Ayo grew up in a nice place, but his father was a little on the intense side with him. Since he was the oldest sibling, his father made sure to bring him up with the highest level of strictness and authority, since Ayo was going to be the one to look over the family when he was gone. Though he has been under a harsh rule, he still manages to escape and wander the Pridelands and find something fun to do. He is very popular with the girls, but he only has eyes for his mate whom he has finally been with after he was sent away from the Pridelands for two years. Even though he has been challenged by numerous to fights for his mate, he only fights to keep her safe and his mate. Other than that, he never fights physically, and likes to make sure not to insult anyone.
Description:
His fur is a colder shade of gray that stands out from his darker shade of brown fur. Through his cool color, he has warm green eyes and yellow outer-eyes. His muzzle, toes, and belly are an off-white shade, and his tail tuff is the same brown color as his mane. He is an average sized male, isn't very fast, but has good strength and is a good hunter.
History: Ayo and his sister, Rufaro, were born far away from the Pridelands, in a land where there wasn't much food or water left, so they migrated to the Pridelands at a older age, where they met Eshe. From there, Eshe and Rufaro got to know each other well and played together all the time, though she was much younger than Eshe. Soon, Ayo and Eshe started to get to know each other better and they fell in love with each other, but Ayo's father didn't approve of Eshe, so he sent Ayo away for two years to the Outlands to train and toughen up, but Eshe followed secretly. They have been living together even since.
Other: Really wants kids, and wants Eshe to bare them for him but she wants to adopt rather than give birth. This is where the mates disagree.
