Baset

Gender:
Age: Three and a half years
Species: African Lion
Pride: Ashlands
Rank: Adult (Possibly Lead Huntress in the future?)

Appearance: Baset is a Pridelands lioness through and through. She has a strong, stocky stature with a thick, muscular body and powerful legs. Her face is boxy, with a blunt muzzle and a soft pink nose. The lower half of her "eye shades" is a dark brown, topped off with a lighter hue. Her ears are ringed with black much like Sarabi, and her tail tuft carries a similar hue. Baset's fur is slightly scruffy and a brilliant golden tawny color with a lighter belly and paws, bearing much resemblance to the past royal family of the Pridelands. Whether or not there is any common heritage there, it has long since been forgotten.

Personality: Baset is a loud, boisterous and friendly lioness. She's the gal that always seems to know the goings-on and what's hip-happening. She's very outgoing and does not hesitate to greet another lion and strike up a conversation. She's a bit brash and at times her aggressive nature can be a bit overbearing, but her heart is in the right place.

Baset is impulsive and has a temper that can flare up at any minute, and because of her strong stature, she is not wary of physical confrontation. This can be a problem at times, because Baset believes so strongly in her convictions and is not likely to give up on her beliefs. She is bullheaded and stubborn, but will back down if it would hurt someone she cares about. The golden lioness is hard working and loyal, but utterly uninterested in finding a mate or rearing cubs at the moment. She likes them, thinks they're cute, but they move too slowly for her liking.

Family: n/a - Open to interpretation!!
History: Baset was born into the Pridelands, a few seasons ahead of the former prince Simba and his playmate Nala. She grew up happy and well, going on adventures with her four brothers and bat-eared fox friend or occasionally "chaperoning" the younger cubs on their quests. It was always Baset's dearest dream to become the lead huntress in the pride, and she idolized the queen, Sarabi. When Scar broke the news of the king and his young son dying in the stampede, she was astonished and heartbroken along with the rest of the pride. She never interacted much with Scar, so she was not wary of the new king at first, though she did miss Mufasa.

Soon after Scar's takeover, Baset began hunting. She stared early for her age and showed a great aptitude for it. Hunting and training began taking up a great portion of her time as the golden cub became a golden lioness. Many of the pride's lionesses were very glad to have her on their hunting party, though they were not the only ones to take notice to her skill. As Baset aged, she began receiving more and more male attention, particularly from the king himself. Disgusted, Baset became more and more scarce, before leaving the Pridelands all together.

She hadn't quite reached full adulthood, but she managed to survive as she wandered throughout the lands, searching for another pride. She came upon the Ashlands after a great deal of searching, and after meeting the kindly king, Baset joined right away. The kind older male was a welcome relief from the harsh treatment that Scar ruled his pride with. Now Baset happily resides within the Ashlands, welcoming any new members that come and go, assisting with border upkeep, and of course, hunting.
