Generation: 7

Personality: Whereas Shetani is the warrior of the pair, Ledimo is the brain. He is extremely smart and cunning, therefore being able to attract others to join their newfounded pride. He looks down on those not as smart as him, other than Shetani. The two are the perfect pair. When brains are needed, he is there. And when violence is necessary, she is there. Whereas Shetani is impulsive and quick to act, Ledimo will be much more of a logical thinker. He can also be very manipulative, but he is not evil. He will occasionally misuse his intelligence, but he has the best intentions for his pride and his family.

History: Ledimo was a mistake, the result of a forced mate between a rogue male and his mother Jadira, a member of River Pride. He was born along with his two siblings, Tatu and Siraj. His father was killed by the other members of River Pride after the cubs were born. Ledimo never had much of a father figure as a cub, aside from the other males of the pride. His mother tried her best to raise them properly, but she suffered bad PTSD and depression from the event and could not always give them what they needed. As Ledimo got a little older, he befriended a female cub named Shetani. Shetani was much different than Ledimo, and it attracted him to her. She was always getting into trouble, and he was always getting her out of it. As the cubs grew up, they began to face more responsibility. Shetani was supposed to babysit the pride cubs one day, but she failed to pay attention, resulting in the loss of one of the cubs.Ramses, who was taken by hyenas. The pride was furious with Shetani and for once in her life, she was racked with guilt and regret. River Pride decided to exile her. Ledimo, who had fallen in love with Shetani, tried to defend her. He had the choice to stop defending the "cub killer" or to be exiled with her, and he chose to leave with her. At first, Shetani rejected all of his affections, as she never wanted to have a mate. But as Ledimo continued to stay by her side despite everything, she eventually let her guard down and the two became mates. They decided to start a new pride, as they had no desire to join any of the prides they knew of. They found some unmarked territory relatively close to the Grasslanders territory and made it their home. When Shetani had her first cub, they were disappointed it was a girl. Ledimo wanted a son to be his heir, and told Shetani they needed to abandon her. Shetani, who was still sarred over the loss of Ramses, at first refused to abandon the cub. Ledimo, who agreed they couldn't be that cruel, assured her they would leave her close to the Pridelands, in hope a lioness from the Pridelanders would take her in. They did, and fortunately, it happened. Raziya took in their cub, and named her Rahma. Not long after, Shetani had her second cub, who was a male. They named him Afua, and he was crowned prince. Over several months, rogues who were looking for places to settle down joined Sun Pride. Ledimo and Shetani spend their time ruling their pride, and preparing Afua to be king.

Relation to TLK: His mother is the Great-Grandaughter of Scar; abandoned his daughter to the Pridelanders.
