Sogea

Character for:

Name: Sogea („Approach“ in Swahili)

Age: Young Adult

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual; yet she prefers male over females (she thinks them to be „easier to handle“)

Pride: Ardhi Ya Joto

Personality: All in all Sogea is a cheerful, friendly and loyal yet stubborn female who prefers not to listen to anyone's orders but the ones of her rulers. Therefore she tries chasing away any intruder, rarely giving them the chance of explanation and easily gets herself in trouble and smaller fights. Even though she is not the best fighter but a fast lioness who knows how to use speed instead of strength only but her attacks are risky and whenever she fails at one it's going to end terrible for her.

Different to most of the lions she had met before she is more of a dominant type, enjoying if everything goes the way she wants it to be – which usually is the easiest one for her.

Despite being a little disobedient at times herself she does not forgive those who disrespect the ones she looks up to and defends those she calls friends not only verbally but also physically if necessary. Being the young lioness she is she is more or less seeking for love and a good mate yet tries to oppress this urge to pay most of her attention to the pride and its well-being instead of her own.

Appearance: Extra info: she's about 2'8" tall and with this size a kinda small lioness. Also her legs a muscular because she is not only good at running and fast but it also is her hobby.

History: Sogea's father is unknown, probably a rogue or Nomad, but her mother Kuanguka made up for this loss with an extra amount of love. Most lions of the Ardhi Ya Joto would consider Kuanguka to be a selfish and retired, almost slightly insane acting lioness and – being honest – they weren't quite wrong with that assumption. There was nothing tragically which had happened to the adult lioness, it was just her personality to be this way and Sogea never had a problem with this. After all she still was her mother, no matter how weird she could be at times, how much she'd dig for insects in the mud just to throw them in front of the cub and telling the youth to eat them since they were healthy.
Just like Sogea herself Kuanguka wasn't a good fighter but she taught her daughter to hunt, to sneak and attack from behind, use her surroundings and the darkness of the night and not needing her strength only. „Strength is a male attribute, intelligence the females'“, she'd always use to say.
However, she lost her life to this said 'male attribute', being killed by a rogue when she defended Sogea, who back then already was a teenager.

Since the day her mother died Sogea bears rogues a grudge and easily forgets herself when seeing one, her mood switching to aggressive immediately and she quickly turns into a rather uncomfortable company to have around.

Secret word from the rules: Toaster Oven (Does such a thing even exist? Isn't it just called a toaster?)
