Bio:

Seswa is born to a travelling rogue and an exiled pridesister. The rogue wants done with her as soon as she opens her eyes, which causes tensions between her parents. Eventually, the rogue is killed and Seswa's mother flees with the young cub.

When she is an adolescent, Seswa's mother contracts an illness which leaves her too weak to do anything. Seswa tries to provide for her, but the older lioness refuses her help and bids her leave, without looking back. Reluctantly, Seswa does as her mother says, and finds herself in the company of Ni's Pride.

Ni befriends her, despite their age gap, and he nurses her back to health, catering for her and allowing her to open up. When she is a little older, old enough to bear cubs, she gives birth to Ni's son, Gakwa. The two new parents dote upon their child and coddle him, not to the point of spoiling him.

When he is old enough to rule, Ni and Seswa abdicate, but still become advisors for their son. In their old age, they adopt a young cub, Asha. Seswa herself lives long enough to see her grow to be an adolescent, then she passes on.
