History: Shaka`s mother was a part of a pride near Simba`s.She had an affair with a rouge lion and become pregnant with him.The rouge didn`t know anything about her pregnancy.The king of the lioness` pride told the lioness that if her cub is a girl,she and her cub can stay in the pride,but if it was a boy,he cannot stay in the pride.The lioness was upset and prayed her cub will be a girl.                                                                One stormy night,the lioness gave birth.It was a boy.She was terryfied.She immediatley ran away from the pride to her rouge sister and brother-in-law.They didn`t like her,but she had to,she had nowhere to go.Running on the storm weakened her,and she gave birth couple of hours ago.Weak and tired,she finnally came.Her sister wasn`t happy,but she saw her sister was on the verge of death.The lioness knew she was gonna die,so she begged her sister to take care of her cub.Her sister didn`t want to take care of the cub,she was enough with hers,but she accepted.The lioness soon died,and her sister was left with another cub.Her mate wasn`t very happy,so didn`t her cubs.The whole family hated the little cub and considered him nuisance.Their oldest son named him Shaka meaning intestinal beetle.

Shaka`s childhood wasn`t happy.His adoptive parents let him know he isn`t their son so he hasn`t the same rights as others.His older brothers bullied him and sometimes even hurt him.Shaka would often stray away from them,but something would always return him back.Hunger,fear,lostness...He had a feature to help everyone,esspecially helples birds.His family called him weakling because of that.

As a teen,bullying of his older brother Mwamba has crossed all limits.Shaka attacked Mwamba,but he was untrained and not as strong as Mwamba. "Who do you think you are,huh parasite?",Mwamba growled at Shaka.Their mother,who saw everything said: "Well done Mwamba,you`ll be a good fighter one day.As for you,Shaka,how dare you attack your brother,one of as who gave you home,how dare you ! You are nothing but a ungrateful brat !  Damn that day when your mother came at our doors,I repent when I accepted you ! Get lost,and never come back again ! " Scared,Shaka flew,away from hell,away from his devilish family.At first he felt free,but then his joy deflated.Where will he go,what will he eat? After some wandering he found a nice cave with a little stream on the borders of Pridelands.He settled there,and went to find some food.And elder leopard taught him how to hunt and find eatable plants.Shaka continued helping birds and everybody who needed help.

He grew into a handsome young adult,but he was still shy in front of girls.He developed enviable hunting skills,and he could hunt better than the most lionesses.He even learned how to swim,a hippo teached him in return for saving his son from leopards.He was only bad at fighting.                                                            One day when he was hunting,he and a young lioness both choose the same prey to hunt.The lioness was a rookie,so she chased the prey away.Shaka saw she needed help,so he decided to learn her how to hunt.She was at first stubborn,and thought she do it by herself,but when she chased the second prey away,she accepted.Her name was Latyah,and she was the princess of Pridelands.Shaka taught her,and she was improving.                                                                                                                                  After few weeks of training,Latyah was a true hunter.Shaka liked his appretince,and even after the lessons were finished,the continued meeting and just hanging around.Shaka felt he was falling for his appretince,and he was surprised.He never loved anybody,and Latyah woke his heart.She read emotions well,and Shaka was an open book.She openly told him: "You like me, don`t you?" Shaka addmited,and she took him to Pride rock.He met her parents,and brothers Mwesimu and Randas.They were nice,esspecially Randas.

He stayed in Pridelands and became a part of their family.
