Personality: Uzuri is a loudmouthed and wild girl. She stands up for what she believes in, and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She stands up for her loved ones, and can’t stand it if someone is in pain. She can be very reckless, and sometimes disobeys others. However, she is very shy when it comes to her feelings, and won’t tell anyone about them, not even her best friends. She is also very loyal, and will always stand by her word, no matter what. She doesn’t believe in manipulating others, or using others to get what she wants either; she is very fair and just.

History: Uzuri was born in a large pride, led by her parents. Even though he and his mate were older, and they didn’t expect a cub, they loved her to no end, especially her father. He would spend all of the time he could with her, taking her on walks, teaching her about the Circle of Life, and telling her stories. He told her stories about when he was a cub, and how he lived under the rule of an evil lion named Scar. He also told her how he met her mother, and how they formed a pride. Uzuri was fascinated by his stories, and loved being with her father. She also loved being with her mother too, and Makena taught her about being a great huntress and fighter. Soon Uzuri was a young teen, but one day hyenas invaded her home, and killed most of her pride. She ran away and after a few days returned back to her home to find all of her pride members dead, including her parents. She was devastated and after burying her dead pridemates, she ran away and just roamed around Africa. After a few weeks of roaming she came to a waterhole when she found a young male lion that looked lost and afraid. She calmly approached him and asked him what was wrong. He told her that he got separated from his father, and Uzuri offered to help the cub, whose name was Erevu, find his father. She told Erevu her name, and for a few hours they were trying to find Erevu’s father when a large brown lion tackled Uzuri and pinned her down. Erevu told the lion to stop, and the large male got off of Uzuri. She asked him what his name was, and he told her Dogo. She introduced herself, and explained that she found Erevu, his son. Dogo told her that he wasn’t really Erevu’s father, just his adopted father. Dogo told her that they were in a dangerous part of Africa, and that once they got to safer grounds they could go their separate ways. So, Uzuri spent the next few days travelling with the two males, and she also began to build a good bond with Erevu, and at the same time, she began to become very good friends with Dogo. Soon they came across a beautiful area near a jungle, where Dogo sadly said that Uzuri would be safe to roam around. Knowing that she had no one else, she asked to join their little group. Erevu immediately and excitedly said that she could, while Dogo calmly, yet happily, said that she could stay. Uzuri was happy, and the group spent their time together, roaming about, but building good relationships. One night Dogo talked with Uzuri about what happened before he met her and Erevu, and Uzuri was saddened by his story. She told him about her life, and he was saddened by hers’. Dogo also told her that she was a good mother for Erevu, and she told him that he was a good father. The two became very close, and very soon Uzuri began to have strong feelings for Dogo, but she never told him, faring that if she did and he didn’t feel the same way, then their friendship would be ruined.
