Personailty
Zora is a fierce lionesses. She is a loyal and brave lioness. But with that bravery she tends to blur the lines between knowing which battles to back down from and which ones to take on. This normally results in her cleaning easily preventable wounds. Zora is a lioness who has trouble trusting others and tends to be a bit of a hot head. But she is loving and caring to those she trusts, loves and it extremely loyal to them. Her friends know they can rely on her in any kind of situation. She has always been mature for her age and is slow to speak. She loves to swim and tends to push herself a little too far when it comes to hunting. When faced with a dangerous situation she tends to remain calm. She is what some would call a night owl and is up most of the night and a good amount of the day. Now like any lion they can be unpredictable so Zora is not always true to these characteristic. Sometimes she does surprise the closest lions to her.



Looks
Dark fur with gray-blue eyes, a few scars, most noticeable is on her right shoulder. Three claw marks.
Zora is a dark, golden brown young female. Her mother had light brown fur and her father had dark brown. She looks a lot like her father. Zora has a deep skin pink scar on her right shoulder. She also has scars on the bottoms on her feet and also scars on her sides but these are not as easily seen because of her dark fur. Her eyes are a dark blue and tend to be the first thing lions notice about her. Her face it normally serious and her body in hardly ever in a relaxed position. She is a bit tall for a lioness and her legs are muscular. Zora's tail is very thin and has a bushy brown hair on the end and her under belly, neck, and inner sides of her legs that are creamy white fur. Her claws are long and sharp that glint in the hot sun. Her nose is a light pink which is inherited from her mother. She ears are medium size and the color surrounding her eyes are lighter than her fur. Overall she is a serious looking lioness, with lean muscles.



Past
Zora was born into this world in the late night but her birth was not a time of rejoicing but a time of grieving. Zora’s mother had mated with a rogue and her child was considered illegitimate. Now their pride leader had made a law saying that if a lioness mated with a rogue and became pregnant, she and the child must leave the pride lands. But if the mother could not take care of the cub then a close relative could volunteer too take the place as the parent. Akoth who was Jumoke’s sister, volunteered to take Zora, knowing that she could not take care of the cub herself. Zora grew up learning about her mother but little of her father. She was constantly told that her mother and father loved her very much. Akoth taught Zora many important lessons about to be honest and think before you speak.
Because she was abandoned by her mother and father, she has issues trusting others, she also was cast out of the pride and is bitter because of it. Of course, she isn't very open about this at all.
