Name: Taijiri (meaning hope, confidence)

Species: African/Snow Leopard hybrid

Parents: Makucha and Chuluun

Personality: Likes to pull pranks on others like his mother.  Due to his fur coloring being more like his father’s he is unable to blend into the snow like his mom but he doesn’t let that discourage him and uses it as a challenge to find creative new ways to sneak up on prey.  This is how he meets Ajabu; he mocks her at first for being a hybrid but eventually ends up finding himself with a small crush on her, creating a problem for her with a jealous Enzi. 

Bio: Having grown up without his father, Taijiri is lazy, and takes advantage of the way females ogle him to get them to do things for him, such as hunting him food.  All he has to do is promise them some one on one time later in return.  

To be turned down is not something Taijiri has ever heard of, until he sets his eyes on Ajabu.  Their first meeting is rough, with him mocking her for her mixed heritage and expecting to see her cry.  What he doesn't count on is for her to stand up to him, nor for her cheetah friend Enzi to tackle him.  Despite being older than the two, Taijiri struggles to hold his own against Enzi and is left licking his wounds as Ajabu and Enzi leave him behind.  In this moment a fire is lit, and he decides that he will not rest until he gets Ajabu to fall for him, because for one, no girl EVER turns him down, and also he wants to steal away what is precious to Enzi as revenge for humiliating him the way he just did. What he doesn't count on is the very real fact that he could actually end up falling for Ajabu along the way instead.
