't make him a very good team player and doesn't make him particularly popular with the other youngsters in the pride. As such he's gained a bit of a reputation for not having much substance behind his words and isn't often taken very seriously. If others laugh at him, he'll often get incredibly moody - which tends to make the laughing all the worse. But the fact of the matter is this: Mirrikh is insecure. Uncertain of himself. Desperate to try and carve himself a place in the world so that he can be the brave warrior lion that his dad might be proud of. Incredibly fond of his mother and somewhat boisterous with his brother, all he really wants is some assurance that his father would be proud of him and that someday he will reach his potential. Lilbabe808 Entering for Burkuteshti Son #2 Name and Meaning: Aqil sim Juksat (means “intelligent, wise”) Describe Him: Aqil likes to think of himself as a ladies lion. He has this idea that the ladies need to be swept off their feet in order to really love you. So he likes to play the savior for any ladies he sees in trouble that are around his age. He could be like this because he is a romantic at heart. Though he comes from a pride that constantly fights, he still has notions of sweet things in his head. Of course, just because he has this idea in his head doesn't mean he's all that great at it. The ones that don't let him be their savior or prince tend to irritate him a lot. It sometimes gets to the point where he gets so irritated that he storms off in search of a fight. When he has a clear head, he tends to think of fighting in strategic ways. He doesn't like to go in without first coming up with a plan. Chobi_Chocobo Entering for Dark Qyrhyeshti Name and Meaning: Nuwayrah (small fire) bint Tyrngah Describe Her: She's a very stubborn lioness who once she decides something there is no changing her mind. Her dark fur is a good example. Nuwayrah tends to go out in the sun despite her very dark coat and despite the fact it can be very hard on her. Some times to the point of her collapsing from heat exhaustion if she's feeling particularly cocky. Her young age mixed with her already foolish stubbornness are not the best of combinations. The death of their mother was not easy to swallow for the female. Her already hardheaded spitfire of her self mixed with the sorrow and rage of the loss of her mother has made her even more bold. Shes looking for an opportunity to fight and get some kind of revenge on her mothers attackers. Even if its just other lions from that pride and not the exact lion or lions that did the deed, she will take blood with out a second thought. Even if the sun kills her in the process, Nuwayrahs rage will be satisfied. wooga Paes Entering for Pale Qyrhyeshti Name and Meaning: Terbakar bint Tyrngah (burnt) Describe Her: Terbakar has poor eyesight. As a cub, she’d spend a lot of time in the desert, at rather bad hours. With light colored eyes, a white pelt, and a very bright sun… well, her retinas were damaged. So she’s become a somewhat cautious lioness. With so many sandy-colored lions in a desert, she is easy enough to sneak up on. This does not please her at all, but she tries not to get too worked up about it.
Terbakar once made the mistake of thinking the feud between the Qyrhyeshti and Burkuteshti was silly, and should end, having cost her own mother. Well, perhaps that wasn’t a mistake on its own, but the fact that she tried to act on it was. As a juvenile, she somehow managed to escape her caretakers during battle and ran to it, hoping to somehow stop it all. The result, of course, was total failure, and seeing (mostly hearing) the sort of things such young kids should not witness.
Having since then become disillusioned with the whole ‘peace’ idea, Terbakar has pretty much resigned to the idea that the two prides will never see eye to eye, and the world is just that miserable a place. So she’s pretty much just become the obedient girl, doing whatever is good for her pride and and expected of her. She’s cautious, and perhaps just a bit on the nervous side. She's not void of some selfishness, and it is possible she occasionally plays up her poor eyesight to get out of things.
Ameh Entering for Male Qyrhyeshti Name and Meaning: Kan sim Joshi (Kan=blood, Joshi=sky) Describe Him: Kan is a rather aloof and estranged individual, never really becoming popular amongst the orphan crowd. He even carries an air of indifference towards his sisters, not displaying any form of sympathy or pity when the sun gets too hot for their pelts. He was born the best of their litter - his natural coat for the desert was a sign, a sign that he was meant to survive out of his mother, his lost father, his disadvantaged sisters... But for what purpose? He has none, though he will become a skilled warrior, perhaps enjoying too much the pains and scars of battle. He will eventually become hot-headed, and start trying to pick fights whenever something arouses him - and that will come too often. He will thirst for action, and give not a care for however pained or broken his body may be; he lives for the moment and for himself, never letting anyone come close to connecting with him emotionally. Emotions other than anger are barriers to living, and he will live for his thirst of battle, for the victories of the Qyrhyeshti.
