Name: Tendai (Shona for 'be thankful)

Sex: Female

Parents: Midwa and Manzi

Siblings: Awiti (full); Dekka (half)

Crush: N/A

Mate: N/A

Cubs: N/A

Personality: Much more kind and considerate than Dekka is, though Tendai does not hesitate to also voice her views. In the way she does, however, differs from Dekka - she is not nastily blunt, but gives a rather reasonable view. Tendai does not seek to make enemies, but should she happen to? Well, too bad for them, Tendai isn't going to worry too much over it. Even though she is very considerate to others, the ones that Tendai has a problem reaching out to are cubs, and though she finds them cute at times, she otherwise has a negative opinion about them.

History: Tendai was born from Dekka's father and a female who he had stolen from a traveling lion pride, and whom he was deeply in love with. Unlike many others, Tendai's father was regretful of abandoning Dekka's mother with a cub in tow, and he decided to make up for it by teaching Tendai and her siblings all that he could, even making Tendai promise that, once she went on her own, that she would find her half-sister, even if he could not give her a good description of what her sister would be like. "When you see her, you'll know," was what he told her.

Tendai grew up with many siblings, and loved each and every one of them, but found that she could not get close to cubs when one of her sisters became pregnant by a rogue who pledged his alliance to Tendai's father in order to seek out one of his daughters in return. Tendai grew distant with her sister, unable to stand to be around the cubs. She didn't understand why at first - they were so cute! Soon she realized that cubs just did not make her comfortable.

When she grew older, Tendai bade farewell to her family to seek out Dekka, and pass on her father's message to her. Instead she bumped into Tanabi and Rickon's group, and happily joined them once she displayed that she was willing to help them instead of hurting them.

Soon enough, she would find Dekka at last...
