About your immediate family:
Your father, Behnam: Son of the God of Manes, Nywele. This means that Behnam is a seer. Behnam and Koko hit it off when Koko was attempting to leave the pride. She was devastated when she found out that he was a Pad in the pride she'd just left. Behnam was heartbroken when she left him but he did not attempt to stop her.
Your mother, Kokojicho: Despises her mother (though through RP this will change), despises her mother's Pad, despises the pride (though this will change after her return to the U'W -- she will become Behnam's beybanu and will learn how to accept and maybe even enjoy her life in the pride). Temperamental and fiesty, Koko will be overtly protective and very critical of future pads -- and even male friends that her daughters might have.
Your younger sister, Alouette: No personality set in stone as of yet. Owned by pinchmonster.
Your youngest sister, Svetta: No personality set in stone as of yet. Owned by hibi-tea.

About your Father's family:
Your grandfather, Nywele: God of Manes.
Your grandmother, Amani: Nywele's Beybanu (I think!)

About your Mother's family:
Your grandfather, Peremende'ment: A rogue. Will likely never meet these cubs, sadly enough. They are his first grandchildren.
Your grandmother, Amara'sarai: Beybanu to Kwea in the U'W. Amara suffers from a split personality disorder though since her second litter it has yet to show its face again. She will cherish her first grandchildren and love them endlessly. Through time she will win back the love of her daughter.

Various Extended Family:
Many aunts and uncles through Amara by her pad Kwea.
Many aunts and uncles through Nywele by his beybanu and banu.
Many aunts and uncles through Peremende'ment by various females.

This is a rather large and prolific family.

The Rules!

1. This contest is open to U'W newbies only. If there is a lack of U'W newbies, I will open this contest up to include those who might own a lion/lioness in the U'W.
2. Be polite, please. Win or lose, be a good sport.
3. Feel free to post questions in the thread, just make sure to quote me so that I know a question has been asked.
4. Most importantly, please make sure that you've read the rules for the pride.
5. Ultimately if you want your lioness to leave the pride, you must first ask Ice Queen and myself. Generally the females are kept within in the pride BUT there are allowances. Some males do not mind the social repercussions of releasing a female, and there have also been instances of escape from the pride.
6. As mentioned above, the cub will have to remain in the pride unless there are certain requirements met.

Please be sure to read U`W pride information

[b]Cub's name[/b]: Arabic preferred, french is okay too.
[b]Name meaning[/b]: Self-explanatory.
[b][i]Short[/i] personality blurb[/b]: Short and sweet, please.
[b]Future plans[/b]: What do you want to see happen with this cub?
[b]Your entry[/b]: Artwork (even amateur, we want creativity), poetry, short story, any other creative expression. All of this is welcome. Please no youtube viral videos. You CAN post a link to a song but you MUST give reasons why you choose this song, and the reasons have got to make sense.

Cub's name: Eman'Feryal
Name meaning: Faith'Decoration, ornamentation
Short personality blurb: Is a very spiritual girl who believes that her place in the pride is solely to make her man happy. However, she also believes that she is not worth very much and so see's herself more as a Kajira
Future plans: I would like to see her conflicted at some point or another with her mother and being maybe even a little sad or angry at the fact that she had left the pride for some time.
I would like to have her meet a male who maybe shows her she has some value as a baybanu, banu, ect.
Your entry: Miss Invisible by Marie Digby Why did I choose this? Because she sees little value in herself she often feels really down on herself. Her only happiness comes from her faith, but in her heart she hopes that someone can see the value she has hidden away from everyone.
Note: It's a very sad song. So I'm sorry. D;
Do you own any U'W lions?: Nope, none. :3

Cub's name:
Nabihah
Name meaning:
Intelligent
Short personality blurb:
Like her name, this cub is quite intelligent and not necessarily afraid to show it. Like her mother she can be a feisty one, but not enough to cause problems. She knows she’ll need to stick to the rules in order to keep everyone happy. When it comes to males she’s rather neutral about them. Granted, if one were to insult her she’d certainly fire back her own retort. Overall though she doesn’t like to cause problems and wants to keep the peace within the pride. She’s unsure if she’d be considered a Banu or Kajira, but she doesn’t really care about names attached. What she is called is what she is called.
Future plans:
I’d like to see her have conflicting feelings about how females are treated within the pride and eventually gets a history lesson from another lion, male or female, to understand why the pride is set up the way it is. I’d also like to see her form her first crush on a male she won’t and/or can’t necessarily be with. It would prove some interesting plots and rp.
Your entry:
She felt…small. Smaller than she ever thought she could be for a young cub. It wasn’t like she had tried to get herself into trouble. She was just curious about what was outside the pride compound. Granted, she should have probably gotten permission first from her dad, but it wasn’t like she could change it now. What was done is done and now she had to face her father. As she looked up towards the towering figure of her father her ears fell flat against her head in shame. For her to not even live up to her name seemed to make this entire situation so much worse.

