Lion's Name/Image: Herlinde ((Herlinde has been stuck at cub stage for a long time now, so I imagine when she does grow it'll be straight to adult...))
Desired Rank: for now, she'd reside at the Firekin outpost, however if allowed she'd gladly become a member of the Bonelands. SOOO Busisa.
Basic Info: (only needed for: Umholi, Inselele, Umama, and Ambassadors)
Brief Personality: Herlinde was born not only Huria, but a sickly little creature. Most Firekin are notably big, but she was tiny even by a normal cub's standards! Constantly sporting crusty eyes and a runny nose, Herlinde was still full of heart. Not the fighting, firey spirit of the Firekin, but a loving, caring, gentle warmth. As she gets older and is sent to the outpost, Herlinde's ills seem to subside majorly, prompting the idea that it must have been something in the air affecting her) but her kind heart remains ever present.
Brief History:Herlinde was born during a great time of turmoil and drought, when food was scarce and water more so. Sickly, but surrounded with the love of her parents and many, many siblings, the dire situations seem to not have affected her too awfully much. Her parents worry greatly for her, and it breaks their heart to have to send their needy little girl away, which is why they gave her Finice and chose the outpost.

Approved!

Her bird will be a major point of interest in the pride for sure. It's awesome to see cooperation between Firekin & Bonelands. Welcome to the pride!

Owner's Name: Meepfur
Lion's Name/Image: Sher-Kha-t
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: (only needed for: Umholi, Inselele, Umama, and Ambassadors)
Brief Personality: Once a self-absorbed, entitled brat preoccuppied with her status as a princess, Kha-t has only recently begun to come to terms with the shocking fact that the world does not revolve around her. She's still arrogant, and still a bit bossy, but it's a thin cover over her insecurities. She tells herself that she's better than everyone else, but she knows it isn't really true...but clings to it, because she doesn't know how else to be. Has moments when she drops the act and is actually a decent person, which may become more frequent.
Brief History: Born into the Tuait'tekem royal line, Kha-t was a princess - not the heir, but that didn't stop her from taking the 'princess' title and running with it. She wanted the best of everything, including in mates, and so she found a god to bear cubs for (that's how she tells it, anyway). After the god was long gone and the cubs had grown, the pride disbanded, and suddenly, Kha-t wasn't a princess anymore. Rogue life has been a rude awakening, and given her an appreciation of others she didn't have before. Now she just wants somewhere to belong (and where she maybe won't be hungry all the time).

Joining Up!
Owner's Name: Jovi of Shadows
Lion's Name/Image: Asali'Jua (Changing name to Uju, 'Honey' in zulu.)
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: NA
Brief Personality: Friendly, and openly affectionate to those around her. An honest sweet heart that will do her best to help someone through difficult issues or decisions. She may come off as a little simple, but Asali is profoundly skilled at observation and prefers to temper her behavior to avoid conflict as much as possible. Quick to trust and forgive, but can get aggressive if she feels someone is pushing her around too much. One of her true passions in life is to hunt, and to feel the thrill of overpowering prey to bring a killing blow.
Brief History: Her and her sister were taken away from their family as cubs, raised as slaves to an abusive male dominated pride, and mistreated for most of their lives. They escaped during late adolescence, and went into hiding in the rogue lands where every day was wrought with the fear that they would be captured and punished for running away. No one could be trusted in their eyes. In early adulthood Asali was beginning to get fed up with the life style, and upon meeting a friendly male who promised to protect them out in the roguelands she agreed to follow him and live with his small family pride. The twins stayed with him for the better part of two years where his constant protection helped them heal some of the mental damage their captivity had caused. Now they've grown restless with the lifestyle, and seek out a much larger family structure to call home.

