Shani

Gender: Female
Age: 3 years
Species: African Lion
Pride: Lowlanders
Rank: Adolescent

Appearance: Shani has a coat of light brown, which was unique among her kind. Her coat easily camouflages her in the dark. Along her underside, the coat is a very pale yellow colour that matches her muzzle. The tuft at the end of her tail is also the brown of her coat.
Around her eyes, the brown is a caramel colour. Everything about her looks find, except for the scar running along her side.

Personality: Shani is very out-going and loving. She is rarely serious, only when she needs to be, and she would rather play around then discuss important matters that interest others. She is protective of her pride, though she is one of the youngest in it, and she loves all. One thing that can set this playful lionesses teeth on edge is a lion who thinks he is better than everyone else. Or anyone who thinks they are better than everyone else, for Shani is an equal, loving, playful lioness and does not appreciate in-fairness.

Family: Unknown
History: When Shani was born, she can remember endless plains to frolic in, a whole bunch of cubs that looked just like her except for a few different markings to play with, and a caring mother who loved her. She remembers a big brother who used to tease her, but it is all hazy. In her original pride, all of the lions and lionesses were brown.
Something she remembers clearly, something that haunts her dreams is the fire. She can remember it burning all around her as her mother edged her away to safety, across a large river that she struggled to get across. She can remember being ushered away with one other cub and a lioness, and when she turned back her mother was being consumed by the fire.
Shani still holds a scar from where a lion who caused the fire due to jealousy had scratched her when attempting to capture her, the other lioness and the other cub. Since then, Shani has held a fear of fire.

Rp Sample: The young lionesses tail twitched as she felt a growl building up in her throat. The lime green lizard with a yellow dot resting on the top of its head was un-suspecting of what was to happen next, wandering along as it minded its own business. Shani's chocolate coloured coat shivered with anticipation as she crouched down low, feeling the soft ground beneath her feet. She studied her prey carefully, waiting until it had turned to catch another bug before she soared through the air with an almighty growl and clapped her paws down on top of it. Keeping one paw firmly on its tail, whilst the other paw released it to reveal the struggling lizard. Shani growled at it in a way of also saying 'Sucess!'
