Name: Zuri'ramla
Meaning: 'Beautiful Preistess'
Obtained: Gift from Meepfur
RP Colour: Orange
Gender: Female
Seer?: No
Pride: none
Ranking: Rogue
Mate: None
Offpsring: none
Coat: Blue/Orange
Markings: A strange eye-like marking on her hip. She uses the strange colours of her coat to throw others off.
Personality: Zuri is one of deception, though not of the evil sort. Ever since she was born, the strange markings on her body made others believe that she was a seer, and one of great intelligence. Zuri, being one with a quick wit and interest for attention, plays up to this, making others believe that she can see things, hear things, and know things that others can't. It's all a lie though, for though Zuri is smart, she doesn't possess the seer abilities that many think she has. She merely reads body language, and takes an educated guess as to what others want to hear/know.

RP Colour: Black
Gender: Female
Seer?: No
Pride: none
Ranking: Rogue
Mate: none
Offpsring: Inikanza, Zekaiobe
Coat: White
Markings: Red tears, a marking on her side that seems like a gunshot wound, and two bloody back legs, as if they were torn off.
Personality: Very shy. Fupa is scared to death of anyone that isn't a hyena, and is still very untrustworthly of hyenas. She is a very smart girl, but her fear of life overshadows everything about her.
History:
Stages: Adol
Her story, how I won her in a story contest:
Heyna mothers are something of a different kind. While the females are rough, harsh towards one another, and very controlling, the mothers normally are much more patient with their children, enough so that they can raise their children, especially the girls, to one day become strong leaders for their packs. Commonly, the mothers would gather the girls around and tell them stories, stories to toughen then up against the real world, to learn that life wasn't as great as it seemed to be, and also that betraying your pack was deadly.
This story was one commonly told to the younglings, before their bedtime, to make them think twice about changing the lives that they were set to have...
"Once, there was a young female hyena pup that was born with such an odd colour for a coat. Her coat was of the purest white, of a sun-dried bone. All the adults whispered amonst themselves, wondering if she was one send from the gods, or if she was even something pure at all. The hyena girl, called Fupa'jinigutua (or "the Bone Setter Spirit") by her mother, was viewed in her pup-hood as something of a seer for the hyena, from their god of Death. Thinking her too young to actually assist them in their daily life, the adults left the girl grow, hoping to see some sort of gifts from her. Fupa's mother was an odd one, not anything seer-like, but a few of the fanatic ones in the pack viewed this as a chance for Fupa to gain the seer-abilities that they believed her mother lacked.
Fupa did her best to grow up like any of the other hyena pups, but her white pelt made things harder for her. The moonlight stuck her out of the dark graveyard like a beacon, so she couldn't make any sort of moves at night with the pack. She reverted to rolling around in the dirt to change her pelt, but the adults viewed this as an insult to her believed calling, and chided her for doing so. In that hyena are normally out at night, Fupa was confined to staying behind with the older hyena, the ones that were too crazy or old to be of any help. Here Fupa learned of stories of the outside world, of hunters, living elephants, and of lions that didn't always hate hyena. These stories snuck into Fupa's head, and corrupted her into thinking that the way of the hyena wasn't the true one.
She quickly grew into a lanky juvenile, her believed abilities to be of help to the pack still undeveloped. Most of the sneering adults believed her to be fake, like her mother, and left her to stay with the crazed hyenas. Her mother, indifferent to what the rest of the pack said, stroked her daughter into thoughts of being a seer, of deciet and lies that normally were filled within each of the hyena. The clashing ideas of her mother, to help the pack and gain them strenth, and of the crazed, older hyena, of life outside, where she might even feel a bit more useful, made Fupa's head ache. The more fanatical adults believe her to be seeing things, as Fupa constantly started muttering to herself about what she should do with her life.
Reaching her adolescence, Fupa was brought before the Alpha and her mate to show what she had learned, and if she did truly contain these abilities that she claimed to have. Fupa, having no abilities of the sort, tried to lie her way out of it, claiming that she indeed did have the seer-abilities, of speakings from the god of Death, and was told to prove of it. Fupa, not knowing anything of the outside world, again spread her lies and told the Hyena to move closer to the Pirdelands, to where there would be a great herd of gazelle to pick off of, for many were sick with a disease that only they were prone to. Taking this account as truth, the Alpha lead her hunters off to inspect, and see if it was of the truth. Fupa, exhausted from her lies and coy nature, went back to where her mother lay, waiting to see if in any way her lies were close to the truth.
The Alpha and her hunters discovered that there indeed was a herd of sick gazelle, and killed plenty enough for a feast. A feast to attest to the new seer that was in their pack. A Seer to help them raid the lands of other packs, to bring strength to them, and to discover that indeed their was a Seer, and the god of Death was in their favor.
The early morning passed, the day passing over also. As the hyena's wakened to meet their dusk, they discovered that the sickness was not something that would only affect the gazelle, but infected all of the Hyena that had eaten off of the flesh from the sick gazelle. The Alpha, furious that she had been decieved, claimed the death of the false-Seer, of Fupa. Scared for her life, Fupa tried to fight off her attackers, but was unsuccessful. Her back legs had been torn off, her pure white body slowly being stained by the blood that was always found on pure white bone. She was thrown into the land, barely alive, and unable to live. She survived just long enough to find a hunter, a human, shoot her in the heart. She had learned in the hard way that life outside the graveyard, outside of the pack is an evil one. One full of lies, of temptation to lead others astray, to kill your brethren.
It is said that she haunts the lands outside of the graveyard, crying with blood filled eyes, bloody-formed hind legs that never stop bleeding, and a heart with a hole the size of a star.
My children, THAT is what happens to one that betrays their trust. I pray that you will never think about leaving us, for your destiny was predetermined, for why else would you be born unto us? Such a strong pack with a strong history...I bid you sleep, and make sure to watch your back when out for a hunt... for the bone setter shall surely try to drag you into her misery."
