Kataka

Kataka is a female meerkat. She is a member of a colony of meerkats in the jungle.
When Kataka got attacked by an eagle, Timon saved her. Later, he reunited with her, and the two exchanged names. Over time, the two bonded and fell in love, which led Timon to abandon his friends in order to be with her. However, when the two were assigned sentry duty by Kataka's colony, Timon expressed distaste for the job and urged her to run away with him. She ultimately refused, and two got into a heated argument. They were interrupted by a snake attack, during which Timon rescued Kataka again. After the attack, Timon decided to leave the colony for good, but before he left, he gifted her with a heart-shaped stone to remember him by.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Kataka lived in the jungle as a member of a meerkat colony.
===Romance with Timon===
Kataka met Timon after he saved her from the talons of an eagle. The two separated without exchanging names, but, after searching desperately for her in order to know her name, Timon began to bond with her. Timon and Kataka stayed together for quite a while, during which time Timon abandoned his friends, Pumbaa and Simba. The couple was assigned sentry duty, but it was not Timon's definition of fun, and so he suggested that they run off together. Kataka, however, felt safe with her group and refused to leave. They argued, but when a snake attacked Kataka, Timon saved her again, and they made up. Timon gave Kataka a heart-shaped stone to remind her of him, then left to reunite with Pumbaa and Simba.
==Physical appearance==
Kataka is a tall and slender meerkat. She has tan fur, with brown hands, feet, and stripes on her back. She has teal eyes framed by long eyelashes. She wears a bright red flower in one ear.
==Personality and traits==
Kataka is innocent and prone to getting attacked by predators. She is a stickler for the rules and a homebody, as she was unwilling to leave her colony even after falling in love with Timon. Her loyalties are deep-rooted, and she appreciates the family of meerkats that protects her, such as when she vowed her service to the members of her colony after they saved her from a snake.
Despite her strong ties to family, Kataka is capable of forming bonds with others, namely Timon, a lone meerkat who stole her heart. Even though Kataka ultimately chose family over true love, she vowed to forever remember Timon through the heart-shaped stone he gave her as a goodbye present.
