You used to be an orphan. Your parents and you were separated during a flood. Water was good because your last was pretty much a desert, but the rainfall poured too heavily.

As you were holding onto a floating branch on a riverbank, you met Taka, who helped you out of the water along with his mom. His father, the Pride leader, was reluctant on keeping you, but agreed only if you stayed with the lionesses.

You still played with Taka and hung out, just that you couldn't stay with the lions. Which wasn't bad, you learned quite a lot about hunting and recognizing stuff through scent as you grew.

Years later, while hunting with your adoptive mom, Eshe, things escalated and you ended up killing a member of the Outsiders Pride. That created a war between the two Prides and you and Taka were adviced to run.

So you did. You ran far so you wouldn't get killed along with your family. It had been days, barely dodging encounters and getting killed by the Outsiders and you were starting to get hungry and tired.

Just then you sensed a scent. Unfamiliar and it wasn't an Outsider. Someone was following you and Taka got worried. He himself wasn't good with this stuff due to being with the male lions of your Pride so he relied on your skills.
