Personality: Good with voicing reason to fights, Vikela is one to have on your side in case of said fights. Not many respect her and her rather...odd ways, but she, herself, respects those who think that way. She doesn't get angry often and, if anything, loves to be in peppy moods. She also loves to sleep, but that doesn't make her lazy like lions, she just likes the dreams she has; even if they are nightmares.

History: Vikela once lived by herself in the land of another pride. There, she served the same purpose as she did later in the Prideland's. While still there, she had become pregnant with her son, Rafiki. As a child, Rafiki was just as wild as he was as an adult, something Vikela found hard to deal with sometimes. Although he did mellow out, he still acted similar to his mother.

When Rafiki was a little older than a teen, the great rains of the safari separated the two. Vikela tried looking for her son, but to no avail. However, as time went on, she stumbled upon the Prideland's, where she met the queen; Uru. Uru had her own two sons to care for, so they at least shared something in common. Uru allowed Vikela to stay in the Prideland's. While staying, Vikela was reunited with her son.

All was well, eventually, the oldest son of Uru, Mufasa, fell in love with a lioness named Sarabi. The pair eventually had a cub whom was to be presented to the kingdom. Rafiki was unsure of this presenting situation, so Vikela, instead, presented the cub; whom was revealed to be Kijito. Rafiki promised his mother that if Mufasa and Sarabi were to have another cub, that he'd present it that time instead of her.

Other notes: Vikela is still alive, surprisingly, but rests mostly in the tree Rafiki paints in

Vikela's fur color is not due to aging, thus, making her more gray than her son

When rendering: Vikela looks like her son, obviously, but with different features:
1.)  Her hair/mane: Vikela's hair/mane is not fluffy like her sons, it's much more smoothened out
What to render it from:
-Render it to have less hair/mane spikes and make it overall smoother
