History: Lela was the first born in her family. Her father, Enzi, was the leader of a Gang of Thieves, so she was born into it. While her father had hoped for a boy just like him, Lela instantly melted his heart. Enzi may have been in a Gang of Thieves but that did not mean he was cruel. He loved Lela very much. Lela showed a lot of potential at a young age, which impressed her father. 

As a cub, Lela was a bit girly. She didn't like getting dirt and preferred to find a way around everything. She was spoiled because of her mother so she often tricked others into doing things for her. Lela was taught leadership skills at an early age. Lela loved learning from her father and the two were very close. Then, came the news of Lela's soon-to-be younger sibling. The cub was another girl, and her father named the cub Lyra. Lela was very excited to be an older siblings and have someone to play with everyday. When Lyra was able to eat solid foods, their mother suddenly grew very ill. Their mother died, but Lela and Lyra were taught from their father that everything happened for a reason. Lela understood and let time heal the place left by her mother's sudden death.

Lela always looked after Lyra. They were best friends, even though the two cubs were very different. Lyra was more of a tomboy who tackled problems using physical fights while Lela preferred to use her quick wits to solve problems. Enzi did not remarry and was happy with his two healthy, strong daughters.

Lela soon grew into a beautiful teenager. She was already helping lead the Gang of Thieves. She was a skilled thief and her father was very proud. One day, Lela was out with her sister, Lyra, when the two spotted a strange lioness wandering around. Lyra wanted to confront the stranger but Lela knew that wasn't a good idea. she didn't even believe the lioness knew where she was going. Still, Lyra didn't listen and chased after the lioness. The lioness wanted no harm. She explained her name was Sanura and she had simply run away from home. Unsure what to do, Lela took Sanura to her father. Enzi was confused about Sanura so he took her away and had a long talk with her. Enzi learned all about Sanura's past and decided to give her a chance to start a new life as a thief. Enzi returned to his daughters, and told them to train Sanura to be a thief. Lela was shocked but trusted her father.

The three trained everyday and Lela was shocked as to how smart and quick Sanura was. The more time they spent together, the closer the became. Before they knew it, Lela, Lyra, and Sanura were close friends and always hung out together. 

A month later, the Gang of Thieves decided to steal from Sanura's old home. It was Enzi's decision and Lela followed the orders. Lela was now a young adult and felt as if she knew everything.  The raid started off as usual. Lela was very busy and everything was going as planned, or so she thought. Lela was unaware that Sanura was being confronted by her brother, the King, and Enzi was looking all around the strange lands, looking for anything exciting. Enzi was traveling by the rocky cliffs when he slipped and fell. It was a horrible accident but he was alive. The thieves were unaware and left, satisfied, except for Sanura. Sanura's family explained to her that her name was cleared from her friend's death. Her family wanted her back and she had proven her loyalty to them. Sanura was back at home, happy. Enzi was soon found, but there was a problem with him. Enzi could barely move his back legs at the time. He stepped down as leader and Lela became the new leader of the thieves. Over some time, Enzi could walk again but not as well as before. Lela was the leader but the gang was falling a part. The ones who were in the gang knew Enzi from years back but now the idea of the gang seemed useless. Enzi, once again, explained that everything happened for a reason. The gang of thieves ended. Sanura had room in her pride for Enzi, Lela, and Lyra. They all settled down there, living happy in a much more peaceful life.

When a friend of Lela's returned, he requested to do one last job with Lela. It seemed simple. Lela had to earn the trust of Asante and then capture him. They'd sell him for ransom, like the old days, Lela agreed and their plan was put into action. Lela was doing a great job, like always, but this time was different. Lela earned Asante's trust but Asante also gained Lela's trust. She had so much fun with him and, for the first time, Lela felt nervous around him. She wanted him to like her. Lela had a crush on Asante. Asante fell in love with Lela but Kiara, Asante's mother, disapproved. Finally, Lela confessed that it was just a job. Upset, Asante stormed off. Lela's heart was broken. she returned to her friend and told him off. She refused to go through with this plan. Lela's friend decided to continue the job without her. He went after Asante, and Kiara tried to stop him. Kiara was killed and Asante was attacked. Lela heard something was going on and rushed to see. Asante and Lela's "friend" were fighting. Lela had to help. Lela's "friend" was killed but Asante was badly hurt. Lela got help and saved Asante's help. She felt incredibly guilty, however, and ran off. When Asante was feeling better, he came after her. He forgave her completely. The two were in love. 

Lela decided to live with Asante and the two had three beautiful cubs together.
