Nyoka grew up in the jungle and left his parents shortly after he had hatched, preferring to be alone and solitary. One day, when he slept, he was called out of his dreams by a troubled voice. Unsure who this voice belonged to, he followed its pull out of the jungle and across many lands to a desert where he came face to face with an imprisoned Goddess. This Goddess was Rokopelli, sentenced to life in darkness by her mother.
He released the Goddess from her prison and thus grdugingly agreed to accompany her, appreciating the ability she had to fly, if nothing else. Whilst the Goddess truly loved him, Nyoka was often irritated by her, though his feelings softened towards the end.
Their time together ended at the Tuait'tekam lands when Rokopelli almost injured his mate and thus, they parted ways. Nyoka and Janja'nyoka returned to the jungle from where they had both been born and raised their first clutch of eggs there. Now, with their children gone, they are preparing to set out into the world again.

"Never forget that the most powerful force on earth is love."
Hera [Goddess of Marriage]
---------- Stages: [Adult] | [Adol] | [Juvenile] | [Cub] ---------- Colourist: Meepfur Acquired: Gift from Mimsey ---------- Name Origin: Greek Species: Leopard Pride: n/a Rank: Rogue ---------- Appearance: > Build - average / sleek > Marks - scar on hind leg ---------- Personality: > Upbeat > Motherly > Social ---------- History
Hera was one cub of four, born to a nomadic-minded leopardess. She was reared and brought up with her family in the jungle until she reached her juvenile stage.
Then, it seemed that her family strayed off, all taking after the mother who liked to travel. Hera, however, had grown attached to the jungle, loving it's beauty and it's ability to keep her hidden. She grew wary and afraid of the wide, empty land beyond the trees and set up her own little home in the trees.
For a long time she thought herself an oddball, the only leopard who had not gone on her own journey. She never really missed her family as she had never really been attached, but she did miss company. And as time passed and she grew to an adolescent she knew she could not stay in the same place for the rest of her life.
So, finally driven out of her secluded little haven, from loneliness Hera went out in search of others, first within the shelter of the jungle and then finally out into the wide world where her eyes were truly opened up to the beauty of life.

"There is nothing in the world so wonderful as to love and be loved; there is nothing so devastating as love lost."
Hababuu [Sweetheart]
---------- Stages: [Adult] | [Adol] | [Juvenile] | [Cub] ---------- Colourist: Meepfur Aquired: Breeding, gift from Lethrossen and Felyn ---------- Name Origin: Swahili Species: Lioness Pride: Kusini'mwezi Rank: Huntress ---------- Appearance: > Build - average > Marks - none ---------- Personality: > Selfless > Kind > Sad ---------- History:
Hababuu grew up as part of a large family in the Kusini lands. Content and happy in her life, she had a good childhood surrounded by love and joy. However, there was something that was not right and that was her twin brother. The two were inseperable and cared deeply for one another, however, one day it was discovered that he held the family's curse in an uncontrollable rage. This eventually led him to dissapear, having changed him into a bloodthirsty creature that none could recognise.
At this time, Hababuu was convinced that she could help bring him back to his old self and set out into rogue lands to find him. This journey proved fruitless and though she came across many leads, never seemed able to catch up. Whilst searching, she came across a handsome male Kemmy and spent a lot of her time with him, allowing him to take care of her whilst they were travelling. In time she became smitten with the male and asked to share a night with him. This crush became love but, despite this, when it was time for them to part, she knew she could not hold Kemmy in one place forever. He was a free and adventurous spirit and though she desperately wished to be with him, she knew it would be no good. So, her love for him set him free and she returned home alone.
However, their time together was made real by the two tiny lives that she bore and she spent much of her time mothering and caring to her son and daughter, watching as they grew and encouraging them to be who they wanted to be and chase their dreams, even if it meant they left the lands.

"In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles."
Ona'raha Subiani [Find Peace Evil Spirit]
---------- Stages: [Adult] | [Adol] ---------- Colourist: Meepfur Aquired: Custom ---------- Name Origin: Swahili Species: Lion Pride: Ela'wadiyi Rank: Storyteller ---------- Appearance: > Build - small > Marks - none ---------- Personality: > Timid > Fatherly > Imaginative ---------- History
And so it was that A'kiutu of the Shadow Clan birthed her first and only cub.
He was her jewel, her treasure, the apple of her eye. She adored him with all her heart, washed him, fed him and kept him safe from danger. For though life had once been nothing but a haven of peace, war now threatened to close its mighty jaws upon them. Their people were dying; murdered by the claws of the Darkfire Pride who had come to destroy their peaceful way of life, and yet in all the despair her one shining ray of hope remained.
He was called Ona'raha, and placed all her hopes and dreams in his generation...his future, and together she and her mate Fa'moyo raised him.
The cub was a lot like his father in appearance; slender, gangly-legged and strong of heart with a pelt of caramel that gleamed like velvet gold beneath the sun. His first tattoos curved along slender shoulders and down his forelegs as stark dark patterns that were almost dizzying to look upon. Glassy eyes that were very much like his mother's were also encased with a swirl of pattern that masked them with a dignified elegance. He was all in all a rather handsome little cub with a beautiful and wonderful imagination fuelled by his mothers tales of adventure. It was this pure and innocent soul that he lived out his life as a cub, paying no heed to the feuds going on around him. It was almost as if he was in denial, cheery when others were glum, energetic when others were collapsing from exhaustion. There were not many youngsters in the clan at the time and those that were there were a constant delight to the elders. Their games and play - which Ona always joined in - kept them entertained, and allowed the others to take slight respite in the fact that joy still remained even in the hours of darkness . It was during one of these joyful occasions that the first victim in their clan fell ill due to the plague. For until now they had heard only rumours of its existence.
Ona was a strong cub, already showing signs of growth in his lanky form and it was his innocence and quirky behaviour that had entranced the clan members that particular evening. Beneath the great moon he spoke of tales heard long ago, of spirits who flew the stars and waited for their chance at life. His voice rose and fell like the waves of the ocean, trickling against the sand and crashing against the cliff. His imagination was as wild and free as the antelope and his soul flew with wings of its own. He knew no boundaries and that showed in the skill of his story telling. His mother and father watched on with pride, their tattooed bodies glistening under the pale light and eyes wide with wonder. It was as the story reached its end that a strangled cry was heard amongst the crowd and a wave of shocked gasps filled the air. For one of their elders who had been suffering of an illness the past couple of days had collapsed, her sides heaving as she struggled to draw in each breath. She pawed frantically at the others, yelling at them to stay back and then finally sucked in one single breath and moved no more.
Ona'raha stood stock still, eyes wide in terror as he stared at the face of the dead lioness; into those emotionless eyes that gazed into the great abyss of nothingness. He didn't understand...for how could he? His young mind had no reason to comprehend what death was, and the prospect frightened him into becoming a silent statue. His parents tried to explain to him what had happened, that the elder was now able to rest and was no longer suffering; but it was no good. Ona didn't want to understand, because he realised that one day his parents would leave him too and that they'd no longer be there by his side.
The prospect terrified him and it haunted every one of his nightmares.
Barely a week passed since the death of the elder when more lions and lionesses fell ill, each one lasting only a couple of days before they too succumbed to the fate of death. Ona's carefree attitude slowly began to seep through his paws like sand in an hour glass, and his mother feared that her joyful cub was disappearing. She hated to see him this way especially when she remembered how he used to be. So taking matters into her own paws she gathered up her cub and informed her mate that they were to leave the clan and the death behind them. They travelled a little way and settled in a peaceful glade where they spent time with one another, learning and playing and sometimes receiving visits from A'kiutu's father who came to give them updates on what was occurring.
