[Iri]

Name meaning: "Medicine"
Father: Unknown
Mother: Unknown
Brothers: Unknown
Sisters: Isibanda

Appearance:
Imithi has dark greyish fur and a pink "Outsider"-styled nose. She has three light grey stripes running across her cheeks, four spots above and below her eyes, and a stripe under her eye. She has grey ear rims of the same shade, and a white underbelly. She has a slim, small shape, but not overly petite.

Personality:
On the contrary to her sister, Imithi is bitter, but not bloodthirsty. It's hard to earn her trust, and even her own kin have to prove their own worth to her. She doesn't like to talk about her past that much, and she hates being social due to her enormous fear of being rejected or thrown to the side.

History:
When she was born, she was carried away by a hungry hawk. But the hawk was startled by something, and she was dropped. Without her mother to look after her, she miraculously crawled under the comfortable space of a baobab tree's roots, where she was kept safe from hungry predators and the hazards of weather.

Imithi got her food by a strange source: the roots of the tree that had kept her safe from the dangers of the world. Still a blind, mewling little cub, she had started to gnaw on the roots blindly, without any true purpose. The roots were soft from the rainy but warm weather, and she survived by gnawing the roots daily.

Thanks to that one tree that had given her shelter and food, Imithi survived until her eyes opened and she moved from the tree. She taught herself how to hunt, but had no real liking to the food she caught. She realized that she had a true passion for plants like leaves, tree bark, twigs, and especially roots.

She's been looked down on due to her love for eating plants, but she got used to it. She survived on her beloved plants until one day, she was attacked by a tawny lioness adolescent. Without any true battle practice, Imithi was helpless.
