Description
Bakari: "One who will succeed" (Swahili)
Pride Affiliation: Pridelands (Birth), Outlands (Formerly), Unknown (Currently)
Rank: Subordinate (Formerly), Outcast (Formerly), Rogue (Currently)
Relations: Son to Kondo, Zira , Brother to Asani , Rukiya , Nuka, Vitani
Other Relations: Kovu (Adopted brother)
Noticeable feature(s): Unlike his littermate, Rukiya, Bakari takes fully on after their father colorwise, while his eye color is from Zira. He also lacks any physical markings from both parents.
"Bakari, Zira's second son, is perhaps the one who acts the most spoiled and entitled. He boasts about himself and loves to act like he's the best lion to ever exist. This behavior often annoys the other lionesses, but of course, Zira doesn't do much to stop this behavior. In fact, Scar even seems to encourage it as well! And thus, Bakari grows to be a selfish and arrogant lion, very rarely caring about others and continuing to be a boastful and rude lion. After Scar's fall and being banished to the Outlands, Bakari can barely stand being in such a dead place and makes no attempt to hide it. It often enrages Zira to no end, causing the two to argue often. Once he, Asani and Rukiya are old enough, they decide enough is enough and one night.. Leave together, leaving behind the only life they ever knew, but at this point.. What more did they have to lose? Plus it was obvious their mother was only descending into further madness. As Bakari put it, he much rather risk the life of a rogue than to die for an insane cause that their mother refuses to let go of. And thus, they vanish into the night.. Not knowing their departure causes Zira to slip further into her own madness..."
Ah yes, this guy! I adopted him from Nala15 ages ago and finally settled on making him one of Zira's many cubs whom she had hoped would be Scar's heir but like the rest, he too was rejected for whatever reason. Not like it bothers Bakari, as he grows up to be a rather unpleasant lion in general. Since he was inspired by Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, I did my best to show that in his personality, just being boastful, arrogant, rude and just unpleasant in general. But even he couldn't stand Zira's descend into madness. Like Asani and his sister Rukiya, no one knows where the three vanished off to.. Hope you guys enjoy~
His cub design and story are mine, while the adult design (Or mostly a headshot. XD) was adopted from Nala15
