Mister Unlucky
Cub name: Obayana
Meaning: Always Unfortunate
Personality:
Obayana is a calculating thinker and enjoys using his head to outsmart his brothers and sisters. Whenever he tries to do things using his brute strength, they never work out for him. Because of this, he believes that his father cursed him with his name, forcing him to always think. Although he has a bit of a selfish streak and wants to live an optimal life though whatever means possible, he can also be compassionate at times with those he cares for. His family is very important to him, but he will stop short of nothing to achieve his goals once they've entered his mind.

Obayana will enjoy being in the Kuroi'Nera as this pride will allow him to use his thinking skills and manipulate and maneuver his way to a comfortable life. Being only a cub, his life is still simple and he doesn't aspire for much yet. Most of his time is spent romping around with his siblings and daydreaming of the upper ranks. Even though he doesn't mind using his brain instead of his brawn, he secrectly fears growing physically weak because of it. Once he has attained a higher position, he will surround himself with grunts to make them do the dirty work while he shines in his accomplishments.

Desired Rank In 'Nera: Pack Mule--> High Grunt --> Merchant
Will the cub choose to change his name why/why not: He will not change his name, because it will have become a part of him by that time. His entire countenence will be a result of his name. Because he believes that his name is a curse, he will have honed his mental skills to nearly genus status by the time he is into his adulthood. This will be an essential tool for him to work up the ranks, and for that he will not change his name, because it is his curse that will indirectly lead him to greatness.

Prompt Response:
The small cub was outside playing with his brothers and sisters and trying desperately not to think of his impending future. It had been a few days since their parents had named all of them, and the cub was feeling cheated. Their mother had chosen names for all of his other siblings, but apparently he wasn’t good enough to be named by their decidedly more loving mother. No, she had let father name him.

It seemed that his father had taken the chance to destroy his life and ran with it. If there wasn’t much else that he knew in his short life, it was that his father must have hated him to some extent, although he wasn’t sure why. It might not have been a bad name by the sound of it, but he knew for a fact that his father had cursed him on that day.

It seemed as though, ever since that day, whenever he tried to pounce on his siblings or get into a scuffle with them, he always managed to get himself hurt in some way, even if he thought that there was no possible way that he could. That was why he believed that father had cursed him, that he had cursed his strength. It was the only thing that he could think of that was different. Whenever he tried to use his strength, things always turned out bad for him, ever since he was named.

How else could his father more perfectly affect him in his every day life, for the rest of his life? Every being in these lands needed their strength to survive. A chill ran down his spine whenever he thought of the words that Dhavlen had spoken to him on that day, the words that described both his name and curse that had been wrought upon him. He had been sitting next to his siblings waiting for his name when his father had turned to him and said the words that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

“Obayana, you are always unfortunate.”

Look at ME!
Cub name: Porfirio
Meaning: “Purple” in Italian
Personality: Porfirio, nicknamed Firio, has always been a handsome boy, with his intricate coat patterns and his graceful moves. He was never quite like the other boys of his litter; where the others might like to play-fight and chase things, he preferred to keep himself clean and not exert himself. It’s not that he’s prissy about his appearance so much as that he likes to look his best, and when he doesn’t he can get quite grumpy about it. Firio has a bit of an ego, but since he gets picked on pretty frequently for being so different, that tends to keep his head from getting too big.

When the litter gets cubnapped, Firio will fall right into the Entertainer group when he gets old enough. Right away he will know that he was meant for it, and he will focus all the energy he has as a cub in learning to sing, dance, and practice the arts (even though he will probably be bullied even more for it!)
A piece of art that fits him: Besides being his colors, the lotus flower kinda is peaceful and lovely, like him!
Desired Rank In 'Nera: Entertainer
Prompt Response: Firio could not be more aware that he was different. If he could ever forget it, everyone around him would remind him. It was bad enough that he didn’t seem to fit in with any of his brothers, and spent most of his time, if with anyone at all, with his female relatives. No, the worst part for him was that his father seemed to dislike him greatly, and for that Firio felt very sorry. It wasn’t as though anything he could do would change that, though.

Firio wasn’t the only cub in his litter that wished they got more attention from their mother… he was sure of that. And yet feeling so isolated made it all the more noticeable to him. At least his siblings could relate with each other!

