Cheri

Cheri is a lioness and a member of the Gheiri Pride.

Appearance
Cheri is a thin and lean lioness, though surprisingly compact. In regards to height, she is fairly tall, especially in comparison to her sisters, both of whom are rather short. Her fur is short and straight; it lies very flat against her skin, highlighting the contours of her frame. She has long, lanky legs that lead up to sharp, prominent shoulders. Her facial features are all very pronounced, especially her muzzle and jawline. Atop her head, a short tuft of fur curls back. Her fur is a distinctive reddish hue, pale peach on her underbelly and muzzle. She has rather small, round eyes that are a brilliant sky blue in color. Her wide nose is light pink, and the tuft at the end of her tail is a very dark brown.

Personality
Cheri is considered rude by many of the lions in her pride, as she rarely bothers to be courteous. She feels that it is a waste of time, and saves good manners for those that she actually likes. Often curious, she likes to know everything that is going on and has a tendency to gossip. She is quite reckless, and like the rest of the cubs who her born during the war between the Gheiri Pride and another pride, she was raised to be bloodthirsty. She did not turn away from these teachings, and soon abandoned any thoughts of mercy or cowardice; to her, the two are one. Despite her brutality, she cares for both of her sisters and would willingly sacrifice herself to protect them. In the end, it was this that killed her.

Early Life
Cheri made the journey with her pride as an older cub. She supported and helped her sisters, especially Huzuni. The three of them watched the pride as they made the decision to declare war on another pride. The three cubs did not understand most of this, but came to learn what it meant as they grew into adolescents and were trained to fight and hate the other pride.

Cheri later died as an adolescent, protecting Huzuni from being killed in a battle.
