Bio: Tsotsi is rarely trusting and prefers to stick things out on his own. He despises other males, especially hyenas. He loves girls of all types (maybe too much) due to the vague memories of the females in his birth pack always being loving and kind to him. Being on his own for most of his life has left him a bit on the socially awkward side, so despite his interest in females, he can't seem to find females who are interested in him. When meeting someone for the first time he'll act extremely flirty and cocky, or distant and awkward, but behind Tsotsi's shell of smirks and I'm-cooler-than-you attitude is a secret loneliness he desperately tries to hide. As a seer, his visions suck him into the past, usually when he becomes extremely agitated.
Bio: Ithemba likes to have a rather innocent outlook on life and can come across as naive at times. She's slightly laconic and enjoys taking her time in thinking about about what she says before she says it, and she speaks sort of slowly most of the time. This can leave someone with the impression that she's a bit slow in the head, however bright she actually is. She has quite a large build for her sex and tends to get self-conscious about that fact if a situation calls attention to it. She's an artist at heart and enjoys such crafts as clay sculpting and turning gemstones and rocks into jewelry (as well as her clumsy paws can manage). Overall, Ithemba is very sweet, but behind her lazy smile and small voice hides a plotting streak...
Bio: Enzi is easily startled by silly things, such as the sudden sound of a beetle flying into a rock, but he will instantly try to cover it up and look tough. This doesn't mean he's afraid to get his paws dirty or do some killing where killing is due. Maturity and time have turned Enzi into a strong leader, and he's not afraid of evil anymore. Enzi is a very sweet boy, albeit rather naive and innocent at times. He's friendly and gets along with mostly everyone. He enjoys the simple things in life, and often likes to lie on the grass and watch the clouds. Though sometimes he imagines the clouds are monsters, and he gets a little bit scared...

Bio: Like her name suggest, Nesibindi is very courageous. She's strong, brave, and doesn't take crap from anyone. She has a sharp tongue and speaks bluntly and to-the-point. When it comes to fighting, Nesi acts first and thinks later. She is Enzi's rock, but he cares for her most now in her old age.
Bio: With her off-beat personality and skillful dancing, Oboé is anything but ordinary. She tends to drift off into her own thoughts in the middle of a conversation, making others think she's spacing out when she's really just thinking a lot. It is unclear whether Oboé is extremely smart and calculating, or just very slow and odd. Without trying, Oboé draws people in and makes them interested. She loves a good joke and will certainly laugh at her own more than is normal. But hiding behind her lazy smiles is a pained loneliness caused by her twisted past. Oboé was once part of a circus-type troupe of leopards.Their easy-going way of life evolved into a much more serious kind and they began collecting orphaned leopards and training them to be performers. The roaming troupe happened upon the young Oboé and, charmed by her disinterested-yet-interested personality and bright-colored coat, they invited her to join them. She did. They trained her hard to become a dancer, forcing an extreme amount of knowledge on the subject into her mind, along with many other cubs they trained. If they did not do well or forgot what they had been taught, they were harshly punished. Over the course of many years Oboé got more and more talented in her performances and was getting the most attention out of everyone in the troupe. The other leopards were becoming quite jealous of her ever-growing fan base and began to see her as a threat. Her quirky, lazy personality was also getting to be too much to handle. The day came when they decided to exile Oboé from their troupe. Even Oboé's closest friends turned their backs on her to avoid conflict, which did much more damage to Oboé than the exile itself. Oboé was taken far away and left alone in the wilderness with her only true friend, a serval named Bevin, knowing nothing else but dancing. Now Oboé spends most of her days sleeping and not worrying much about anything, though in her heart is an empty space which can only be filled by performing. She never stays in one place for very long since she grew up constantly traveling. She is never seen without her dear friend Bevin.
