history: Kisasi was born to King Sefu in the peaceful, large Western pride. He was named Dhahabu due to his golden pelt. When he was weaned, but not yet old enough to teally remember much, his pride was raided by Vita’s war band. His father was nearly killed and in an act of revenge, Vita kidnapped Dhahabu and decided to raise him as his own son. He renamed him Kisasi “revenge” and trained him to fight and  kill and to be a cold hearted ruler. Despite his regimented upbringing, Kisasi has a good heart and tries to conect eith the other lionesses in his pride. He often disagrees with Vita, which angers him. He respects his father, but has his limits with violence. Vita will punish him for any comment or action he deems as insubordination. He refuses to tell Kisasi anout his true father, instead teaching him to hate his birth pride. All Kisasi wants is to be able to roam freely, without raiding or battles, settle down with a mate and maybe have cubs.
