Bio:

Raziya and Casper had been two unlikely lovers since day one. After issues with Choyo, Raziya's old mate, and Simba, the King of the Pridelands, the two decided to call it quits and leave the bustle of Pride life. Once they settled, Raziya gave birth to Casper's only daughter, little Njozi. Raziya doted on her new daughter, but Casper, who was having difficulty coming to terms with the new title 'father', and had plans of his own, often ignored Njozi, leaving her mother on the brink of near fury.

When Njozi was but an infant, Raziya took her daughter away from her father. The young cub was baffled and distraught, but as she grew, she overcame the loss and began to accept Raziya as her only parent. The ageing lioness taught her to hate and to be cunning and conniving, and also to be wary of males and to be careful of who she picked as mate. The knowledge came easy enough, but soon, Njozi began to crave a happy family life, with a mother and a father, which she doubts she will ever have.

During adolescence, Raziya stumbles upon Casper, alone and searching for his beloved. The two reunite and Njozi finally meets her father for the first time in seemingly ages. She is unsure of what to think of him; her heart tells her to love him and welcome him with open arms, while her head says to hate him for what he put her mother through. Staying neutral, she accepts that her mother is back with Casper, and becomes an active part of her father's life, but she does so with caution. Eventually, she warms up to him, but still does not become as close as she would like.

A little older, she goes off on her own during her First Hunt Ceremony. She meets a rogue, Choyo, who is kind to her, noticing the resemblance between her and Raziya. He was, in fact, Raziya's former mate, and wants to break her life apart as much as he can. Njozi stays with the rogue for a few days, and hears his side of the story. He left her out of fear of becoming a father, and when he returned to be with Raziya, the lioness turned him down and went with Casper, who 'nearly killed him'. Beginning to doubt her family, Njozi returns. She becomes a confused and conflicted individual, but when her parents ask her about her sudden change, she refuses to tell them the truth.

She runs away later, and vows never to return. She is, of course, unaware that her mother has gone to look for her, and fails drastically in her attempts. And of course, she is unaware that her father is alone again, and will likely be until the end of his life.
