Description





Name: Raziya {"Pleasant"}
    Nickname:  Raz, Zizi, Blondie. {Disclaimer: Only close friends/family should call her by any nicknames. That does not mean you cannot, she just prefers to be called by her full name by those she hardly knows.}
         Alias: --

Age: Young-Adult {Approx. 5 years}

Pride: Mwanzo

Physical Appearance:  Being fully matured at the age of 5, Raziya has stopped growing and has turned out to be quite the average sized lionesses. Her legs are long, and powerful built for protecting and hunting. Her posture gives off the illusion of her being taller than she really is. As of right now Raziya is spared the mark of scars and just above her left eyebrow is a small beauty spot. A small cluster of "freckles" gather on part of her muzzle. All around this pale golden heathen makes for an average beauty.
        Height: 4'0"
            Weight: 352 lbs
Posture: Regal; Hardly ever slouches.

Voice: Soft, on verge of melodic yet carried with a hint of confidence. When angered her words string together with a hissing sound of sorts.
    Voice Actress: Diana Frances Spencer {AKA Princess Diana} | [Interview]
            Mannerisms: Tilts her head without realizing in the midst of an explanation or in deep thought provoking conversation. Lip quivers when agitated, or offended, however it's only when her tail begins to twitch that you should take note. That is her final warning before striking.




Alignment: Lawful Evil | Type 1

Personality:  :bulletgreen: Astute ||  :bulletgreen: Sedulous ||  :bulletgreen: Intrepid ||  :bulletorange: Uninhibited ||  :bulletred: Censorious ||  :bulletred: Domineering ||  :bulletred: Candid

  • Astute: Having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people and turn this to one's advantage.
    • Knowledge and observation is key. Raziya is highly perceptive of her surroundings, even more than the average lion. She can come to a quick conclusions and twist them around to her own advantage.
  • Sedulous: Showing dedication and diligence.
    • No matter if it's someone she highly respects, or there is something that needs to be done; she will do what she has to. She isn't one to give up easily especially if it's a cause she is passionate about. This makes her a great adversary if you can earn her trust.
  • Intrepid: Fearless; adventurous
    • Adventure is her middle name, of course her unofficial one. Ever since she was a young cub, bouncing about her homelands she was known to get into some sticky situations. She found everything and anything to be an adventure. No matter how big or small; she'd find some way to give her parents a heartattack. Her lionheart is what least her on her greatest adventure yet; the Mwanzo Pride. 
  • Uninhibited: Expressing one's feelings or thoughts unconsciously and without restraint.
    • Not even the greatest of kings could hold Raz back from speaking what's on her mind. She wears her emotions on her sleeve and whether it's anger or joy she'll make sure you know. This trait is both good and bad as her unrestrained tongue has gotten her into a fair bit of trouble.
  • Censorious: Severely critical of others.
    • Nobody is perfect, everyone knows this. However, that doesn't mean Raz cares. If she notices something off about someone or they do something she doesn't particularly agree with she'll look down upon you with the utmost judgement. If she considers you to be a close friend or family, she'll even speak her opinions on the matter.
  • Domineering: Assert one's will over another in an arrogant way.
    • Her way is the best way, after all. Raziya is known for  being bullheaded and even arrogant at times. She like to assert herself over others, sometimes as a challenge to see if they will push back. Anyone that stands up to her earns her respect.
  • Candid: Truthful and straightforward; frank.
    • Lies are for the cowards and weak. Why bother avoiding the truth, when you can save everyone the drama and tell the truth? Stop beating around the bush, look them in the eyes and tell them how it is. Aint nobody got time for your games.

History: If one were to ask Raziya about her past, she'd either shrug them off or tell them there wasn't much to tell in the first place. Not because she had a dull upbringing, but rather she simply doesn't remember much of her early days as a cub. It's strange, sometimes she will have these dreams, or flashbacks of when she could've sworn she was a cub again playing in the tall grasses of lands unrecognizable to her playing with two other cubs.. then she'd see these grown couple approach them. She hadn't a clue as to who they were, but the dreams always felt.. nostalgic in a sense. Unbeknownst to her, those dreams were infact fragments of her past. A reality that soon changed when she was young and most vulnerable..
 
