Stormy Girl
Username: mouselet
Name: Mvua Kubwa (Swahili, rainstorm)
Rank Wanted: Inqina
Personality: Mvua Kubwa is highly curious, though shy. If she can get up the courage to open her mouth and ask a single question, it will open the floodgates for hundreds more. But when around strangers whom she is unsure of, the lioness will simply sit quiet and listen to everything, as she was taught.
History: Mvua was born and raised in a small pride that constantly feared invasion. Her earliest memories are of her mother impatiently hushing her and her siblings. Always silence was prized before all else. This was difficult for little Mvua Kubwa who always was interested in the variety of sounds in the world, and how she could combine them to make new ones. Her family admitted that noise was important, but only so long as she herself remained silent and learned to interpret what she heard, that she wouldn't be caught unawares by some enemy.
When she was just past adolescence, their pride was found out by their enemies. Mvua had never run so far or so fast in her life and she feared she wouldn't get far enough away from them.
Relationship with Travelers: The young lion managed to run right into the travelers bound for the Nchi - literally, she crashed right into one of the males leading the group. They welcomed her with open arms and managed to reassure her that they weren't enemies. Gradually, Mvua relaxed. But it wasn't until they had stopped for the night that she received a shock. One lion opened his mouth and began to make noise! Not just any noise either, but he used a well modulated tone to tell a story in a manner that she had never heard before. Mvua's old interest in sounds and different ways to make them returned full-force and as she learned more about her new friends and their journey, she became determined to go with them to the Nchi. That pride seemed like a dream come true.
Plot Ideas: Mvua will be curious about every noise and music-making technique known to the Nchi! It doesn't matter to her whether she's good at any of them, she will go up to anyone and everyone asking to watch and learn. In the meantime, she'll hunt for the pride, as a way to give something back to the wonder she's found in them. She'll likely take a mate born to the pride and settle down at some point.
Got my Panya for Tal's wild dog breeding. ^^;

I'm entering for the Tribal girl!
Username: F a y t h - x
Name: Tahani (meaning Sprig, like a small shoot of a plant)
Rank Wanted: Ohlobo Olunesithunzi, or in case that's not doable, Wanyapara.
Personality: Tahani is a level-headed lioness who doesn't share much about herself with anyone. Some might view her as a little stand-offish to those she doesn't know well, but truth is she is more like a protective mother hen those she cares about. Tahani is not really free with her emotions, and so it is hard to tell if she likes you or not, or to get words of praise or even criticism. Tahani is also a very wise lioness and will supply an ear and advise for those who come to her seeking her wisdom. She doesn't sugarcoat things and will give it to you straight.
History: Tahani lived with some of the other Travelers in their former pride. She was brought in to her former pride after the loss of her family to a fight with a pack of hyenas. That was when a big strong male from the pride, along with a hunting party, jumped in and took the hyenas down, but it was already too late for her family. The male found her huddled deep inside a log and coaxed her out and took her in as his own daughter. This male turned out to have some small measure of power in the pride, which later lead to Tahani's own relatively high rank later on. As he raised her she was groomed for success and she wanted nothing more than to make him proud. She was a vivacious youth back in those days. Then came the death of her adoptive father. It was disease that took him slowly, and Tahani had to slowly watch the once proud, strong, male wither away. In caring for him and his illness Tahani withdrew from much of the pride. His death affected her much more greatly then the death of her real family, which she had been too young to remember clearly. She grieved, and part of her is still grieving. She didn't become bitter, but rather much more sullen, serious, sober.
Relationship with Travelers: Tahani has been there since 'the beginning' of it all, and yet still is a mystery to everyone in some aspects. They know she is a smart lioness and some might come to her for council if they have a problem. Whether some are old enough to know her when she was a vivacious youth, or only know her as she is now, that would be something I'd like to plot with the other winners.
Plot Ideas: Idea1; I'd like to see Tahani meet someone that remind her of her adopted father that kind of stirs her memories and throws her in to some deep inner turmoil. Bonus points if he wants to try and get with her. Tahani will either fatherzone him or creeperzone him. Maybe both.
Idea2; Ideally I'd like it if there was someone that knew her when she was younger from her old pride that maybe could be like some sort of confidant to her - the one who she actually confides in. The one who wants to earn her love, and yet she doesn't see, or doesn't want to see, it. The drama with Idea1 could add extra drama.

Instrument ideas!Username: LexThetaSigma
Name: Itumeleng
Rank wanted: Kima'baba
Personality: Leng has always been a very easy going lion, without much that could rile him to anger. He would rather lay about playing his harp but he will also go out to help hunt if he's needed.
Instrument idea: A harp designed from curved bones held together with spider webbing. The strings are long strands from his own mane that the baboons helped him gather.EDIT: adding another form Entering for the brothers! Owner for dark lion: L1m3_gr33n_sh4rp13
Name: Kubwa Mwaloni (large oak in Swahlili)
Theme song: Everybody Talks (Because he loves being the center of attention and the topic of gossip xD)
Rank wanted: Kongwe
Personality: Very outgoing and charismatic, he loves to teases and playfully joke with others. He is personable and very open, not one to keep secrets or hold grudges, if someone irritates him, or upsets him, they are the first to know. Uually leans on his younger brother to help handle more delicate situations since he gets very involved and lets his feelings known constantly.
Feelings to brother: Is the older of the brothers and while he is fond of his sibling, he does like to pick on him and lightly tease him. Doesn't see his teasing as being mean. Has the same taste in lionesses as his brother so they often get into disagreements when it comes to women, like who gets flirt with who and so on.
Owner for light lion: LexThetaSigma
Name: Kidogo Mti (Little tree in swahili)
Theme song: Cha Cha Slide (Because he would be the one out there calling out the steps and leading cubs or anyone else who wanted to join in)
Rank Wanted: Kongwe
Personality: Enjoys playing with and teaching others. He will help anyone who comes to him. Unlike his brother, however, he is very closed off and will keep his emotions close to the chest, especially if he believes it will benefit the rest of the group. While his brother is the more emotional, and spot-light crazy brother, he is the calmer more reserved one who enjoys helping others learn.
Feelings to brother: Doesn't enjoy being teased by his brother and resents him slightly because of his better luck and elder status. Hates how his brother seems to always get his pick of lionesses and is envious of his larger size and more outgoing personality.

