Personality: As her name suggests, Sukari is sugary sweet and kind to everyone. She has a big heart and it shows, as she almost always has a smile on her face. She cares very deeply and strongly for others, and per her mother's teachings, she treats others with as much kindness and respect as she can. Sukari is always trying to see the good in people, however this leads to her supporting and trusting the wrong individuals. She's quick to trust others and may not see their horrible intentions until it is too late, and this can have a very negative affect on her emotions. Sukari is very emotional, and takes things very personally; she gets upset easily and is absolutely terrible when it comes to disagreements and arguments. Many also write her off due to being known as ditzy; she loves to daydream, and often gets lost in her own thoughts. But despite her sweet nature, Sukari is also known to be persistent and stubborn, a trait from her mother. Once she's decided on something important to her, she sticks to it and refuses to budge, even if it can lead to arguments. She follows her heart much more than her head, and while it's not the best choice sometimes, she always feels confident in her choices when she puts her whole heart and soul into it.

History:

Sukari and Huria were born not out of love, but politics; when Scar took over, he knew the lionesses were skeptical, and he needed a way to gain their trust. This came in the form of Sarabi, and Scar proposed that she become his mate and thus serve as his queen. Sarabi didn't love Scar, but was worried that if he were the only ruler, things might go south, and so she agreed. He pressured Sarabi to carry his cubs, and so, a few months after Simba and Mufasa were declared dead, she gave birth to Huria and Sukari. Though Sarabi loved them, despite the circumstances, Scar couldn't care less; cubs were never his forte, but he needed them to show the lionesses that even Sarabi accepted him as their king. He did, however, decide that once the cubs were older, he may beginning training them to ensure their loyalty.

Of the two, Sukari was the sweet one, the day dreamer, almost nothing like her mother and sister. She greatly looked up to her mother and sister, spending most of her days with Sarabi and the other lionesses, knowing she was safe from the hyenas surrounded by the others. As time went on, and Scar's greediness grew, Sarabi became worried of what the future held, for the kingdom and her daughters. She wasn't sure what to do, until she stumbled upon some of the teenagers of the pride planning to escape. She promised to help the teenagers as long as they took her daughters with them, and while Sukari and Huria didn't want to leave their mother, Sarabi promised that it wouldn't be for long. Trusting her mother, and knowing she wouldn't break her promise, Sukari agreed, and when the plan took action, she left with Kula, Tama, and Chumvi.

While escaping, a few hyenas on patrol managed to catch them in the act, and while Chumvi stayed to fight them, the two lionesses fled with the cubs. When they were safe, they waited for their friend, but no luck. When it seemed Chumvi wouldn't be following them, they left quickly, heading for the Eastlands to contact their neighbors. On their travels, Tama suggested going to Malka's Pride first to gain more allies. Kula disagreed, as the journey would be too tough for Sukari and Huria, and after bickering for some time, they decided to part ways, with Tama heading to Malka's Pride and Kula continuing to the Eastlands Pride with Sukari and Huria.

Their journey wasn't easy however; days of little food and water, with vultures and other predators eager to snatch up the cubs meant they were constantly moving. When it seemed all hope was lost, they had finally reached the jungle, and were met with Prince Amir and Imzabi from the Eastlands Pride. The pride took them in quickly, distraught to hear what had become of their neighbors, and while Kula sought help, King Bujune turned them down; the Eastlands Pride was too small to go against Scar and his army of hyenas. Tired and defeated, Kula, Huria, and Sukari had no choice but to stay in the Eastlands Pride, hoping one day to return home.

The news that they wouldn't be returning anytime soon left Sukari distraught; she had hoped to see her mother much sooner rather than later, but it seemed like she may never see Sarabi again. Though she was usually bubbly and friendly, she had lost her spark and lacked the hardiness of her sister to adjust easily to their new home. Noticing this, Imzabi took it upon himself to help Sukari adjust, showing her around their home and explaining their customs to help her fit in. Sukari was almost immediately smitten with the handsome male, but was happy to keep her crush secret and receive his help and friendship.

As time passed and Sukari grew, she began to fit into the Eastlands Pride, learning to hunt alongside the other lionesses in the dense undergrowth. She grew to love the jungle, and she especially loved spending time with Imzabi. Their friendship only seemed to grow stronger, and as they both aged and matured, it turned into romance. They brought up the thought of marrying and becoming mates, but held off when news from the Pridelands reached them; Scar had been defeated, and with Simba as king, the borders were open once more. Eager to see their old home, the Prideland lionesses traveled with Queen Hanina, Prince Amir, and Imzabi to reunite with their old friends and family.

Huria and Sukari were especially ecstatic to see their mother again, and for the first time, met their half-brother Simba. The group decided to stay in the Pridelands for a bit, helping out their weakened neighbors as the lands slowly began to replenish. Sukari was more than happy to reunite with her friends and family, but she knew in her heart that she belonged in the jungle with Imzabi. Seeing him interact with her mother only strengthened her feelings, and in private the two decided they would announce their commitment to her mother and sister first. While Sarabi was delighted to hear the news, Huria felt the opposite; she accused her sister of abandoning their home and their family, and was angry that Sukari was choosing Imzabi over them. The confrontation left Sukari heartbroken, but she had made her mind up to return to the Eastlands Pride.

When it finally came time to return to the jungle, Sukari said her goodbyes and promised to keep in contact with her mother and the others. Huria, after days of ignoring her, approached Sukari, and though things were still rather stiff, Huria did apologize. Sukari was happy her sister had realized the error of her ways, but Huria let it be known that she was still wary of their union. It wouldn't be the end of their disagreement, but she was happy it hadn't ended on such negative terms. And so, Sukari set off back to the Eastlands Pride, eager to start her new life with Imzabi.
