Kukwepa

Cub: Kukwepa is born into the pride along side her brother and sister. King Fahari is extremely fond of the little litter and can’t wait to see how they grow. The king worries about her evasive personality but hopes in due time she will become more social.

Kukwepa has begun training alongside her littermates.

Kukwepa has been excelling in her training. Her brother Nyororo definitely keeps the competition alive. Even though she still prefers to be by herself, Fahari is feeling much better about her place in the pride. Kukwepa worries for her sister Rahisi, who’s been getting the same looks from King Fahari that Hata was getting before being told to find a new pride.

Adol: A year old… wow Kukwepa can’t believe how the time flew by. Shes sort of excited for the next step? Kukwepa will be moved to the huntress den and will apprentice under her mother Kihisia.

Rahisi, Kukwepa’s sister has left for a new pride. Kukwepa desperately misses her littermate, but knows their bond could never be broken.

When Mhitaji warning roar reached her ears Kukwepa was terrified. Even has an adolescence a rogue male would kill her without hesitation. Her mother Kihisa always told her that if a rogue male came to run and hide. But now her mother was handing over Mbaya’s daughters to take with her. Her instructions are clear, her and Nyororo are to take the cubs through the river to hide their scent. Then hide. If Fahari loses, they need to run far away from the territory and raise the cubs and start a new pride elsewhere. They just need to have each other’s backs. Kukwepa goes to call for Nyororo, only to see that he is stepping with Fahari. By gods, what is he doing? He is going to get himself killed! After Fahari he is the only male and next biggest threat to the rogue male. Screw it. Kukwepa can still do this. She grabs Umbali and instructs Kimya to follow. It’s a struggle to wrangle both cubs but she eventually gets through the river and hides them in a tree. Nothing short of relief is felt when Kihisa came and retrieved them. Fahari and Nyororo won. Once Nyororo returned from patrolling, Kukwepa immediately butted up against him; happy her brother was safe.

Adult: Kukwepa has become a full huntress to the pride. It seems she was born for the hunt as her teeth are a little large for her mouth but she thinks it makes her look cool, almost primal. Kukwepa has joined her mother’s hunting party and is ready to begin her adult life.

Her first hunt has a full member of the pride and she gets cut by a gazelle horn?? Not a great start but at least got a cool scar out of it.

3y 1m: Kukwepa’s first ever litter is here! A singleton daughter named Nija. She’s quite cute and already shows great promise!

4y 4m: Kukwepa’s daughter Nija has been given the out date and found a new pride rather quickly! Nija has amazing potential and Kukwepa knows it! She doesn’t worry for her daughter in the slightest and knows she’ll do great things.

4y 11m: Kukwepa has given birth to another singleton, this time a little boy. She’s knows this is an automatic out date for her young son but plans to prepare him the best she can for the outside world!

6y 10m: Kukwepa has given birth to a single girl this month. But it feels like she is raising two since Mhitaji refuses to do anything but feed her young cub.

7y 1m: Even though she only gave birth to a single cub last month… due to Mhitaji’s negligence she also adopted her daughter. Well, now she has two daughters!
