Alika was born with her twin sister Maliha. She loved Maliha very much, but Alika felt she overpowered her a lot. She was fed up with being in her sister’s shadow with her parents, but she loved the company of Bahati, who almost became like a second mother to her. She also liked playing with Radhi and Tafari, but she found them boring since they became true mates. Instead she liked playing with Kensai.

Alika and Maliha were following a plan to make Kensai happier. Maliha wanted to get him together with Kori, who also looked unhappy in the Pride. It was working, but Alika felt it was down to Maliha rather than her.

However, the arrival of Mara and Kani almost ruined the plan. Alika noticed how Kori became less lonely, now her sister arrived, so was less likely to spend time with Kensai. However, she didn’t put much thought to it because she’d found a new friend.

Alika also joined Moto for some hunting lessons. She wasn’t very good at it, but she knew it was important for the future.
