Name: Quanna (African for 'queen')

Sex: Female

Parents: Olric and Sia

Siblings: Sassia (full); Nomusa (half)

Mate: Ari

Cubs: Baako, Enu, Jira, Eshe

Personality: Quanna is strict, which comes with the position of being the favorite female. She is the higher up and takes this job with responsibility. It is she who leads the hunts and more often than not is the one to deliver the killing blow to the prey. However, she is very gentle with her cubs and loves them dearly. She wants her cubs to respect what their future will be like, and hopefully to learn to respect the next leader who would come in charge. She is traditional in that sense.

History: Quanna was the firstborn daughter to Olric and Sia, but she did not have to undergo the pressures of her father until much later in her life after it was found out that her older half-sister Nomusa could not bear cubs. Wanting his blood to live on, Olric turned his expectations to her, and from then on he and Sia kept close eye on her.

Quanna got along well with her sisters and had a very good relationship with her younger sister Sassia, until the day Ari came along and won against her father. Unbeknowist to her, Sassia was already nursing an affection for the lion, therefore she was outraged when Ari chose Quanna to be his favorite female. Sassia challenged Quanna, but in the end Quanna won easily, and since then their sisterly bond was destroyed and the two kept their distance from one another.

The jealously was not just on Sassia's part alone, however. Quanna loved Ari dearly, and was jealous when he went and mated with her sister Sassia. Not long after Ari settled into the pride, Quanna was pregnant and a few months later gave birth to Baako. Baako's sisters Enu and Jira soon followed. Quanna, also, wasn't always blind. Sometime after she gave birth to her second litter, Quanna led a group of lionesses to prey on some water buffalo. They separated a young one from its herd, but the mother came back and kicked Quanna in the face with her hoove. Quanna's sight immediately disappeared. She also began to have mild headaches afterwards.

When Judas came along and overthrew Ari, Quanna went with her mate, not wanting to serve another male whom she had no feelings for. Thema joined the two of them, despite Quanna's reluctance that her daughter should leave the pride. She never made up with Sassia either. Soon after they left the pride, Ari died of illness, and Quanna was left to fend for herself. She couldn't help herself because of her blindness and so she died of starvation.
