Character Information

Name: Nia
Canon or Non-canon? Non-canon
Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Birthplace: The Pridelands
Personality:
Nia is a fierce, charismatic lioness with a bad sarcastic streak and an enourmous ego.
She is easy to please and quick to anger, usually her moods swing back and forth from either one
She is incited to anger very rapidly and becomes defensive even at the tiniest quip or comment.
Always the "go-getter", Nia is first in line to voice her opinions and charge (quite literally) into battle like a warhorse, whenever they'll let her that is.
She is extremely brave and often cocky, lapsing into long exaggerated stories of her and her hunting party's exploits.
She operates more on instinct than reason, unless it conflicts with her direct orders, what she feels is what she chooses to do, with very little apprehension or forethought involved. Though she has never had cubs (yet) she feels a strong maternal instinct which reaches into her soft heart and often clouds her judgment.
However she hates being embarrassed and ridiculed more than anything else, and if she feels as if she's being targeted or singled out her response can be venomous and severe even to her friends and loved ones
She may appear self reliant, insensitive and cantankerous but she really desires the company (and approval) of others more than anything and she doesn’t feel half as powerful as she makes herself out to be if they are not standing by her.
Physical Description:
Nia is a stout lioness with a dusty pale pelt, blended well to suit the dusty southern savannah, her unique mottled coat is dappled in rosy blotches of darker and lighter browns, on her squared head, her strong thick neck and down her back, they give her an extra advantage in stealth, and with her muscle to back it up, she makes a fearsome hunter and fighter. Her fur sticks up in quite a few places, but perhaps only because she's negligent in her grooming.
Her muzzle, neck and large paws are a slightly lighter color, like most lionesses, unlike them however she also has a few whiskers gracing her muzzle.
She has a pair of bright blue eyes, giving an odd contrast to her otherwise dull and ragged appearance.
History:
Nia was born into the Pridelands in a large litter, in the usual manner, her mother had been apart of the close knit hunting party that circles the Southern Pridelands on their usual rounds. She has been facing hyenas in battle since her early adolescence, chasing them back across the elephant graveyard from the border. and off Prideland kills with her mother, and sisters at her side.
In one of the 'busts', Nia's mother faced thee hyenas at once, attempting to chase them from a kill, she was wounded by the fleeing creatures before the rest of the party could get there and died later of the wounds she sustained.
Nia took her mother's premature passing hard, and though she always felt a sense of rivalry for hyenas, her hatred of them became overpowering.
She had been ambivalent to Mufasa's rule, his domineering benebolence was all she had ever known, though she did not have close relations with him, or the rest of the royal family. She watched with a cocked eye as Simba began to grow up, and felt her heart sink when she was among those who discovered his body, battered and torn in the dusty darkness of the Gorge.
She has been closed mouthed through the beginning of Scar's rule, up until now when she has all but openly voiced her outrage at the introduction of hyenas into the Pridelands.. She is smart enough not to speak too loudly, but she makes no secret of where she stands among her pridesisters, and her rage may give way to violence if the opportunity presents itself.
