History
Born to Naanda and Jamili, along with his twin sister Kula, Chumvi was born into a life of danger. His grandmother, Siti, made it clear from the beginning that his existence was practically an affront to her, and his parents knew there was a very real danger that she would kill him before too long. This only fueled their desire to get away from the murderous queen, and one night they fled, deciding to make a run for the nearby Pridelands. Sadly, Jamili died from injuries he suffered while fighting Siti so his family could escape.
For reasons he could never understand, Chumvi's elder sister, Zira, seemed to hate him, openly favoring Kula over him when she wasn't ignoring his existence. As he grew, he did his best to stay away from her, and spend time with the other cubs his age. But, one fateful day, Mufasa was killed, and Simba had supposedly died too, and Scar took over with Zira as his queen. Not long afterwards, he took to living on the very outskirts of the Pridelands, staying well away from Pride Rock.
The day Simba returned, Chumvi joined the fight against the hyenas, proving his loyalty, and he was allowed to remain in the Pridelands. As much as he didn't like to see Zira banished back to the Outlands, he found it hard to feel much sorrow at her absence from his home.
Family Tree
Naanda (mother), Jamili (father-deceased), Kula (twin sister), Zira (older sister), Sarabi (aunt), Diku (aunt), Dwala (aunt), Mufasa (uncle-in-law-deceased), Scar (uncle-in-law-deceased), Kiara (cousin), Kion (cousin), Simba (cousin), Kovu (nephew), Vitani (niece), Nuka (nephew)
Sample Post
Chumvi yawned and snorted as the rising sun caressed his face, waking him from his sleep, and he sat up slowly, and rather groggily, before stretching. Then he shook his mane and blinked his eyes against the bright morning sun, then frowned slightly as he spotted Kula, padding through the tall grass by herself, likely out to go hunting.
By herself.
Not that she was incapable as a huntress, but she wasn't the best at finding her way around when out on her own. When it became obvious she wasn't being followed by anybody else, he sighed, and rose to his feet, following after her. He carefully made his way through the tall grass, following her scent, until the grass thinned. He raised his head and gazed out upon the Outlands, eyes narrowing as he gaze hardened.
Zira's domain. And Kula had wandered right in. He could just make out her form through the haze. Then he sighed and rolled his eyes as he settled down in the grass to wait. As little as he might care for Zira, he knew Kula at least would be safe in her territory. Zira, after all, did like her best.
