Name:
Mandlenkosi
Meaning Powerful, Strong King, Chief
Nicknames:Kosi Primarily
Mandy by those Close to Him
Age:7.5 Years
Gender:Male
Rank:Banished King
Desired Rank:
Dominant Male/King Again.
He'd prefer his Original Pride, but it's just Not in the Cards.
Appearance:
Credit for All Images Belongs to Robbobert on DA. These are Stock Images.
Being an older male in his prime, Mandlenkosi is a large lion, standing at a 4.4 feet tall with a heavy weight of 560 lbs normally, though he's lost a bit since being on his own recently, putting him at 545-550 right now. Since he's only been on his own for a short period of time, the male is still quite bulky and has been capable of bullying other animals from left over kills. The large feline is muscular, with a wide and bulky build. Large paws leave deep indents in the loose soil as he walks, having paws like shovels. He has a set of wide shoulders and a muscular chest, with narrower hips. Kosi's got a large, wide head, which signals his age, and sides that are taut with muscle.
Kosi's coat is not the standard golden, tawny color, instead he is more of a darker tan color with a very obvious hue to it. His underbelly is a lighter, creamy color that covers his belly, the insides of his legs, and up his neck to his chin. His mane is large, definitely something befitting a monarch male. It starts at the top of his head, carrying down his neck, over his shoulders and down his chest before it ends just passed his shoulders and trailing down his belly. It's thick and robust, much like his build in general, the hair lower on it being quite coarse, whereas it's softer around his face. His dense mane offers protection to him from attacks, but it's a bit patchy from a recent fight he had, though it's growing back in. His mane starts off as blonde and darker red brown around his face, before darkening to black as it goes down his neck.
Besides his size and coloration, the one thing that stands out about Mandlenkosi is the sheer amount of scars on his body, both old and new. Having been a former king of a pride, he spent years defending it from other lions and predators that threatened it. There aren't many that are noteable, however, the sheer volume of them is. His entire body is bumpy and rough from scars, but it's the new ones on his body, red hued and puckered with anger, that stand out. The cover his frame, harshly clawed and bitten in over the other scars on his body. There are several claw marks on his sides, hips, and legs, with bite marks following suit around his neck and in his mane. There are several bite marks on his back and hips, and one on his front leg that lets him walk with a limp right now.
Kosi's voice is a deep basso, slightly raspy from age, but still something that can be pleasing when spoken in the right tone. His eyes are a bright, slightly faded, golden color. His scent is something musky but ashy, subtly pleasing but easily indentifiable.
Personality:
Stoic || Aggressie || Stubborn || Protective || Loyal || Straight Forward || Direct || Reserved, but Not Quiet || Observant || Average Intelligence || Experienced || Reclusive at Times || Gruff || Rough || Abrasive || Harsh || Critical || Shell of Who he Once Was || Damaged || Slow to Trust || Jaded || Wary & Cautious
Mandlenkosi is not at all the male he was when he was leading his pride, now he's mostly just a shell of the male he was. Stoic and almost reserved, it's very hard to get a read on the male when encounering him. He doesn't show emotions easily, keeping himself guarded physically and emotionally. It's highly unlikely that anyone, let alone a stranger, could decipher his motives and emotions just by looking at him or even talking to him. It would take time and plenty of careful observation to determine anything about the male. This is partially because he is slow to trust now, but also because he just doesn't care a whole lot anymore.
Unlike younger males or other lion in general, Kosi isn't the type to beat around the bush or hint at things. Instead he does everything and speaks in a very direct manner, sometimes coming off as abrasive or callous because of this. He doesn't sugar coat or anything, however, he tends to be quite reserved, not exactly quiet where he is shy, but he only speaks or communicates when he finds the necessity. He doesn't bother to entertain himself, or others, with frivolous things. His harsher and more critical temperment can cause him to ruffle the fur others, however, it's important to remember he wasn't always this way. He's merely a whisper of who he was, and periodically the image of who he was breathes back into existence before fading once again.
Still, he is a dedicated and loyal subject, someone who whole heartedly supports those he is loyal to completely. Their struggles are his, their problems are his, and their fights are his. That's how it was in his former pride, and that still rings true in the male today. Of course, he has no one now, but if he found someone he bonded with, he'd have their back all of the way, no matter what. Is he a bit gruff? Sure. However, the male is someone you'd want on your side in the toughest of times, as he is resilient and not the type to give up. Which is why he hasn't given up despite losing everything that was important to him.
