general information
[/align]
  • NAME: Liana
    NICKNAME: Liya, Lilly
    GENDER: Female
    SPECIES: Lion
    RANKING: Member
    AGE: Adolescent

    PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Liana is a thin, lithe lion, though not for good reasons. She tends to try and keep herself thin to help with her hunts, but considering she eats about as much as a bird that isn’t exactly hard. She is as starved as they come in the Outlands, her ribcage clearly visible through the thin layer of fat she has on her. If not for her muscles, she would have most likely collapsed from exhaustion in the deadlands a long time ago. Her pelt is a light honey cream, while her underbelly is barley any lighter, though a fair amount duller.
    Her fur is generally a dirty texture, coated in dust and earth from her mostly empty hunts in the outlands. Her fur is grown out in some areas, notably her cheeks and the back of her knees, whilst the hair tuft at the end of her tail has grown to drastically it is used commonly to brush away dust and termites from where she might try to sleep.

    Liana has a generally typical face to other Outlanders, with the sharp nose and angered snout. Her chin is not quite as outwardly slanted as other Outlanders, but is still angled and menacing, as are her eye sockets, with large pointes eyebrows resting atop them. Her eyes have bright red sclera just as her kin, and her pupils are sharp bright yellow, able to penetrate even the darkest night.

  • PERSONALITY: Liana is an unfortunate soul, tricked and confused just like many other young members of the Outlands. Her foulness is triggered by what she has been told by her family and pack, and because of this she treats all Pridelanders, and in fact all those who do not hail from the Outlands with great disrespect, and may even attack any Lion that isn’t recognizable amongst the pack.
    To those within her pack blood, Liana tends to show great care and sympathy, going so far as to loving many members of the pack as family.

    Liana tends to hold her own opinions amongst most others, and generally speaks outwardly of herself instead of others. She also more often than not will insult anyone she thinks is acting in a disorderly manner, or in a way she would not act. This normally leads to fights of course, but this is just the kind of thing that keeps her going, her lust for combat and her love of anger.
    Liana hold no love for any being outside of her Pride, and even then due to her short fuse she gets annoyed with many of them in a matter of seconds of talking.

    If Liana were to ever get the chance, she would leave the Outlands as fast as her paws would take her. She would run all the way to the farthest reaches of Africa, and there she would do nothing but fight. She will never truly be quenched, and it is because of this that she is always left in reserve when a situation unfolds between the Outlands and Pridelands; if she were to get into a fight in the Pridelands, she would never return alive.

    BLOODLINES: None alive

    HISTORY: Liana was born during a sorrowful time, one that began many decades ago and still continues to trail onwards into the modern era. As a daughter of two Outlanders, she was a very lucky cub in that she had lived beyond the first two months, what with the many hungry lions in the Outlands, the scavengers that flew overhead and slinked over the stones, and of course, above all, the ever lasting threat of accidentally passing the border and into the land of Pride Rock.

    Liana was always adventurous, tunneling through the termite mounds whenever the chance raised itself, and always fighting playfully with other cubs in her Pride. She was like any cub, really; she enjoyed fun and laughter and was as adventurous as she was inquisitive about what it was that kept her across the border. Unlike any other lion in the Pride though, she had adapted much faster to not getting much food, to a point in fact that her parents would worry she was on the brink of death almost every day. She ate little more than a single mouse a week, and even when she did she did not savor it, she devoured it instantly, and returned to her fun or duties.
    As a member of the Outlander Pride, she was given responsibilities very early in her life. As a female, and a swift one at that, she was motioned to join the hunting party. She instantly stood out, able bring back enough food to feed at least two lions, which in the Outlands was enough for the entire Pride. Her hunting skill and the little need for food made her a prominent factor for the hunting team, and for much of her adolescence she has been notable for this single skill.

    During her fourth year, she made the childish mistake to stray from the hunting party after spotting a large Addax antelope, an animal able to survive well in the Saharan desert, which must have wandered very far from its own herd. Despite her small stature in comparison to the large animal, she attempted to take it down. Her speed and stealth gave her the upper hand for a moment, but her jaws were not at all strong enough, and though she stayed clinged to the herbivore, she could do no damage.
    It was in these brief matter of seconds that Liana was thrown from the antelope and flung across the arid plains, as she was kicked mid-air by the creatures back legs. As it sprinted off, Liana let out a sigh, as she watched her prey run off, before she blacked out.

    Liana awoke the next morning broken and bruised, lying in the center of the Prides small domain, surrounded by termite mounds. She already could tell what had happened and she knew she had failed them; not only had she failed a hunt, she had abandoned the group, and with one less huntress they had not bought back any more than a few rodents. She was disgraced, and with her injured leg she would never get the chance to show of her skill for a long time, and even if she could she had chosen to avoid it at all costs. For this reason many believe she may be able to hunt as she once did already, but simply chooses not too. This gets her sour treatment more often than not, but at this time in her life, she is hardened against all forms of insult.
    And against most all injuries capable.

    Liana has, since her injury, stayed mostly within the Prides home, venturing out on rare occasions to get drinks and rarely to wander to the border, to look at the land she may one day be able to live upon.
