Name: Tafari (Ethiopian for 'awe-inspiring')

Sex: Male

Parents: Firion and Shasta

Siblings: Akachi, Caius, Zaina

Mate: Nkechi (crush)

Cubs: N/A

Personality: Very righteous in what he firmly believes in; tries to be as open-minded as he could possibly be. One day Tafari wishes to be as good as his parents and Akachi are. Is inspired by Akachi and looks up to his every word because he always believes that he can be better than he already is. In fact he's so consumed by his wanting that he doesn't already realize how much of a good lion he is already. Because he always looks for the good in others, he's very gullible and too trusting.

History: A year or so after Firion and Shasta reunited, they decided to try again for cubs. Once again, Shasta became pregnant and manages to carry the cubs to full term. However, Shasta ended up giving birth early and Firion was forced to seek aid or lose Shasta and his cubs again. He found Rafiki and returned to Shasta. Four small but healthy cubs were born and Shasta pulled through by the skin of her teeth.

Tafari took the most from his father, but by no means did he only just idolize Firion. Tafari took inspiration from both his parents and his older brother Akachi to be a better lion than he already was. Sometimes he can get quite exasperated with his sister, but he loves her just as dearly as he loves Akachi. It's with Caius that he has difficulty forming a relationship with him; Tafari tries, but so far has not been met with much success.
