History: Thêtha was the first born cub of Maideyi, along with her twin sister Bianca, when he took over the Mzuka Pride. Unlike her twin, Thêtha didn't have the traditional look of the pride, looking like almost a complete double of her father.

Easily distinguished amongst the pale-pelted coats of the Mzuka Pride, Thêtha always felt out of place. Her mother never really had time for her, always too concerned over Bianca's fragile health and blindness to ever really focus her attentions on her for too long. Despite her love for her twin, it was difficult for Thêtha to not grow bitter over her treatment. Her father, on the other hand, was a lazy lout of a lion who only really left the den to mate with the many lionesses of the pride, resulting in a multitude of half-siblings.

When she reached her young adult years, Thêtha was truly ed up with life in the Mzuka Pride. She snuck away from her family in the middle of the night and headed north, crossing over the river known as the Veil of Tears and into the dreaded land to the north: The Shadowlands. She never stayed long enough to see the Mzuka Pride taken over by Chumvi and Tojo.

After a few days of wandering in the mostly barren land, she scented another pride. Wary, because she knew that other prides would kill a rogue female just as easily as a male, she tried to steer clear of the area. However, she couldn't avoid them forever, prey was scarce and she ended up running into a group of females whilst out hunting. But instead of killing her on sight, they instead escorted her to their own den to meet their king, a huge dark grey lion known as Athari.
