Personality: A deep thinker who unfortunately gets pressured too easily. He isn't very strong emotionally, so when he feels he is being bullied to do something, he'll do it just to have them stop bugging him. He looks up to Ikeena, feeling a bigger emotional attachment to him than to Reno, whom Zuri is attached to. Between him and his 'sister', she is in charge, and Adwin is the follower. However, there are times when he feels that Zuri goes TOO far. Being with Juliet, though, has boosted up his confidence, and Adwin has proven to show that he is a very fun-loving lion.

History: Thrown out of his pride because he was fathered by a rogue lion, Adwin had zero chances for survival. He was a big meal for hyenas who saw him, but thankfully he was taken in by Ikeena and Reno, who traveled, not really being a pride but instead just a big family of self-proclaimed orphans. He met and became friends with Zuri and Chari, who were also adopted into the pride. Ikeena and Reno were pleased to have Adwin, especially Reno who was looking forward to teaching the cub how to fight.

However, he soon discovered that, like Ikeena had, Adwin too lacked backbone, so he left him alone and instead turned his attention to teaching Zuri all he knew. Adwin grew close to Ikeena, where he adopted his relaxed-attitude towards life. He is much smarter than Ikeena though, and is a very deep thinker. However, this is never put to use, not that Adwin minds. He's just happy being part of a pride who'll accept him.

During their travels, the pride came across a larger lion pride. They asked to stay for a day to rest before continuing travels. The other pride accepted and welcomed them to stay. There Adwin met and became good friends with a lioness cub named Juliet. It was a tearful goodbye when Ikeena and Reno led their pride along.

Two more members joined the pride - Sauda, a lioness with a terrible past, and Chari, a young cub left for dead after his mother's passing. Adwin, glad to see another cub his age, quickly attached himself to Chari in hopes of escaping the abuse he was subjected to by Zuri. In Chari's company, Adwin grew braver, and once even stood up to Zuri and told her what she was doing was wrong. When the three of them got older, Reno and Ikeena chased them away from the pride. Adwin was the last to leave, but Ikeena said that he would do fine and that he was proud of him.

Not long after leaving the pride, Adwin was attacked by Zuri. "No one dares to tell me I'm wrong!" were her words as she merciless beat him up. She left him for the dead.
