Zahir

General Information

Name: Zahir
Age: 10 months
Gender: Lion
Species: Lion
Alliance: Pridelander/Loner

Personality

At the moment, Zahir is a rather shy, reserved cub that tends to only get active around other cubs and Mheetu. Of course, he will grow out of this around the pride as he becomes more use to their presence, but at the moment, he tends to steer clear of most of the pride; mainly Kiara as she looks the most like his mother and he is slightly bitter toward her. Mheetu has been trying to get him over this little bump. Overall, Zahir is a very silent young cub, always trying to learn to do better at stalking, go as far as to stalking the tails of those that are speaking with Mheetu. As he grows, the tail stalking will stop, but he will always be a silent lion.

Appearance

Zahir will always stand out, simply because of his white pelt color. Born with the rare coloring in his pelt, it was the reasoning behind his abandonment by his mother and acceptance by Mheetu. The only other color on him, besides the white, is his black nose and black tipped ears, which will begin to form as he grows.

At the moment, he is a bit smaller than most of the cubs in the pride, but that will also change once he grows. Once older, he will sport a very muscular build that, if he wasn't white, could help him gain control of a pride. Yet, Mheetu isn't very sure that Zahir will ever have a mate, due to his coloration.

History

The beginning of Zahir's life was probably the most interesting thing that happened to him. Born to a first time mother and an Outlander, he and his three siblings were pretty much given a slim chance of surviving. By the time he was a couple of months old, his mother asked another lioness too watch over her cubs for just a few hours, then she would be back. The young lioness picked him up and took him on a trip. At first, Zahir thought that he and his mother were going to do something fun, but when she put him down, then turned away from him, he wasn't sure what to do.

As he watched his mother walk away from him, he began meowing and screaming for her, wanting her to come back to him and take him with her. She did none of that, only walked away and out of his life. Yet, he had been extremely lucky, as Mheetu showed up a few moments later, taking him from the ground and into the loving arms of the Pridelands.

At first, many looked at him with strange looks and for awhile he didn't know why. Until he was told by another cub that he looked funny, which sent him running to the comforting arms of Mheetu, where he found out the reasoning behind his mother abandoning him in the Pridelands. "You are a white lion, Zahir,"

When you grow to hunt, you will have a much harder time to stalk your prey, but that just means when you do bring down your prey, you have concurred all."[/color] From then on, Zahir trained to do his best, always wanting to do better than the younger cubs.[/blockquote]
