History:

When Duka had adopted a cub named Sizwe, he and Abila became mates and it didn't take long before Abila discoverd that she was pregnant with his cub. When it was time to go into labor she left Pride Rock and went in a cave where she gave birth to twin cubs, male and female. Duka was very proud of his cubs when Abila took them back to Pride Rock to show them. However, the happiness of the fresh parents would soon be crushed as their son dissepeared shortly after birth. The whole pride searghed for the cub but didn't found him and gave up hope leaving Duka and Abila devastated and overprotective of their daughter, Tamika.

The young cub was kidnapped by a pridelioness who was jealous at Abila for having Duka's cubs and took the newborn cub when everyone was asleep and decided to raise it as her own. However the lioness was attacked by hyena's and died leaving the newborn to die aswell. The next day Imara, Queen of the Outlands and Zira's sister, found the cub and took him back to the Outlands. There she decided that because she didn't had any cubs herself she'd adopt him and make him the future heir to the Outland throne and named him Sipho as she saw him as a gift.

Growing up Sipho believed Imara was his real mother and that he had royal blood within him. When he was old enough his mother learned him everything he had to know to become a great king once she steps down. Sipho was mostly bored as the other cubs in the pride were much younger or older then him. So he'd always sneak away and go exploring which mostly got him into trouble. When he became a teen Sipho went to the Pridelands looking for some fun. However he ended up saving a lioness from a certain death when she was almost stamped to death by a herd of elephants by making a load roar. He befriended the lioness who's name was Tamika. What he didn't know was that his new friend is actually his sister. Not long after the two met he saw Tamika again, but this time in the Outlands with her parents and adopted brother. Her cousin Sethunya had taken the throne of the Pridelands and forced Tamika's family to leave. 

When he met Tamika's parents, Duka and Abila, Sipho discoverd that Tamika is his twinsister and that Imara adopted him. During that time Sipho bonded with his parents and adopted brother, Sizwe. After some time Imara passed the throne to Sipho who made Tamika head huntress of the hunting party.
