Gender: Hermaphrodite (Meaning Haruna is both male and female Haruna has both working parts that can be used to make or carry cubs. Strange as it is I like it)

Personality: Haruna is a strange individual shi has no real opinion on the world. Shi can be seen as strange or odd most likely known as an outcast rarely accepted by others. Though all shi wants is to have a nice friend or love who doesn't right. Shi is known for hir hard work and attitude and is very hopeful that shi will amount to osmething in the world. Haruna is curious and self reliant, also known to be brave and even abit reckless tends to jump forth in situations even if they don't call for it shi's the type to jump in before thinking. Haruna can be a little sensitive at times but shi has a good sense of humour but knows when to call it quits if things go too far. One of Bakari's best qualities would have to be hir listeninging skills. Shi is always the shoulder to cry on or there when someone needs a friend even if they don't consider hir a friend shi is always there regardless.

History: Haruna's life didn't start off so bad hir parents once saw hir as a blessing for they're pride but that blessing quickly turned into a nightmare for young Haruna as shi grew up. Though many looked at Haruna as a lioness hir family looked at her as a lion so her father spent hours training her in some of the toughest and most harsh training shi had ever been put through. Haruna did hir best but hir father soon lost all hope of Haruna ever becoming a King or Queen of they're pride and disowned hir. The pride sisters easily ignored hir and abandoned her whenever possible which upset Haruna so eventually shi left the pride and ran off. Though shi ran off with a secret shi never wanted others to know that shi was also male as much as shi was a female, Shi decided that if shi was ever welcomed into a pride shi would keep that a secret and never tell anyone in fear of losing another pride or possibly a friend.

The day Haruna left shi had travelled days on end without rest and eventually passed out from the constant changing climates something shi was not use too. Shi soon awoke and found hirself in mists of a pride there was all kinds of different lionesses and a lion or two and shi didn't feel so bad or different. The leader of the pride was a young lioness by the name of Ari. She was a sweet lioness with a lot of kindness in her heart that Haruna felt somewhat intrigued and comforted by the lioness and when Ari asked where Haruna had come from Haruna had told her a story that was partly true only part that wasn't was that she was born as a female and that hir father felt shi was useless to the pride and got rid of her. It wasn't all a lie really but Haruna didn't want others to look at hir funny or different and possibly shun her for it. Haruna was accepted and had even asked to become a member of the pride. Though some of the pride sisters were unsure they would at least give hir a chance to prove hirself to them. It seems one Lioness had caught Haruna's attention shi seemed to look rather different then the others and seemed more attracted towards her.

The young lionesses name was Lesedi though the lioness seemed shy and timid she was welcoming to Haruna and it was that day Haruna had made hir first official friend. Shi and Lesedi had gotten a bit of a bond with one another and eventually Lesedi felt close enough to open up and tell Haruna what had happened in her life. Haruna could understand her situation she had lost a lot of love and was scared to open up to hir it made Haruna somewhat comfortable. Haruna was next to come out and tell Lesedi about hir condition needless to say Lesedi was shocked and somewhat confused she had never heard of a animal of any kind being born with both working genders let alone them having both genders for that matter. Haruna was worried Lesedi would avoid hir and tell the others but she agreed to keep Haruna's secret until Haruna was ready to tell everyone. Now it took a few weeks before Haruna opened up to the pride and much to hir surprise they were somewhat accepting about it though Haruna could not figure out why and shi had Lesedi to thank for it if it weren't for Lesedi shi never would have opened up at all and was grateful that the pride did not judge hir for being different. Lesedi and Haruna seemed to grow even closer if that were possible and even managed to get an infactuation with the lioness now shi wasn't a hundred percent sure if Lesedi felt the same way but unlike most Haruna wasn't afraid to show affection giving Lesedi the occassional flower or catching prey just for her it was how Haruna's old pride use to show how much they cared for one another.
