~~~Cubhood~~~Ikenna was the 3rd cub sired by Temba, the loner male who had lived his whole life without the help of others, until he was forced to by an injury which left him cripled. Once Temba settled down, he had his first two cubs, Kades and Ikenna. The two cubs were popular among the growing pride, since their father was popular and a loyal brute who helped with battle plans for the pride. In that time the pride was thriving, with plenty of prey and loyal lionesses who kept the pride together. But by the time the next Mating Season came along, the pride had turned against each other, and the reason was because of a single, dark-pelted cub, Ikenna. Temba's newest son who sonwas a product of a lioness from another pride, a rival. The pride's king told Temba that he could kill his cub, or leave the pride. Temba said no, so the king attacked. Kades and Thabo tried to help, but they could do little to help their crippled father. The king killed Temba, and exhiled the 3 brothers.
~~~Teenhood~~~Kades and Thabo had raised their smaller brother into a teen. The were both 2 years old, and they soon found 3 more young lionesses. The young lions functioned as more of a family, than a pride. The lionesses taught Ikenna a more softer side of life, rather than the dark and grungy life that the 3 brutes had lived in earlier. The family stuck together as they all grew into adults. Ikenna was now 2 years old, and his instincts told him to travel out, on his own without his brothers. It was hard to leave his brothers, but he knew he had to be alone, just as his father had been. The young lion found it hard at first, but he was guided by the instincts of his father. He met lions that didn't know his past, and they didn't judge him because of his pelt, or his mother.
~~~Adulthood~~~Ikenna began to respect his dark pelt as he grew into an adult, it reminded him of his struggle through his cubhood. Instead of turning against lions, he noticed that not all judged others, no matter what was wrong with them. If he never joined a pride because he thought that they were all like his old one, then he was judging. He followed the scents of many lions and he soon found Flourite Plains, where he now runs with the Darkest of Dawns pride.
Thanks for reading Ikenna's bio, which is still WIP. Please don't steal him, or his history, and if you see me(Beasty) on Ikenna, then come and talk. c:
