Bio:

Kipepeo, or Kip as his sister likes to call him, is the last of Tai and Leganata's cubs. Ondoka often beats him when they are young, and it is for that reason Kip prefers playing with his Fira. She is kind to him and stands up to him if any of the older cubs want to laugh at him.

When he is a teen, he finds himself drawn to one of the lions in Ondoka' s gang. He beats himself up about it; it's wrong for a male to love another male, at least in the eyes of the pride. And what would Fira think of him? And Ondoka?

He goes to Ondoka requesting to see the lion of his desires, and tells Ondoka of his intentions. Ondoka laughs and sends him away, as was expected. He goes to Fira, who consoles him and is kind to him about it. He is no different just because of the lion he loves.

He reaches adulthood in solitude, forever a lonely member of the pride. He hopes to find a lion who has similar desires to his own, and is willing to search the far ends of the world to find that lion.

Relation to TLK: Ni's great-nephew, and is a part of his pride.
