~Bio~

History:

Nion was born in a small pride near to the Mountain Pride. His parents didn't like cubs that much and they only cared for him for being a male. Though he was very young, Nion clearly understood his parents didn't love him fully. He hated them�and wished to leave them when he was elder. Nion lived with them with less care, and his parents didn't even care if he returned home late from exploring. They just ate up the food if Nion wasn't around, thus he had to stay hungry often but he couldn't stop exploring, so learned hunting small animals by himself. He learned to protect himself from any coming danger, and thus grew smarter. Nion's friends were rather naughty, and Nion always tried to stop them from playing mean jokes on others, as much as he could. The king of the pride was amazed of this cub's honesty and smartness, but his parents weren't proud at all.
Nion's hatred for them grew even more when his sister was born. For being a girl, his father hurt her and they left here in middle of the grasses. Nion took his little injured sister, and left the pride. He reached the Mountain Pride, where the King (Malka's granfather) let them stay. Nion tried to make his sister well again, but the newborn cub was injured badly and couldn't survive. Upset and dissapointed, Nion stayed in the Mountain Pride, away from the others. He tried to save others from that day. The cub wasn't as strong as a grown-up, but he saved them from little dangers, like, from being bitten by a snake.
Nion became more improved in hunting, and decided to leave this pride when teen. So he did. He was stronger than before, and believed that he could survive. Being rogue for some weeks, he happened to meet two teen lionesses of the same age as him. They were called Sarabi and Sarafina, and they took him to their pride and asked to join. It was called the Pridelands, ruled by king Ahadi. Nion had fallen for Sarafina, so he accepted.
Nion became very good friends with Prince Mufasa, Sarabi and Sarafina. He had a crush for Sarafina, but there was also someone who wanted to have her, Prince Scar, formerly Taka. Nion and Scar had a rivalry between them, but hopefully, he managed to become Sarafina's mate soon after Mufasa came to the throne with Sarabi.
Scar was angry as ever, for not becoming the king and not having Sarafina also. Sarafina gave birth to Nion's daughter soon after Prince Simba was born, whom he named Nala. As Nion and Mufasa were friends, Nala was betrothed to Simba. Nion an Sarafina were proud, as well as happy.
But Nion wasn't happy for long after this. Scar had tricked him to elephant graveyard, where the hyenas and him, killed Nion altogether. Although he was strong, he couldn't fight up with so many of them. The tragedy happened some days before Mufasa was killed too, and Scar took over with sarafina was his wife, at first.
