Adopted from Troll Berserker, thank you very much! ^^

Name: Mfalme ("king" in african)

Species: African Lion 

Gender: Male

Parents:Unknown

Siblings: Unknown

Mate/Crush: Unnamed

Cubs: Malka 

Personality: Mfalme is a lion you will not want to mess with. He has a very bad temper, he's rather agressive and cold towards strangers, and it's pretty hard to approach him. He does not express much feelings, except of course anger, which he really shows when it's necessary, he snarls and might even attack you if his temper gets really hot. Mfalme is an excellent fighter, he is known to be cruel to his enemies and is somewhat feared around where he lives, and other places through out the savannah. He is not still a bad guy, he's just a really grumpy lion who enjoys his own space and doesn't really care much for socializing or interacting with other lions. 

History: Mfalme's life did not began under too happy circumstanses, his father tried to kill him and his two siblings but their mother protected them, getting killed herself. A rogue male came to the cub's rescue, he chased the killer father away and took the little cubs to safety, raising them as his own. Mfalme was always a very distant and close cub, this was caused by the trauma of witnessing his own father kill his mother, and he never played with his siblings, or socialized with them much. He was independent from a very young age, and as he reached his teens he said goodbye to his adoptive father, thanking him for everything and set out on his own, being alone ever since. Mfalme  grew older and stronger and gained a lot of respect, but also fear after defeating one rogue at a time, but he never stopped traveling. It was wondered why he never attacked prides ad tried to take over them, but this was left open for speculation. One day, Mfalme came across a lioness whom had been stuck in a hunter's trap, at first he was going to just leave her there, but something made him go and help her out of that trap. The lioness was grateful for his help, but before she could properly thank him he was already gone. Some days later Mfalme stopped for a rest, only to find out he was in the territory of the pride the lioness he rescued lived in. She started to hang around him, not giving a moment of peace and eagerly tried to get acquainted with him but he refused to open up and only wished she'd leave him alone. But suddenly, when the time had come for him to move on, Mfalme felt a strange need to stay close to the pride, and the lioness. He didn't know why, exactly, but something about her made him not want to leave, of course he never admitted this out loud. He still didn't like having other lions around him, he was always a rogue inside but he figured he could stay with that lioness for a while, and it wouldn't be so bad. But everything changed when she fell pregnant with his cub, and now Mfalme would have to make the most difficult decision of his life: Would he take off like a coward and never see his cub or the lioness, or would he stay and face his responsibility as a father? He thought of this long and hard, but when a beautiful male cub was born, Mfalme simply couldn't find it in his heart to abandom him and his mother.

Relation to TLK: Malka's father.
