Personality : Askari is very struck on being on her own, and hates having company. The only ones she'll allow around herself are the cubs she had stolen and decided to raise as her own. She is very independent, and does things often without thinking. She's very hostile and aggressive, and holds a grudge against the Pride Landers. Deep inside, she is a lonely lioness who wishes she had her parents back.
History : Askari is the daughter of Scar and Zira, and the twin of Nuka. Since Scar did not accept Nuka as his heir, he didn't accept Askari either. Seeing how he treated females, Nala snuck out with Askari at night, leaving her in Ni's paws. Ni did not like her very much, seeing that she was the daughter of his enemy, but he still took her in. Dara, Ni's mate, was thrilled to take care of her. Nala left soon after, wondering if she had made the right decision or not.
Soon, Askari grew up happily, not knowing who her real parents were. But when she was a teen, the words of her real parents slipped from Ni's muzzle, breaking his daughter's heart. The two brawled it out with a heated argument, resulting in her exile and a scar, much like her father's, but placed in the middle of her forehead.
Askari's life was miserable as a rogue. Male lions would often fight her for what little food she had. She was a poor fighter and a poor hunter, so she often starved and got hurt. She slowly became like her parents, insane. It was during that time that she came up with a plan. She would take the cubs from other prides and raise them to avenge her father's death. Her first cub was Afua, who was took from the Pridelands, and was raised to kill. The next cub she found was one from the Sealands, named Asrali. The two cubs were raised to defeat the Pridelands and the Dusklands. Even though Askari wanted revenge, she never really had time to plan it, since training her family was a very big task.
When the cubs were grown, Kovu and Kiara were the rulers of Pride Rock. Askari sent her children into action. They tried to attack the pride, but they were defenseless against the giant amount of lions and lionesses in the pride. Both were killed instantly. Askari tried to attack as well, only to die with a terrible fate.
Tell me what you think about her if you want. I am thinking about making a comic about her, so I could use some ideas as well.
