History: Malai was born to and unknown pair of lions who bullied her as she grew up. She was born with weak hearing, which caused her to isolate and take care of herself constantly. He parents, and other adults, never bothered trying to help with her disability, but Malai grew on it.

Malai's nose developed to be very strong. Her eyes became just as strong as well. She trained her nose, her eyes, and even her paws to detect any foul vibrations around her. Though, sometimes, she would confused certain vibrations, such as playing cubs and an angry adult.

Eventually, Malai left, having learned how to hunt and defend herself. She was later taken in by a pride, a pride that lived ways away from any others. This pride was the Black Moor Rigiment. Kopa, the retired king, brought Malai in as his own, as she was still under a year old. He expanded on her abilities and taught her different ways to track prey.

Kopa pushed her everyday to improve on her skills. Everyday was often tiring and left Malai sore, but Kopa didn't give up on her. He endured her whining and complaining, he endured her bad days and her good days. Eventually, Malai became the best tracker, and discount spy, in the pride.
