This cute lil guy was made for me as a fancub by ALoneWolf009 on DeviantArt. Link to original picture

I already had an idea for some cubs born to Neema after Moyo and Miba, only for them to be killed by Makuu as infants. I also decided to have Kweli die off and have Tau be their father. ALoneWolf's fan cubs are those of Waridi and Tau, but I decided to have their mother as Neema instead since Waridi dies after having her one and only son.

Bio
Raha is born alongside Hatia to Neema and Tau. Both he and his sibling are killed by Makuu as an infant, thus resulting in Makuu's exile from the Pridelands.

When Kweli dies of some illness, Neema seeks comfort in her long-dead sister's mate Tau. The two have been good friends for a very long time prior to the losses of their respective mates, and their loneliness and need for comfort eventually becomes something more. Two cubs are born from this union - a male, so much like his older half-brother Miba in appearances; and a female.

The boy is named Raha, for the happiness Neema feels in the event of his birth. She is relatively old now, and it is likely he and his sister Hatia would be her last litter. Her eldest two are already young adult, and while Moyo is a respectable male who is kind-hearted and compassionate, Makuu is a demon; a terribly-bad tempered animal with a history of aggressive outbursts. Neema had allowed him to stay for longer than she thought was safe to do so - after all, he was her son. And although he had always been like this, even as a cub, she could not help but blame herself. She felt she owed it to him to let him know he was always welcome, that he always had a place in the pride even though his violent tendencies meant he was disbarred from ever being king.

But that was before the terrible incident that resulted in Makuu's permanent exile. Somehow, Makuu had managed to sneak into the den, mauling his younger siblings as they slept and leaving their bloody remains strewn across the cave floor.

Distinguishing features
Had he lived, Raha would have sported a bicoloured mane although instead of red and black like his Tau and Miba, it would have been red and dark brown. The tail tuft would have lacked this bicoloured trait and instead be just plain red. Spots on his ears, elbow tufts.
