THE BIO
Biography: Nila had an interesting childhood. Her father was a thief and a scoundrel, while her mother was kind and helpful. Somehow, Nila managed to get the best of both worlds, learning the art of treasure hunting from her father while adopting the charitable attitude of her mother. Nila immediately took a shine to the life of adventure, and as soon as she had the chance, she left her parents and never looked back. She spent much of her adolescent life exploring, and by the time she had hit adulthood, Nila had a map in her head of all the perfect caves to mine gems. The cheetah spends much of her time now running back and forth between the caves and her clients.

Personality: Nila is a hyper, bubbly, airhead who has a short attention span and a serious addiction to shiny things. Living for the adrenaline rush, Nila makes her living as an adventurer and a treasure seeker. She never stays in one place for too long before heading out again, but there are locations she frequents in between her journeys. Very friendly and outgoing, no one is a stranger to this cheetah. She can quickly annoy those who prefer peace and quiet, but Nila never means any harms. Heck, if she has any jewelry on her you can expect to walk away with a gift or two. The only thing loves more than the sparkle of a gem is the sparkle of happiness in someone else's eyes. You might think it would hurt or treasure-hunting business, but she's not in it for the monetary rewards. She's just in it for the fun.

Pride: Myrsky Syntynt
Rank: Lawspeaker

THE MISC
Likes: Learning, Knowledge, History, Thralls
Dislikes: Bullies, Most reavers, His brother, Violence
Skills: Memory, Intelligence, Wit, Manipulation

THE BIO
Biography: Born to a Freeborn mother and an unknown father who never claimed the litter, it was Stigtyr's mother that taught the cubs how to fight. Or at least tried. Stigtyr could never get the hang of it, quickly outshadowed by his brother and sister. He was picked on my other cubs for not knowing how to fight, and soon Stigtyr gave up all together.
As an adolescent, he became aware of some of the problems in the pride, including a ban on female reavers and the mistreatment of many thralls. He became very passionate about these issues, though quickly learned to keep his mouth shut around others, as his attempts to discuss them with his peers resulted in him getting beat up. After a nasty scuffle with his brother that left him scarred and partially blind, Stigtyr lamented the fact that he would never be a Reaver and make his mother proud. But it was short-lived, as he realized that he could do much more good for the pride by pursuing and developing his intellectual prowess, and became an apprentice under Law Speaker Torbjorn. Now with a new title under his belt, Stigtyr is looking to make sure his position stays secure, and perhaps get revenge on his brother once and for all.

Personality: Not your typical Stormborn, Stig really isn't one for fighting. He isn't very good at it and unless he finds someone to whip his nerdy-butt into shape, he probably never will be. Despite his quiet personality, Stig is a BIG lion, and his size is usually enough to ward off any challengers. Years of being bullied have made him quite cunning and sharp with his words, and he is able to talk his way out of most situations.
Holding the sanctity of life in high regard, the cruel treatment of by some of the thralls in the pride rubs him the wrong way. Never mean to a thrall and his nose always in a scroll, Stigtyr has been called flower-blooded so many times that he's started to take it as a compliment. Though he isn't able to hold his own in battle very well, there are other ways to skin a hare. Stigtyr's strength lies in his connections. With an ear always pressed to the rumour mill, this Lawspeaker doesn't need brute strength to take somebody down.

Dislikes: Blood, Violence, Being alone
Skills: Plant/insect identification, Hugging

THE BIO
Biography: Raised in the Bonelands, Ifu thrived under the attention of his mother and all his aunts. He loved having other cubs to play with and spent his days sniffing flowers or looking at bugs. He never dreamed of ever having to be alone, always the most comfortable sleeping right in the middle of the pile. He stressed greatly over the prospect of having to leave the pride, and eventually realized that he would find no greater happiness than staying with his family. After pledging his oath, Ifunci proudly joined the ranks of the Ehluke and now spends his days hunting and babysitting.

Personality: Taking after his aunt, Ifunci is an air-headed, happy go lucky little man who doesn't need much else in life besides good food and good cuddles. He dotes on all the cubs within the pride and is always happy to take charge of the little ones when their mothers need a break. All sense of fighting and violence seems to be lost on him, and he is very frightened of conflict. Despite his cowardice, Ifunci does fret over his pint-sized pride members, and has had rare moments of bravery when a cub was in trouble.
Due to his small size, Ifunci is fast on his feet and extremely light-footed.
Though he lacks the strength to take down large prey, Ifunci is excellent with the chase, and can run down even the swiftest of prey. Just don't expect him to go near those scary horns.

