Info: Kagiso has had a rough ride since cubhood. For one, when their parents were killed, Zira blamed Kagiso for their deaths because she had gotten too scared to move in time. She kept to herself for some time until an older cub by the name of Adanna started to hang out with her and play with her. She looked up to the older lioness and even helped her with some of the tasks. She met a rogue who was invited to stay in the Pride Lands by the name of Mosi. She and him began dating before finally becoming mates...though, it happened to be at the worst of times as Scar took over the Pride Lands. She still snuck off to meet iwht Mosi, having her first litter. Only one cub, Nuru, survived while the other three died. She was heartbroken for a long time. While Nuru was still growing, she had found out what Scar did to Lee (http://www.animationsource.org/lion_king/en/chars/Lee_KWD123/47745.html)and had traded herself to protect one of her closest friends. When the cubs were born, they were so weak that they would probably die if they didn't get the help they needed. So, with a heavy heart, Kagiso gave the three cubs to a neighboring pride to take care of and lied to the others in the Pride Lands that the litter all were stillborn. She, Mosi, and Nuru joined Doron's pride in the Outlands some time before the Outsiders were banished to the same area. While she was pregnant with Tariro, Mosi had been killed in a rockslide. Kagiso was devastated at the loss of her mate and love. She knew Zira had to have had a paw in it somehow since the area he had died in didn't have rockslides often. When Tariro was born, she kept her youngest daughter close. As the cub grew, it became apparent that Zira was up to something as she was always slinking around near the borderlines of their half of the Outlands, making Doron and Kagiso suspicious. They told the rest of the pride to keep an eye out for anything and to keep closer eyes on the cubs. After the Outsiders rejoined the Pride Lands, Kagiso retired from her position as advisor of Doron's pride and went to the Pride Lands to join Tariro and Tariro's mate Sipho. Months past and the two got caught in a stampede. Thinking quickly, Kagiso pushed Tariro into a safe spot...at the cost of her life. Tariro told Sipho, tears running down her face, "At least this way she can be with Dad and Nuru again..."
