NOTE: Like Tanga, much of Tani's history has to be omitted due to it's importance in the plot of "Lost Rogue"...if you want to learn the full story behind "Tani", you'll just have to read the story!

Name: Tani (loosely translates to "strength" in Swahili)
Species: Lion
Age: 4 years (she was born early in Scar's reign)
Alignment: Selfish Good*
Pride: Pridelands
Positon: Huntress/Commoner
Family: Unknown
Mate: None
Young: Unknown
Description: Tani certainly lives up to her name. She is a solidly-built lioness, taller than many of the males, and every inch of her body is covered in powerful muscles. Her extremely stocky build, coupled with her primarily brown fur, gives her a very menacing presence. Her underbelly is a pale gold colour, with her tail ending in a black tuft. Her eyes are any ice blue hue.
Her massive build, cold eyes, and constantly hard expression give her the impression of complete seriousness, and she bears far less marks that most lions develop from various scuffles and hunts, proving that her muscular body is not just for looks...if you cross her, it will almost certainly be your last act before she literally rips your body into two pieces...with one claw.
Personality: Tani is completely serious and moody. She holds little to no sense of humour, and is very easily angered. She is exceptionally independant, preferring solitude over friendship, finding conversation and gossip rather boring. Her primary way of socialising is to start, or join, a vicious argument.
On the surface, she seems like a horrible lioness to be around, but more observant lions will notice that there is something lying beneath her hard exterior...something that is troubling her greatly. She uses her hard exterior to hide her painful past...and probably protect herself from it as well.
Skills: Tani's immense physical strength means she is a skilled and lethal hunter. The massive weight that accompanies such a big body makes her slower than most other hunters, but if she catches her prey, she is guaranteed to kill it, whether it be antelope, zebra...or other lions.
History: Born under Scar's rule of the Pridelands, Tani was forced to endure a rough cubhood, although the got by fairly well with her natural strength, leaving her a happy, energetic cub, even if she was a little antisocial. During adolescence, she witnessed Simba's return and ascension to king, and as the Pridelands recovered, her lot in life seemed to be improving.
But, in the months folowing Scar's downfall, an event that almost all Pridelanders refuse to even mention today occurred that scarred Tani for life, turning her from a reserved, but content lioness...to a serious, moody Pridelander with a seething hatred any any outsiders...including the Outlanders.

*Tani is a Pridelander, and is content with Simba's rule...but outside her obligation to protect her pride, her alignment is highly questionable.
