Akina looks almost exactly like her murdered half brother, Akisi. She’s practically his clone from the moment she’s born, and Brond nearly cries when Enanela introduces him to his infant daughter.
The rumor that goes around the pride is that Akina IS Akisi, reincarnated and sent back. What’s more, many lionesses have been heard to whisper that Akina was born a male, and Enanela took her to the shaman for a potion before showing her to anyone. But, that’s just a rumor. There’s probably no truth to it at all.
Akina is kind to a fault, and never pays much heed to the rumors. She does wear a faux mane as an adult, just cause she likes it, it feels right. And she has weird dreams sometimes…about claws and betrayal.
Her first litter is born the day her mother dies. She is heartbroken Enanela didn’t get to meet her grandcubs, and will probably name one after her beloved mother. Her three girls, Zungusha, Marjani and Nikumbuke, are a great comfort to her and she loves them dearly. When Zungusha and Marjani express a desire to leave the Pride as adults, she encourages them to spend a couple nights at the Giving Tree, where pride leaders can recruit new members.
Many, many litters follow. Akina is an amazing mother, and a powerhouse huntress who provides for her pride for grace and skill. She has five litters, each with whatever king caught her interest, and 11 cubs overall. Some stay and some go out into the world, Akina is proud of them all.

~It would have been a boring day in the pride, but Akina commented on how everyone deserved a well-earned rest. Can’t argue with that way of looking at it!
~Akina playfully chases her own tail before greeting you heartily. 3x
~You were feeling a bit down after a pridemate teased you about a mane tangle. Then, Akina cheerfully asked you what you did differently that morning to look so ruggedly handsome! Awwww, thanks! 4x