Bio: Cool-headed and calm, Bevin's the one you want to talk to when you're having some issues in your life. Unfortunately it can be hard to tell if Bevin is really serious or not at all. He can be ambivalent and aloof around strangers, especially male strangers, especially if they're around Oboé. While many things surrounding Bevin are uncertain, one thing is sure: he is irrevocably in love with her. Bevin came from a family of about 20-something members. His mother and father, step mother, step father, step father's ex-mate, grandparents on both sides, aunts and uncles, and all of their kittens in between. Out of everyone in his family, Bevin was the one who just chilled in the background--the watcher, always getting the info on who did what and when. As he got older he began to crave being alone, secretly tired of his enormous family. There was little privacy where he lived and he wanted to meet people who were like him--calm and collected with a dark sense of humor--the opposite of his loud, emotional family. Bevin left when he reached adulthood and his family was loath to see him go, but he went regardless, not really caring if they would miss him or not. The serval set off by himself and traveled vast distances. He met many people he liked and many people he did not. He learned how to lie and trick others, how to get what he wanted, how to gain the trust of others easily, and how many different types of people there were in the world. Eventually, though, Bevin grew tired and bored. One night during his most boring hour, Bevin came across a wandering troupe of performing leopards. Curious, he joined the large crowd that had gathered to see what was going on. He found they were all watching the dance of a beautiful pink leopardess adorned with shining golden jewels and chains. Bevin became annoyed with how completely enchanted the dance made him feel, so he yelled out a few crude comments and choice words, stunning the audience as well as a few members of the troupe. The pink leopardess, however, was undeterred and continued to dance as if she had heard nothing at all. Intrigued, Bevin made plans to meet her after her performance. He did. Bevin introduced himself and he and the leopardess, who was named Oboé, chatted for a while. She was not at all what he expected and was a strange type of creature he had never encountered before on his travels. She seemed on the same wavelength as him, and for once in his life he felt truly content instead of bored. Oboé emitted an odd aura that made Bevin feel relaxed as if the world didn't matter. He decided to stay with her whether she wanted him to or not. He became something like her backstage hand, assisting her in costume, practice, appearance, and so on. Eventually he grew to be her closest friend, but unfortunately for Bevin, who came to love Oboé as more than a friend, he understood that was all he could ever be to her. When Oboé was exiled from the troupe, Bevin went with her, gaining himself Oboé's full and complete trust and friendship as a result. To this day Bevin secretly despises all of Oboé's new friends, especially males, and continues to stay by Oboé's side no matter what, secretly pining for her all the while.
Bio: A bit arrogant, loves to tease, and can be a jerk. But she really means well and generally likes everyone. She can come off as a bit of a brat, but she honestly doesn't care much of what people think. When Akina decides something, that's the way it's going to stay. If she decides you're her friend even though you hate her, too bad. Akina won't ever turn down a fight or a challenge, and she's a bit of a dare devil. Because of her rather hard personality, she has a bit of trouble making friends. To the friends she does have, she's quite the rough-houser, but loyal to a fault.
Bio: Very maternal and kindly, Ajili seems to treat everyone her age or younger with a motherly protectiveness. She'll never speak a single sour word in regards to anyone, no matter their rudeness or faults. She will fight for any cub with her life and dearly loves her son with all her heart. Though her beloved mate died during the great earthquake, Ajili never showed any sadness or weakness for her son's sake.
Bio: Sleeping all day and staying up at night; that's the life for Dhani, and she loves it. When she has to be awake in the day, Dhani is lazy and slow in speech, eyes half-lidded and nodding off every now and then. She seems uncaring and is very forgetful. But when the night comes, Dhani's eyes are bright with life and she is a chatter-box, blabbering on-and-on about nothing in particular, always spilling gossip and bothering everyone. She shares the same motherly outlook as her bonded, Ajili.
Bio: Like her name suggests, Tiriel has an observant nature and prefers to be an onlooker of a situation rather than get involved. While she's quiet in general, she's extremely shy around new people and would rather hide than introduce herself. In the past she's been described by others as demure and delicate--adjectives which she's grown to dislike. Her family raised her to believe that cheetahs are the superior race, and while she still silently believes this, she has begun to look upon hybrids with a more accepting eye in recent years.

Bio: Kauli is a polite, kind male who's looking out for you whether you're aware of it or not. He has a relaxed, forgiving temperament that usually shows, but when those he loves are truly threatened, Kauli can turn murderous with ease. Curious by nature, Kauli enjoys examining things and asking a lot of questions. If you tell him the ocean is salty, he'll taste it to see for himself. He loves life in all its forms and he would do absolutely anything for his children, a cub, or anyone in need. He's extremely compassionate and holds a sort of fatherly regard for everyone he meets. After being left by his mate, and watching his cubs grow up and go their separate ways, Kauli was left lonely and depressed. In his wanderings, he found himself at the ocean and felt at peace. He's called it home ever since. While he's still a kind-eyed male, there are times he gets into melancholy moods and goes off by himself until he can rouse out of it.

