Loyal to his ideals.

The Queen disrespects me. This pride needs strength; what greater strength comes from those with greater understanding of hardship? Six weak lionesses are worth one who understands pain. Strength comes from experience; why can she not see that?

--

Izem is a large male, weighing in at 530 lbs and standing 4.3 feet tall. His stature is an intimidating one. His body is decorated with scars varying in length and size. His most noticeable are two gashes across his nose, more circular than slice shaped, which have exposed his dark skin and no longer allow hair to grow. He also has several cuts and bite marks on his legs, shoulders, and flanks.

Izem has a cold stare. Actually, everything about him is cold. His refined posture, the soft thuds of his paws making contact with the ground, even the way his fur moves has a dangerous aura to it. His eyes are a hard amber rimmed with dark fur, making them pop out more prominently. His face is nearly always expressionless, or stony in appearance. A smile has not graced his maw in ages; the closest thing to one has been a cruel twist of his upper lips into something resembling a sick grin or a snarl.

When he walks, hard muscle ripples beneath a sleek, tan pelt. Izem holds himself with a cool regality, head high, tail curled slightly. His long, thick mane is a tapestry of dark browns, golds, and honeys that spreads over his shoulders down to the end of his humerus.

Izem is a handsome lion, but he looks unapproachable. Formidable. Dangerous.

Personality

He can be as chilly as his appearance would suggest. Izem has a deep, almost calming rumble of a voice that does not fit his appearance at all, but his tone can quickly grow aloof and clipped in nature. His words are curt and to the point; there is no beating around the bush with this one. If the truth is asked for, the truth shall be made known.

This lion holds strength in high regard -- not necessarily physical strength, as he knows full well that it will not always win a fight -- as well as some form of loyalty. Not necessarily loyalty to an individual; rather, the devotion to an idea or the coalition as a whole.

He is a calculating individual, mind always working. While he does have physical strength as an advantage, he prefers to use his head first and come up with a plan of action for whatever task lies ahead. Izem also has a fairly strong sense of vengeance.

He kind of has abandonment issues.

Izem is actually, and secretly, quite fond of cubs and, when he was around them, would often spend his free time playing with them, telling them stories, and practicing hunting or battle moves with them. They were his favorite members of his birth pride, besides the ladies, of course, for whom he would show his chivalrous side. He would take on the role of a secondary father for any cub who may feel lonely.

Lionesses and cubs are the only ones who will ever see a glimpse of kindness in him. For the former, he holds a tone of respect and makes sure that their thoughts are heard thoroughly before he replies. He does not ever mean to disrespect them, though he has no problem quelling disputes with a snide comment or two. That, though, is rare. Izem is his most friendly around lionesses.

He has a strong bond with the other males of his brotherhood, and he would never think to betray them. While he, too, wants to lead and become a king himself, Izem respects the decisions of his leaders and holds them in high regard. He might be caught joking with them occasionally, and even showing some sort of affection, though he always keeps himself looking his most powerful in their presence.

He believes his actions are justified. His goal in bringing the lone lionesses in was to strengthen the pride, not divide it. He made sure that his new additions proved themselves worthy; currently, he is just irritated with his Queen's apparent jealousy. The new lionesses still obey her, don't they? What happened to being able to speak opinions? Sure, they mess up here and there, but they're new. Show some leniency.

His current plans, as of now, are to take his lionesses and abandon the godforsaken pride called Nguro. They are a lost cause. He loved Rujeko, believe it or not, but she has abandoned him for tradition. So be it.

Loyal to the King

There is nothing wrong with expanding the pride. Sure, he didn't go about it exactly the right way, but the new lionesses will come around eventually -- well, they would have, but someone kicked them out.

Adani is a tawny-colored lioness with bright amber eyes. She stands 3.8 feet at the shoulder, weighs in around 260 pounds, and has a sleek, lithe build. Her tail is long and has an extra fluffy tuft of fur at the end. Her muzzle, tail tip, and ears are all slightly darker in color than her base coat.

She has a proud neck, strong hindquarters, and firm shoulders. Her eyes are framed by darker lashes and fur, making them pop out. Her canines are a little longer than normal, causing her maw to always be partially opened, whether or not it appears to be. She has a slash across her chest from an accident as a cub.

Her fur is short and fine, though it is thick enough that it could be considered coarse. It grows longer around her elbows, chest, ears, and underbelly. She does still have cub spots, much to her embarrassment, that have not faded, though it does run in her family. Her mother, for instance, didn't fully lose her spots until she was about eight.

Adani's dappling will eventually fade to near invisible, and she can't wait for that to occur.

Personality

Her gait is smooth and flowing, nearly regal in appearance, and her face always holds a confident, almost mischievous expression. She is somewhat flirtatious, stubborn, and curious. She likes attention, though she does quickly get a little awkward and bashful if a male flirts back. As of late, she has become extremely formal, curt, and calculating.

Adani has a manipulative side to her as well, however. She has learned how to twist her words and actions to make others feel certain ways in order to gain some amount of favor with her mother, who was always colder and distant. Since the old lioness's passing, Adani tried hard to block away that part of her, though, as of late, it has begun to show again quite prominently.

She is fairly friendly, extremely loyal, and ready for challenges. She is stubborn and has a dominant streak to her, but she tries to avoid hate conflicts. Adani is an excellent hunter and works well in a team.

She was the only one of her siblings to survive past a week old, as her mother had been elderly and sick when they had been born. Growing up, she strove to be the perfect lioness: great hunting technique, an acceptable show of dominance, and completely loyal to her pride. Now, that loyalty is questioned. She does not agree with the Queen, and, while she doesn't like the new lionesses, she's not opposed to giving them a chance.

Her opinions are not voiced to the other lionesses, though she does show respect towards the concubines.
