quick description - A hormonal adolescent lion with the signature golden pelt and electric blue eyes of the Vinelands royal lineage

full description - Kijana's build is not necessarily eye catching or impressive, being a well balanced mix between muscular and lean. His pelt, though, is something else. The golden color and the lighter gold on the underside, the gold of his mane, along with the electric blue eyes, are what gets him noticed. They are certainly a testament to his fine lineage. When he walks, it is clear that he has pride in his lineage, maybe teetering on the edge of slight arrogance. It is also apparent that he is rather mischievous by the look in his eyes. As a result, Kijana has the tendency to shirk his royal duties and disappear on some type of adventure. Along with this mischievousness comes a flirtatious attitude towards the ladies. Despite being so young, he's quite the smooth talker, knowing just what to say and when to say it.

His large paws are tipped in the same light tan color that is found on his underside, and are rather large. Despite their size, he is not at all klutzy, but rather graceful with them, if you will. They also help him when it comes to speed. The fur around his mouth is also the same tan color, where as the inside of his ears are a darker, dusty brown, as is the tuft of fur on the end of his tail. The electric blue of his eyes is captivating, and it almost seems as if they can look into the soul and read the mind.

personality - Kijana's personality is slightly childish. He is mischievous, often slipping away unnoticed from the Vinelands to go out wandering the territories, disregarding the fact that he shouldn't even set foot in the other territories, especially the Outlands. As a result, his princely duties are often thrown carelessly aside and forgotten about, which tends to get him in trouble with his parents. When it comes to females, he is flirtatious, loving the thrill it provides him. One could say he's almost like a 'player' of sorts.

When he's not out exploring, Kijana can be found lounging around in the sun, being rather lazy. He would honestly rather just bask in the warm sun all day than do the things that are expected of him, which is exactly what he does most of the time. It takes near constant nagging to get him to do what's expected of him

Arrogance is another trait of his, though it's not overbearing. Just enough to barely step over the line of confidence. It creates an air about him that seems to be slightly alluring to females, something he finds rather enjoyable.

Yet, Kijana can also be somewhat temperamental, getting angry easily if things do not go exactly his way. Some would say he's spoiled, which that could be the case due to the overprotectiveness of his mother. But it has certainly that if things do not go the way he likes, a tantrum is surely going to be the outcome. Kijana has been known to act like a cub at times, stalk off, or nearly get into fights with other lions over the simplest things.

Lastly, there is a soft side to the young prince. He knows when to listen, and he's very loyal to his friends and his family. Despite everything, he fiercely loves the ones close to him, and would quickly do anything for them.

history - Kijana was born to Queen Siku and King Ijayo after the disappearance of his older sister, Vitani, due to cubnappers. As a result of her disappearance, Kijana quickly fell under the overprotectiveness of his mother. As he grew and began to understand his duties as Prince of the Vinelands, and began to find ways to escape them as often as he could which often got him into trouble. As he grew older, he found better ways around his responsibilities, sneaking off to explore for hours at a time when his mother was out with his father, or managing to escape during pride meetings. Now, at the age of three, he's still shirking his responsibilities, finding any out of them he can, and attempting to get out from beneath his mother's over protective paws.

roleplay example - Kijana stretched out in the sun, a yawn erupting from deep within, causing his jaws to spread, exposing massive teeth. He had been out for hours, wandering aimlessly amongst the Outlands, a place he knew he shouldn't be. However, he had little regard for the rules that were set in place. He was a prince after all, wasn't he? So why shouldn't he be able to go wherever he pleased? Laying his massive head on his paws, he gazed about the dusty, desolate lands. They looked almost cursed, as if there was some type of spell in place that kept anything from growing here. Chuffing heavily to himself, he closed his blue eyes briefly, allowing the sun to heat his body for a few minutes before the large brute rose from his spot. As he did so, a small breeze blew across his path, carrying an unfamiliar scent with it. Immediately, the brute froze, glancing around with his bright blue eyes.

A snarl tore from his jaws, rumbling deep in his chest. If it was another male, Kijana hoped the sound of the booming snarl would simply create enough of a threat to drive the other away. Minutes passed, yet there was no sign of an immediate threat. Relaxing his muscles, Kijana inhaled deeply, catching a brief whiff of the scent from earlier. Taking a moment to soak it in, he realized the scent was not that of a males, but a females. Lifting his head high, he scanned the area again, blue eyes taking in the landscape, searching for the shape of a lioness anywhere within his visible range. Finding nothing, he chuffed slightly before heading towards the boundary that separated the territories, deciding that he'd done enough exploring for the time being.
