History: Nuru's life started out normal a loving family and troubling yet loving siblings but his life wasn't great it had its hard times. Nuru's father died against a rival lion who ended up getting badly injured because of his father so Nuru and his siblings managed to get away with they're mother. The days went on and his mother became weak from lack of food because she had to feed her cubs and barely ate herself. Sadly Nuru's mothers deeds were useless because his siblings died due to depression and Nuru was close to death himself. His mother and him passed out on a cavern floor in a large cave where they both passed out. When Nuru awoke he noticed his mother was gone and saw fresh food for him. He figured his mom left it for him as he ate. Soon a lioness came into the den but it wasn't Nuru's mother it was a stranger.

He demanded to know where his mother was only to be told she was gone and never comming back. Nuru was heart broken at the loss of his mother but did not want her efforts to keep him alive go in vain. So he got his strength back thanks to that lioness who he later found out was a pride lander at one point in her life. She told him the stories of how a dark lion came and took over the pride turning it into the shadowlands. Nuru grew up hearing these stories from the lioness known as Tama. He learned alot about Tama and soon even began to call her mother even though it sometimes felt weird. When Nuru got to his teen years he decided that him and Tama part ways and start his own journey so Tama agreed and went off on her own while Nuru went in another direction as much as he liked spending time with Tama she was old and needed to have her last days on her own.

On his journey Nuru came up to the pride lands which looked alot better then what they use to be but Nuru was only planning to go through the pride lands although he bumped into a lot of nice lions and lionesses he perfered to go off on his own. As he travelled he grew into a handsome lion. During one of his usual walks his nose caught the scent of smoke and tracked it a little ways off and manage to find himself surrounded by the flames and in the flames he spotted a lioness although just barely on the count she was dark and he was not sure if it was burnt fur or her actual colour. He then noticed her move and made his way in her direction, he picked her up and got her out of the flames. He was unsure if she was going to be alright but stayed with her all night until she had awoken to see him there. She flipped at him first somewhat  afraid but he didn't blame her. She demanded to know who he was so he exsplained and after his explination she was more understand of him and thanked him for saving her. 

He found out her name was Chuki and that she had a dark secret she wasn't ready to speak of so he offered his friendship in return. She happily accepted his friendship re before he offered to travel with her which she also agreed. As time went on they got closer and he began to have feelings for the young lioness but kept it to himself untill she was ready to love again.

Relation to TLK: Was raised by Tama for a short time and has a crush on Chuki who is the daughter of Dotty and Nuka.
