Pride: River Pride

Personality: Thabo was a flirtatious, rude male for most of his life. He was a huge suck-up and liked to keep on the right side of his leader, but ocassionally breaks the rules from time to time. He doesn't have much repsect for females, he believes they are just for hunting and making more cubs and finds them very shallow actually. However,this horrible personality of his changes completely after Kale is brought into his life. Kale turns Thabo into an utter softy because Thabo can relate to him more than he ever did with any other lion. Thabo becomes much more respectful and a great father to Kale.

History: A lot like his adopted cub, Thabo was abandoned by his parents. His mother thought it best to leave him with the River Pride because their own pride was under threat with only three member left. Thabo grew up as the adopted son of Kgosi's parents. When Thabo was 12 motnhs old, Kgosi was born. Thabo still thought he was the heir to the pride, but he was soon taken over by Kgosi because he was not the blood son of the pride leaders.

Thabo stayed angry at his 'brother' for the rest of his life, and when his adoptive parents died, Kgosi took over. Thabo was disgusted that his brother now had females chucking themselves at him, hoping to become queen of the River Pride. However, Thabo did get lucky with one female, but he didn't treat her, or his daughter, Baako with any respect.

The rest of the River pride became increasingly annoyed by Thabo's flirtatious ways and his rude comments and he was banished until he could return as a different lion. Furious, Thabo stormed off and spent that whole night sulking under a tree. The next morning, Thabo suddenly awoke to find a small, golden male cub snuggled up next to him. Startled, Thabo jumped backwards, hitting himself on the tree and waking up the cub. Thabo shouted at the cub for laying in such a stupid place. The rather brave, but upset cub shouted back at him, explaining that he had been adanboned by his parents for no reason. He asked Thabo if he knew what that was like. Thabo's eyes shifted at this question. He did know. After that moment of remembering, Thabo took Kale under his wing, and became a big soft, dad. He later returned to the River Pride with Kale.
