Wayra is an older lioness, her iron grey coat a good match for her steely will and iron discipline. That's not to say she is hard hearted, she has raised her fair share of orphans and strays. She is however, very experienced, not only in the way of the pride, but also in handling individuals. She is a steady, hard working lioness who has a measured and practical outlook on life. As a young lioness she had been a fighter, a warrior, a scout, a healer. Her drive and fire to prove her worth led her down many paths, and with her youth and spirited temper she proved she was as good as any male on the battle field, as skilled and as driven a hunter as any other pride member. But as the years passed the rough, prickly lioness slowly settled, making mistakes and unwillingly learning from them. Life smoothed her edges, taught her humility and grace, taught her patience and courage. Gone was the wild fire of youth, and in its place burned the slow, steady flames of experience. Now, in her later years, her actions were respected and her words considered wise. A corner stone for the younger generation to learn from, to go to for advise and guidance. She has also developed one of the most powerful seer abilities in the pride. She has long ago given up the idea of being a mother, her mate having died several years before after failing to gifte her with cubs. Unknown to her, it was he who had been infertile after a hunting accident, but in her life now as a council member, she doesn't expect to take a new mate.

.:History:.
Wayra is the Intaba'umbikezeli's most powerful Seer (Rolls), born of one of the pride's oldest bloodlines she can trace her lineage all the way back to the almost mythical mountain valley lion pride. Her mother was a mid-level Seer, a lioness of a pure white colouring who held the honored position of iNkosi'enyula, one of the God Chosen. Her sire was a low ranked lion, a Ibutho (warrior) by the name of Maza'blask, his dark iron grey coat was not as favoured within the pride, for it was patterned as if he were covered in armour, yet the pair were deeply in love and no one could bring themselves to try and part them. Aiyanna did her duty, raising two litters of cubs fathered by another pure white male in the pride, but there after she and her lifemate were completely faithful to each other. Wayra was the eldest born of the pair's last litter before her mother's untimely death in a freak rock slide. Wayra grew up with memories of her sweet natured seer mother, while training under the loving but firm paw of her father.

As soon as she was of age, Wayra entered the Ibutho (warrior) caste and trained long and hard to be the best that she could be. Within a year after her acceptance her elderly father passed away, leaving Wayra and her two siblings as the last of the blood line. The youngest of the three, a gentle, shy lioness with the desired pure white coat, died in childbirth with her very first litter. The brother, paler of coat than Wayra herself even before he began to whiten with age, was ambushed during one of his last scouting missions and died back home in his den with only Wayra and his mate at his side.

After the loss of her father, Wayra threw herself into her work, training morning and night. Within another year she had over taken her brother in skill and advanced to being the Offensive Commander's second, when the elder lion retired, Wayra stepped into his paw prints, taking on the mantle of Icala'phatha with dedication, skill and determination. It was also during this time that she met, recruited, and finally fell in love with her mate, a kind hearted, bear of a lion named Ohitekah. The brown-coloured lion was her confident and companion for many years, though he eventually died in an especially vicious attack by a local band of bachelor rogues. Wayra was heart broken, left alone without even young ones to carry on her beloved 'Tekah's memory, she threw herself body and soul into her work.

The stone-coloured and iron-willed lioness held and retained the position of Icala'phatha throughout her adulthood, surviving not only rogue and pride attacks from outside, but also the great Floods that decimated the pride from within, and the last biggest blow.. the death of her mate. Yet time and tide wait for no man and when a bad injury laid her up in her den for a season, the Kabaila'umbikezeli came to her and asked that she consider taking her place on the pride's Council. That very night, Wayra received the strongest vision of her lifetime and the very next day, shaken and sleep-deprived, she went to the sisters and accepted.

Now, with the pure white sister long dead, and her brother leaving behind a heart broken mate and three litters of grey and black coated offspring, and she herself cubless with only the memory of her lost mate to warm her nights, Wayra is the last of her bloodline still surviving, and the last hope for a iNkosi'enyula (God choosen) descendent. It is not only expected that she should produce cubs for the future of the pride itself, but with her position as Ikhansela and the fact that she is the strongest seer in the pride today, it is one last duty that she feels entirely compelled to fulfil before she can pass on without regret.

[Tanakako]

Name: Àn'yì
Meaning: 'Dark wing' (Chinese)
Species: Lion
Gender: Male
Pride: Intaba'umbikezeli
Rank: Scout
Pride 'Seer' ability: 3/10
Seer: ?

Roleplay color: #1a1c66
Obtained: Pride event from nessiaing
Colourist: Polette

. razz ersonality:.
A quiet cub, in part due to lack of sleep as well as a generally calmer temperament, Àn'yì hides his knowledge of his dangerous ability behind wary eyes. Content to let Röte and Villám share the limelight, Àn'yì is taciturn and reserved, often mistook for possessing a temper similar to his great-grandfather's. When in actuality he is simply too nervous to allow anyone close to him in case his secret is found out and he is forced to leave the pride. Ironically as he grows he decides that taking the role of Scout would be his best option, as he can spend time away from the pride where he wouldn't have to guard against his visions constantly, and he would be able to sleep without fear of discovery. While away from the pride he would be free to use his seer ability in order to gain further information that he can then take back to the pride as per his actual rank. Though he will never tell them where this extra information comes from.

.:History:.
This boy is the 5th born in the litter, and 3rd male. He has the "sight". Within the pride it is not viewed as a good thing when males have the sight. His vision strength is very weak however.

Àn'yì has known for a while that he was a seer and lives in fear of being discovered. He has heard that there are male seers who have hidden themselves within the pride and he aims to emulate them, never planning to tell anyone, even his parents, that he has the dreaded seer ability. After discovering he was in fact afflicted with the visions, he felt betrayed by his coat colour, having previously assumed that his really dark fur would protect him from the curse of the seer gift. His first vision came when he was tiny, and he mistook it for a nightmare, waking from it crying and calling for Sabia. Since then he has learned the difference between nightmares and visions and generally tries to hide both from his family, though he lives in fear of receiving a vision that he can't hide. This makes him wary and he tends to try and avoid falling asleep until the rest of the family have bedded down for the night, and he always wakes up before everyone else, too paranoid of what he may say in his dreams to sleep restfully, or well. As a result he is not as energetic as his siblings and will often sneak off during the day to nap somewhere where he feels safer. Àn'yì generally tries to stay out of his great-grandfather's line of sight. Though he is careful to visit the old lion enough that it isn't obvious that he is in fact avoiding Joto.
