Sengalo
Adopted from: lil dazi
Character Description:
Sengalo is a well-built lion with a reddish brown coat. He has a pitch-black mane that is slicked back, but three stray hairs hang over his face. The tassle of his tail is also black, as well as his elbow tufts. His toes are a dark brown hue. Sengalo has peircing green eyes with smaller than normal pupils and the "whites" of his eyes are a bright yellow. Surrounding the eyes are brown colored "patches." Sengalo carries a pink scar over his right eye, and normally has a mysterious, suspicious look about him.
Character History
Sengalo is the "unknown" son of Scar. His mother was a kindred lioness named Taugadi. Sengalo was born literally minutes after his father's "death". Him and Taugadi were exiled along with the other Outsiders. Sengalo and Taugadi were despised by their fellow Outlanders, for they thought that the mother and son were another "reason" for them being exiled. Out of jealosy, Zira kept the secret of Sengalo being Scar's son the true heir from the other Outlanders. Sengalo was childhood friends with Vitani and Kovu, possibly the only friends he had out of the Outsiders.One day, while Taugadi and Sengalo were scavenging for food, they were attacked by the hyena pack, the same one that "killed" Scar. Taugadi tried to fight them off, but they overpowered her. Sengalo suffered a scar on his right eye from the attack, while Taugadi lost her life. When Sengalo returned to the Outlanders, he was more vulnerable to their teasing and bullying without his mother. He had no choice but to flee from the Outlands, not even bothering to say good bye to Kovu and Vitani. To make them forget about Sengalo, Zira informed them that he died soon after he left. Sengalo kept wandering the territory outside of the Pridelands and Outlands until he collapsed from exhaustion. He was found hours later by a cheetah named Amber. Having a soft spot for cubs of any species, she revived Sengalo and took him to her den. Sengalo was reluctant at first to be adopted by a cheetah, a "lower" predator as far as he was concerned, but knew he had to get used to it. He grew up with Amber's daughters, Sesate and Pera, and a strange, hybrid cat that Amber had rescued not long after Sengalo, Rokama. Sengalo grew up to fall in love with Sesate, but the feelings weren't mutual. She was really in love with Rokama and only loved Sengalo as a brother. Heart-broken and enraged by this, Sengalo attacked her when he found out the truth, but was beaten off by Rokama. Sengalo fled from the scene and had wandered ever since. He eventually found himself in the Pridelands once again, just at the peak of the war between the Outlanders and the Pridelanders. Clever enough to lurk about unseen, Sengalo witnessed the death of Nuka, Kovu's "betrayal" to the Outlanders, and Zira's "death". He had found her drenched body down the river. Dazed and mistakening Sengalo for Scar, Zira admitted her failure to the mission. As much as Sengalo had despised her, he couldn't help but mourn and try to console her. Believing she died in his arms, Sengalo shed one tear. Sengalo took it as his responsibility to avenge those that had been taken away from him and to get revenge on those that had caused him so much pain. Sengalo is a darkened soul now and he probably never will return to the innocence he once was...
Sengalo is a suprisingly well climber and hunter. Growing up around different species of cats, he learned the different techniques that were unique to them. Sengalo's hunting skills are self taught and it would seem that his knowledge for hunting were beyond his years. Sengalo normally keeps to himself and does well at concealing his emotions from others. However, he does suffer from what you could call "blind rages." If Sengalo is angered enough, he'll tend to lash out at anyone or anything in his way, often not remembering what happened when he's finally calmed down.
