Personality: Tabita is a quiet and calm lioness, who doesn't want anything bad for anyone, and wants to live in a perfect balance with the world. She is sweet and friendly towards others, and always ready to help if someone needs it. She's a social female, who gets well along with others, but sometimes she likes just to be alone and away from others. Tabita despises everyone who believe violence is an answer to anything and the only way to solve problems, she believes that problems can be solved with common sense, instead of with teeth or claws. She is very protective towards her close ones, sometimes a bit overprotectice especially towards her son, but that only makes her a good mother.

History: Tabita's parents were two rogue lions, and her mother died when she was only 8 weeks old. She travelled into the Pride Lands with her father, and stayed there. When Tabita was reaching adulthood, and turned 1 year, her father was killed by a group of outlanders. She was desparate, and heartbroken, and that's when she gained a hatred towards all the outlanders. Years went on, and Tabita had become a beautiful lioness. Finally, as she reached the age of 5 years, she met an outlander named Kwanza, who seemed to be showing some kind of infatuation towards her. Tabita didn't like him one bit, as he was very self centered and mean to other, and worst of all, he was an outlander. Kwanza, much to her dissapointment joined the Pride Lands, so she'd have to live with him from now on. The thought seemed intolerable for Tabita, but as time went on, she noticed that there was some strange, evil charm in this male. Eventually, Tabita started to like Kwanza, and thought he wasn't so bad after all, and pretty soon they fell in love, and became mates. Tabita became pregnant and gave birth to a male cub, who was named Rasul. Tabita was more than happy to have a son, and she loved him with all her heart, but unfortunately, Kwanza wasn't half as glad as she was. She watched how Kwanza mistreated poor Rasul, yelled at him, calling him names and even slapping him, and she told Kwanza he couldn't treat their son like that. Several times Tabita comforted Rasul, telling he shouldn't care about his father, and she'd love him no matter what. Rasul grew into a handsome young lion, and Tabita couldn't have been prouder. But one night, when Rasul had been on a walk with princess Kala, he never came home. And Kwanza had been gone too. She was very worried for them both, and finally the next evening, Rasul came home, limping his right leg, and telling her Kwanza was dead. Tabita was shocked, and asked her son what had happened. Rasul explained that Kwanza was participating in a plot with the outlanders to take over the Pride Lands. He told her that he and Kala had heard everything he had talked with Zira, leader of the outlanders, and they had caught them, when Kwanza chased after them, chasing them to an edge of a cliff, wanting to kill princess Kala, but Rasul ahd stepped in front of him and they both fell into the gorge, and into the river. Tabita was even more shocked now, she couldn't believe her mate and her son's father would plot against them like that. She begger Rasul to tell her it wasn't true, but he said it was true, unfortunately. Tabita was however thankful that her son was alive, and nuzzled him, and later, when Rasul became Kala's mate, she moved to Pride Rock, with him and the royal family.
