Parents: Kweli and Janna

Siblings: Kadiri

Mate: Cersei

Cubs: Gero, Mwanga and Udo

Pride of Origin: Nyasi Pride

Personality:Olushola is, above all else, a ladies man. He loves nothing more that to flirt with lionesses and have his wicked way with them if he could. He is also very arrogant, being born in such a high posistion within the Nyasi Pride and being a formidible warrior to boot. What he wants, he is used to getting. He can have a particularly foul temper and is prone to lashing out at whoever pushes his buttons. He is smart, even if he doesn't seem all that interested in actually using his brains.

History: Olushola was born to a leader of one of the Nyasi Pride's vassal prides. His father, like many other pride leaders who ruled under Makwetu, served as an advisor of sorts and General to the King and since Olushola was his eldest son, he was expected to follow his father's example.

However, Olushola had other ideas. All he wanted was to be a warrior and lead his pride to victory, bring honor to the Nyasi Pride and win favour from the King because he had his eyes set on a lovely prize. Makwetu's daughter, Princess Kifaa. He often admired her from afar and wanted nothing more than to tame her rebellious spirit for himself. (He never knew that Makwetu already had her betrothed to another General's son.)

However, all hopes were dashed when the unexpected happened, the Zurura Pride made their return.

All the Generals scrambled immediately and the Conclave was called in a state of emergency. King Makwetu did not want any more trouble with the Zurura Pride and open war, whilst the odds were definitely in their favour, would be far too costly. So, peaceful negoiations were sought. Part of this peaceful pact included the return of the Zurura Pride's previous territory as long as they swore feilty to the Nyasi Pride. And to cement this, Sokoro's daughter would have to marry the son of one of the Generals (to ensure that the Zurura Pride wouldn't get any ideas) and Olushola was picked.

Olushola hated Cersei, she was everything he detested in a lioness (mostly because she wasn't Kifaa) but he did his duty nonetheless. He hoped that maybe she would get fed up and leave but he had to suffer her presence in the time between. He ended up with three cubs by her: Gero (his eldest son), Mwanga (his only daughter) and Udo (his youngest son).