Now, Kosi is not of superb intelligence, falling in at more average. However, the one thing he truly has going for him is his experience. His years of experience allows him to apply that to his decision making and choices, able to fall back on it when needed. Even so, though, the male is incredibly damaged, inside and out, and is quite wary and cautious of others. This jaded nature does have it's faults, however, because it does make him quite wary, he is more observant to things he might not have been to before. Is he still aggressive and explosive at times? Of course. However, he doesn't just rush into things head first anymore, he takes his time, only rushing in to fight when he finds it necessary.
Overall, realy, he's not at all who he used to be, but when the cards are down, he's someone you'd want on your side.
History:
Kosi has a history that is relatively normal for the most part, at least in the beginning. He was born into his natal pride, before eventually leaving it at shortly after 2 years old. Having been a large lion even at that age, his pride felt it was better for him to leave early, the king viewing him as a potential threat since he was getting on in age. Kosi has no desire to take over, but he left with his dignity nonetheless.
He traveled on his own for about a year or so, but eventually found a pride of lionesses all close to him in age with an elderly male at their helm. He decided to challenge the male, and beat him in contest for the pride, but spared the male's life as chased him off instead. He even went so far as to spare the male's cubs, raising them as best he could like they were own, and eventually fathering his own within the pride.
For years he lead the pride successfully, helping to grow them and let them thrive under his protection. He loved his pride, and they loved him, but, unfortunately, all good things come to an end. After almost four years as the King of his pride, a coalition of younger males drove him and the others out of his territory, nearly killing him in the process. He had fought his hardest, but they were out numbered, and therefore, out done by them. He can only imagine what the males have done to his pride and his cubs, but he isn't in any condition to turn back and try and do something about it. So now, he is merely trying to focus on healing both physically and mentally while coming up with a plan.
All he desires now, is to be on top again, or, at least, close to it.

Name:
Itai
Meaning "to do, act, or perform"
Age:8 Years
Gender:Female/Lioness
Rank:Huntress
Desired Rank:Lead Huntress or Second in Command
She has no desire to be Queen, but she is fiercely loyal to Nnenia and wishes to see her and her cubs protected at all cubs.
Appearance:
Credit for this Image Belongs to Tala-Stock. This is a Stock Image.
Itai is a lioness of seemingly collassol proportion, however, her personality has as much to do with that as her size. Standing at 3.8 feet tall at the shoulder, she can make even males feel small, especially with her total weight of nearly 370 lbs. Being a mature lioness still in her prime, she has the size and strength of an older lioness but with the energy and will of a younger one. However, her age is obvious when setting sights upon the female for multiple reasons.
For one, Itai has begun the broadening the all lionesses go through when they age. Things such as having a wider stance, more pronounced hips and shoulders, her head has become more broad with her ear placement widening. She still has more to go, but the promise of her becoming even more formidable before she becomes a true elder linger in her toned physique. The second is the sheer amount of scars that the female holds. They litter her body like a gnawed on corpse. The remnaints of scrapes, scratches, gouges, and bites all can be seen as raised, bumpy, and discolored flesh within the coat of her body. However, most noticeably are the scars on her face. It's obvious she had a vicious go with another lion, with clear rake makes down the right side of her face. An old injury that has left her right eye blind and silver, which is a great contrast to the bright and brilliant amber of her left.
In terms of coloration for her appearance, Itai would be described as more of a sandy color, with it being a pale combination of grey and light tan. So she resembles the greyish sand color of a beach. Her underbelly, though, is a creamier color that melds well with the light biege of her base coat. Her nose and tail tip are black, and on her ears are dark black circles on the back. However, one of her ears is bitten and ripped a bit, so it's harder to see the ring through the scar tissue there.
Itai's voice is a deeper sound with a raspy but still feminine edge to it, especially in the morning when she's just awoken. There is a hoarseness to the female's vocals that seems to represent the female's appearance and being to a perfect T.
Personality:Brutish || Stubborn to the Core || Volatile || Impatient || Efficient || Direct || Fierce & Fearless || Loyal || Matured || Experienced || Dry || Cranky || Aggressive || Snarky & Sarcastic || Short Tempered || Indifferent || Aloof || Callous
