History:

Once the Prides were bonded for life, the Outlanders settled in well with the Pridelanders. It all seemed too good to be true. Or at least that's what Aliya felt. Being one of Zira's closest supporters and henchmen, she felt extremely guilty for betraying her leader like that, but the conflict had to stop.

For a while, life was good. But then, a question came. What about cubs?

Many of the Outlanders and Pridelanders had already left to look for rogues to father their cubs. Aliya felt the same way, especially after hearing about Queen Kiara's new cub. So, she went out to look for a male herself, and she found him almost instantly. 

He agreed when she told him the real reason she left her pride. He told her that he had been wanting a daughter for a while now. He also requested that if she had a daughter, she would be named Shani.Aliya nervously agreed before submitting to him. 

Soon, a cub was born, and it was a girl, just like that lion wanted. But Aliya couldn't bring herself to name her Shani like he asked her to. Instead she named the cub Bianca, and hoped that he wouldn't come back to try and see his cub.

Bianca grew up happy and carefree, playing with all the other cubs. It was then that Aliya was approached by Queen Kiara, requesting to betroth her son to Bianca. Bianca had no idea what "betrothed" meant, but went along with the arrangement.

As the years passed, Bianca finally got a chance to meet her "betrothed" face to face. Of course, now she knew what it meant, but didn't think it was much to worry about. Her betrothed, Hasani, had been star-struck when he met her, and she thought he was nice for a lion, kind of goofy, but she liked it. She and Hasani started spending a lot of time together, and she grew to like him more and more. 

But the real blow struck when, while waiting for Hasani at the watering hole, she met a lion who seemed familiar somehow. He was staring at her like she was on fire, or something. He then asked her who she was, and with introductions made, she found out that this lion's name was Neo, and he was her father!
