ONE TICKET FOR THE LITTLE GHOST, PLEASE!
cub's birth name: Tafadzwa "Tafa"
will your cub be traveling to the mwezi'johari on their naming quest? Would depend greatly on whether she has reason to travel there.
will your cub be returning to the Jini'Msemi Swamplands? Yep! Barring unforeseen EPIC plots, he will happily return.

I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE BOY WITH THE TWO STRIPES!
cub's birth name: Nkosana
will your cub be traveling to the mwezi'johari on their naming quest? Probably not, he's content with just his Mother and wouldn't be the type to go out of his way searching for what wasn't meant to be.
will your cub be returning to the Jini'Msemi Swamplands? Yep! Barring unforeseen EPIC plots.

personality: He's a very timid male, having been raised in a group of mostly female's and without much of a Father he's grown to be quite feminine. He views his Mother as very strong individual for her ability to raise such a large cub litter on her own, and puts little to no thought into where his Father figure has been throughout his life. He simply believes Father's aren't all that important since his own wasn't around. As he grows, he'll likely want to start a family of his own, but he'll still be under the impression that his presence won't be as necessary as it really is. Throughout his life, Nko will be a very timid lion, who would rather roll over and submit than start an argument. He's quite the lover, and absolutely no fighter. It's as though the spirit just doesn't exist in him. When something that should anger him steps in his way, he simply looks at it, and steps in the opposite direction.

anything else? I would LIKE for him to be color blind. And therefore less likely to see the extreme coat differences between himself and his family. But if this isn't something that would be appealing, I want to go with my second option: Which is that he's comfortable within his own skin, and hasn't had a second thought as to why he looks different than the others. He takes a small amount of pride in knowing that he's the odd one out, and being the odd one out, does tend to lead to more attention than those who blend it ;]

OH HOW BLUE IS MISS BLUE REALLY?
cub's birth name: Thulile 'Tutu'
will your cub be traveling to the mwezi'johari on their naming quest? Oh yes, she'll likely read her own paw and realize 'it's her destiny to find him.' But really, she just wants some Daddy time.
will your cub be returning to the Jini'Msemi Swamplands? I'm leaning towards yes C:

personality: Tutu is going to be a very superstitious female. She'll enjoy reading the stars and telling other's their fortunes. While at the same time, warning those who could be in danger with the strictest of responsibility. Though she truly has no idea what she's doing when she's tried to read the stars - or her own paw, she tries and that's what she thinks matters. She's approving of herself and doesn't listen to what other's have to say about her passion. Those ill words fall on deaf ears when it comes to Tutu. As far as her superstitions go, Tutu is very strict in adhering to every guideline she finds necessary to avoid bad luck or ill will. She will go out of her way if need be, in order to ensure that the bad mojo she senses isn't going to mess with her day. Her favorite thing to do when she's bored is walk closely behind others and watch their steps, warning them of incoming cracks and if necessary bumping off the track that bad luck will lead them down.

Tutu is a very blue lioness on occasion, mostly because she'll feel different from her siblings. She'll have a true passion for the night sky both the moon and the stars and she'll even try her best to stay awake long enough to study them. Leaving her to sleep in later than her littermates. Though she in confident in herself, she isn't deaf to the comments that go on around her, and while she knocks them away. She still knows she's different.

anything else? I feel like with her more superstitious personality and love for astronomy that she might fall head over heels with the M'J - so I imagine if things went well she would wish to stay there for a time. Though my intentions are to bring her back here, so she boast that her love for the night sky is one she isn't alone in sharing.

ONE TICKET FOR THE LITTLE GHOST, PLEASE!
cub's birth name: Athos - meaning 'immortal' or 'spirit' in Greek
will your cub be traveling to the mwezi'johari on their naming quest? Not unless the cubs learn about their father and he becomes curious!
will your cub be returning to the Jini'Msemi Swamplands? Yes! And he will be staying there throughout his entire life.


