Family Tree:
Jua Family TreeTigon as a SpeicesA short, tawny pelt; she had the faded markings of her tiger heritage and a mutated tail. Large ears are folded back from the hybridization as well. Lighter underbelly was often dulled as she was fond of laying in sand and dirt to keep cool. She had dark patches painting her eyes which naturally helped with her desert lifestyle. The spots on her ears were not very clear, unless one came closer, but the folds were obvious, as lion and tiger ears typically stand erect.
Malix was a Tiglon: A tiger/lion hybrid (also known as a tigon or liger, ligers being born of lion fathers and tiger mothers). Her mother was a lion and her father a tiger. Her mother was originally from a zoo, but was released into the wild, the zookeepers unaware she was soon to be pregnant. Her mother joined a pride and Malix was born soon after. A year, when the cub started to develop her clear, hybridized features (such as cub spots not vanishing and ears folding back) the pride abandoned the mother and mutant child. The pair managed to survive on the fringes of the desert, but her mother's death pushed the hybrid deeper into the sands.
Were she to ever breed, she can only carry 2 cubs per liter at a time. First Generation cubs have a 50% chance of being infertile. Roll a dice to determine at birth. First Generation cubs have a 50% chance of having faded markings.
HistoryShe lived with her mother for as long as she could remember, abandoned by the pride when she reached a year. She lived in the desert until her mothers death and survived on her own since. She has tried joining other prides but they would immediately chase her away when other members would accept her, leaving her confused and untrusting of others. Fearless around hyena, seeing as her jaw force could match their own with her strength. Has grown to be a loner, but not out of choice. She learned many things in her travels and uses them today.
Her mother was captured in the wild. As a Masai Lion she was placed under study. She had been impregnated by a male tiger originally thought to be sterile as he had been a former victim of medical experiments and placed with Mpole, Shetani's mother, as a companion. When released back into the wild with a radio collar, she would give birth to Shetani several months later.
