Personality: Kujali, like her name meaning, is a very caring lioness who's motherly instinct to care for her sons is stronger than her own will to survive herself. Even though Dhoruba scares her, she knows that he can not harm her or make her bare any more heirs ever again due to her being well liked among the other lionesses. She keeps to her close friends, two of which are her half daughters but she doesn't see them as relations. She believes friendship and her sons are the most worthy thing she has in her life.
Description: Colours as seen in pictures. She is beginning to grow old, and get a little too skinny, but she remains to be an excellent huntress although never getting any of her kills to herself.

History: Her mother came across the Leondas pride while she was pregnant, and for her own safety and her unborn cub's, she joined. From the moment Kujali was born, life in the pride deteriated and Kujali's mother found herself unable to leave. When she became the subject of the leader's interest and he made his move on her, Kulaji's mother lashed out and dared to speak up about his cruel ways of leading the pride.
The lion she was speaking to was Dhoruba's father, and it is said that he was only half as bad as Dhoruba and killed the lioness out of cruelty. Kujali was luckily at the age of 3 when this happened, and knew how to hunt. She made friends and the pride valued her as an excellent huntress.
When Dhoruba killed his father and took over, Kujali was one of the many lionesses made to submit to him and bare an heir. He decided that since Tajiri was so strong, he'd try his luck again with her and was disappointed with Jasiri. Kujali is ashamed with herself for letting Dhoruba control her so easily, but completely refused his offer of being his permanent mate, and was surprised that the other lionesses stood by her and told Dhoruba they'd leave if he harmed Kujali.
She raised Tajiri and Jasiri through many hardships, but she still managed to show them love and affection, and told them violence wasn't the answer to things in this world. She was devastated when Tajiri was exiled, and hopes he is ok wherever he is.
Position: High in the hunting party, but it doesn't help her with getting food.

Children: Tajiri and Jasiri