This continued for a while until one day Ona's grandfather just didn't turn up. They waited and waited and as the minutes turned into hours and hours into days they began to fear that the illness had taken him from them too. Full of worry and grief A'kiutu finally decided that they should head back to the clan and find out what had happened. Let's just say they were greeted with a terrible sight; for the ground was littered with bodies and the stench of death hung heavily upon the air. It seemed the plague had taken a strong hold upon the Ela'wadiyi and now barely a handful of their once wonderful pride remained. Together the three searched the corpses, hoping to find at least one survivor only to find A'kiutu's father lying amongst the dead. It was as they were losing hope and preparing to head back to their secret haven that they heard it.
A voice upon the wind
It was an Ela'wadiyi who was not of the Shadow Clan but there he stood all the same, alone and strong despite the terrors that had befallen them all. He spoke of a place that lay west across the mountains where they could be safe from both the illness and the lions who had brought it with them. He remained there only because he waited for his wounded leg to heal and agreed to travel with them so that they could reach the promised lands safely. During this time the little group grew to know one another and with each passing day the stranger Pa'radhi grew stronger. They knew it would not be long before they could set out. Nothing could befall them now, not when life was finally beginning to look up.
And then it happened and the illness took its toll once more, as if determined to smite them whilst it still had a chance.
A'kiutu fell dormant to it and in his grief Fa'moyo told the stranger and his son to leave them before they were caught up in its tangle of death too. He promised that he'd follow them but he would not set out to leave his mate alone to suffer. So it was with a heavy heart that the young Juvenile headed out with Pa'radhi, the two walking side by side in silence, too saddened to speak or even try to make good of the situation. It was after a day of slow travel that they were greeted by an avian with bright orange feathers and glossy eyes, it was she who was to be their guide. Her name was Kucha but to the lions she was known as Auri'rubani or 'Golden Guide' for it was she who would lead them to their future. However, neither lion realised just how treacherous the mountain paths could be, and with Pa'radhi's leg as it was he often stumbled and continued to do so until he couldn't get up. Ona tried to encourage him to stand but the limb was so swollen and sore that it caused too much agony when moved. The little juvenile tried again and again to get Pa'radhi up, only to realise that the journey had reached a premature end for the adult. Little Ona remained curled up against the larger lion through the night, sharing warmth with him until the early hours of the morning and then once more he was forced to turn his back on a friend to continue the pilgrimage alone. During this time many doubts passed through his mind, but with each step he knew he was getting closer.
However, he should not have doubted, for when he reached the lands that he would learn to call home, he found others there waiting for him. He was the last of his clan, yes, but as time went on he found that not all was so bad. Better yet, he made friends with rogues - a thing he never would have thought of doing before - and, this friendship developed into something wonderful. In Malik he found a brother and in Rehema he found a beautiful mate. His love for her was strong and, over the time, they bore children so that once again the Shadow Clan thrived. In more recent times, his eldest daughter, Eeva Subiani, has grown to Alu'ladi and Ona'raha is happy to settle into his role as storyteller.

"To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal."
Yuma [Howl]
---------- Stages: [Adult] | [Pup] ---------- Colourist: Meepfur Aquired: Breeding, gift from Masamune ---------- Name Origin: Swahili Species: Jackal Pride: Tuiat'tekam Rank: Priest of Death ---------- Appearance: > Build: Small / scruffy > Marks: none ---------- Personality: > Gruff > Proud > Defensive ---------- History:
Born in the Pridelands, Yuma was never particularly close to his family. Once he came of age he set off into the rogue lands to seek his own destiny and find a place where he could be truly useful. This place ended up being in the Tuait'tekam, where he studied and rose to become a Priest of Death. Respected for his rank and taking great pride in his role, he has everything he could wish for, never having much interest in romance or family life.
However, his life of solitude was about to come to an end. One day an avian brought with her a wounded lioness who was mute and clearly suffering from some terrible trauma. He was given the task to help her settle and remain at her side as her voice until she became better. Usually a solitary creature, he found this difficult at first, but his snappish behaviour was never done with cruel intent. And, as time passed, he came to see how much joy one could get by having friends.
