I've been thinking about ships within the Misfit pride and while I love my Clana ship (Cloud X Sana); I've thought about it and I think Cloud would be better off with Annakiya (Cloudakiya). P.s. Annakiya is smiling in this drawing; she can't emote very well with the withered half of her face.

This is a rough draft of how I think they'd get together ( It was very quickly written; so sorry in advance )-

When Annakiya and Cloud first met they were like polar opposites. Cloud was surly and cantankerous while Annakiya was insecure and submissive. Over a period of time, what seemed to be a flaw in their own personalities, turned out to be a fortitude for the other. Annakiya helped Cloud reopen his heart to others while Cloud became the tenacious reminder of Annakiya's self-worth. Annakiya's self-loathing blinded her to the important role she played in her fellow pridemember's lives. Annakiya would always feel ugly and a burden to her friends.

When Mwindaji entered the scene, Cloud noticed how he abused Annakiya's self-loathing to control her. The scarred faced lion would make it seem that no one but him could love a face like that and with Annakiya craving that connection, ends up doing anything to keep Mwindaji's 'affection'. Cloud is driven insane by this and (since Cloud was never a strong communicator to begin with) he would end up berrating Annakiya for falling for the biggest jerk that ever walked the land. This just helps establish Mwindaji's poisenous words and drives Annakiya further into Mwindaji's control.

Annakiya is mortified when Mwindaji is banished from the Pride for attempting to kill their Water Buffalo herd. The pride say that it's the best thing for Annakiya to be seperated from Mwindaji but Annakiya doesn't take it that way. Deep down Annakiya knows that how Mwindaji treats others is wrong but she is blinded by her own need 'to be needed. In her frustration; Annakiya ends up spouting the same poisen Mwindaji fed her and runs away. No one knows exactly where she is but they knew it would be wherever Mwindaji was.

Fast foward past the Misfit Pride's 'Golden War', Annakiya finally has enough of Mwindaji's abuse and returns to Misfit Pride. Annakiya is met with great joy. Cloud is probably the happiest about Annakiya's return but he remains a little awkward around her; not knowing how to pick up from where they left off. Bit by bit they rekindle their friendship and even begin to realise there might be a little something more but they don't act on it. Annakiya still battles with her self-worth while Cloud's thoughts are still consumed by the loss of his previous family.

After a while Annakiya realizes she's pregnant and as always Cloud is the first to notice his. The sight of Annakiya's swelling belly stirred a strange but familiar feeling within Cloud; a very strong feeling. At every dawn, Cloud would catch a gazelle and leave it by Annakiya's sleeping spot. When the moon raised itself in the sky, Annakiya would spot Cloud sitting at the front of the cave; his piercing blue eyes constantly scanning the horizon. Annakiya felt her heart swell for the attentive snow leopard. Through Annakiya's birth and cub-raising, Cloud was by her side all the way. Cloud was a great Father figure in the little cub's life; he played and trained with the 'little hair-ball' (as Cloud liked to call it). Although Mwindaji is technically the cub's father; the 'little hair-ball' thinks of Cloud as it's real dad.

Cloud and Annakiya, loved each other immensely and never separate from then on.
