Description

Edit 6/24/23): This reference sheet is now considered OUTDATED. Asani has gone through the following changes: spots are no longer exact, chest fluff has been added, and eyelid color has been changed.

Asani is a young adult hyena born to parents of unrevealed background. He wandered for at least 2 years on his own for reasons he is not open to discussing, not seeing a single hyena clan along the way until he found the Jiwe clan. Though he became close with Bakari and maintains a distant but polite relationship with the clan's males, he does not tolerate the clan's lifestyle and openly resents the Queen and her sisters. This hatred causes conflicts between Asani and the royal sisters often. He does the bare minimum to follow their orders, and always with obvious disgust.

Thanks to a high pain tolerance and a rigorous personality, the constant spats and hazings are not enough to stop him from speaking his mind.

For now, he begrudgingly remains in the clan, mostly in a small satellite clique (as hyenas often do) containing Bakari and occasionally Oyana, avoiding the ruling sisters for the most part. He stays because he finally has a chance to live with the (slim, in this case) benefits of a group, but mostly it is for Bakari's sake. Asani does not want Bakari to have to fend for himself in this broken clan any longer.

He would rather leave and take Bakari with him, if only Bakari could be convinced to go.

---

First round of reference sheets. I started the bases back in August so I don't like how they look, but I've already made them, oh well. Maybe one day I'll make more.

Body parts that do not look specifically unique for certain characters have been shamelessly copied onto other bases. I'm not confident in my style yet and I don't want to cause any confusion with how each characters paws or shoulders look, for example. They are identical.
