Name: Erevu (meaning 'clever' or 'talented')

Parents: Judas and Tamu

Siblings: Ari, Duni, Zuri (deceased), Ayodele, Kayode (deceased), Lindiwe, Gwandoya, Jiro, Jalena, Kesi, Kayin

Mate: Elia

Cubs: None

Personality: Erevu is a very adventurous and fun-loving lion, liking nothing more than to romp around having adventures and to hang around with his best friend Ayodele. He has a talent for not only breaking the rules but often getting himself into trouble as a result which often drives Tamu to distraction trying to keep him in line. Unfortunately, this means he is also very casual when the situation calls to be serious and he also has a problem with authority which later brings him into conflict with Ayodele. He is stubborn, once he has his mind set on something then nothing will change it and he will argue and fight back until either he wins and argument or his opponent gives up.

History: After Ari left the pride, Tamu was heartbroken that her only cub had left her. She sought out comfort in an equally distraught Judas and soon Tamu was pregnant again. Tamu couldn't be happier but kept quite about her news as Enu and Baako were going through tough times and she didn't want to seem selfish.

Soon Tamu gave birth to Erevu and his twin sister Duni.

Erevu was always closest with his half-brother, Ayodele, and the two would often break the rules and drive everyone mad. They often avoided Duni as she often told Tamu of their plans and ruined their fun. Erevu often fought with Duni and called her names as well as driving her away when he and Ayodele went to play together. It wouldn't be until he was much older that he realised how badly this hurt Duni and apologised to her properly.

When Judas eventually died, Ayodele assumed leadership of the pride and Erevu became his second-in-command as he had always intended to since they were cubs. Things went smoothly for a time...until the arrival of Teshi.

Seeing how happy Ayodele and his new mate were, Erevu began to search for a mate himself. However, Ayodele told him he couldn't bring his mate back to the pride or any cubs he had with her. Outraged, Erevu argued with him and the two brothers fell out rather badly. The two could not see eye-to-eye on anything after that and refused to have anything to do with the other until the other apologised. Both Baako and Tamu tried to get them to reconcile but neither Erevu or Ayodele would back down.

Then, one day, his niece Lesedi went missing on the savannah. Since he was very close with her, Erevu volunteered to search for her (anything to get himself away from Ayodele for a while) and set off to look for her. Soon, however, he met the same fate that she did and was captured by humans. He did find Lesedi, he was shoved into a cage with her and a lion-leopard hybrid who he later learnt was named Elia.

That night, Erevu managed to break the lock on the cage and he, Elia and Lesedi all escaped back to freedom. However, they were very far from home now and had no idea which way their pride was. Despite barely knowing them, Elia agreed to travel with them and help them find their way home.

The trio were able to follow the tracks that the trucks had made but eventually they became lost. Elia did her best to navigate them through the territories she knew but it became very clear to Erevu that finding their family again would be no easy task. It surprised him how much he missed everyone, even Ayodele.

During their travels, they happened across another lost cub named Daemon who came from Ikeena's Pride. As soon as Erevu learnt this he planned to leave the cub to fend for himself. He remembered his other niece Abeni being seduced by life in Ikeena's Pride and wanted nothing to do with anyone who claimed to be from that pride. However, Elia berated him for wanting to do that and insisted that the cub be taken with them. If they found their own pride then surely it wouldn't be too difficult to find another large pride. Despite his misgivings, and somewhat ashamed of himself, Erevu finally agreed and Daemon came along with them, bonding almost instantly with Lesedi.
