As a cub, he became known for his optimistic and charitable nature, and was always willing to help any young animal. When Pwani became an adolescent, his life was changed dramatically, as his father went on a hunt and never returned, leaving him to be declared missing. Pwani grew closer to his mother, as it was now his responsibility to protect and care for her. His mother continued to instruct him for his future role as a king, and taught him how to rule with kindness and generosity. One day, Pwani's mother was bitten by a cobra, causing her blindness and agony that soon she died from. Although devastated by his mother's death, Pwani knew that he had to assume the role of king, and lead the Moshi Pride. He married Ilanga, a member of a neighboring pride, and they soon became parents to two cubs, Ayo and Marali.
