  Running in a crowd, in a faceless town
I need to feel the touch of a friend.
In the countryside, I wander far and wide
The isolation gets me again

Personality: Elfu is the fifth hyena employed by Xibalba to keep watch on her multiple charges. She is, like the majority of them, another female, which one would think might cause some scuffles between the group. It is lucky that Elfu is not really the bickering type, something that Xibalba possibly looked for when she was recruiting more hyenas. While she is not the brawn type, she is not the brains of the operation either. She's an average sort of hyena: bright enough to survive but would rather go along with the pack than think up her own ideas. As a female hyena she is bigger than the males but not quite as big as Chafua, thus preventing any fights for 'who is the bigger hyena.' Elfu is quite content to follow Nanako or Lawahka around and to report back whatever her nose picks up.
Her nose is Elfu's biggest talent, and something that she takes great pride in. Her sense of smell is even better than Nanako's, though it has served her much the same purpose over the years. It has proven extremely useful for finding food, but also for finding other hyenas and staying out of danger. You can also learn a lot about someone by the way they smell, or so Elfu says. The nose never lies, and if there's one thing in the world that she would swear by it would be her nose. She is the happiest when her talents can be put to use, and is the most comfortable when she's around other hyenas. Elfu has no great love for lions but she respects their place in the world. Her hyena group comes first, and she can become unusually aggressive if forced to defend it from intruders. On the whole, however, she is a very calm, amiable hyena who is content to do as her group does.

  It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
Meaning: A flower worn in the hair
Father: Misri
Mother: Eleaith
Siblings: Aziza'binti, Leswalo, Changamka, Angavu, Kipaku, Dauna, Nauva'Entula
Offspring: None
Pride: Kunanda'Nakhun
Position in Pride: Gasht
Clan: Chatri
Personality: For a lioness in a pride full of warriors, Kikuba does a great deal more thinking than she does acting. She is an inquisitive young cub, pondering and considering everything that sparks her interest, however often she spends too much time thinking about her actions and in the end loses her chance to do something. Thus, she comes off as hesitant, if not a little shy. She has trouble with introductions, often fumbling over her own words when she speaks in an effort to get the words out before she changes her mind about them. Things worry Kikuba easily; however she has found that she can use the pride beliefs as her strength and stability. She looks up to her mother for guidance on them, and believes that she should protect what she loves with all her heart. She is still a very young lioness, and has some growing to do before she can reach her full potential. For now, however, she is content to learn and work on her confidence.
Kikuba finds great comfort in the pride’s teachings, the rigidity providing much-needed structure for her life. She believes that it is ji’e’toh that keeps the pride in check and prevents chaos and unwarranted fights from breaking out. By using honour and obligation, one can prevent bloodshed and keep the peace even in a pride of warriors. She is sure that her pride’s strictness actually enhances a lioness’s way of life by giving her guidelines and direction. Kikuba receives both from the ranking system, which has helped her find a sense of purpose in her life. As a Gasht her soul is not as ‘impure’ as a Shikar-i, but she still has a long way to go before her soul is ‘pure’ enough to be reborn as a Rawal. Thus, she is honoured to accept requests from those lionesses who rank above her, and tries to live her life in such a manner that she can walk in the paw prints of those who have already proven themselves as exemplary. Her way of life is the only one that she accepts, and she would have trouble understanding any members of her pride who saw something wrong with the system.

  I'd wrestle with a lion
And a grizzly bear
It's my life, baby
But I don't care
Ain't that tough enough?
Meaning: Talented, gifted
Father: Nitahifadhi
Mother: Alake
Siblings: Amira
Offspring: None
Pride: Mtaishi'miele
Position in Pride: Youth
Personality: When Tabia's mother had two little girls she couldn't have been more thrilled. Finally, two girls that she could teach about manners and etiquette and who would grow up to be darling princesses just like her! Perhaps they would even get saved, as she had, by their lifelong mate and live happily ever after with him. Unfortunately for her, her two daughters were anything but dainty princesses, especially Tabia. Bold and fearless, Tabia has taken on the role of knight in their little party of two, and strives to be the perfect warrior. She believes in honour and nobility, not to mention the core knight concept of protecting the weak. Adventures are her specialty, and it was at her suggestion that their "older brother" Konja play the damsel in distress since neither of them fit that role.
Since her role in the party is knight, she rejects all girly things and dislikes having to learn anything about manners. As a knight she is sure that she has impeccable manners, but only when dealing with damsels and fair maidens. When dealing with other knights or common men she displays a calm sort of indifference. If they do not need her assistance then they will not receive her full attention. That's simply how the world works. Being a knight has also made her very protective over her little family, especially her sister. Anyone who wishes to be friends with – or god forbid mates with – her sister must first pass through her, and she would not be opposed to chasing off any lion who did not know his place. It is unknown at this time if her "manly" personality is just a phase or if she will never grow out of it.

  He's an instigator
Enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in
Meaning: Spot; fleck

Offspring: None
Pride: Mtaishi'miele
Position in Pride: Youth
Personality: Kidoa's life revolves around the history of his birth, which involves himself and his brother Rosko. They are the rebirth of two lions who are known only for their fighting with each other. Last life he killed Rosko's previous life Machui. The life before that, it was Machui who killed his past life Nyuni. This life makes three, which is essentially the deciding round. This has made home life rather difficult for the group, since the pride is very careful about letting Kidoa get anywhere near Rosko and vice versa. While revenge had not yet taken hold of his mind due to his age, it is unsure whether the pair will consider themselves even or need a final match to settle the score.
Despite his messy history, the young leopon is extremely self-confident. He is sure that he is the ultimate mix of felines, and there is very little that can knock him off his pedestal. By combining leopards and lions you create a hybrid so sturdy and strong that you've made the ultimate warrior or even the ultimate guard. Kidoa rarely shies away from attention, enjoying every moment he can in the spotlight. He does, however, go out of his way to make sure anyone who challenges him knows their place. Imitations should not be compared to the real thing, and Kidoa is as close to the real thing as can get. Though he does enjoy attention, he has a certain coolness about him that prevents him from getting close to most of the members of his family.
