Sex: Male

Siblings: Kutojali

Mate: N/A

Cubs: N/A

Personality: Sensible and logical, but suffers from crippling insecurity and a need to belong in a stable environment, therefore he willingly conforms to standards he believes are needed to be able to survive in the world. Is able to keep a level-head to a certain point, but anything that challenges the views he had grown up with will usually result in a breakdown of massive confusion and conflict.

History: Faraj and his sister were born during a very tense period between their father, their mother, and their father's lover, also their uncle, Bour. Bour had left Majuto the first time when he had admitted to mating with Mala, but he ended up returning some time after. But when the cubs were born, Bour was gone immediately. Mala was also shooed off by Majuto, who was now only determined to win Bour back. Mala left their cubs with him, and left.

Faraj grew up with no mother, but he ended up idolizing her in a way that was the complete opposite of how she actually was. He also hated Bour, from the moment he saw his uncle, he hated him, and he didn't really have a good reason to explain why. So he varied every time it was asked of him.

Even though he lived in with having two Dads, Faraj always believed in the male/female relationship, just basing it on what he saw and observed in nature. As a result it ended up throwing him into a complete loop when he found himself attracted to a rogue lion that happened to pass by. Faraj was nearly destroyed by his emotions, not understanding why he was feeling that way, and what was going on about it.

Faraj didn't get along with his sister - they were two complete opposites who didn't compliment each other in the best of ways. He thought she was crazy in the way she perceived life, but even though he felt for her after her traumatic incident, he made a mental note to just keep away from her since they just could not mix well together.
