IMANI

Nicknames: Mani, but only close friends and family call her that
Gender: Female
Age: 4 years old
Species: African Lion
Homeland: Vinelands
Rank: Warrioress/Huntress

Quick Description:Average sized, brown fur, burgundy dot necklace around neck, green eyes, bang
Full Description: Imani is an averaged sized lioness in length and height. However, she is very muscular due to her training and strong. Her markings are different from her aunt and cousin's because of her father. She took on his brown fur, and her tail tip is the same burgundy hue of his own. She has a "necklace", made of burgundy spots around her neck. The traits that she inherited from her mother, show her royal background. Imani has the typical bang that runs in her family for the lionesses, but her eyes are a beautiful green rather than blue. She lacks the lighter fur coloring on her belly and neck, another trait passed on from her unknown father. Her front claws are usually unsheathed, even when she's in a good mood, and she has an Outlander nose.

Personality: Imani is very regal, but laid back at the same time. Being raised by her aunt and queen, she is perfectly groomed for life in a royal court. However, she can find her aunt's friends and guests rather stuffy at times, and usually doesn't hang around for long, seeing as she doesn't have to with Kijana the royal heir. She can be found close to her cousin at all times, even if you can't see her-she's very protective of him and has made it her duty to defend her cousin from any harm. This lifetime goal was spurred by the loss of Vitani, which also brought a new mission to Imani's life; she is determined to find her cousin and bring her home. Because of these goals, she trains extremely hard and is one of the best fighters in the pride. She loves to spar. When it comes to her pride, she is very outgoing and doesnt get angered easily. However, her anger is ignited when her family is involved, and she won't hesitate to strike anyone who tries to harm them. For those close to her, she is a loyal friend who is always willing to help, and she would sacrifice anything for her friends and pride. She's also a hopeless romantic, and often daydreams about finding her perfect mate in her alone time, which isn't easy in reality with her flirtatious tendencies.
Goals: Keep Kijana under her protective eye, find and bring Vitani home to the Vinelands

History: Imani is the biological niece of Queen Siku, making her the cousin to Vitani and Kijana. She grew up without really knowing her parents-her father was a rouge male who left her mother shortly after she was conceived, and her mother, Siku's sister, had fallen madly in love with him. Soon after Imani was born, her mother abandoned her to search for her "true love". She was never seen again, and Siku took her niece in and raised her as one of her own. When Vitani was kidnapped, Imani stepped in to comfort her aunt, the only mother she ever knew. She grieved for their loss; not only did they lose an heir, but she had lost a sister as well. When Kijana came along, Imani treated him as her baby brother, and still does. If you can manage to find him, you can find his cousin nearby, watching to make sure no one comes between her family again. Seeing as she is royal, but not the position to take any leadership responsibilities, she has a lot of time on her paws to do as she pleases. Seeing how Vitani's disappearance changed her aunt, she often wanders the savannah, hoping to find her lost cousin and finally bring her home.
