Name: Gacheru (African for 'spy')

Sex: Male

Parents: Reno and Sauda

Siblings: Rena, Sarafina, Abrafo

Mate: N/A

Cubs: Infertile. Adopts Samanya

When Rendered: Kovu's body build, but much smaller

Personality: Shy, withdrawn, but is a more talkative figure than his brother Abrafo is once you get him started. He has an innocent quality about him that makes him very loveable, even though he always gets tongue-tied. He is humble, but because he was the runt he is more prone to sickness than others.

History: Born in Sauda and Reno's second litter, Gacheru was the third cub after Sarafina and Abrafo. Because he had other siblings to compete with, Gacheru decided that he would not try to seek his parents' attention. If they wanted to give him attention they would do it. Still Gacheru was very close to his parents and always tagged along with them. He was terrified of Rena and Sarafina - Rena because of her loner persona, and Sarafina because she was a workaholic.

When Rena disappeared, Sarafina decided she would go look for her sister and enlisted the help of Abrafo. She welcomed Gacheru to join them, but Gacheru refused to go with them, saying that Rena was gone and they wouldn't have any like finding her. Truth was, Gacheru was too scared to go wander with Sarafina to look for another sister he was equally terrified of. However, he soon summoned the courage to go retrieve his siblings after watching his parents be distraught over their loss.

Gacheru is infertile and is small in size compared to his other siblings.

He never found Sarafina or Abrafo, but did manage to bump into Samanya who was on her own. He took her in, raising her as his own since he was unable to have cubs. The two were happy together, but the only issue was Samanya's mental unstability. Gacheru could not help her to deal with it, and is killed by her after a temper tantrum gone wrong.
