[OOC] Joining, Rank Changes, & New Litters

[Quaji]

Tanakako

Approved!

But...please be prepared for IC grief towards this her based on her coloring. She'll be perceived as weak, likely sickly, even if she's tough as nails. The lionesses may also try to get her to leave at adolescence, if it succeeds will be up to you, but it can be assumed that it happens at least once, if not multiple times.

If they don't succeed, she will be discouraged from breeding and chances are she'll (ICly) have a decently hard time getting one of the males to breed with her due to the stigma against unnatural colors. If you're okay with all of this, then she's more than welcome in the pride and I'd be glad to have her in! c: Having an odd-colored cub around could be a lot of fun.

As for the rank, she'll be a Lusizi (cub) > Busisa (adol/adult), since she's not born-in, despite her blood relation to Matifu and Njalo.

Completely understand about the IC consequences! Very excited for the plot possibilities for her. Thank you so much!

Joining Up!
Owner's Name: Lethrossen
Lion's Name/Image: Chiyembekezo (hope in Chewa)
Desired Rank: Lusizi > Busisa
Brief Personality: With a 'mother' like Umoya it's hard not be a little loud and boisterous, even as an 'outsider'. Chi will grow up determined and with a lot of love and encouragement from Umoya and hopefully anyone in Umo's life, even if the pride as a whole tends to treat her less well. She will also be a huge stickler for the rules, unlike her 'mother', due to the low expectation of Lusizi actually being able to hold true to the rules set in place.
Brief History: Born and abandoned, Chi did not have much hope of becoming anything other than a tasty meal for a passing hyena. She was found on the borders by Umoya, shortly after her front leg was removed and had mostly healed. Chiyembekezo & Umoya both need each other to survive, so they found each other at exactly the right moment in time.

[Kathryn Dragonna]

Joining Up!
Owner's Name: Kathryn Dragonna
Lion's Name/Image: Namandla
Desired Rank: Umzingeli
Basic Info:
Brief Personality: Nama is a strong lioness whose loyalty to the pride is above all else. She believes in her duty and does her best always to provide for the pride. She strives to prove she is a strong and capable lioness so that the males will know she would make a good mother and give her some attention toward that end. She would never dream of flinging even during the rogue swap.
Brief History: Nama was named for circumstance more than anything. She came from a small litter that was mostly stillborn. She was the only cub to survive birth and the trip back to the pride, thus her name. Nama's mother was not the strongest female in the group, and Nama believes that might have something to do with her origins. She decided at a young age that she had to be a better lioness than her mother. She had to live up to her name, and she had to have strong litters, not just one cub like her mother.

[Neon Fly]

Joining Up!
Owner's Name: Neon Fly
Lion's Name/Image: Ku'e Kaiulu
Desired Rank: Lusizi-->Busisa x2
Basic Info: NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO GET INFO. /SOB/ crying
Brief Personality: Right now, Ku'e is a very confused little cub. So far the only life she's known is one of constantly being on the move. She loves her papa very much, but is uncertain of this new place where she'll be expected to live from now on. Though she resembles her grandmother Njalo'sasa to a noticeable extent she is nothing like happy-go-lucky granny, who she is certain may have had one too many injuries to the head when she was a cub. In general, Ku'e is a perpetually contradicting little sour-face who will disagree with anything and everything just for the sake of argument.
Brief History: (Copy and Pasted from Kai because I'm lazy |D) Their father was surprised with two bundles of fluff after a brief fling. The mother was killed in a hunting accident so Laini took both girls under his protection. Worried that something could happen to such tiny bodies while he hunted for them he decided to bring them to live with his own mother in his birth-pride, knowing they would be safe and more importantly, get the love, care and female guidance they would need from Njalo.

Owner's Name: Lethrossen
Lion's Name/Image: Sauda
Desired Rank: Busisa
Brief Personality: Bossy (mostly towards her twin, though if she thinks she can get away with it with some of the members she will try to be) and very protective. A good hunter, a little full of herself. Values action over thought.
Brief History: Sauda and her twin have always lived a relatively easy life. With each other for company and the perfect camouflage to get close to their prey they never needed much in life. Except for maybe not to get mistaken for the very prey they enjoyed hunting as often as they did. They want a family, a group to call home.

Owner's Name: Belloblossom
Lion's Name/Image: Safura
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: n/a
Brief Personality: Cunning and quick of wit, Safura is the "brain" to her Sauda's "brawn". Despite her twin's bossiness, Safura is often the one that makes the big choices between the two of them (like joining the pride) even though this is accomplished through subtle hints and carefully planned remarks. Safura will only act in this questionable manner towards her twin and will be more respectful towards the other lionesses of the pride.
Brief History: Between hunting, being mistaken for prey, and making sure her twin wasn't rushing off into any situation without the proper preparation, Safura had begun to see the benefits of joining a pride. So, she started to wheedle away at her twin's thoughts on the matter. Then, one morning, Sauda came to her pale twin with a brilliant idea! They ought to join the Bonelands' Pride! Congratulating her twin for such an excellent idea, they set out to seek acceptance within.

Owner's Name:Zosie
Lion's Name/Image: Kau
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: N/A
Brief Personality: A bit of a well... cow, at times. xD She can be indifferent to most people, favours strength and bloodlines over intelligence or creativity and can hold her own when she needs to.
Brief History: Kau was part of a lioness- heavy pride which disbanded due to illness killing off most of the leaders, and the Bonelands is the closest thing to home she knows.

Noted~

The Member's List is handled per user now, similarly to the Mounties and the PL, so everyone is in charge of maintaining their own list of their SoA in the pride. The old Member's List is still there for archival reasons. The only updates the Member's List receives now are for the special ranks (Abaholi, Umama, etc..), which are kept as up-to-date as we can.  

[SilverLutz]

Joining Up!
Owner's Name: SilverLutz
Lion's Name/Image: Udaka
Desired Rank: Busisa
Basic Info: (only needed for: Umholi, Inselele, Umama, and Ambassadors)
Brief Personality: Kind of grumpy but is really a sweet lady. Raised to believe emotions equal weakness, so she tries to come off as gruff and unfeeling. Incredibly independent and hates asking for help.
Brief History: She recently joined up, before doing so she was a rogue who got on well on her own. Thanks to an injury leaving her blind in one eye she's had to swallow her pride and accept the help of other lions.
