Name - Kupata | Koo/Pot/Taa.

Meaning - "To get" in Swahili.

Family - Vitani (Mother), Kopa (Father), Kutoa (Sister).

Age - Adult (Otherwise it depends on use).

History - Kupata is the cranky, always-hungry son of Vitani and Kopa. Unlike his sister, he is the younger sibling. When he was first born, Vitani immediantly wanted to call him "Nuka" after her deceased brother, but Kopa insisted it was "too cruel", and they settled on 'Kupata' instead.

As a young cub, his sister constantly watched over him as if she was a babysitter. This annoyed him greatly, as she watched over his every move. Kopa did nothing to stop this, and neither did Vitani - both thinking it was a good act. However, this made Kupata grow hateful towards Kutoa, and they hardly spent any time together while they were teens.

Once they were young adults, Kupata began his training to be a Lion Gaurd. Kion greatly admired how good of a hunter he was, and he was gladly accepted once he was at the right age. During this time, he began to develop feelings for a lioness he kept seeing near the borders of his patrols, and eventually they became mate, starting a secret family of their own outside the Pridelands.

However, he still understands that the Pridelands are his home, and he visits every day, and every night for work. His parents are very, very proud of him, and his sister watches on with glee.

Personality - Kupata is a very arrogant and selfish. However, he understands his duties as a Lion Gaurd must come first, and he often acts quite regal too. He has outstanding hunting skills, and the others think he's quite special because of this and the fact that lionesses are usually the better hunters. He's also quite food-savy, always hungry and/or craving something.
