Age: Seven
Gender: Masculine
Pride: None
Rank: The sister's mate

Thoughts on the Sisters: Zhenga is a female whom Tahir is fairly weary of due to their past. He tends to stray away from her and is.. unaware of just how deep her feelings were for him. As for Viyan, must he truly explain? He is, after all, her mate. Further explanation is doubted to be required.

Appearance:

Tahir stands at the maximum height for a lion (in this rp). His stature is a solid 4.5 feet, his weight over 500 pounds and physique muscular and broad. He has a large mane upon his head, splitting at the very top and making it seem as if he has curtain bangs. The remainder of it ends at the top of his shoulders. The male has another layer beneath his mane, however, it is the same colour as the rest of his body.

His entire coat consists of one singular colour: white. Well, in certain lighting anyways. His pelt is a creamier white, his paws and muzzle being a slightly lighter hue than the rest of him. This genetic mutation is one that, rather than making him an outcast, made him more of a king. It's surprising how his ego didn't skyrocket from the attention he has received over his coat. Then again, Tahir is a humble thing, and with his bright coat comes disadvantages. For one, he has learned to be more agile and stealthy. Additionally, due to his large height, he is slower and cannot run as quickly.

The male has an intimidating gaze and expression, though it may swiftly shift into a welcoming one, and carries himself with pride, dignity, and grace. He has enough muscle that with every step, they ripple, and always holds his head high. Tahir's nose is a light liver colour, and his eyes are a bright yellow. In terms of scarring, a few are scattered around his body from past fights and hunting accidents. It's expected when trying to survive.

His voice is a deep, raspy sound.

Personality:

Loud - Violent - Observant - Threatening - Aggressive - Intelligent - Extroverted - Reserved - Patient - Respectful - Opinionated - Humble

Tahir is a lion with a unique personality that is fully jumbled. He has odd traits, many not even similar to one another. One of the main things that most notice about him first is that he is respectful. He is known to keep his composure so long as he is not disrespected and is a humble being. However, like many others, if he is betrayed or disrespected, then Tahir will not take kindly to it. Unlike Viyan, he is not known to offer second chances. If another makes a large mistake, he will not forgive them. They may beg for his forgiveness, and even then he will not accept it. He takes trust fairly seriously. Once broken, it cannot be repaired.

He is an oddly loud individual, often being told to lower his voice. Tahir grows enthusiastic and excited over small things, such as teaching his children certain survival tricks. When that happens, his voice raises and he acts like a cub, chattering and bouncing around. In truth, he's simply excited to share things that he knows with them. A simple reminder to compose himself is all he needs to quiet down and refocus on the task at hand. The same goes for telling a story. Oh, the moment anybody mentions a story, Tahir is there! He is able to come up with one on the spot, and does he ever use that ability to his advantage.

Then again, he is fairly reserved when it comes to himself at times. As far as his past and personality goes, he'll remain silent, only revealing something once a year before vanishing again. It's an oddity, one that he doesn't even realize that he does. Tahir, most importantly, is patient. Being a white lion, he has been taught from a young age to work harder. His coat does not allow him to blend as easily. He has to work harder hunting, stalking, patrolling, and fighting. Being stealthy does not come easy to Tahir. He was trained more severely than others to ensure his survival and had to work harder. What is meant to be an hour hunt turns into a two hour one for him, for it's harder to ensure that he isn't seen. This, in turn, has allowed him to be more observant as well.

Tahir is also opinionated. He will insert his ideas into a conversation if he disagrees, though often strives to keep it professional and diplomatic. The moment an argument ensues, Tahir will leave. He is also the type that, if disagrees, will not follow through with the plan unless persuaded. In a small sense, he can be considered stubborn as well. It isn't his way or no way, simply prefers to hear the entire plan out before participating.

While extroverted, this does not mean that he is kind nor welcoming. No, the moment another is seen, he will switch into an aggressive, violent, and cautious male to ensure his family's survival. Like any father, he would do anything for his family, and that means fight. Even if vowed the other was innocent, Tahir wouldn't trust them. He would watch their every move until he realizes they mean no harm. Then, he grows kinder, allowing his warmer side to shine through. He is stoic until he doesn't have to be. Once that occurs, many will find that he can be rather fun and enjoyable company, not to mention loyal.

3 Years || Lioness || No Pride || The Sister's Daughter

Thoughts on the Sisters: Well, she's obviously biased towards her mother's side. She thinks her aunt has issues, but she's never actually met her.

Aina is a tall lioness, and both parents' genetics play in her favor. Standing at almost four feet to the shoulder, she sports a muscular but agile body type; while she is not built all-agility or all-strength, she has a nice skillset in both. Her endurance is high and, while her speed is not the most remarkable, she is in prime condition to run long distances. Her muscles are well-defined and wiry, certainly enhancing the more intimidating appearance she has.

Aina has graceful, feminine features over all. Large, pale dusty blue eyes are framed by thick eyelashes, dark skin, and sleek white fur. Her nose is a mottled mixture of pink and black with the former color congregating around the center groove. Long, shining teeth are visible with the mischievous grin she occasionally sports.

Aima's coat is white, but she has darker cream and gray shading around her face, ears, shoulders, and rump. Her fur is short, soft, and sleek, keeping her warm but also effectively shedding heat. She has a couple scars, though none are overly noticeable, that she has gained through mainly hunting endeavors. And her being brash. She carries herself with a youthful energy while maintaining a calm composure for the most part. Her voice is deeper than many a lioness.

Personality

If loyalty and protectiveness were personified, they would be Aina. She is a quiet, reserved lioness -- until her family is threatened. Aina's strength is both physical and mental, and she will unleash all of the underworld on the unfortunate soul who dared attempt harm her family in any way. She can have quite the harsh mouth when she feels like it, and sharp claws don't hurt either.

Aina's forte is mental destruction. This female can locate a weakness and stab at buttons like no other. She whips up lies more easily than anything, and she's good at weaving stories. Of course, in her current circumstances, this gift has been used mainly for the entertainment of her younger siblings, but there has been a time or two when she has waged psychological war on another lion or lioness.

Outside of her sibling attitude, she is quite mature. While Aina is aloof and certainly not the most outgoing creature, she can hide it when she needs to and will grin and bear it. She is adventurous, but her idiotic actions died within her first year or so of life. Now, she is much more rational in her decisions and plans before doing.

She enjoys hunting, though playing with cubs is her favorite pastime. She is quite excited for the newest litter incoming, and she has been shadowing her mother for a while now to make sure everything goes smoothly. It is Aina's dream to one day raise a family of her own, but for now, she is content with helping to provide for her siblings.

Totally cliche, but there could be an inside informant to the coalition.
