Relation to the Lion King: In a Pride with Kula and Malka’s son and travelled with Zira for a while

Xiomara and her sister Layla were born in a faraway Pride. They grew up together, Xiomara being trained in combat and Layla being trained in hunting. They were the perfect team and always did everything together. Nothing would separate them, that is, until their Pride came under attack when they were adults.

Xiomara fought whilst Layla protected the other cubs in the Pride. Xiomara defeated lion after lion, however, their leader was defeated by the opposition. Layla bowed down to the new King, but Xiomara refused. She ran away.

It broke her heart, leaving her sister behind, but she couldn’t stay in the Pride.

Soon, she met a brown lioness with a stripe and decided to travel with her. She had been exiled from her Pride and together, they fought off any advances from male lions.

That is until Kweli approached them. Xiomara could see that he was different from the other males. He seemed scared and alone. Xiomara let him join their little group, but Zira hated him, so she split.

After wandering for many days and nights, Xiomara and Kweli found the Utendaji Pride.

A few months later, Layla joined as well. Xiomara was overjoyed. Her sister had stayed in the Pride for a few days after when the longing for her sister grew so strong she had to leave. She managed to track Xiomara down and the sisters were reunited at last.

The Utendaji Pride was set up so I was able to educate everyone on musicals, one of my favourite things (get the pun?)! I just love them and their songs are so powerful, so each member of the Utendaji Pride is related to a different musical. Every picture of them will relate to a song and I will post the link of the song so you are able to listen to it, as well as a context in the story of the musical.
