Tisa

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

Appearance
Identical to her sister Cheri in color, Tisa has short, soft fur that is a muted reddish brown color. The only other hue that can be seen in her coat is a light orange shade that is present on her muzzle, paws, and underbelly. However, though her pelt is indistinguishable from that of Cheri, Tisa is built very differently. She is short and compact, her body thickly muscled. Despite her bulky build, she is not corpulent, and very little fat contributes to her weight. Her ears are large, with scruffy fur lining the rosy inner areas. She has a diamond-shaped muzzle and a large, prominent coral nose. She has deep-set, glimmering eyes that are a rich green-blue. The tuft at the end of her tail is dark russet brown. Her post distinctive trait is the toe missing from her left forepaw, which she lost as a young cub. It is long healed, but it was this that gave her her name, as she has nine toes in all(not counting her dewclaws and carpal pads).

Personality
Though she is kind and respectful of her sisters, Tisa is a loud and rowdy lioness, always speaking at the top of her lungs and playfully teasing the other lions in the pride. She is not above delivering a sportive blow to the ear or muzzle of another lion, which is not appreciated by many. However, this does not put her off, as she enjoys being seen as fierce and riotous. She is loyal to her pride and would never think about leaving. She considers it an honor to fight for them, and values every drop of blood she spills as a credit to her skill and strength. Barbarous and wild, she has never considered treating those she defeats with mercy.

Early Life
Cheri made the journey with her pride as an older cub. She never lost her good spirits and always was leading the other cubs in play. 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, though Tisa understood that it meant violence. This was confirmed when they grew into adolescents and were trained to fight and hate the other pride.

Tisa later died as an adolescent, fighting alongside her sisters in a battle. She tried to speak to Cheri as the life poured out of her, but died before she could make a sound.
