Story: Chimalsi was the first born to Thabo and Ayana, born a few minutes before his twin siblings Chaka and Celeste. He was a very proud big brother, and loved playing with his siblings, and particularly play wrestling with his brother. They were a close family unit, and one day the trio met their cousins Zuberi, Dakarai and Keona, the cubs of princess Kiara and prince Zemar. Chimalsi was smitten with Keona from the start, and while Chaka focused on playing with Zuberi and Dakarai, he decided to rather try and get to know Keona better. It turned out that the two got along quite well, after talking for a while and spending some time together, and he liked her more and more each moment. One day, when Chaka and Celeste were out playing, they were attacked by hyenas. Chimal heard their cries for help, and rushed to their rescue. He ordered his siblings to run, being left to fight the hyenas alone despite being a lot smaller. The twins rushed back home to inform their parents, and Thabo went to off search for Chimalsi - only to find him unconcious and badly beaten. He lifted his son to his back, and brought him back to Pride rock where Rafiki treated him. Chimalsi made a full recovery, but unfortunately his face remained with several scars.  And for a few days, he was afraid of coming out of the den because he worried what the other cubs - and especially Keona - would think when they saw his face, but finally, after some encouragement from his parents, he stepped outside and started playing like a normal cub again.
