Name: Nomusa (African for 'generous')

Sex: Female

Parents: Olric and Kumba (deceased)

Siblings: Quanna, Sassia (half)

Mate: N/A

Cubs: Infertile

Personality: Nomusa is the responsible sister. She tries looking out for everyone. Unlike her sisters, she tries not to be swayed to one direction, instead trying to look at matters from both sides of view. She also tries to not let her emotions get the best of her. She is very motherly and has no issues with anyone in the pride for she does not go out of her way to aggrivate anyone. She tries to give advice to everyone, especially to Judas and Ari (when he was pride leader). She is the peacemaker when a dispute is at hand.

History: Nomusa was the first born cub between Olric and Kumba. Being the first cub, Nomusa had great expectations ahead of her, and her father expected her to bear the next leader many cubs. However, it was soon found out that Nomusa was infertile. She never went into heat, nor exhibited any of the common reactions fertile females would. As a result, she could not bear cubs, and the expectation was then turned to Quanna.

When Ari took over, he originally wanted to make Nomusa one of his favorite females because she was the oldest. However, when he found out she would not be able to bear him any cubs, he didn't go through with the plan, but instead Nomusa offered to become his co-adviser if he needed a second opinion on something. Ari did exactly that, and though she was not one of his mates, that did not stop Nomusa from nursing an affection for him.

When Ari was confronted and defeated by Judas, he and Quanna departed from the pride. Nomusa did her best to sway Quanna's opinion (as she felt her sister would be much safer living in the pride than going out into the world with her ill mate), but Quanna was not having any of it. For Judas, Sassia had intentions for her daughter Tamu to become his favorite female, but Nomusa did not have a one-sided opinion of Judas. Loyal to her post as adviser, she asked if she could be his adviser. Like Ari before him, Judas agreed.

Nomusa likes Judas actually, but she feels he needs to open up more. Nomusa also tries to be good to the younger lionesses, especially to Baako and Enu, and try to provide support for them all.

Nomusa lived to see herself become a great aunt and guardian for Judas's cubs, and she lived to see the frightening moment when Zuri came back to the pride and admitted she killed Kayode. At this point, Nomusa had lived longer than most lionesses her age, but her life came to an end during a huge confrontation between Malka's pride. She stepped in and saved Judas, but at the cost of her own life. Nomusa ascended into The King's Court, and was warmly welcomed by Quanna and Ari.

Relation to TLK: Lives in the pride of Judas, who is the son of Mufasa and Sarabi.
