Personality: Adanna is a lot like her sister. She's headstrong and stubborn, and absolutely hates being told what to do and bossed around. She is independent just like her mother, and sometimes likes to be alone, with nobody else around her, because she might sometimes feel a bit distressed in big crowds. Adanna is very smart, and knows how to stand up for herself, and if you argue with her, she won't give up before she gets her opinion expressed and others admit that she's right. Adanna doesn't trust others easily, and to get her trust you'll have to work extremely hard.

History: Adanna and younger sister Asali were born in the Pridelands, a month after king Simba's death and Kiara and Kovu took over the throne. Adanna was always very close with her sister, and where ever she went, Asali followed after her because she looked up to Adanna in everything. Since Asali was her only sister, Adanna was always very careful and protective towards her, but it sometimes annoyed her that she followed her everywhere. Adanna understood it though, because the two cubs didn't really have any friends to play with, until Asali befriended the children of king Simba, and an outlander, Vitani. Adanna watched as her sister grew closer and closer with the male, Enzi, and she was suspicious that he wasn't what he seemed like. She didn't trust him one bit, for he was half an outlander, and their family had always hated outlanders, but when she tried to talk to Asali about it, Asali just ignored her warnings and told her he wasn't like other outlanders, he was different. Adanna refused to believe this, and went to talk to her father. He wasn't happy to hear his younger daughter hanging with two outlanders, and decided to have a word with her. Asali was upset with Adanna that she had talked to their father, and said she was old enough to know what's best for her. They kept arguing, until Asali got so mad at her sister that she ran away. Adanna got a bit scared, and ran after her, but before she could find her, she found herself in the middle of a wildebeest stampede. Adanna ran for her life, but some of the wildebeest ran over her, and she got bad wounds all over her body. Finally, when there was no way to escape, Adanna had to jump from a cliff, and fell into a small lake. When she got out of there, Adanna walked back to Pride Rock, quite badly injured, and there she saw her sister, who was terrified to see her hurt. Asali ran up to her, asking what had happened, and Adanna told her she had been looking for her. Asali nuzzled her sister, telling her she was sorry for running away, and they decided they'd never fight again. One day when she was hunting, Adanna saw a dark figure near the watering hole, and to her it seemed like a wildebeest, since her vision had been damaged slightly in the stampede. She lunged towards the creature, and pinned it down, but then she realized it wasn't a wildebeest, it was a male lion. He looked quite scared, and she was very embarassed and apologized him, letting him up on his feet. The male laughed, and said it was allright, then told her his name was Rudo. They became good friends, and began to hang together. Rudo told Adanna about the rough past he'd had, and she felt bad for him, and soon she started to grow feelings for the male. She didn't tell him tough, because she was yet unsure of what he felt for her.
