Personality:              Mamba is a laidback King of the pride on the other side of the Mountain. He is playful and will play when he assumes the lionesses are not looking, to maintain his "Kingly" manner. However none of his lionesses are fooled. He tries to treat his lionesses with the utter most care, even so He known for being slightly cold hearted as the same cubs he raised he is willing to chase from his pride, if they are males. Keeping only 3 sub males. Mamba is a fighter who uses trickery and smarts to win, and as yet to find a rouge male to gave him a challenge.

Mamba often gets in trouble with his lionesses because he has a very sour memory. He will forget things in short term. An over thinker, Mamba does not handle stress well. Mamba is hard on those male cubs he allows to stay in his pride, even his own son. he was taught only the strong survive and He raises all his male cubs with tough love, Just as he had been.

Likes:         Watching his top hunters go to work, he takes great pride in them. Playing with the cubs, but only when no one is watching. Big Cat naps, either on a nice smooth boulder or  under the shade of a nice Acacia Tree. Sharping his claws, his favorite surfaces are Baobab trees if he can find one, and mountain sides.

Dislikes:        Blood sucking Flies, they only come around after a hunt. Vultures & Buzzards, even if Mamba is done eating he doesn't like them arround. Disrepectful Cubs, he was raised to treat his elders well and exspects the same from his prides cubs. The Dry Season, it's hard to find food even for his most skilled hunters, which means they hunt more which makes his Lionesses tired, they also lose many cubs this season.

Affiliation To The Lion King:     Was born & rased in the Pridelands, Grew up with Sarafina, Was chased off by Mufasa, fought & took over the Pride on the other side of the Mountain. Returned to Pridelands breifly, Fathered Malka, found out he fathered Nala Via Malka visiting the Pridelands. Went to Meet Nala for hte first time. Fathered Mheetu. Took in Lionesses who ran away during Scars Brief Reign.

History:       Mamba was born in the Pridelands. A sub male Ahadi had allowed to stay in the pride had gotten one of his Lionesses pregant, Thus Mamba came to be. Mamba was raised to be respectful, and mindful of the young Princes Taka & Mufasa. In his cub years he would play and romp around with the brothers. Some even mistaking him for one of the Kings Cubs. This never really at well with Mufasa, Mamba was a very Princely cub. What if one day he should try and take over? But in those days Mufasa didn't think much on it after all they were only cubs.

Mamba became a Adolestent at 1 years old, Mufasa was being trained by Ahadi to take the place as future king. And Taka had been pushed to the side, known now as Scar. Mufasa had started to Push Mamba away. Mamba however found company with a rare blue eyed Lioness name Sarafina, who he was smitten with. Mamba and Sarafina to worried about messing up what was the perfect friendship, denied they're feelings for each other. in the winter months of his first year, Mufasa finally chased Mamba out of hte pride as many of the females were interested in him & Mufasa was protecting his harem, his younger half brother Ni as well as he father were also ran out of the pride. The only sub male Mufasa kept was his brother.

At two years old Mamba managed to defeat an elder lion who had not submales. the pride was just behind the moutains to the pridelands. Mamba wasn't excepted by the lionesses at first, to redeem himself he went in search of a lost cub that had been gone for weeks. He figured if he could bring this cub back that the others thought was dead, the lionesses would except him as King. He searched all the near by territories and it Lead him to the Pridelands. Upon returning He was confronted by a growling Lioness wo had been on a hunt. Soon he was surrouned by them the Lionesses growl faded and Mamba found he was pounced on. It was Sarafina, she had reconized him after so long. Sarfina promised to hide him from Mufasa and with the Help of Sarabi she would help him find hte missing cub. while in the pride lands Mamba unknowingly fathered Nala. Once the cub was found he left and returned to his pride.

Upon his return Mamba was dub a hero and was offically crowned King. Now his Lionesses were happy with him. Soon he had his first cub, Malka. Mamba was a proud father but was a bit hard on hi son, wanting him to grow up to be a good heir to the throne when his time has past. However Malka was a trouble maker and would often get himself lost. Mamba found out Malka was missing and set out with his mother to find him. Once again his road lead him to the pridelands, they did not stay long, but Malka had made friends with Mufasa's Heir Simba and ever since would travel back and forth without Mamba's approval.

Mamba found out through Malka that Nala was his daughter, when an esstatic Malka came bouncing back home saying that Sarafina had told him Nala was his sister. Mamba wanted to to and meet this Nala, his daughter, his first daughter & first born. Mamba traveled to the Pridelands and met with Sarafina in secret to meet his Daughter. During that stay He father Mheetu whom, sadly, he would never get the chance to meet. Mamba ran his Brother Ni out of his pride, as Ni was no longer a cub but a growing Adolesent who would pose a problem in the future. Malka was somewhat sad to see his uncle go and was afraid that one day his father might chase him too. But Mamba explained to him that he was a prince and would stay forever.

During the death of Mufasa, Mamba went into the Pridelands and Offered the Lionesses a safe place in his pride. Many stayed loyal to Queen Sarabi, but many others hungry and fearful for thier cubs went with him. Scar however was not to eager to let them go, Mamba was forced to fight, but not alone as his top Hunters went with him, the fight was quick and Mamba and his new lionesses returned home. Now Mamba focuses on raising his cubs and striving to make his pride thrive. awaiting the glorious day that Malka takes his place as king.