Raziya's parents were the leaders of a far off pack known as the Roho-Ufalme Lands. They were an aged couple, well into their reign and they were highly respected members of their council. Alongside their cherished princess were two other daughters, Ducha and Zarina. The three sisters had a bond like no other. Everyday they'd go out to play with the other cubs in the pride, sometimes convincing them to join in on their questionable adventures. It didn't take long for the pride to give the three a nickname, often referring to them as the "Triple trouble" among other things. It was all in good play, the princesses were the light of the pride. It wasn't long before they were born that their pride had ended their years long war with another rivaling pride. They had come out as the victors, but not without casualties. Many were lost and many ere gravely injured. Some were taken as prisoners while others were forced to commit treason. Dark days were upon them even in the aftermath. 

It had been in the months after their births that royal guards had began noticing a couple lionesses loitering around the borders. They never came together, only one or two at a time seemingly to scout out the area. Paranoid and on guard due to the new additions to the pride, the guards didn't hesitate to deliver this news to Hisani and Kweli. Naturally angered and alarmed, the new parents limited the girls play time outside.. much to their dismay. Raziya was the most furious at this. How dare they keep them cooped up like this?! There was a whole world to explore and she had to miss it! And even when they did get to go out to play they were accompanied by a lionesses or guard. Of course, like all young children Raziya had tricks up her sleeve to lose the adults. Quietly, while her parents were out of official business and while their babysitter napped, the pale golden cub conspired a plan with her sisters. 

Together, the three slipped out of the royal den careful to avoid the eyes of the adults. Luckily most were out for the day on their tasks. This left them with her access to play. The further they got from their home, the more nervous Ducha had become. More than once she suggested that they return home, but after the protests of Raziya they ultimately decided a little fun couldn't hurt noone. So they rolled, tumbled, fought and chased insects in the tall grasses just outside their homelands. High pitched giggles cut through the air as they played without a care in the world. However, their consequence for such dire actions would soon come to light.

All as once everything went silent. The birds stopped singing their songs, the sky seemed to grow a little bit darker. Even the critters seemed to hide from them. But still, it wasn't enough to alarm the girls of any dangers. All at once, their worlds would stop when a pair of lionesses stalked through the grasses right over to them. None could recognize them, and the way they looked down at them.. It was enough to make Raziya herself want to flee back home. One lionesses peered from one cub to the next, as if trying to see which one looked the most appetizing. Suddenly her eyes fell upon Raziya's golden pelt and she muttered something to her partner. Something she couldn't quite make out. Without a single warning or word to her, Raziya was snatched up into the lionesses mouth rendered immobile. Her two sisters were in complete shock. Startled cries left the both as her sister was being carried away by the stranger. Suddenly Ducha cried out and lunged at the legs of the assailant. However, being so young and untrained, she wasn't able to much damage and was simply kicked the side. In fact, when she was kicked she hit her head off a rock not far off, knocking her unconscious. This left Zarina alone to find help. For not just one, but both sisters. Unfortunately by the time she led the adult back to where the event took place not only as Raziya long gone, but Ducha as well. 

Raziya, however, only knows of the life she grew accustomed to. As far as she is concerned she grew up in a pride with a war like mentality. From the age of one you would begin to train as a warrior. Her mother, or who she believes is her mother, was a sweet gentle lioness. Someone who didn't fit in with the rest of the pack. She doted on Raziya as if she were own, mostly because she made an oath to never divulge on where she truly came from. Soon, love became the main reason to not tell her of the secret. After growing into an exceptionally talented and matured lionesses, Raziya decided this life wasn't enough for her. All she did was train all day everyday. And for what? They never went to war. Never had any visitors for that matter. It was like they were just training to keep busy. It was dull and pointless. So on one evening she said her goodbyes to her packs that she grew to love and she set out on her own to find her own adventures. On such adventure she was led to the lands of Mwanzo. A growing pride that seems nice enough. She watched them for a while before growing the confidence to ask for passage into their ranks. The reality of her past unknown, but always with her.. begging for the truth. And as for her dear, beloved Ducha.. Her whereabouts are still unknown til this day. Even Raziya forgot about her in due time not she only ever sees her in her dreams as a stranger.
