Chikara

Originally named ‘Delu’ by her parents, Chikara chose her own name upon reaching adulthood. Chikara is the only cub In Faline’s third litter, her fourth child overall.

Chikara is a maned lioness, and often patrols the border with the Guard, because her mane gives the illusion of another full-grown male defending the borders, which helps the security of the pride.

Chikara is named after my favorite character from the ‘Hisani’ comic on DeviantArt.

~ You walked up to give Chikara a bro hug, but upon closer inspection you realized that Chikara is, indeed, not a bro. (She absolutely is a bro!!) 2x

~Sprawled out in the shade next to Chikara, you complained how all this fur is just SO HOT. She agreed, sprawling out next to you. Finally, someone in the pride who understands your pain!

~Chikara steps away when you go in for a snuggle, and with concern in her voice asks if you can go somewhere more private.

~You noticed that Chikara’s fur looked sleek and well-groomed today, and some decorations lined her head. It seemed that the other pride mates had some fun with her fluff earlier, and she looked quite proud.

~Frustrated at a recent battle loss while exploring, you meandered over to Chikara and buried your face in her fur. It surrounded your entire face and felt comforting.

~After crossing a river, you started laughing at how Chikara looked like a sodden mat of grass. She laughed as well... so did you! You both spent some time on the bank cackling like morons together.