‘Nabihah you fool, you should have known better. You could have hurt your father so much if you had gotten hurt or killed,’ she chided herself.

“Nabi,” the young female heard her name being called from above her, “we need to talk.”

“Yes Papa,” she answered sulking forward with her tail tucked between her legs.

She wanted to show her Papa that she could be a daughter worthy of the name her father had bestowed upon her. So as she came over to him and sat beside him, looking into his wise and caring golden eyes, she swore she would. Nabihah would fulfill everything her family wanted, what her pride wanted, and do so with all the strength and intelligence she could muster. As she listened to her father speak, his soothing voice echoing in her ears, she couldn’t help but look up at the stars, smiling a bit, and feeling just a tad better.

Inspiration for the short scene.

Cub's name:Sagheerah juḥr
Name meaning:Thousand Holes
Short personality blurb: This cub like her parents in a way is a bit broken. She feels affected by her dads and moms lvoe for one another nd the fact her mom is not at piece in the pride.She is overly compassionate and always puts others before her own happiness. This makes other slike her but yet she struggles with herself. She also struggles with being an actual cub as she thinks she has to grow up faster then she should.
Future plans: I would love to see her face a deep challenge with her family or even herself and maybe like her mom question the pride. I'd also love to see if she could find love and how her parents would about him. Cause the male she falls in love with will be the one to hold her together. Also maybe a breaking point in her life where she decides she is better then this.
Your entry:
In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fright

Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah I suck d**k
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I'm just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave leading to my
Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power

I'ma shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was wilein on his mom's
And born child and he was the b*****d that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he's gots his own two sons
Tries to hide his tears in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Swoon over new young hot flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator
Laugh now alligator

Oh in a dream
My love came to me
And made me swear
That I'd keep what's sacred to me
And if I get the choice
To fill in his name
I'll pray my way through the rain
Singing, Oh happy day

I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another Western vampire different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love s**t
First kiss frog and princess

I'ma shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

Cub's name: Zaynah
Name meaning: beautiful in Arabic
Short personality blurb: Zaynah doesn't truly feel like she belongs in the pride. She feels like she is destined for greater things. It is terrible hard for her to sit still and do what she is told. She is obedient to her father and other males, however if she feels the need to she will question their actions. Occasionally, when she is around other females, she will speak her mind about how she feels the pride should change. As she gets older she will become more respectful toward the pride, though she will always feel like a misfit in the pride.
Future plans: I want her to find a pad who understands her and perhaps even take her outside the pride. She will never leave the pride, not wanting to leave her family.
Your entry: Picture (If it is okay I might edit the image just slightly. I just realized I screwed it up a bit...) Her Song
Do you own any U'W lions?: No, I do have one who will be coming in once she is an adolescent though.

Cub's name:
Na'ilah-Hessa
Name meaning:
Aquirer of Destiny
Short personality blurb:
Though seeming the demure, perfect Banu-to-be, the cub is very crafty. Beneath her quiet, loving, submissive exterior lies a female who knows how to utilize her feminine charm and wiles. She finds it a worthwhile pursuit, and the highest value she has is that of knowing when to speak, and how to say what one has to say.
Future plans:
She will start out as a Kajira of course. Even as a Kajira, however, she will be prepared to do what she must to become a Banu. Her sweet, obedient disposition will hopefully (by her plan) draw in a Pad with a small harem, since her ultimate goal in life is to become a Pad's Beybanu. Not liking the idea of staying at the Kajira stage, she will likely use whatever of her feminine charm she can to woo a Pad into taking her under his wing.

Once a Banu, her ambition will lie dormant, shown only in her small ways of flirting and turning a phrase, until she hopfully, eventually, becomes a Beybanu, though if she will or not, only plot and time will tell.

Your entry:
"O happiness enjoyed but of a few!
And, if possessed, as soon decayed and done
As is the morning silver-melting dew
Against the golden splendour of the sun!
An expired date, cancelled ere well begun:
Honour and beauty, in the owner's arms,
Are weakly fortressed from a world of harms.

Beauty itself doth of itself persuade
The eyes of men without an orator;
What needeth then apology be made,
To set forth that which is so singular?
Or why is Collatine the publisher
Of that rich jewel he should keep unknown
From thievish ears, because it is his own"
