Character Notes:
- An elderly lioness, born before Matifu's era began, she has seen the rise and fall of many Abaholi, and lived through perilous events. One of these events even scarred her leg, forcing her to walk with a pronounced limp. A well-respected member of the pride, she is no longer in such high standing following a tryst with a rogue male during the end of Bangizwe and Andhaka's era that left her pregnant. Illness fatigue, and a hyena attack complicated the already high-risk pregnancy as she was old by the time she became pregnant. All of these events took a toll on her. The birth of her cubs nearly took her life, but with the work of the Imbiza, she was simply left infertile. Not that this fact bothers her too greatly, already old enough to be a grandmother. Only one of her three cubs survived, a pale daughter with dark, striped legs whom she named Ubukhosi, royalty.
- Uphaphe's story is often told as a cautionary tale, used by lionesses to try and discourage the younger lionesses from straying from the pride's available male.
- She has two sisters, Nozipho and Khanyisile, both of them were Cinga and have since passed away. The feathers she wears around her neck belonged to her sisters' vultures, two from each of their birds, as a way to remember and continually honor them. The white feather is one she found to even them out. The only other family she has is her daughter, Ubukhosi, and Nozipho's daughter, Nonhlanhla.
- Motherly and wise, Uphaphe walks with the gait of someone who knows where she stands in the world, despite her limp. She holds pride in herself and while she accepts her life being used as a lesson for others, she also has zero regret in her choices. In her eyes, what’s done is done, and she has grown from the experience, making her a better person in the long run. With her old age, she moves through life at a slower pace now, content to instead observe, caution and comfort others within her pride. She understands her daughter’s insistence at wandering, though she would prefer she stay closer to her, and while she does not actively stop her, she does often hint at wishing she stay closer to home than she has been. It has led to a terse ness between them that has been left relatively unspoken. Uphaphe fears that she will one day pass without her daughter there beside her side, though she has never admitted this to Ubukhosi.
-Edits are not inheritable. (she's infertile anyway though)
