Name: Tinashe
Name Meaning: (unisex) "God is with us"
Gender: Male
Species: Lion
RP Role: Son of Tenga and Imani; prince of Grass Walls.
Physical Description: Tinashe inherited the dark colors of his mother's family, resulting in a rich umber pelt with a tan underside, brown eyes, and a very dark brown mane (when he gets older) and tail tuft. Also like his mother, he is long and thin, yet with enough muscle to hold his own in a fight. By contrast, he has his father's handsome, but hard and angular facial features, though they are somewhat softened by his usually friendly expressions and gentle bearing.
Personality: Tinashe inherited his mother Imani's personality, and then some! While his mother has grown more reserved with the weight of her responsibilities, Tinashe is still young and vibrant. As enthused about exploring as Imani once was, he often goes with her on 'explorations' through their land, but his lust for adventure has yet to be satisfied. An intelligent, honest, and considerate cub, he tends to be intuitive to others' feelings, and tries to do things that make them happy. Still, he is not without faults. For example, he tends to be stubborn, talkative, and a relentless nag when he wants something. Overall, though, he is very kind and loveable.
History: Tinashe is the youngest son of Imani and Tenga, and the little brother of Usugu. While he knows that he is not first in line for the throne, he really doesn't want the responsibility that comes with rulership. Though his father has warned him that he will someday have to make it on his own-- as all young males must-- Tinashe doesn't desire to think on it. He's happy and he loves his family, and that's all that matters to him right now. Little does he know how that love will be tested in the future....
