Personality: A wanderer at heart, Firion believes nothing is permanent. Everything goes away at some point, so he believes in keeping to himself, never extending his bridge out to others. He would sooner burn it than try and befriend others because he believes as soon as they enter his life, either he or them will disappear. He has issues with committment. Though he tries to present himself as a big bad of a lion, deep down Firion is very shy and awkward.

History: Tojo and Chumvi were kicked out of the Pridelands when they were cubs by Scar who eventually conceeded to Sarabi's option of, instead of killing them (as Scar originally intended), letting them go in exile. Tojo and Chumvi almost died on their own, but fortunately they ran into a pride made up of rogue males (led by Judas). They grew up, and once they were old enough, they separated from the pride to form their own. Tama joined them, having grown sick of how Scar dictated them, and shortly after Kula bumped into them. It was mating season, and Kula seduced Tojo. Tojo ended up getting Kula pregnant before she returned to the Pridelands.

It wasn't long after she returned that Kula regretted going out. Under Scar's rule the female had developed a taste for strong lions. She wondered why she didn't just give herself over to Scar - he was in power and under him her cub would've been safe. After all, weren't Scar's other cubs just as safe? Kula was not suspected of bearing another lion's cub as Scar assumed that he had mated with Kula and just forgot. So for a while Kula was safe, but when it came time to give birth she broke away from the pride, just a day before Simba's return. The labor was intense, but Kula eventually gave birth to Firion. Unaware of the ordeal at Pride Rock, Kula was afraid of returning with her newborn cub and so she traveled for awhile before deciding to leave Firion near the edges of the Outlander pride in hopes that they would pity the cub and take him in. Then Kula returned to the Pridelands.

Firion was not adopted by the Outlander pride, but instead by his uncle Judas when his big pride was passing by. Egged on by his favorite females, Judas conceeded and allowed the young cub into the pride. Young Firion grew up loved, and was given his name by Enu who adored the cub, at least untl she found out she was pregnant again. When he reached the age of five, Judas kicked Firion out of the pride (which is normal amongst male lions - they are kicked out of their prides once they reach a certain age), and Firion set out into the world.

He met the female, Shasta while saving her from a pack of hyenas. In return she offered him some of her kill. Though he went to continue his search for a pride, Shasta went along with him. At first he was none too happy with having her tag along - after all, she would end up disappearing, wouldn't she? That was not the case as Shasta continued to stay with him. Firion never found his pride, but he found something better, and eventually he and Shasta became mates when he finally lightened up and had something to look forward to.

But things did not last. Shasta suffered a miscarriage with her cubs, and that completely destroyed the foundations of their relationship. Haunted by the loss, Firion left Shasta to her own devices. He managed to make quite a ways before he had his accident, hitting his head hard and losing his memory in the process. Firion can't recall anything that happened prior to the incident, which only serves to complicate matters further when he manages to bump into Shasta again...

Firion never regained his memory of Shasta, but even though things were initially rocky between them, their love was renewed, and a year later they tried for cubs, this time succeeding. However, Shasta went into labor early, and Firion sought out for help, finding Rafiki, and requesting that he help them. Four cubs were born, and Shasta pulled through by the skin of her teeth.

For now, Firion could not be any happier.
