Name: Faith

Sex: Female

Siblings: N/A

Mate: Fang

Cubs: Abeni (adopted)

When Rendered: Nala's build from the first movie

Personality: Hot-headed and loves the thrill of fighting. She is almost like Fang in every sense except she is much more open and more leninent to crack snide remarks than not. Faith has a confidence about her that one cannot help but admire - she does not care who judges her because she knows who she is. However, she has trust issues, stemming from her turbulent past, and as a result is not quick to trust others.

History: Faith was raised alone by her abusive and crazed mother. She never met her father because he was killed by another lion before she was born. Her mother was mentally unstable, and was neglectful of Faith. When Faith ran away, she had no regrets, but her cubhood experience, to this day, makes it hard for her to depend on others.

Though life was hard for a lone lioness, Faith continued to thrive, pulling risky stunts such as stealing the remaining carcasses carelessly left out by other lion prides, and often prowling with them when they went hunting. She had had many close calls, but Faith knew how the game worked and so she was able to get back without getting too seriously injured. Though she had been invited to join several rogue prides, Faith always declined the offer - after all she was doing fine on her own, why should she need to live with others?

Faith and Fang had a run-in when they were younger. Fang was gnawing on some of the remains of a hunted gazelle when Faith intruded on her, boldly thinking she could handle the older lioness. The two fought and Fang successfully drove Faith away. Faith was impressed by the year-older lioness and never really forgot about her as she continued to travel. The fact that they reunited some years later was by chance.

Remembering who the other was, they never got along. Faith always rubbed Fang the wrong way, and they often fought, but despite their disagreements the two lionesses did respect one another. Their newfound friendship faltered though when Fang showed interest in another lioness and left Faith on her own. The dark-colored lioness was angered that Fang abandoned her like that, and so she left to continue her life as a rogue. They bumped into each other again a year later, with Fang playing caretaker to a young cub named Abeni. Though Faith was resentful of Fang, she was also curious - where was the other lioness? Fang explained that she died for Abeni, and that she was taking care of her. This impressed Faith and the two lionesses reconciled their friendship.

It was not long before mutual attraction developed between the two lionesses. Though Faith would never admit it out loud, she liked the little family situation she had with Fang and Abeni, and so was very sad when Abeni found her original lion pride. Fang offered for Faith to join her pride, but Faith went against it, saying that she did not feel she would be welcomed within the pride.
