Ashur
Nicknames and Titles: Wicked one, the seer
Relations and Affiliations: Nala (friend), Rafiki (caretaker), Mate (Maybe open??)
Personality: Ashur is a quiet and loving lion who is excessivly misunerstood for his abilities. He enjoys sleep and prefers to stay away from others. He cares deeply for his family and wants to help those around him but he is afraid of causing more harm than good. As an adult, Ashur realizes he must take care of himself as much as he wishes to take care of others, boosting his previously shaky confidence.
Story: Ashur was born to a very small pride which was made up of his mother, his aunt, his father, and his two siblings. From a very young age Ashur appeared to know things would happen, and often he dreamt of things that eventually came to pass. His mother doted on him and claimed that he had been gifted by their ancestors this ability, but it was an unpredictable gift and Ashur often did not recall the futures he foresaw until they began to occur before his very eyes. Ashur grew up very close to his family and loved them dearly. When one of his sublings is lost in a hunting trip, his mother is distraught and blames Ashur, believing that he could have stopped his sibling's death from occuring. Outcast, Ashur for a short time prowls the lands but soon his distress causes him to slip into a deep sleep from which he does not wake for some time. At this time, the spirits of the great kings lead Rafiki to find and take care of Ashur. During his weeks of sleep, Ashur stumbles into the dream of a lioness by the name of Nala. At first he believes she's a figment of his imagination, but after a while the two discover that each other exists. After hearing her story, Ashur decides to help the lioness escape. He finally awakens from his coma and lends a paw to her. Once she has left, Ashur dreams of the possible futures of the pride lands and alerts Rafiki to the outcomes, prompting the baboon to go out in search of the long lost prince Simba.
Regaining some of his strength, Ashur attempts to return to his home but finds that his mother in her hysteria has turned all his family against him, and news of his "curse" have spread to many other prides as well, forcing Ashur to live life as an exile. He returns to the outskirts of the pridelands and decides to live a quiet life occasionally visiting his friend, the Queen.
Relation to TLK: The wise Rafiki cares for him during his coma; Helps the lioness Nala escape pride rock while Scar still ruled.
