Sahala

Sahala is a calm and understanding lioness. Before she joined Azikewe's pride, she had a cub that was murdered by the new male that took over. She left that pride and was on her own for many years. Her beautiful soft features caused many males to attempt to woo her, but it was Azikewe that stole her heart one day when she was patrolling the savanna.
She was the first lioness to join Azikewe's pride, and although she does not always agree with his violent ways or negative motives, she still cares deeply for him and knows that he would protect her with his life.
Since then, she has given birth to two gorgeous female cubs. Once she gave birth, she hid herself away in her nest and let no one see her for fear of them being murdered as her first cub was years ago. Not even Azikewe could approach her, and it was only when he stood his ground as she roared at him that she succumbed and let him see his children.
Months later, she allows the rest of the pride to interact with her cubs. Although it took a while, she finally feels safe in her new pride. Azikewe loves their children, and she can even leave the cubs with him to go hunting and know that they will be safe when she returns.
