Personality: Ithemba is the first-born cub of the litter. Even though she's the "big sister", she's hardly treated as such by her brothers. Ithemba likes to have a rather innocent outlook on life and can come across as naive at times. She's slightly laconic and enjoys taking her time in thinking about about what she says before she says it rather than giving a response right away, and she speaks sort of slowly most of the time. This has led some of her family members to think of her as being slow in the head (which she's not).
Even though her family tries to snuff out her artistic side, Ithemba loves to make things out of clay. She's quite large (especially for a female) and tends to get self-conscious about that fact if a situation reminds her of her large build. Overall, Ithemba is very sweet, but behind her lazy smile and small voice hides a plotting streak.
