Quote: Name: Benoni
Gender: Male
Relations: Niobe
Rank: King
Mate: Tequila
Skills: A remarkable hunter, Benoni can always be found among a hunting party. Helping it or leading it. Protective of those around him, he is always ready to defend another. Finally making his own way, he's find himself among the top fighters of the land, ready to battle for those among his pride, hes silent but his eyes speak words he does not vocalize.
History: Unknown, wont speak of it.
Personality: Distant, Gruff and Protective.
Image: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b217/DisappearingFaerieTales/Pride Land/Mine/male012cert.jpg Quote: Name: Niobe
Gender: Female
Relations: Benoni
Rank: Lady
Mate: Cayimmi
Skills: Niobe, like her brother is a fine hunter. But she'd rather spend her day under a tree, thinking of cures for ailements. She's wise in the area of herbs and such things, but she'd never take the rank of shaman.
History: Born the older twin of Benoni, a close tight bond held the pair together. As did a couple of horrific things. Having lost her first mate to an another female, she's started to become more reserved, silent in her ways. A sweet sorrow seemed to engulf the once delightful young lioness.
Personality: Broken, Betrayed.

Quote:
Name: Mandolin
Gender: Male
Relations: None
Rank: Lead Warrior
Mate: none yet
Skills: A good hunter, a fighter like no other, wise beyond his years, calm in most situations
History: He had been chased out of his old pride by the king who saw him as a threat to his crown. The warriors listened to him in that pride more then the king so in a way he was a threat. He never ment to be though. He has journeyed far and has learned much along his way. His young eyes have seen more then most lions see in their whole lives. Now he hopes to find a new life and a new pride.
Personality: He is honorable and valiant. He would gladly give his life for another if he sees that they are in the right. He in not afraid of anything not even the future and death. What he likes above all else is putting smiles on others' faces. Quote:
Name: Mai
Gender: Female
Relations: None
Rank: Hunt Sister
Mate: None
Skills: Seeming to take a hint from zebras, her stripped coat helps her blend in with the grasses, breaking up the outline of her form, making it easier to hide from her prey. Not the fastest lioness, her quick wits usually make up for it. Whilst she may be submissive to a fault, when she knows she's in the right, she'll usually stand up for what's right.
History: A loner, Mai's mother is really the only other lion she knew much. Other lions were things seen only from afar, or up close when times were hard or the weather cold and the older lioness saught the company of others. But at times like then, she was barely tolerated, and kept to the fringe. No male had wanted her to stay, for there had been a certain aura around her.... So on she'd gone, from place to place, pride to pride, like so much driftwood in the river. Mai'd never known a real home, a place to call her own, and may be rusty in the ways of a pride. But after the death of her mother, she'd had to learn to hunt on her own, to survive. And to make it harder? She'd been left partially deaf as the result of an accident as a cub.
Personality: A bit on the shy side, and a little... Wary of other lions. Her own experiences haven't been bad, but... Neither have they been amazingly good. Taking her cues from her mother, Mai's rather submissive in the face of authority.... Or someone who seems to be in authority, espescially when she doubts herself. But underneath is a sweet lioness who's only aiming to please, though an unkindled spark of hatred lies beneath it all.

 Quote: Name: Cayimmi
Gender: Male
Relations: N/A
Rank: Cub
Mate: N/A
Skills: Annoying others with his cockyness. More seriously, Cayimmi is an unusually strong cub, though he prefers to make use of his legs than to comfront anyone directly.
History: Cayimmi was kinda the oddball of his litter. Despite being the one who stood out the most, he was commonly looked down upon for the roughness he displayed when playing with his siblings and the other cubs, sometimes injuring them, even if lightly. Still, he turned it to his favor, gainning his most ingrained personality trait: his cockyness. It was this same mindset that induced quite the odd happening. Cayimmi left his parents' pride on his own will, marching away and saying he was too good for them. And he was going to prove all of them he was right.
Personality: Loudmouth, spoiled, annoyingly stubborn. Sometimes the shell breaks though, and a more fluffy side shows. But veeery rarely, so much most will never see it surface...
Image: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/MysticMeadows/Pride Lands/FR13 folder/Cayimmi2.jpg Quote: Benoni's thoughts: I rather enjoy this young cubs company. He is a great asset to the pride.
Quote: Name: Galatea Gender: Female Relations: N/A Rank: Cub Mate: N/A Skills: She does as she's told without protest, and is capable of moving around so silently, you'd hardly guess she was even there. When she gets older, this could be beneficial to hunting. Unfortunately, that aside, she doesn't really -have- any skills at the moment. History: To be detailed later within my journal, Galatea herself is (for the time being) incapable of relaying her past to anyone. The most known is that though she wasn't born that way, somewhere along the line, she lost the ability to speak -- or is she just afraid? Personality: Too young and naive to be an adult, ripped from the fun loving and carefree mindset every kit should have their right to, Galatea lingers awkwardly in a silent, fearful world all her own.

