Description

I felt like fleshing out my characters a bit, so I created some family for them - I might not go much further than this because I tend to go wild with world building and then do nothing with it so this was just for fun <3 Bolded are the 'main' characters.

Left:

Eniola - Temitope

Folami - Opeyemi - Nkiru - Itoro

Nkiru's family comes from a pride of semi-nomadic lions who pride themselves on the mutation running through their bloodline that causes all the lionesses to have manes. King Temitope declared that whatever lioness could bear him an heir would become his queen. After three litters, Eniola finally succeeded with a son, and took the role of queen, with her cubs regarded as the true princesses and princes.
While Folami and Opeyemi revelled in their newfound position and fought for the attention and praise of their father, Nkiru found herself resenting her pride more and more. Though she loved her cub brother, Prince Itoro, she knew her family's spoiling of him would change him for the worse. As an adult she decided to leave her pride as she no longer felt connected to any of them.

Right:

Mchanga - Penjani - Sethunya

From the southern prides, Mchanga and his sisters were born as non-royals but are closely related and thus stay with their king. Mchanga acts as a guard and fighter of rogues, while Penjani and Sethunya are talented huntresses. The three have a very close relationship, often friendly teasing each other and spending time together, especially since their parents passed away. They are also very close to the rest of their pride members.

Though as a blood relative to the king Mchanga could challenge the other males in his pride for a higher position, he doesn't particularly care for it - he's not one to lead, and is happy just being a member of the pride.

Middle bottom:

Libani

(Though I have drawn them fully grown, they are younger than Itoro)

During one of their seasonal migrations, Temitope's pride came across the southern prides and was granted some time to hunt and rest before they moved on. During this time, Mchanga and Nkiru were cubs and met. While Nkiru was quite stoic and distant, Mchanga took a liking to her and opted to spend time with her. At this point, Itoro hadn't been born, and thus Nkiru was just another regular cub, so no one cared about her spending tie with the other cub until they had to leave.
Years later, when Nkiru left her pride and retraced it's path, she came back to the territories of the southern prides. After initially confusing her for a male rogue, Mchanga recognized her and welcomed her warmly. Though still stoic, she did begin to warm to her cubhood friend, but panicked at the idea of committing to a new pride and left again. Not long after she found herself pregnant, and gave birth to Libani.

Mchanga was made by Ko-LionWorld as part of a breedable adopt , as such I cannot use his 'parents' and have left them blank. His two sisters I modelled after him and colour corrected a little for variety.
