OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Maisha is a cunning, yet strong lion. Because of his past, he sees through lions like they're crystal clear water. However, something inside of him is dark, but he tends to try to not let that out. He's somewhat cocky, but this is because all of the lionesses practically want him. His cockiness is very humorous; and he loves humor. He's a bit shy at first, once you first meet him. Don't mistake that though; he packs a good slash in the face.
He has a short-temper, and a nasty attitude. This is only when you piss him off. Otherwise, he's happy. He helps out any lions that he can, but sometimes, he throws off the Outlanders easily. They piss him off too; with their "Oh, pity me" and "I'm so cunning, I can beat everyone!" attitude. He respects the lions who respect him. You don't earn his trust and respect easily. Maisha has some trust issues, but that's only because of how he was raised.
Maisha keeps his mind strong as well as his body. He works out often, either by running or just playing with the cubs. He loves cubs, and one day wishes to be a strong father. He tends to act like a leader, but this isn't on purpose. Instead of following the rules, he breaks them. However, he knows his boundaries, and won't try anything stupid. He protects the ones that he loves, and even his crushes. No matter who the cub is, he will protect it with his life. That's just who he is.
FAMILY:
Makika - Mother. Deceased.
Liono - Father. Deceased.
HISTORY:
Unlike most brutes, Maisha was born in a rogue pride. There, his father was king and his mother was queen. Their pride consisted of six lionesses, which was all they needed to survive.
Maisha was the only born, only because the lionesses had little to eat, and little to hunt. Environmental periods were tough on them, as they lived in the crawling desert, where the sandstorms were horrible.
This was not any different.
When his father went out one day with three lionesses to hunt, they never returned. Many theories are with this, but the common one was that the sandstorm sucked them into the far desert. Without a father figure, Maisha felt... one part of him died. He was raised, surrounded by lionesses. He was a gentlemen, yet was taught to be fierce when needed. When other prides came, he learned to fight them off, growing stronger as he grew up.
Everything was going fine. His pride was glowing, and not on the edge of dying. Survival rates were good, cubs were finally being born. Maisha felt he was doing something right....
His mother disagreed.
For whatever reason, [we believe ever since his father disappeared, she went insane] she challenged him for leadership of the pride. He couldn't fight his mother, didn't even want to, so instead, he left.
And wandered.
He grew, trained in the desert, for four years. Every day he trained, and barely slept at night. He grew into a frustrated, player-like lion, that would do anything to get what he wanted. Until he met Kovu, in his early reigns of kingship. He stumbled into the Pridelands, on the edge of not surviving. Kovu saved him, had a feeling that this brute would do good, and so, he was right.
Ever since then, Maisha has been Kovu's best friend, and advisor, besides Vitani, in the pride. He's a beautiful lion with a good heart, but a fierce attitude.
