*+KOTA AND ASHER+*

Intro ++The long grass of the savanna blows left in the morning breeze as the sun rises above the distance acacia trees. The sun’s heat beats down as the gazelles prance between hiding spots. ++ Kota and Asher are two young male lions. Like all males, they have been exiled from their pride by their father after reaching the age where they could challenge him. They’ve been wandering for months searching for a place to settle and begin a pride. In an unfamiliar territory, Kota, being the weaker brother, stays close to Asher, who’s looking around with suspicion. ****************** Kota is slightly smaller than Asher and weaker yet still a mighty lion. He has brown fur and blue eyes. Kota is alert and intelligent, and he knows a lot about the land and its creatures. He is typically friendly, but doesn’t hesitate to sink his teeth into anyone and anything who threatens him and his brother if they don’t listen to his reasoning. He has dreams of being a mighty king with a powerful pride. He’s fast and agile, and he blends in easy with the grass, so he’s a good hunter despite not being the most experienced in combat. Words to describe him: Emotional, sensitive, sneaky, alert, intelligent, worldly, peaceful, protective, thoughtful - - - - Asher is the larger and stronger brother. His fur is pale and his eyes are red, covered in scars of his past battles. He will do anything to protect Kota, and he too dreams of being strong and having powerful cubs to continue his legacy. While Kota prefers to reason, Asher tends to attack immediately-even when he shouldn’t. He’s fiercely protective of his brother and tends to judge and make opinions too quick. He doesn’t show fear-he believes male lions shouldn’t-and although he isn’t the fastest, he’s skilled and strong in combat, and he can take down even water buffalos in direct combat. Words to describe him: hotheaded, strong, hostile, protective, judgemental, caring, natural leader, powerful, ++++++++++++++ Enjoy!
