RAIVU

Nicknames: Rai, Riri
Gender: Male
Age: 6 months (cub)
Species: Lion
Homeland: Highlands
Rank: cub

Quick Description: Scrawny, light tan, tuft of hair on forehead. Brown tail tuft, brown mane when adult.
Full Description: Raivu is still a young cub of about six months, and his mane has not grown in yet, of course. He is rather scrawny and small compared to other cubs his age, causing him to get beat up sometimes when he plays with them, so sometimes he might look a bit battered and bruised, though he says he's just fine. He has a long curvy tail with a dark brown tuft on the end, which will be the same colour as his mane when it grows in eventually. He has a soft pink nose and big paws, which have cream coloured toes and fleshy pink paw pads. His underbelly and the fur around his muzzle are also cream coloured. The eyelids/fur around his eyes are dark brown, his big eyes are bright green. His muzzle is soft and small, not being very angular or long. His ears are slightly larger than most lions' ears, his ears have darker fur on the inside.

Personality: Raivu, like any other cub, always has something on his mind. He is very curious about the world and likes to explore anything he can get his nose into, no matter what the consequences might be. Usually he is quite a pest to most other lions that are an age older than him, though they try their best to do what they can to satisfy this little bugger, and in the process, gain some free time away from him. Raivu talks. All the time. It's his favorite thing to do and he will talk, talk, talk, anytime, anywhere, unless he's in immediate danger and his life is at risk. He will talk just to talk, he might not even have anything good to say, he will just blurt out whatever is on his mind and he will even make up tall tales and stories. It can be very annoying, but it can also be very entertaining to listen to him ramble on. His grammar is also all over the place; sometimes he'll pronounce something way different and just add little details to his words, and when he talks fast his words might get jumbled up. He also loves to play, as any other cub should. He will attempt to play with any lion of any age as long as they seem interesting and playful enough themselves. Sometimes, since he is so small, other cubs will accidentally beat him up, but he always keeps a cheerful mood and says he is just fine and can't feel a thing. Raivu is definitely a great kid to keep around if you're lonely. He also loves his mother, very much, and tries to spend a lot of time with her.

(later I'm going to go around on the boards and see if I can find any highland characters interested in being his mother)
Goals: Raivu's goal at the moment is to make as many friends as he can, and explore other pride lands, though his elders aren't to keen on that idea.

History: Raivu's beloved mother is the brown and red Highlands lioness, Jiraa. This young cub adores and loves his mother very much, and is almost always around her, when he isn't running around and having any of his 'adventures', of course. Raivu's supposed father is Maliki, the high king of the Highlands. Jiraa is Maliki's lover I believe, and she is the mother of his cub and probable heir. This is a lie, however, Raivu is not Maliki's son at all.

Jiraa had the cub of an unknown vagrant that she fell in love with momentarily, and so she had Raivu. To protect him from Maliki's wrath, she had told Maliki that it was his son indeed. Maliki was a bit suspicious of Raivu's golden colouring, as he had darker pelted parents, but eventually he decided that it could be possible that the trait was inherited from lions of many generations before, so his guard is now lowered and he now has little suspicion of Raivu not being his son.
Raivu is still being considered in the chance of being an heir, and it isn't too doubtful that Maliki may someday make him the heir, since Raivu may be the son closest to him.

As for Raivu's brief history, he has only done a few things that could be considered.. noble or worthwhile. Actually not that many at all. Raivu has gone exploring of course, but he has yet to set foot outside of his pride lands.

The young, light coloured cub sat on the shore of the water hole, his face right up to the water, his nose nearly touching the surface of it. The water was clear and blue, Raivu could see his reflection clearly, and the sandy floor if he adjusted his eyes. It would appear that he was hunched over the water, staring into it with a determined look on his face, seeming to wait on some one or something to show up.

Suddenly another cub appeared out of the bushes, she was about the same colour as Raivu, but just a smidge darker. She mockingly batted her eyes at him and said smoothly, "What are you up to, Raivuuu," her tail swayed back and forth.

Raivu sat up quickly and his bottom plopped onto the ground with a thud, his ears shot up and his eyes widened as she had startled him. "O-Oh, I was just uhh.." he trailed off shyly, but then he said, "I was waiting for that scaredy crocodiley to come beck and apologize!" adding a realistic tone of bravery and braggery to his voice.

The girl cub raised her eyebrow suspiciously and sat down a few feet in front of him, curling her tail around her paws. "Oh.. Uhhm.. I don't really understand, hahah, could you maybe.. expl--"

"Oh yes, of course!" Raivu interrupted before she could even finish her sentence, "Well frest, it was jest a few dees-days ago! I wacked up to the watering hole and I bunt down to take a seep and all the sudden.. A HUGE CORCODILEY THINGY APPEARS! And I was so scared scarred for a bet-bit and a second, and he snipped his big ol' jawsies at me and growled, and I got so mad and I YELLED AT HIM, and was like, 'git out of my waaay you big nesty crockodiley,' cause I was all mad cause he was in my way whern I was tryin' to take a drink," he paused for a second to take a deep breath before he continued, "SO I scritched him reaaal good on his snourtff, and he started CRYING, he was such a scarredy kritty and he called out for his MOMMA and he was such a bigy baby!" Raivu fell backwards laughing until he finally caught his breath again and sat up to face the other cub and smile.

She looked around for a second and awkwardly said, "Uhh.. That's a great story Rai, but uhm. Crocodiles don't live in this watering hole.. unless your talking about a different one..?"

"WELL THEY DUNT LIVE HERE ANY MORE," Raivu started laughing and the other cub joined him out of good humor, and shook her head.
