Bio:

Sheria is the second daughter of Tunda and Sisi, but often acts like the elder. She will play with Malaika, but in no way does she enjoy it. She prefers a calm chat with her mother, or a walk through the plains with her father.

When she is older, she hears that her family is going to live with Ni, her and Malaika's uncle. She is excited; she's never gone fare beyond her home before, so this will be a great experience.

But she is torn when her father is killed right before her eyes.

Her family makes it to Ni's Pride, but not before Tunda is killed by a rogue named Tamaa. Sheria is inconsolable, and even though Malaika moves on in due time, she can't bring herself to forget.

When she is a young adult, she meets a young lion named Gereza. He is a rogue, and has come to Ni's Pride to seek shelter. She befriends him and he asks to be mates with her. It is then that she can finally bring herself to move on and embrace life.

She gives birth to a whole litter of cubs, but only one, the single female, survives. She is named Aminifu, and Sheria and Gereza refuse to show anyone until her eyes are open.

Then Malaika dies in birthing with her daughter, Nyonda.

Sheria can do nothing but scream as she cradles her sister's body. Out of instinct, she takes the newborn Nyonda and suckles her with Aminifu as though she is her own cub. Malaika's mate, Ndege, has not the heart to refuse, and only asks that she cares for her until she is weaned. Sheria agrees, and takes care of Nyonda as a foster daughter.

When Aminifu is a young adult, she passes on, Gereza joining her a few days later.
