History: Teshi was born to Enu, daughter of Tojo and Kula, and her mate. But, she never knew her father. Unknown to her, he had died defending his mate from a duo of rogues. After he died, Enu entered a state of depression, until she realized she was pregnant with her mate's cub. She desperately wished for a daughter as her mate had also wished for one. When the cub was born, Enu was overjoyed that it was a girl and therefore named her Teshi. Teshi's birth healed her mother a little. When she was a very young cub, Queen Kiara and King Kovu approached Enu. They wanted to bethroth her to their young son Lutalo, who was going to rule and needed a queen. Enu agreed just so her daughter wouldn't suffer the same pain she had. As she grew, Teshi grew a deep friendship with Lutalo and Fayola, as well as Timon and Pumbaa. Enu eventually told her that she was bethroted to her best friend, and this ticked Teshi off that she hadn't been consulted. But, nevertheless accepted the fact. She told her mother that she would do it, but not because she would love Lutalo, ever. Zazu was always on their case, demanding them to spend time with each other as they would one day be married. Teshi and Lutalo would simply sneak out and have fun. Teshi's friendship with Lutalo grew every day. But, it hit a tough spot when Lutalo's aunt Zuwena was murdered. As she had meant everything to him, Lutalo shut himself off from everybody, including Teshi. Teshi did her best and tried to approach him, but all she got was a rude answer. Teshi wanted to snap back, but knew that he was doing it out of depression. So, she stayed away from him and let him heal. Enu told her that she was the one who had to heal him as wounds like his didn't close up easily. So, Teshi gave one more shot at connecting with her best friend, and was let through. Teshi stayed with Lutalo all through his troubled times. Lutalo was grateful to her for that. Teshi told him that she had been thinking about them being bethroted and knew they had to go through with it, as he was going to one day become king. Lutalo then told her that he didn't want to be king anymore. Teshi was surprised, but then she told him to tell his father. As a young teenager, Lutalo was a little skeptical about it, but knew Teshi was right. So, he told his father about it, and told him that the right one for the throne was his sister. So, Fayola was made heir to the throne. As they grew into adults, Teshi's friendship with Lutalo also grew, now that he had the pressures of kingship off his back. He seemed much more relaxed and confident, and Teshi knew she had done the right thing telling him to stand down. A few days later, Teshi found herself caught in a wildebeest stampede while she was out hunting. She panicked and couldn't find a way out. She almost gave up, but felt a strong pair of teeth on her neck pulling her away. The last thing she remembered was seeing a brown mane before passing out. When she came around, she found herself in the jungle near Pride Rock. She looked around and saw Lutalo. He told her that she had passed out for a few hours and that he had saved her. Teshi thanked him for it. Soon, Teshi began to wonder whether the relationship between them had evolved or not. She soon developed feelings for Lutalo and finally told him. urned out he felt the same. So, that night, they proclaimed themselves as mates. Teshi was always there for Fayola, as Lutalo began to develop a rivalry with a rogue named Maxx, who was Fayola's bethroted.
