Neema

Neema the Leopard (grace)
A leopard cub from the northern grasslands driven from territory after territory after being separated from her mother. Her name is taken from the google translate (swahili) word for Grace.

Appearence
You're typical leopard spots wise with pointy ears filled in with black fur.

Background
When Neema was born she had one sister and a brother. When they were old enough to walk her mother took them to a safe place where they could hunt lazily and eat bountifully. The mother thought the three how to hunt, climb, and even how to fight.

When the time came for them to hunt Neema volunteered to go first. she upset a pack of impala who began fleeing in different directions. She managed to catch a baby impala while avoiding being trampled. neema's sister was caught in the rush of hooves and was injured and then died from her injury. For a while the family mourned the loss of the sister but they continued to live their lives.

About 2 weeks later they wake up one morning to find strange creatures, walking on two legs holding sharp sticks, walking through their territory. Neema's mother begins arranging for them to move to a different hiding place but they leopards are spotted and are chased by the strange creatures. Her mother draws the attention of the two leg creatures while the two children escape. Neema and her brother are separated.

After being chased out of multiple places she finds herself in the pridelands.

Neema worn out from running collapses inside the borders of the pridelands where she is seen by Ono. Ono then leads the lion guard to neema and they take her to rafiki. At first all seems well but then animals begin to gossip. things go from bad to worse as she is blamed for things she didn't do until Kion has no chose but to drive her into the outlands.

in the outlands Neema has at first given up on life because she feels like nobody wants her around, but when Janja offers her some help in exchange for some assistance dealing with the lion guard she finds something worth living for again. After struggling with the outlanders life style Neema realizes the hyena aren't just causing problems in the pridelands for the fun of it but because they are nearly starved to death from lack of food in the outlands. She works to find a way to resolve this issue by explaining to Kion how his actions are upsetting the circle by making the hyena's go hungry.

After resolving this issue there is a time skip to teen years where i begin with the assumption that lion king 2: simba's pride was at some point going to happen. I'm still writing this all out but so far i have Neema kind of leading the outlanders keeping the peace and such. and having the outlanders invited to the savannah sumit.

(this story is still ongoing though i did mark it as complete on watt pad. the reason for this is because more people can find it if you mark it as finished.)
