the personality

Personality • Kendi is a good-hearted lion with no desire for power, although he does enjoy pride life - hence why he has been able to find a home within the pridelands. He's well organized, friendly, and typically a great guy to be around. He is patient with cubs, and in many ways a good teacher although he admits to being abysmal at hunting. He can be a complete flirt - male, female, or anything in between might take his fancy and he's not afraid to show it. Will he ever settle down? He's certainly open to the idea, although noone has come close to claiming his heart.

Likes • Rainy Days | Cubs | Flirting
Dislikes • Hyenas | Disorder | Insubordination

History • Born many miles away, in a pride where the in-fighting for the throne was constant, Kendi's life was far from peaceful when he was young. He watched as the pride tore itself apart and, eventually, his mother slipped him away and into the wilds. But life as a rogue is not ideal for a young family - his mother spent more time hunting and less time with her son until one day, when he was a teenager, she never returned. Suddenly, he had to provide for himself and he spent a lot of time hungry, scavenging for food. Even when he was lucky enough to find a meal he often only got a little before hyenas chased him away.
When he first set eyes upon the pridelands it was a dreadful place, one he had no intentions of lingering in. The lands were dead for miles around, dry as if the spirits themselves had cursed the place. But only a few months later, when he passed again, they had rejuvenated. Intrigued by this sudden change he approached, eventually gaining a place within the pride. For now, he is just a member, but he hopes to prove himself and step up to warrior at some stage.

roleplay Sample

He raced through the shadows, his heart pounding in his chest as he fled - leaving everything he had ever known behind. His parents, his mate... But he had no choice now, what he had done meant that he only had one chance of staying alive - he had to get away. His ears pressed against his skull as he made his way through familiar territory - the den site where he had spent his early days, the river where he and Mika had learnt to swim, the clearing where he'd declared his love to her... Tears ran from amber eyes, but he had no time to cherish these memories now. Behind him he could hear them. The warriors were coming and if they caught him he'd be dragged back to the alphas and executed.
He cursed as he reached the pack boundary. From here, his journey would be based only on rumors and guess work. But there was another pack somewhere close by. If he could reach them, maybe he could find sanctuary. Even if it was only for a night, so that he could rest before moving on his way, it would be a blessing. The alpha's howl tried to lure him back, and he might have answered if he'd believed they would listen - if he'd had even a chance, he'd have turned back...
Stop it, they knew they'd make you question yourself. he scolded himself. Their call was powerful, their power over him stronger than he'd anticipated. I have to get out of here. Before I can't resist them any more. If only it would be that easy. For their she was, his own mate begging him to return. He found himself stopping, panting heavily as he fought with himself. A whimper ripped from his throat, and then he forced himself to turn away. Even she couldn't bring him back now. She couldn't change what he'd done. The image flashed before his eyes, the beta dead on the floor, surrounded by blood. He'd not even realised what he was doing, at that time. He'd never meant to kill him, really...