Owner's Name: Jovi of Shadows
Lion's Name/Image: Damu'Mwezi (Changing name to Igazi, 'Blood' in zulu.)
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: N/A
Brief Personality: Suspicious and untrusting of most anyone, save her sister. It takes a lot for this little lioness to get used to someone, but until then she may come off as scrappy or dismissive. More than willing to get physical if she has to and doesn't take derogatory comments aimed at herself or her sister laying down. Definitely doesn't like being pushed around, and won't tolerate any sort of abusive behavior, especially in males. Eventually calms down when she runs out of steam, but mostly a grumpy lioness whose had her fill of bad treatment. She'll hunt and be effective at it, but doesn't get nearly as much enjoyment out of it as her sister does.
Brief History: Twin sister to Asali, captured alongside her and escaped into the roguelands as adolescents. Angry at how fate screwed them and restless with the mundane lifestyle of their rogue protector. She's just itching to find her place in the world. But, of course, she's unwilling to leave her sister's side, even if that means joining up with a strange pride.

Approved!. It will be interesting to see how they react to having a princess around! One who believes in gods, no less. My sincere apologies for taking so darn long to approve her.

Both are approved! Poor girls. Looking forwards to seeing how they interact, especially with the makes! Again, really sorry about the time delay. I just be going blind!

Lion's Name/Image: Karasi
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: N/A
Brief Personality: Karasi seems to be someone who will stand idly for minutes at a time lost in thought but still capable of paying attention to what's going on around her. (A coping mechanism from her life before.) She doesn't smile often but when she does it's genuine. The lioness is capable of laughter but it takes some time for her to warm up to it. Karasi seems to have ideals somewhere between the old and new ways of the pride, based on how her experiences in life have shaped her opinion.
Brief History: Karasi managed to stumble upon the pride by accident but upon seeing the closeness between each member and what life was like inside a pride she decided to stay. Karasi doesn't really talk about her past but as time goes on she may open up to others about it.

show spoilerhide spoiler

When she was in the rogue lands she had been born to a very kind and open family but as time went on and the drought came things began to change. Her parents fought all the time both with each other and with their cubs. With little food to go around it didn't take long for her siblings to slowly die off and her mother along with them. Things got easier and harder for the small family after that. They were broken and with so much grief it made it hard to connect with one another. However, now any food they did manage to catch was able to be passed to everyone. All that was left of her family was her father, a sister and a brother. As soon as the three cubs grew to be adolescents they ran off and in Karasi's case, fix themselves. Now the lioness is quiet but not hardened by the life she had before. She has come to terms with it, for the most part, but still suffers from nightmares. When it comes to food she is much more willing to share and go without.

Hey Kiana, could you flesh her history out a bit more? I need to know the OOC information to make sure it isn't going to completely clash with the pride--i.e. it's logically possible to occur. If you want to keep things a secret and work them into RP over time, that's just fine! Just ship me a PM.

A very basic personality is fine, too, but I'll definitely need a few key words even if the specifics get worked out in RP.

Since I already worked this out with you, approved~

She can be raised by Nahmba since Nahmba has a habit of doing things she is really not supposed to, including pulling in rogue cubs.

Lion's Name/Image: Mcheni
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: --
Brief Personality: Relatively fearful of other lions, and anyone not herself or those she finds acceptable, Mcheni can be a hard lioness to get along with. She's a hard worker at least, doesn't eat too much, but she usually keeps to herself and maybe a few specific other lionesses.
Brief History: Mcheni has been wandering the rogue lands and learned that she might have family within the Bonelands, she altered her course, and ended up picking up young Ukame on the way. Of course the claim of family proved false, but she'll find the place homey enough to want to stay though she'll be wary of who she befriends. The land is harsh and the last thing she wants is to get screwed over. Besides, she's got a cub she sorta adopted.

Lion's Name/Image: Ukame
Desired Rank: Cub > Busisa
Basic Info: --
Brief Personality: Ukame will be relatively shy growing up, attempting to prove her own worth early on since she's a rogue and ending up in trouble more often then naught. Hopefully through development she'll end up growing into a decent hunter and a fair addition to the pride.
Brief History: Born into a litter of six in the Pridelands to a wandering father and a mother who didn't even want the cubs. Ukame wandered far from home, a little pass the border, before being picked up by Mcheni and brought to the Bonelands. She's not sure if she's been cubnapped or rescued, but at least she's not around any nasty hyenas anymore!

Approved!

The recluse one might get a hard time, but she'll certainly be welcome with a cub in tow during the height of food availability.
