Usiku (SpearmintTB)

Usiku is a female melanistic {black} leopard who resides in the Back Lands.
Backstory:
She once lived in the same area Makucha came from, but she ended up in the Back Lands while running away to escape mistreatment from her father and older brother due to her unusual appearance. Shortly after arriving there, she was found by another leopard named Badili. She showed submission towards him, in hopes that he won't attack, but instead of doing the latter, he offered her a place to rest, having noticed she was tired from running. Relieved, Usiku accepted, and Badili led her to his territory in Mirihi Forest.
Usiku and Badili parted ways the following day, and Usiku silently hoped she'd see her new friend again. Later on in the day, she was hunting a hyrax that was, unbeknownst to her, was also being stalked by a leopard named Mapigano. She wasn't aware of his presence until she caught the hyrax and he attacked her for "stealing his lunch" Usiku tried to defend herself, telling him that she was quick enough to catch the hyrax while he was too slow. Angered, Mapigano went to attack her again and pinned her to the ground, but before he could do her any harm, Badili showed up and chases him away.
Usiku bashfully thanked Badili for saving her, and the two leopards became good friends.
Trivia:
~ Her name means "night" in Swahili.
~ She has a crush on Badili
~ She misses her family greatly, even her father and older brother, despite the bullying she received from them.