Instrument ideas! Username: L1m3_gr33n_sh4rp13
Name: Mwanzi-Upepo (literally reed-wind, sort of a translation of woodwind I guess)
Rank wanted: Kima'baba
Personality: Mwanzi is a gentle giant of a lion and always thinking of crazy ideas for instruments. If given the chance he will wander around aimlessly picking up random things to try and mash them together into a working instrument. Sort of like a nutty inventor I guess. If he were to get the Kima'baba rank he would surely help with the relations to the baboons as well as try to get them to help him make instruments or things dancers can wear to make pretty noises, as well as help the baboons create little trinkets for themselves.
Instrument idea: beware its a tiny image When he was teaching instruments in their old pride, he liked to experiment and create new ones with things he found, like wood, stones, anything that made noise. The one instrument that actually worked out was his xylophone. He made it with smoothed wood and reed and cut the pieces into different lengths. Once he mastered how to make it 'sing' he began teaching it to others.
Typically he carries it with him, both ends tied with some long woven grass and slung around his neck.Stormy Girl Username: L1m3_gr33n_sh4rp13
Name: Ngoma ya Dhoruba (Dance of Storms in Swahili)
Rank Wanted: Sheha to start, with potential to rp a 'promotion' if it all works out
Personality: Ngoma is a soft spoken female. She is ever calm and seems to have the patience of a saint. She rarely gets fired up or angry about anything, though dissapoinment does cross her calm features now and then. From the tribe her and the travelers came from she taught dances to the pride, though she was also a few lions confidante. One of her favorite things to say is, "My mind is like a safe, once your secret goes in, only you know how to get it out." And indeed, Ngoma never tells anyone elses secrets.
History: Born a rogue to an adolescent mother, Ngoma lived a hard life. She was one of three cubs tot he young mother, and was by far the biggest trouble maker. In her youth she was arrogant, smothering and full of pride and vanity. Always having to be the center of attention over her siblings, she would throw fits to get into the spotlight. One day, however, her and her siblings awoke as juveniles and were all alone. Her two siblings had been prepared for this, they knew how to hunt and take care of themselves, so they too left Ngoma, neither one having the sympathy to take care of their obnoxious sister.
At first she was angry at the world. Angry at her father for not sticking around, her mother for leaving and then her siblings for forsaking her to die. But eventually she grew too hungry and thirsty to yell at the world and slowly slinked off, picking a direction and just moving. She had so little experience hunting for herself, every time she tied she failed, making her grow more and more tired and hungry. With all her energy escaping her she eventually collapsed.
When she awoke she had a paw dipped into something wet. Wearily she opened her eyes and blinked as she saw there was water here, and sand. One sniff of the water made her realize it was too salty to drink though, but perhaps if she mustered up the will she could find a freshwater stream that fed into this salty water.
She did find water, and food for that matter. On this beach she took her time to teach herself how to hunt and even learned how to fish. As she learned and grew, she looked back at her life and could only shake her head. She had been such a brat as a cub and she felt it was no wonder everyone left her behind. She had always been so loud, needy, and annoying. Not to mention rude. But here on this beach she changed herself.
When she was an adolescent she decided to go off and find something for herself. Donning some shells and other random items she had found and made on the beach she clinked and clacked her way back into the savanna. When she eventually came upon the pride the travellers all come from, she decided to try and make this her home. She learned how to sing and play drums, but the thing she was best at, was dancing.
And then when their pride fell apart she came with this group, looking for the Nchi'mahadhi.
Relationship with Travelers: Former dance teacher of their old pride
Plot Ideas: I would like her to become at least one persons confidante, someone they tell all their secrets to with the knowledge she would keep those secrets forever. Also, perhaps she becomes close to a higher up in the Pride and proves herself as an even minded, intelligent lioness who has the ability to give sound advice and not be a gossip about anything discussed, thus allowing her to take on the 'High Class' rank. (And if anyone is interested in trying for the brothers with me send me a PM <3)

WINNARS
Boys:
Song Keeper:
Instrument idea:
Tribal Girl: f a y t h - x That rank would be fine, but would require a few RPies <3
Stormy Girl: L1m3_gr33n_sh4rp13 PM Me and we can talk about promotion things <3
[
OH HEY WINNARS. SEND ME PMs SO WE CAN DO RPIES SO YOU CAN OFFICALLY ENTER THE PRIDE <33
I'd be cool with a Group RP if everyone is willing to participate but I honestly think One on one RPies are easier. We can assume the group is moved in and they just are getting to know the members <3