Her sweet and playfull nature makes everyone smile. History: Her family left her all alone one day and never came back. No one knows what happened to them. Angel survived on her own by stealing food from other lions. Personality: Playfull, Kind and Caring Image: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b217/DisappearingFaerieTales/Pride Land/Flatsales/Angel.png Quote: Benoni's thoughts: Unknown

His black claws dug into the hard earth, these lands he'd staked out were between the grasslands, and savannah. He'd found a cave, it had once been engulfed with water when the land was young. He shook out his black mane, and glanced around, he'd marked and claimed his lang as his own, snorting he glanced at the cave. It hadnt seen water in many years, and he knew it never would again, but it was large in size, large enough to hold many lions. Many smaller, den like rooms branched off on the outter area of the cave.
The river wasnt to far away either, this was a good place to him. He ran his pale colored tongue over his muzzle as he glanced around once more. Nodding his head, he took his place at the mouth of the cave. The game was good, the weather would be easy to fend off. And it was his. That was all the matter to him, lifting his jaws towards the sky, he let out a might roar that sent the birds fleeing from the trees. His roar grew louder, he claimed his land. It was his!
Her delicate form slipped up besides the male, she glanced at her brother and nodded her head. Indeed this area would be good for a pride, he'd choosen well. Lots of herbings grew not to far away for her to play with. And well, she trusted his sense in these things.
She stood next to her brother, as he was King. It was rightfully her place to be princess, was it not? She assumed that was how things were ran. Lifting her muzzle towards the sky as well, she let out a loud, and yet very delicate roar. She too would be protecting these lands with her life. Slowly her roar died out, as she licked her maw she nodded her head and stretched out her front paws and dug them into the earth.

Not too far away, into the savannah... a purple and orange speck ran for his dear life. A trio of badly intended hyenas pursued the young male, laughing as they toyed with him. After all, the exercise was just the appetiser...
"Come on kiddo, don't run away! We're just gonna stain your pretty pelt with your own blood while those pretty feathers of yours get ripped under our claws..." one shot at him, it's chilling laughter sending a shiver down the cub's spine. "Yeah, it's the law of nature lad. Eat or get eaten. And we can't have anymore competition ya see... It's a tough call, really..." another mocked.
He was really seeing his life flashbacking before his eyes, predicting his end. "I'm too precious to die today! What will become of the world without me?" he winced, seeing six lines of hungry teeth getting closer. "Surely a better place!"
They had reached the river, too large to stone-step or swim for either sides, so the pursuit continued along the shore. A drenched ground, followed by the random rock, and the purple youngster rolled on the mud, left exposed to the enemy. However, in a twist of fate, a mighty roar reached the hyenas' ears, as well as the cub's. Confusion immediately burst between the pursuers...
"Oh crap, it's the parents, for sure!"
"I didn't know there was a pride here..."
"Who cares, let's get out of here before they find us!"
"Yeah!"
"And leave our meal behind?"
"Better our meal than our meat!"
"Yeah!"
The two more reticent hyenas put their tails between their legs and ran for their lives as a more delicate, definitely female, roar echoed around. "We're outta here!" they whined, running as fast as they could, while the remaining one watched them flee. "Cowards!"
The small lion's thoughts, however, were of another range. He knew his parents' roars, and they weren't like that. Whoever it was, though, he could just pray they'd see him and come to help. While he was at that...
"Yo, ugly!" he called the hyena, standing back on his feet.
"You're not so tough now you're alone, yeah?"
"You annoying brat!" The hyena raised it's paw, ready to claw the cub hard.

She'd watched most the chase from atop a boulder, her tail flicked as she leaped down. Her dark smokey colored coat weaved through the tall grass until she then stood behind the hyena as it raised its paw.
With a wink towards the cub, she raised her own paw, silvery claws sliced through the air as she dug her paw into the hyena's hide. She growled now, the fur on her back stood on ends as her tail sliced through the air.
Her head lowered downwards, her dark lavender eyes danced as she awaited a response. This was going to be interesting. Benoni was busy scouting other parts of the land, so she'd have to deal with this.

The scent of the land was crisp and new. Moving along with the sun shining down on his pelt, Mandolin stopped when he noticed the smells of other lions. Maybe this is a place he could live with them. He let out a roar infoming them that he was there and would stay still until he was given leave to speak with the king.

The roar had caught his attention, he wipped his head around. He'd just returned from scouting the land, and was about to call out for Niobe when the roar interupted. Already they were coming, he thought as he trotted out towards the outrim of the land.
His well toned, and taunt muscles rippled under his coat as he approached the other male, his pale lavender eyes scanned over him breifly as he paused on his side. " I am King here, what is your claim.." He asked as he held his head high.
