Dislikes: Hunting (like, hunting animals) Abeni (sometimes) Willdabeest, being teased.

Fears: Hunting, Willdabeest

History: She was bron into a very strong pride, but when she very young (just old enough to walk) her pride was resting in the planes and was trampeld by a heard of Willdabeest.  She got kicked out of the stampeed, but she got kicked in the eye, and went blind and had many small scars on her face.  She walked and walked for days before being found by Nala. She brought her back to her pride and they took care of her.  She became very close friends with Talulla and Obi, but didn't really like Abeni.  She was picked on quite often by some of the other cubs in the pride, but Obi would stand up for her, and she later developed a crush for him.  Zuri licked the little nickname he gave her, but she only lets him call her that.  After they get lost in  the outlands, she becomes very dependent on the others.  When it was time for her first hunt, everyone understood her fear of willdabeest, so Nala lead her to a heard a Tompson Gazelle.  She, very skittishly, mannaged to kill one, and everyone was very proud of her, especialy Obi.  Knowing that gave her chills. 

Relation to TLK: Has a crush on Obi, who is Vitani's adopted son.
