Name: Zola
Gender: Female
Age: 3
Species: Lion
Pride: Pridelands
Rank: Adult
Appearance: Zola has a soft hued silky brown coat with sandy colored paws and underbelly, all of which she does her best to keep neat and clean. She has always been small due to her premature birth and now in her adulthood there is no exception, she is both shorter and thinner than one would expect her to be, but these are the only signs of her troubled entrance into this world for her amber eyes shine with life and intelligence.
Personality: Zola was a hyper-active cub always bouncing with excitement wherever she went whatever she did. Her father Emeka however, could not keep up with her and taught her quiet games and taught her riddles which caused her to calm down as she paused to take the time to search for the answers giving way to the quiet thoughtful lioness she is today. When Zola hunts she takes a very long time to plan out every possible move she, her sisters and the prey will make before acting.
Family:
Father: Emeka
Mother: Desta (deceased)
Brothers: Faraji (location unknown) Four more all died as cubs.
Sisters: Five all died as cubs.
History: Zola was born preterm to two very loving yet low ranking parents. She was of their last litter, a litter of two, the only female and the only one of the litter to survive. Her mother died when she was seven months old and the only thing she can remember about her is the warmth and safety she felt wrapped in her paws, lulled to sleep by her purr.
As she grew she became a hellion and a nightmare for her father to keep up with, as she leaped from stones, chased lizards and climbed trees. In an effort to control her ruckus nature the stiff old lion would carry her back to their den and set her down and tell her stories and offer her riddles to solve.
This quieted her down a bit, but what really worked was the day he brought home a severely gnarled root and asked her to find the beginning and the end. It took the cub months to locate even one ragged break in the wood, and months yet to find the other.
The true puzzle however came when her father asked her to follow one end to the other, still to this day on quiet evenings she pulls the old root from hiding and spends hours of deep thought trying to solve the puzzle which has become her secret quest.
Zola would live with her father if not for the fear of his safety so not wanting Scar to feel crossed by them or that they are plotting against him she lives with the rest of the pride doing her best to stay out of his line of sight.
