ADOPTED FROM DEFYINGGRAVITY

Name: Sauda (meaning 'dark beauty')

Breed: Lion

Parents: Unknown (deceased)

Siblings: None

Personality: Sauda is quite quiet and shy. She tends to stick on her own and won't interact with other lions much. However, she is a very loyal friend and will stick by any pride or friends she has. She is a talented huntress and can take down large prey almost singlehandedly but she doesn't like to boast about her skill because of the circumstances that surround her being on her own.

History: Sauda was born in a small pride and from the moment she was born she was seen as a bad omen because of her unnaturally dark fur. The only one who refused to see her as such was her mother and her father refused to accept her as his cub. Unfortunately, her pride was caught in a devestating wild fire and many of them were killed.

Sauda miraculalously survived but her mother had perished in the flames. She was abandoned by the remaining pride members because they blamed her for the fire. She was forced to live on her own for most of her life having to teach herself to hunt and survive in the savannah.

When she was an adult she came across a small band of wandering rogues who readily accepted her into their group. She went with her new found friends and stayed with them when they claimed a territory and started their own pride together. Sauda couldn't have been happier.

Relation to TLK: Joins Ari's pride. Ari is Mufasa's granddaughter.
