Tao

Gender: Female
Age: Cub
Species: African lion
Pride: Outlanders
Rank: Princess

Appearance: Her pelt is a soft peach color, with under markings that are a few shades away from being pure white. She inherited her mother's bright blue eyes, which match the color of the African sky on a clear day. Her nose is pink, and she has a chocolate colored triangle-shaped marking above it. The tuft of her tail is the same brown hue as her marking. She has a messy tuft of bands above her brow.

Personality: Thoughtful and intelligent, Tao ponders all of the little things in life. She's endlessly curious about everything around her. The Outlands are not the most welcoming environment for a young cub, but Tao is tough, though never violent. She can tolerate the heat and the termites, but dreams of living in the Pridelands one day, if Scar ever goes away. She is bright, observant, and gentle and empathetic towards others.

Tao is polite to her elders, normally quiet, but full of youthful energy. She loves to play with her brothers and her father, who she is especially close to. She has enormous respect for her father Kiume and strives to make him proud. Though she never intends to get into trouble, her curious nature often leads her to the brink of disobedience. She tries to keep herself well-groomed and presentable, which is often a challenge, given the dusty and dirty conditions of her homelands.

Family: Kiume (father), Ilani (mother), Kavu and Kudumu (brothers)
History: Tao's parents met when they were both young. Kiume was still a teen, born and raised in the Pridelands but banished to the Outlands by Scar. Ilani was an adopted Desertlander who had barely reached maturity. She had come to the Outlands, where she met Kiume, and the two became instant friends.

Fate decided the two would grow apart though, and Lani left for the desert as Kiume aged. But Lani later returned to the Outlands to find her old friend had become king of the dry territory that bordered the Pridelands. Though she was shocked by the news, seeing him again quickly reminded her of her growing feelings for him, and the two soon fell in love. The two young lions soon decided to start a family, so that Kiume would have an heir. Little did they know, life would not turn out according to their plans, and the birth would be accompanied with a twist...
