Age: About 4 Months
Gender: Male
Group: New Pride
Role: Cub
Preferred Rank: King, Obviously
Rai has an interesting coat. It appears an almost rusty color with prominent red undertones. His chin, chest, belly, and the insides of his legs all gradient to more of a cream color. Some near-white points make themselves known in these areas and just underneath his eyes. His spots are dark and prominent, and he has more russet striping down the outsides of his legs and along his tail.
His big doe eyes are a deep brown, alight with an almost constant, subtle glint that gives off the impression that something has piqued his curiosity. These will eventually lighten to a soft amber. Large eyes, gigantic paws, and ears too big for his head give his the look of a slightly younger cub, though he is of an average size for his age.
Rai has a more average score in body composition. He is not slender, but he is not bulky either. This cub sits about smack dab in the middle and is growing in a way that promises a lion of considerable strength and normal agility. As he grows older, his coat will lighten somewhat but maintain the red earth tint to it. Lighter striping along his back and dorsal line will also begin to appear.
Personality
Rai is the quiet cub. He is certainly not a pushover, but he doesn't put himself out in the fray as much as other cubs might. He is one to stick to the side and watch events transpire. Rai has confidence, composure, and a brilliant mind, though most of his thoughts remain hidden. This little one is more soft-spoken, having learned from his earliest days that silence is the key to survival. He is, however, still a sweetheart.
He is much more subtle in his endeavors, compared to those adults in Titus' pride, and is not one to openly goad or bait others into a fight. He never will be. Rai is empathetic and uses his thoughtfulness for the benefit of others rather than to exploit their weaknesses. Even the smallest details capture Rai's attention, but he is completely capable of zooming out to view the big picture as well. Rai is smart, despite his age, and will continue to grow as such. Witty comments come naturally, though they will rarely leave his mind to exit his mouth. He will not hesitate to let a lion or lioness know he dislikes them.
As far as his own individual traits go, Rai got the inability to refuse a challenge. He is also not the most outgoing of lions, preferring to remain passive aggressive until a newcomer earns his trust. In his later years, he will become a bit more of a flirt as well, and quite a capable fighter.
History
Rai was born in the pride ruled by his father, Titus. He has lived thus far relatively unseen, but the latest snap put his life in extreme peril; he was one of the few lucky enough to be snatched up by the lionesses as they escaped.
