CHARACTER PAGE: /lion_kin ... 26073.html

Okay guys I got another contest for ya'll! This time concerning my character Ikeena. He's also going to be a part of a lion pride, and I want you guys to help me form this pride!

What I have in mind is this scenario: Ikeena travels as a rogue for some time before crossing paths with a lioness (yes LIONESS) pride. There is no lion in charge (for whatever circumstance, he died, ran off, whatever, not important!), however Ikeena is welcomed into the pride, and because he is a lion he is immediately placed in the position as leader of the pride.

I ALSO want someone to create a lead lioness for the pride. She will become Ikeena's favorite mate. I have no problems with her personality, though I'm kind of looking for a lioness who'll have a love/hate relationship with Ikeena.

WHAT IS A LION PRIDE? A lion pride consists of one male and several females, who pretty much consistent of family members (sisters, aunts, mothers, etc...) and cubs. The male lion mates with the females in the pride to ensure having cubs with his genetic lineage. If the pride is taken over by another male, the new male in charge will kill cubs fathered by the other male. Lionesses cannot join a pride because the other lionesses will reject this lioness from joining them.

... so yeah, not the kid-friendly way it was in The Lion King. I want this pride to be realistic as real lion prides are.


RULES:

1) Read the 'WHAT IS A LION PRIDE' excerpt because that is definitely important for this topic!
2) The lionesses must be related by blood!
3) CANNOT BE A PART OF ANOTHER FAMILY TREE. Ikeena is part of Judas's family tree, and he is also the son of Ni. A picture of the current family tree will be posted below
4) REALISTIC COLORING. Red/black/sparkle-colored lionesses are UNACCEPTABLE
5) No fursonas >.>


Aaaaaaand... that's it!

OH! I will be choosing five/six lionesses for the winners. So everyone has a chance! :3

Seems very interesting. I'll be sure to enter a lion into this. Its not everyday I see a realistic lion Pride.

Thank you so much!

(I will send a bio picture soon, if that's alright?)

Name: Ariella
Related to Enu and Baako: Sister
Age: 4
Personality: Ariella is silent and a bit withdrawn, not like her sister Enu. Ariella is shy, and tends to hang out with only a few lioness's at a time. When she's not sleeping, or hanging out with a few close friends, she'll hunt. She usually does this by herself, taking the smaller prey to kill, because she knows if she tried to tackle a larger target, it would be difficult all by herself. All and all, Ariella is a nice lioness to know, yet not the most talkitive.
History: (I can change the history around if you want me to) Ariella was heartbroken when her father died and upset when her mother left, but instead of talking it out, she tried to sort it out in her mind and thought about it most when she was hunting. Other lionesses tried to tell Ariella that they were sorry for Enu, Baako, and her, but she didn't want sympathy and chose to ignore their words. Ariella still has greif in her heart, but, over the years she has learned how to fight it
off so she can continue to operate for the Pride.
Parents: Same as Baako and Enu.
Cubs: None.
Mate: None
Crush: None

The bio is good, and yes you can send in the picture later. The one thing I would like to say is that their father did die but only after he was overthrown and kicked out of the pride. So there's no way of Ariella knowing that he died.

Thank you, and oh, alright, I'll edit that in then. Sorry 'bout that!

It's alright! xD

Also

BUMP

Bump? XD

I wish to enter two Dakota if thats okay because i have two designs and i couldn't choose between them xD

Name: Eshe

Meaning: Life

Relation to Baako and Enu: Elder cousin. Baako and Enu's mothers sister's daughter. ( I Know confusing xD)

Age: 4-5 years old

Personality: Abit to serious on life and is known for thinking ahead of things before jumping into action. She is made to look very innocent but can be abit devious as well. She is kind to other creatures lower then her and loves cubs though she can't picture herself being a good mother. She is not fond of flirting males and is known to be a fighter if one annoys her to much either male or females.

History: Eshe's mother was a member of Baako and Enu's father's pride and when Eshe was born she grew abit of a bond with Enu and Baako but more Enu on the count she cared alot more about the where abouts of her family. Eshe's mother left the pride with Eshe on the count her mother mated with a rouge lion about a week or two after she was born but Enu's mother said Eshe was welcomed back at any time. When she turned four she returned to the pride to find Enu and Baako worried about there sick father who wasn't doing to well. Baako and Enu's mother welcomed Eshe back to the pride where she tried to keep her cousins spirits high although she didn't really have to try much with Baako. About a year went by when when Judas showed up and fought for the pride winning easily and right away Eshe didn't like him and found that what he did was wrong, she felt even more terrible when her aunt left not wanting to be in a pride where her mate wasn't there.

As the months dragged on and Baako and Enu both became mates to Judas which in someway shocked and sickened Eshe at the thought but she knew it was only because they needed more cubs for the pride but refused any advance from Judas which she could tell he was not happy about lucky for her Enu and even Baako kept Judas occupied so Eshe wouldn't get into trouble.

Other: The scars and Torn ear were injuries she got when she left with her mother for 3 years.

(Hope this history is okay Dakota XD)


Name: Jira

Meaning: Related By Blood

Age: 3

Relation to Enu and Baako: Youngest Sister

Personality: Is really playful and innocent will believe in just about anything someone tells her. Naive and gets emoitonal easily. She is known to be a real suck up to just about anyone. Jira is also too trusting of others which can be dangerous for her and her family. She believes in love and trust although she was more raised on her mothers kindness then on her fathers judgement but she was also known to be daddies little girl.

History: Jira was the last cub ever born by Baako and Enu's mother and father. She wasn't exacly born the healthiest infact she was a runt. A frail and pale runt who was taken care of greatly by her elder sisters and cousin, Jira grew more attatched to her mother as she grew up and was saddened when her mom left the pride. She wanted to go with her mother but her mom insisted she stay with her sisters to be taken care of instead of going out with her and possibly starving herself. Jira watched as her mother left and Judas took over the pride and since then she grew close to Enu and Baako and tried to spend as much time with them as possible which eventually changed her mood. She was still innocent but she had abit of an attitude without realizing it. She grew to like Judas but wasn't sure why he took over the pride but respected him almost like she respected her father too.

She is now a 3 year old lioness who is one of her pride's solo hunters. She perfered to hunt alone and felt she could show off her true talent but she never said no to Enu or Eshe's company or help when it came to hunting in a group. She never was one who liked help but grew use to it as she grew up.

(Is this okay too Dakota..?)

Claire --> Thank you for entering! xD Both bios are acceptable!

UPDATE: I have now added Baako and Enu's parents to the list!
