Name: Issa
means protection on Swahili
History: Issa's name was given by his godmother.At his birth, Mufasa gave him to some lionesse who was his godmother for a time. Mufasa didn't want lions to know this. His size is very unusual for his breed. No one & not even him are sure why he is as large as he is. Many are struck & intimidated by his size at first...but his humor & kindness brings them back. He is orangish lion, with golden fur. He has no lady, and hasn't for quite some time. After the untimely death of his beloved godmother, after the hyena attack he was already shattered. This caused a caring & passionate Thor to retreat inside himself. Where there he still stays. He is very respectful & nice to others, but rarely lets anyone in. Issa is very observant, nothing hardly ever gets by him. You cannot pull one over on him. He tolerates probably more than he should. He's forgotten what it is like to love & be loved. He is accustomed to being alone....but it doesn't mean that he likes it. It rips & tears him apart on the inside. It bugs him because he knows he's getting older, he has no lady, & no heir. Many are very curious of him, because he keeps to himself. They find themselves trying to impress him for his attention, which he so kindly & naturally gives them. Issa hates his halfbrother Kiwuli, he thinks he is evil, but Kiwuli is cuddly and nice. Issa notices that after Kiwuli saves him. Simba wanted to kill him, because Issa could be future king, and not Simba.
