Quick Description: Sauda is quite a lovely lioness, powerful, muscular, a huntress that is truly in her prime.
Full Description: Truly Sauda is a beautiful lioness, with a fur coat that happens to be darker than most of the lionesses within the pride. It is a darker brown and seems to be a bit longer than what is considered normal as well. She has a muscular build which she gets from her mother and grandmother, so she is rather built for one her age. With each passing day she gets more in shape from the hunts she attempts, and it will someday pay off. Along her chest, around her eyes, her inner ears, muzzle, and stomach are a pretty dark cream tone that accents her dark color. Sauda has stunning blue eyes, that twinkle most of the time with mirth, but sometimes they can be quite serious. On her left eye is a single scar that looks a lot like the one Taka had, and Kovu has. Her claws are also strange for they are a silver tint instead of black. Her left front paw has black splotches along the toes that also add to her odd appearance.

Personality: Sauda compared to most lions her age, is rather quiet and subdued. She is one of those types that enjoys spending time watching the stars, or listening to the elders speak of earlier years. Most of the time she is either by herself or with a few select friends whose company she actually enjoys. However with her being so quiet some of the pride find her to be strange and odd.. so it tends to be hard to make new friends. Sauda is constantly working on her hunting skills, and will not give up until she meets her own high standard. She wants to make her deceased mother proud, and so she forces herself to go every time the pride hunts. Her driven nature sometimes scares off the younger lionesses that tend to be much more 'bubbly' or 'happy go lucky.' Secretly, she wants to find herself a mate, and have a family of her own to take care of. If you ask her outright she'll say romance is for sissies but in her own heart she wants a male to make her swoon and feel giddy. Sauda tries very hard to impress young male lions and sometimes come's on to strong which makes the situation real awkward. Over all she is very good feline to have in your pride.
Goals: Sauda wants to become a excellent huntress one day. She also desires a mate and cubs.

History: Sauda was born a little bit after Kiara was born. She was raised in the Pridelands along with the other young cubs. Her mother was a older lioness by the name of Sakeena. The older female taught her daughter all about the Kings, Spirits, and of course The Circle of Life. From early on Sauda believed in the higher beings and so had a lot of faith in them. When she became a teenager her mother died in a hunt, her old age catching up with her and stealing her life. From that moment on she was alone, she had to raise herself now. Each day she rose with the sun and went for lessons from the other hunters in the pride. She would not become a no body in the pride nor would she give up on herself because of her mother's passing. Sauda fought in the battle at pride rock between the pride landers and outsiders.. and in that moment she learned hatred. It passed thankfully and her life has been peaceful ever since that time.

RP Sample: Standing in the thick shadow, the lioness scanned the darkness slowly, watching for any movement that would tell her that someone approached. The termite mound was a disgusting place, a place of nightmares and spirits, at least those that haunted the mind. She had no clue as to whether the place was infested with spirit but it seemed possible. Every once in a while she would glance down at her son, making sure he was doing alright. Honestly, she did not want to bring him here to this creepy place.. Ken deserved to remained innocent for as long as possible. Logic told her to bring him, if he woke up and she was gone, he'd panic and could end up hurting himself. He had a very strong bond to his mother, she was the center of his universe and thus she would do what she could to make him feel safe. Looking at the precious cub she felt her heart melt, she loved him dearly, and would do whatever to protect him. Hearing someone approaching quickly, she raised her head and felt her hackles bristle, the defensive posture dropped when she saw it was Zira.

Sauda looked the older lioness over silently, taking in her appearance in a way making sure she was still physically healthy. She had a cub to raise whether or not Nuka was a weak cub or not. He could grow out of that weakness if given the proper care, so in her mind he was far from a lost cause. The dark toned lioness watched her teacher silently for a moment as the other female spoke. As she mentioned her son, a genuine smile crossed her face.

"I did not want him waking up alone at pride rock, he might end up telling someone that I was missing. Thus the pride would start searching and would find me here.. we don't need them knowing about this place."

She frowned at the thought. The pride itself was already on edge, the various groups of lions clashing and arguing while the new baby king did nothing to bring them together. He was foolish.--- as was his queen. They had no clue on how to properly rule a pride and would end up causing more harm than good. Earlier that day she had seen Tama and Heart tearing into each other, it was only a matter of time before it became worse.

"I've come here to check on you, the pride itself may ignore your pain and grief I as your friend and pupil do not. How are you faring Zira, and how is little Nuka doing?"

Sauda questioned her genuinely concerned, some may think she was crazy calling Zira her friend. But she was.. and she cared about her grief. The tawny lioness did not deserve to go through the death of a loved one all alone. Sarabi hadn't, the entire pride rallied around her when Mufasa was killed.. they should be doing the same for any of their members. A slight snarl crossed her face as she thought of the unfairness of it. How annoying.
