Malka

Gender: Male
Age: 3 years
Species: African Lion
Pride:
Rank: Rogue

Appearance: Muscles ripple beneath the golden orange pelt of the large male lion, he is well-toned and strong in build due to a harsh childhood in the rugged mountain terrain. His most unique feature are black tufts on the tips of his ears, a trait he has had since birth. It is assumed he inherited his ears from his father, but has never met the lion. His thick, shaggy mane is two-toned, a rich earthy shade of brown with patches and streaks of black splashed in. Eyes are a bright orange shade, with black brows arched above. His nostrils are light pink, his last remaining cub-like trait that will remain with him until the end. His visage is one of general disarray, with mane unkempt, wild and messy.

Personality: As an only child, Malka had the constant affection and attention of his mother, who thought her son was the world. Due to this, Malka is very confident, bordering on arrogant, and believes firmly that he will succeed as a loner. Strong-willed, he has never liked to be told what to do, preferring to march to the beat of his own drummer instead. As a cub, he would become scared when he wandered off and found himself alone, but he has worked hard to overcome his fears. Now, he is daring, sometimes too daring, but Malka always manages to find a way out of trouble.

Emotionally distant, Malka does not see the use in becoming attached to others. He has seen death and despair, and finds it advantageous to remain on his own. The lifestyle can become lonely, but he is still young and has yet to realize the pitfalls of a life spent alone. He remembers the Pridelands with fondness, and it represents a happier, more innocent time in his life. Though years have passed, he can still recall the names of all his old friends, from Simba to Tama to Nala. He is aware of the demise of Mufasa and Simba, and though he has never met Scar, he hates the tyrant, and has no desire to cross paths with the new king.

Family: Father: Unkown. Mother: Shika
History: Malka was born to a lioness in a mountain pride, not far from the Pridelands. He was the only surviving cub in his litter, his mother's pride and joy. She lavished him with attention, in a slightly over-protective way. Prone to wandering, little Malka often got lost from his pride, and though he was very fearful of being lost forever, he continued to challenge himself. On his journeys, he found the Pridelands, led at the time by Mufasa, who was very kind to the lost cub. He and Simba were about the same age, and after some tension, the two became close friends. Malka enjoyed playing with all the other cubs in the Pridelands, but his mother came to fetch him time and time again. She began to watch him like a hawk to keep him from wandering away, and as Malka grew, he began to resent her constant presence. He dreamt of a life lived free of connections, without anyone to worry about or to worry about him.

As soon as the lion was old enough to leave his pride, Malka left to live the life of a vagabond, like the father he never knew. Though life on his own proved difficult, Malka was well fit for life as a rogue, since a young lifetime spent in the mountains had created a strong, sturdy physique. He now travels through neutral territories, and as more time passes, survival becomes more second nature to the lion. He is known as a flirt amongst lionesses, which more often leads to trouble than any fun for the young adult. Overall, he is enjoying his life, even when prey is scarce, because he can go wherever he pleases. He relishes his freedom and pities lions who are tied down by families and responsibilities.
