Description

EDIT:
I decided to change Aina's design a little because I realized she looked a lot like Subira (my version of Vitani's daughter) who also appears in the story.  
I mainly changed Aina's color from bright gold to more pale tawny. I also gave her gloved paws, light nose fade and removed her earrims.
Her eye color was also changed to match her father's instead of Zuri's which she had before ;)

Remember these two from this picture?

I decided to make these two on the same sheet since they aren't that important characters that they would need one each.
I may do this with the Mstari pride too when the time comes.

Fun fact, these character's personalities are partly inspired from people I have known in real life at different points. x)
Aina is also meant to remind a bit of Zuri as we know her in the TLG, but I consider Aina to be worse. Her name is meant to be ironic since it means "Kind".

Jamili's character was a little tricky to describe, but I hope it makes sens.  
I was tempted for a while to give him an identical twin sister, but decided I only needed one of them xD. 

:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Aina

Family:
Zuri (mother) 
Hasani (father) - Dead

Info:
Aina is the result of Zuri's ill-fated relationship with the former rogue, Hasani. Since he died before Aina was born, she never met her father and was therefor raised by her mother alone. The events with her mate changes Zuri from the prissy lady she once was to a more humble lioness. While Zuri loves her daughter more than anything, Aina turns out to be a difficult child and their relationship is therefor often tense. Zuri sees much of her younger self in Aina and tries her best to raise her into a better lioness.  

Aina is proud, snobby and arrogant.
Much like her mother, Aina cares a lot for her outside looks and hates activities that puts her at risk of becoming dirty. Deep inside she is also very insecure about herself and deals with it the worst possible ways. 

As a cub and teenager, Aina was fairly popular along her peers and was picky about the ones she chose to associate with. Being admired by the other cubs ends up making her a bit delusional, self-centered and blind to how she treats others. Therefor, as the others grow up and became more mature, Aina's attitude don't change much. She was used to be admired and remains stuck-up and arrogant. Because of this, she ends up losing most of her friends over the years which turns her bitter and feel betrayed. Eventually, there is only one lion that would still willingly to be her friend. Which is Kion and Tiifu's son, Jamili.

Aina considers herself perfect queens material and hates the idea of a tomboy like Vizuri will receive the future title. Despite their mothers being close friends, Vizuri and Aina can't stand each other. Aina often criticize Vizuri and get furious when Vizuri ignores her (something she is not used to).

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Jamili

Family: 
Tifu and Kion (parents)

Info:
Jamili is an odd lion both as a cub and adult. He seems indifferent to pretty much everything. He always keeps a neutral face and a calm voice even in extreme situations. Jamili isn't very talkative, but when he does talk he will always be completely honest, regardless how it makes you feel. He is also extremely intelligent and has a talent to predict when a situations is about to turn bad.

He does (in his own way) cares deeply for his close ones and is very loyal to those he consider his friends. He is especially fond of his cousins and likes spending time with them from time to time. Jamili also have an odd fascination with Aina. He is not sure why, because he is not blind to her many flaws. He just likes her. Therefor when he notice that most of her friends isn't willingly to put up with her anymore, he is there and offers her his friendship.

Jamili has a close relationship with both his parents, especially with his mom. But as young parents, Kion and Tiifu wasn't sure what to make of Jamili's behavior since he didn't act like other cubs. As an infant, he almost never cried. Then when he grew older and started to form a sentience, his lack of emotional expression worried his parents at first. He never lied to them either, but always admitted when he had disobeyed them and accepted the consequences without protest. Which often left Tiifu and Kion puzzled. Should they be worried? However, as time went on, they started to think of it less and less and just accepted that their son was special in some way they didn't understand. They loved each other non the less and knew Jamili loved them too even if he didn't show it like other cubs.

Does Jamili have some form of Asperger's? Because he sure seems to. (Not that it's bad; I actually think it's interesting when characters show signs of it, like in the action film The Accountant.)