OH HOW BLUE IS MISS BLUE REALLY?
cub's birth name: Avesta - meaning both 'support' and 'mystery' in Haitian Creole
will your cub be traveling to the mwezi'johari on their naming quest? Yes, but for the sole reason of meeting both her father and Kimia.
will your cub be returning to the Jini'Msemi Swamplands? Of course! She would never stray from her mother's home.

personality: Beguiling is the perfect word to describe Avesta. As a complete enigma, she is very deluding with her actions. She often leads her pride mates on to believe one thing before she reveals that she has fooled them. It is best to be careful around her - her slyness is as mischevious as her every motion. She's full of tricks that she uses to entertain herself and never fails to find something fun to do. Born a thinker, she excels at finding solutions to complex problems. Avesta enjoys taking time to formulate ideas and opinions. Even when she is at her laziest, her mind is working overtime to lay down schemes and hatch plots for the future. When she wants to succeed at something, she will get it in the end.

Wildly clever, independent and boisterous would be a good way to summarize Avesta's rowdy nature. Despite all of her bad qualities, she is hardly a bad-natured lion – she wouldn’t harm anyone unless they seemed to be a threat to her pride and she loves her friends and family fiercely. Sometimes, her carefree nature can come across as uncaring to the slightly more sensitive. She loves her brothers and sisters more than all else and tends to get along with them a lot more than the rest of her pridemates. She can be quite charming, and enjoys striking up conversation with others if they return her enthusiasm. Though she might not appear to be, Avesta is heavily spiritual. She only appears to hold respect for Gods and would do nothing to disrespect one. Despite being mischievous, enigmatic and rowdy, she is a good lion at heart and will grow into a strong, independent lioness.

anything else?
- I would love for her to meet her father at least once in her lifetime, just so she can freely say that she has. Upon meeting him, she will grow to learn more about herself and the journey there will bring a lot of revelations to her young mind.
- Her future name will reflect her growth as a lioness and the maturity she gains as she grows older.
- She will probably be very close to her mother, so some RP between the two of them as she grows would be lovely! <3

OH HOW BLUE IS MISS BLUE REALLY?
cub's birth name: Inna (Russian name meaning “Strong water”)
will your cub be traveling to the mwezi'johari on their naming quest? Yes
will your cub be returning to the Jini'Msemi Swamplands? Yes

personality: Inna was born big, almost as big as her brothers. As she grows she'll continue that trend and end up being a rather unusually large lioness, and somewhat big-boned to top it all off. But while her size is big her personality is just the opposite, she's actually a very meek and quiet girl with a strong tendency toward being shy around others. More often than not when her littermates are playing or exploring, Inna will be sitting quietly somewhere, watching, smiling awkwardly and practically hiding behind a curtain of her own mane. She more than a little self-conscious about her size, and so she usually slumps when she sits, bowing her head and trying to make herself look small... something that is not easily done. In human terms Inna is built like a linebacker, and although Inna herself is very gentle and non-violent, things that run into her tend to rebound off rather than knock her over. Her siblings likely learned quickly that she was no fun to pounce on. While Inna does not play or leap around like her siblings, she does enjoy watching others play and will often sit for hours, observing. When she DOES run it's so slow and lumbering just about everyone can outrun her, and that's probably why she almost never runs anywhere. To top it all off, Inna has a small, airy voice that belies her size, but it takes a lot of encouragement to get her to squeak out more than a few words at a time. Of all the things Inna likes, she will always have a soft spot for cubs, good food, and her family. The lack of her father in her life will be a major concern to her, and when she goes on her naming quest she will make a point to go looking for him and meet him. Hopefully when she gets there she will be able to say more than one or two words to him!

anything else? Can't think of anything?

AND OUR WINNERS...

I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE BOY WITH THE TWO STRIPES!
cub's birth name: Odi
will your cub be traveling to the mwezi'johari on their naming quest? Not sure, he'd be starved for family interaction so it's a possibility.
will your cub be returning to the Jini'Msemi Swamplands? Yup, unless plots happen. But I do like the swampies so it'd have to be awesome plots.

personality: He’ll never. Shut. Up. Odi is a little chatter bug and seems to be able to go on forever and ever about nothing in particular. It might just be his way to find his place and be seen in the large litter, but it sure can be annoying at times. As a cub he’ll probably get away with it most of the time on account of being cute but I imagine his siblings won't be as impressed wink

His family gives him comfort and he enjoys being around others, talking, talking, talking. Loneliness and silence are two very scary things to him, and that's another reason for his chattering. His name quest will be a real challenge since he will have to leave his familiar surroundings and support systems behind. I expect some drama when that time comes...

anything else? Worst thing he does? He gets especially chatty at night when they're all supposed to be sleeping... He talks his little head off and then zonks out, leaving those of his siblings that are easily disturbed wide awake.