Bio: Possibly the only lisping mad-scientist in the entire savanna, Idili'su is one of a kind. Once can often find Idili'su off by himself experimenting with various ingredients and things he has found to make "potions" and poisons. Idili usually has no idea what his concoctions will result in, but that's half the fun in his eyes. Snake venom, bird spit, dirt, grass juice...He'll mix anything together to find out what it looks like and what effect it may have. And he's not above testing his potions on himself, either. It's in the name of science, after all. Idili'su is rather serious, never stopping for a relaxing break, and never cracking jokes. He's usually stern-faced with hard eyes and a strange, subtle twist of disgust on his maw. He can be manipulative if it means success in his endeavors, but never cruel or violent. He often treats everyone like children no matter what their age, as he sees himself as being very mature and above most other creatures. All these things accompanied by a lisp make Idili'su one of the strangest lions you'll ever meet. But he doesn't care if he can't say his own name right. He just wants to be left alone with his experiments.
Bio: Happy, sweet, bubbly, motherly, energetic. She's youthful and bouncy, compliments friends and strangers alike, and freely uses terms of endearment. She's just a happy soul. She takes the good and the bad with a broad smile and never, ever sees the dark side of things. She loves to play nurse and look after every living creature. She'll always ask how someone is feeling before starting a conversation, truly concerned with their well-being. Her favorite hobby is hole-digging. Being the last-born of her litter, she's extremely small. But with her size comes super-evasive moves and amazing speed. She loves to run and prance and race. If you race her it would be obvious to everyone that Baobab would win, but chances are she'd let you win out of kindness.
Bio: Sellion is insane. Perhaps the stupidest of his siblings, Sellion grew up believing that he was the most devious, evil being on the face of the earth. Though he has evil ideals and fantasizes about dark, destructive, hateful things, his way of thinking and acting is really quite dumb. Ever the comic-relief villain, if anyone he was plotting against approached him with a silver tongue and quick-wit, they could probably trick him into doing them a favor and he wouldn't realize what had happened until long after that person had gone. If anyone were to call him stupid, Sellion would probably laugh and tell them he enjoyed their sense of humor. Even if they insisted they weren't joking, he would still laugh, truly believing they're joking. However dim-witted he may seem, it wouldn't be wise to underestimate him due to his unpredictable and chaotic nature. Sellion is easily entertained and is a very simple cheetah, albeit quite disturbed. One minute he'll be giggling and prancing after a butterfly, and the next he'll be plotting how to kill it (and usually fail), which would probably lead him to wonder if mixing his blood with butterfly blood could summon a demon, and so on, until he may finally end up plotting how to murder the leopardess and her cub close by. Sellion's hair is mop of curly, matted mess. He attempts to make himself look more handsome around females and will often lick his paw and slick it through his hair to clean himself up, but will instead make himself appear even more dirty and disgusting. He's not a very hygienic cheetah, to say the least. He's obsessed with demons and demon lions, and shivers with glee at the mere thought of them. He believes he is a demon, and is slowly gathering "members" for his cause, hell-bent on ruling the world. When Sellion was young, his family was slaughtered by lions (who Sellion believed were demons due to his father's teachings) except for him and his older sister, Chana. Chana later died during a brush fire. While Sellion was already disturbed, this pushed him even more beyond the point of no return, and it also started his obsession with demons and hell, for he was convinced the brush fire was hellfire and it had consumed Chana, taking her to the underworld to become a true demon. Now Sellion wants nothing more than to prove himself worthy to the demons so that they will come and make him a demon and bring him to his sister. In essence, all Sellion wants is to die--specifically, die in a fire. Due to his extreme pyrophobia, however, this is pretty much impossible. When he sees (or envisions) fire, he runs away screaming in terror.
Bio: Hard as nails with a street sense just as sharp. She has no patience for immaturity or tomfoolery (unless you're a cub), but she can get along decently with most everyone else. Unless you make fun of her penchant for flower-collecting. Then you're dead meat.

Though she can appear rough at times, Betoto has a deep sense of compassion and knows how to make someone feel better when they're sad.