Rank: n/a

THE MISC
Likes: Nice people, Food, Having friends, Quiet
Dislikes: Fighting, Hunger, Loud Noises
Skills: Tracking, Basic First Aid

THE BIO
Biography: Separated from her mother early on, Cheza was raised by a series of scavengers. She lived a hard life, constantly being attacked and chased off by others, but the few nice people she met kept her hopes up about the world.
Her adulthood has gone much of the same, and Cheza has never really found a place to settle down. A series of horrible experiences has begun to darken her view of the world. A leopard she fell in love with was killed by a lion that had become obsessed with her, and Cheza was forced to raise a litter of leopons by herself. She wanders the roguelands with her daughter, Kufumii, trying to find a place to call home.

Personality: Cheza is a sweet, loving gal. She was separated from her family at an early age and raised herself in the roguelands by following scavengers around and learning their ways. She doesn't know how to hunt and most of her experiences with others consist of other scavengers chasing her off from carcasses. She's gotten beat up a number of times, but despite that she tries to keep a positive outlook on life. Cheza does love the company of others and tries to see the best in people.
Loner life is hard on her though, and sometimes she can get very down without having someone to talk to every now and then. She keeps getting attacked by others and is starting to lose faith in the world. Cheza wants to think that people are, in general, quite nice, but the lack of evidence in her experiences is starting to cause some severe mental strife. She's becoming more quiet and more to herself than she originally was, and it causes her even more grief when she reflects upon this.

Dislikes: Rules, Being held back, Staying in one place, Losing
Skills: Dancing, Fighting, Dexterity, Charm

THE BIO
Biography: Raised by his mother, Lume was taught the art of dancing along with his other siblings. When his brother and sister dispersed, Lume stayed behind to stay with Rio. When his mother became pregnant again soon after, Lume helped raise that litter, bonding especially close with his little sister Pinta and convinced her to stay when the others once again left.
His restless tendencies got the better of him, and after a fight with his family, Lume got into some trouble which resulted in a head injury and amnesia. He's trying to discover himself and where he came from, all the while unaware that his mother and sister are searching for him.

Personality: Lume is your typical rebellious bad boy. He loves attention and thinks he is well deserving of it. His favourite thing to do is show off and his favourite conversation topic is himself. Lume thinks he's hot sh*t and has no sense of modesty or humility about him. The world revolves around him, and he will through a fit if he isn't the center of attention. The only thing that can remotely tone him down is his family, his mother and sister, but not even they do a good job of it. He really does love them, but he's a little too self-centered to show his affection.
Lume is huge ladies man, as well as a man's man, and will flirt with everyone he comes across. It doesn't even matter if their mate is right there with them. Lume will still turn his charm on. He doesn't believe he's fertile, so he has no issues with having one night stands everything single night (if only he could).
Apart from hitting on people, Lume loves anything dangerous. He loves tormenting rhinos and elephants into chasing him, taunting strangers into fights, jumping on zebras like a bull rider, base jumping, any manner of crazy stunts that can get his heart rate up.
In the rare times that he's alone, Lume still practices his dancing, the ancient art of his family. He pretends that he doesn't like it, claiming it cramps his style, but in truth it's the one thing he's actually passionate about.

THE BIO
Biography: Shari had a relatively normal childhood. However, it was the normalness that drove her crazy. Rebellious and hard-headed, Shari began acting out at a very early age, her incidents increasing with intensity and frequency. Eventually she was kicked out of her pack for being too much of a trouble maker and has been on her own ever since.

Personality: Shari is a troublemaker. She gets what she wants and is very eager to fight if she doesn't get it. A vicious killer if she needs to be, Shari has no problem taking a life if she needs to, and sometimes even takes enjoyment in it. Every battle scar is a proud trophy of her strength and triumph, and Shari welcomes any chance to gain more.
A survivalist, Shari knows that life isn't fair. She has no sympathy for those who suffer and believes in the mantra of every person for themselves. Not an ounce of nurturing in her body, she is more likely to put someone out of their misery rather than help them. Even if she ever produces pups, Shari will hold no love for them.
