Personality: Dakarai is a laid back and down to earth guy, who enjoys having a good laugh every once in a while and has a love for humor and a positive attitude towards life. He hates seeing others sad or hurt or being too serious, and always tries to make others feel better. He loves challenges and he is an excellent fighter, but he does not think of fighting as an answer to anything, and thinks it will only bring more trouble, therefore he always attempts to solve things out by simply using his head and common sense, instead of taking out his claws or showing his teeth. Dakarai is very protective towards his loved ones, especially his mate, and if he feels that anyone or anything threatens her safety, he will defend her, even if he was risking his own life.

History: Dakarai was born to two rogue lions, far from the Pride lands borders. Being their only cub he always got the attention he needed and wanted from his parents, and he likes the fact that he didn't have to compete with anyone. His father taught him all the things he needed to know about surviving on his own someday, he showed him how to fight and his mother taught him how to hunt, and he was growing and maturing quite fast. When he had reached adulthood, he left his parents and set out for new adventures and couldn't wait to start a life of his own. For a long time he lived as a rogue who travelled the plains of Africa, and loved the fact he didn't have to rely on anyone, and would only look out for himself. But that changed one day, when Dakarai came across an elderly lion named Mega and his pride, and Mega's niece, Aboyo, immidietally catched his eye. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on, and he started hanging around the pride just to get to see her. As the days went by Dakarai and Aboyo grew quite close, and his feelings for her got stronger every moment they spent together. One night he was about to tell Aboyo about his feelings, but she beat him to it when she confessed she was in love with him. Dakarai was very surprised, but also happy, and told Aboyo he felt the same way, and they decided to become mates. After this Mega allowed Dakarai to stay with his pride, and Dakarai and Aboyo couldn't have been happier.

Relation to TLK: Mate of Aboyo, who is the daughter of Mufasa and Sarabi.
