Say "uh-RAH-oo-ruh"
No known meaning

Kidnapped by poachers as a small cub, Araura feared she would never see her twin sister Utashi again. She was sold to a family with a small child, who insisted on dying Araura's fur bright blue. After a few years the girl realized it would be better to release the growing leopardess back into the wild. Sadly, though, it was almost impossible for Araura to fend for herself, what with her conspicuous coloring and lack of experience.
Luckily the Twilight Pride took pity on her, and the young leopard was taken in by the pride's most respected sorceress, Kiani. Araura soon became fast friends with Kiani's two children, Ishara and Azima, and was also an extremely sedulous and gifted student of magic.
Araura's eyes are violet, as are those of any other animal mages. Her specialty is healing.

Say "uh-ZEE-muh"
Meaning: talisman

Azima is the daughter of Kiani and Ishara's twin sister. Just like any other Twilight Pride cub, she was educated in sorcery by her mother. She and her brother always had things to talk about and have always gotten along well. Having been in the company of great friends all her life, she is gregarious and charismatic. She gets worked up a little more easily than Ishara, and he is often the voice of reason for her. She was perfectly fine with receiving a "new sister," Araura; in fact, she was quite excited at the prospect.
She's not entirely happy-go-lucky, though. One night Azima couldn't get to sleep, which may have been a good thing. Withought her help, the entire pride might have perished. Yet there was only time enough to save her two siblings, and she's been haunted ever since by nightmares about her dead pride...
Azima's eyes are purple, as is expected of a sorceress. Her specialty is creating force fields and shields.

Say "HAH-moo"
Meaning: longing, wish

The lion that I use to represent my old-fashioned and somewhat quirky boyfriend. As a character in The ACC his pride is unknown. He's very insightful and likes listening to people argue. He's memorized at least sixty digits of pi. He likes to tickle Mahewa because she "makes weird noises." She's still trying to convince him that he's a good singer; poor guy, he's too hard on himself. (He's crazy tall... I couldn't make it look right in the ref picture)

Adopted from Hannah Outsider

Say "ih-SHAH-ruh"
Meaning: omen

Ishara is the only son of Kiani of the Twilight Pride, and thus Azima's twin brother. He was taught well by his mother and has always been on very good terms with his sister, though he is a bit more sensible. He was never short of friends while growing up, endowing him with a very lively personality. He loves to move. Unlike other lions, he was always up at the crack of dawn to go play with Azima. He tends to sleep very soundly at night, though, and he's much more thoughtful than you might think, especially now that he and Azima are the only blood survivors of the Twilight Pride.
Ishara also has purple eyes. His magical specialty is telekinesis.

Khamuru's mother, a dragon, had been a misfit all her life and never had a mate, but she desperately desired a child. After seeking out Kiani, the sorceress agreed to cast a "spirit-child" spell. The dragon laid an egg a few days later in a secluded cave. She incubated the egg with great care, but this made her vulnerable to an attack by vengeful humans.
So, Khamuru hatched with no knowledge of his "spirit-parents." Luckily he needed no milk, and so he fended for himself from the very beginning. His odd coloring was no hunting disadvantage since he could swoop down on his prey from above. However, growing up with no parents and nothing to do but hunt and sleep, he grew to be very ingenuous and naive. His only recreation was playing with his food. But when he chanced upon an ACC meeting, all that changed...
Khamuru has wings, horns, fiery breath, and odd coloring, but other than that he looks just like a lion. His eyes are green. He prefers not to talk when he doesn't need to, and he's very playful and puppylike.

Say "ma-HEY-wuh"
Meaning: music

My fursona. Will also be used as a character in The ACC. She's multitalented, intelligent, but also very passive and romantic. Makes strange noises when tickled or poked. (Hamu enjoys this.) She's memorized "only forty-six!" digits of pi.

Say "nee-OWN-duh"
Meaning: love, sweetheart

The former mate of Zira and the father of her three cubs. Zira and Nyonda were very close ever since they were young cubs; their best friends were Ni and Malka. But years later an unexpected argument split them apart. He last saw Nuka as a cub and never saw the twins (born during Zira's time at Pride Rock). As a person he is very calm, pensive, and quite friendly. He is still very devoted to his first love Zira and has refused to ever mate again.

Say "OO-kee"
Meaning: honey

Mahewa's little sister. Similar interests, but more athetic and spunky. More sociable. (Stone Pride)

Say "oo-TAH-shee"
Meaning: willpower

Utashi is the twin sister of Araura. After her mother was killed and her sister taken away by poachers, Utashi was forced to fend for herself. She tried not to think about her sad past, and came to be hard and unfeeling, avoiding any friends and becoming a ruthless hunter. One day as an adult, a miscalculated pounce sent her tumbling over the edge of a gorge. Mahewa of the Stone Pride heard her cries and came to the rescue. Utashi learned that friends are good to have around, and soon became close to Hamu and Jua as well.
Though practical-minded and tough, underneath it all Utashi still can't help but think of her family sometimes. Only when nobody is looking will she ever let herself cry, but when she does, it's a horribly sorrowful, tear-jerking thing to see. She has yet to learn to trust and confide in others.
Utashi's eyes are yellow-green. The ragged strip of blue denim tied around her tail is a reminder of the tragic event that changed her life.