Well, there were plenty of things about him that made him unique. Of all the male cubs, he thought he was the most handsome. Others might have disagreed with that, but Firio thought he knew better. After all, he spent the longest amount of time grooming and keeping clean. He moved gracefully too. He often spent time out of his day practicing the way he moved to better show off himself. He wanted to be hard not to notice, but he was never sure if it worked or not. Either way, he seemed to get about the same amount of attention from mother that all his other siblings got, and even less from his father, but that he could live with. Father rarely had anything nice to say, if he said anything to him.

Half of a Whole
Cub name: Rada
Meaning: Russian, Derived from the Slavic element rad meaning "care".
Personality: Coming from the last born, one would think they were childish and naive. Instead, Rada is quite the opposite. The caring, collective, hard headed, determined and smart cookie of the litter. She has traits of a strong 'beta'/left paw that tries her hardest to be come the leader. Nothing really goes over this cub's eyes unless she is reassured by her mother on everything. When her mother is away, she takes on the responsibilities left behind when she can but still has bits of masculine/cubbish qualities due to her father and siblings.
Her greatest trait is that she takes on traits from others and sometimes adapts it to her own. As a child she will have the determination to try and protect the family on her own but fails as a cub several times and tries to be the 'older sister' when she is one of the youngest. Inwardly, during their time at the pride she will doubt who she is and what is best for their survival. Later she will develop the strength and resources to keep her family afloat. Rada, then pulls out a stiff paw to guide her siblings down the right path but sometimes, she tries her hardest to make them smile. Whether its to instigate tag or some other silly games to see them all happy but to herself she will develop the trait of seeing everyone else happy but herself. She thrives on other's happiness to complete the void of her mother ( When they come to the pride without her ). Her inner workings, she only talks about with her twin about.. he is soully the only one who understands why she is the why she is..

Twin notes ; Although her main instinct is to care ultimately for her twin, she also instinctively holds him with greater fault then hisown. Her first reaction to protect him not matter if he is wrong or right. No one lays a paw on him, but right when they other leaves she would likely scold her brother much more harshly than the rest of her siblings. But she is quick to protect him, care for him and cover for him in a pinch.

A Song you think best describes her: [ Cub - Juv song ] ( Lyrics ) ---- [ Adol - Adult ] ( Lyrics )
Desired Rank In 'Nera: Citizen - > ( Brother's rank ) -> ( Brother's rank )-> ( Brother's rank ), then transferring to Merchant later down the road
Prompt Response:

The day would have been good. With mother gone chasing father, she would lay on a rock and collect her much needed sun for it had grown cold the night before. Finally, warmth.. Til she got a strange feeling in her chest. The smell of waterbuck grew in her nostrils and although her mind said it could be her mother hunting, but her heart screamed it was her brother. Lifting her lazy head up with some after thought force she eyed around the Savannah. Then her body followed as she hoped her way between her siblings. "Where's Sol.." She asked with some slight worry to her voice. When the others couldn't identify where he was, immediately the cub sped off. Her thoughts collective of him getting in to a fight again or causing some sort of headache.

She sighed, why did she have to always -. Oh no.. What had he gotten himself in to this time. SURELY HE KNEW that waterbucks were triple their size right not and one could possibly kill him! Seeing his body run right past her in a flash before her eyes.. "HEY!" She called out but when she turned around to see angry waterbuck father.. she couldn't help but book it after her brother. "What did you do THIS time!" She screamed at him while hot on his heels. Giving his shoulder a push when she got up to his same stride til they jumped over a rock and slid under a bush tree..

Her breath was stronger than her voice, raspy and drained. Turning to him looking exhausted from the run.. he THOUGHT she wouldn't do anything to him.. But he was wrong, and with that came a few slaps. "Keep picking on those water bucks and see what happens!" Huffing and letting her chest collapse.. Pushing against him.. then with not even a second thought, she pulled him in to a tight hug.. "You dummy.." A comment made under breath as she waited til there was no sound before ushering him to mother.

After the talk with their mother- she took the blame for scaring off the hunt and the chase putting the other in danger.. with pride and a stiff chin..
