Full Description|
Pelokyhale's fur is a typical sandy color, on the more yellowed end of the spectrum. Her markings show a little more contrast than the average lion, however, in that bits like the dark fur on her ears is a little more noticable, as is particularly the lightness of the fur on her neck and chin. She is both stocky and lithe, equaling the weight of a light male lion even at her young age. Though her eyes, like the rest of her coloring, are not unusual for a lioness- a kind of light crossbreed between tan and hazel, they are quite noticeable on their own merit. Like with most lions, her forearms are extremely heavy, as to be their own kind of club- hers are a little more so, and adorned with thicker claws to boot. These claws lose a little sharpness to their sturdy nature, however.

Full Personality|
Pelokyhale is protective first and foremost, especially of those she cares about, but also of possessions and territory. She's rough and affectionate, especially rough, and is generally a calm lion who rules with her emotions and logic combined. While she may usually be playful, she holds a grudge easily and will kill those that threaten what she loves. Pelokyhale is quick to assume the worst in bad situations, though she usually takes more of the side of an idealist. Despite this vengeful side, she is generally accepting and will go to great lengths to extend trust, if only to those who have truly earned it. She's the type of lion who would not push any of the stress of say, taking care of cubs, upon another lioness, but nonetheless would tear a good strip of skin off the fool who would dare hurt those youngsters. She is very mature in some ways, including her protective, logical, and idealistic sides, but in other ways her youth shines right through- she is, anyway, just only four years old, the youngest a lion can be and remain fully grown. This does not mean she is particularly receptive to ideas such as acceptance of lions from other tribes, however, but instead that she would be more willing than an older lion to find a new method of accomplishing things.
{ A LOOK INTO THE PAST }
History|
Pelokyhale was the stronger of her litter when born, and the one out of the two cubs who survived the entire growing process. The other cub was a runt killed by the mother, in order to prevent the mothers milk running out and being inadequate to keep both cubs alive. This all happened in a wildlife reserve in Africa, where the mother and cub were transported to the January City rescue center after the owner of the reserve died. At this point, Pelokyhale was about two years old, and still growing rapidly. She and her mother were kept in confinement for six months, for fear of the diseases the more citified lions could catch off them. However, when they began to attempt introducing Pelokyhale's mother, it became clear that she would not socialize properly with the lions who had already established their own pride and system, instead showing aggression. The efforts continued until she mauled a male lion juvenile of about three and a half years of age when he attempted to play with Pelokyhale, and caused his death through these injuries. Pelokyhale's mother was then put to sleep, and Pelokyhale was raised by the every lioness in the pride. Oddly enough, her main 'mother' was the mother of the cub Pelokyhale's mother had killed. Pelokyhale established strong social connections with the rest of the pride, and maintained them throughout the ordeal with the humans dying out. Matured by the loss of her human caretakers and the 'disappearance' of her mother, Pelokyhale is now the lioness of the present.

I'm sorry, I don't actually know if these rankings are right- I creeped on the tiger page to try and figure out the rankings. However, I should like to be the equivalent of a Protector.
