[mlkfaa] - Character -> Busajja by Iri

[Iri]

Name meaning: "Manliness"
Parents: Unknown
Sisters: None
Brothers: None
Mate: Keyah

Appearance:
Busajja is colossal and muscular. Compared to some of his lionesses he is enormous. He has a black mane and an extremely dark mud-brown pelt. His iris colour is a dark red and his eye "whites" are bright yellow. He always wears either a frown or a cruel smirk. His underbelly is lighter brown and his nose gradient is only a few shades lighter than his mane pelt colour. He has a black "Outsider" style nose.

Personality:
Busajja is certainly less cruel than his mate, Keyah. He has less of a bloodthirsty and cruel nature, but he is still very harsh and mean nonetheless. He is extremely strong and doesn't hesitate to show any one of his followers who is boss around their territory, and who is dominant- him.

Arrogant, one could say accurately. He's terribly narcissistic and does have a tendency to believe that he is better, that he was always destined to be the leader of the rogues. He thinks that he is the strongest lion there is, and he despises being overpowered.

He is very battle-hungry and brutal, going to extremities to keep his reign as leader and his power over the other lions in his pride.

History:
Neglected as a cub, Busajja was rather lonely. He was never bullied, for his strength always allowed him to attack any cub that teased him. He wasn't abused by his family- he was just neglected and left to the side. His brother was more important than him to their parents.

When he was taken in by the rogues, he slowly developed a crush on Keyah. To his delight, the feeling was mutual. He waited a long time, and after a few years spent together, he asked Keyah to be his mate. She accepted, and later Busajja even made her lieutenant after he witnessed her saving Tindo, her brother, from a pack of African wild dogs.

Busajja nearly forgot his past, his arrogant, bullying brother, and his negligent parents. Even though it never truly got wiped from his memory, he decided it was no use to dwell in on the past all the time. He had his mate, two loyal second-in-commanders, and a good home.

Later, Keyah told him he was going to be a father- she was expecting cubs. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage and she never had the cubs. Though he was greatly disappointed, he didn't grieve over it too much. To him, Keyah was the only one that really mattered. He did care a bit for his pride, but not as much as he cared for Keyah.
