Description:

Hashiki is a lithe, gorgeous russet-furred lioness. She is thin, and her appearance is mostly that of an Outsider's. Skinny and lean. She favors her father in coloration and build, almost like a female version of Kovu. Her tail is large and fluffy, and she has large ears, giving her excellent hearing.

Her stomach, flowing all the way up to her neck to meet her muzzle, are a lighter creamy brown. Her toes, tail tuft, and inner ears are a dark chocolatey brown, blending well in a similar palette of hues.

Her eye shading is two-toned; the upper being a dark deep brown and the lower being a very light cream. Her eyes are a vibrant, sparkling light green, like her father's.

Personality:

Hashiki is quite the sassy lioness. She is cunning and hard to trick or deceive, very much like her grandmother Zira. Her wiles are much use to her, she puts them to use even in hunting. She has a way with words, a smooth tongue and a slippery attitude to match.

She is also slightly aggressive, though will usually have a good reason of jumping into a fight. She is brave, though not foolishly so. Hashiki will always consider the outcome before she gets herself into any dangerous situation. She is prepared for nearly everything.

Despite those qualities, she is actually quite sweet and gentle deep down. She seems to keep a shell around herself, with a harsher outside and a kind inside. Hashiki is very loving to those she is close to, but hard to form bonds with.

She can be a bit of a loner, and often had trouble fitting in as a cub. Her friends would try to play with her, but she couldn't seem to react well in reply. She was used to being alone, and grew up distant. Even with that, she is a loyal pride member and a strong future Queen.
