== Temperament and traits ==
Ukweli Pride members present themselves as calm, level-headed, and full of wisdom and integrity. They treat others with heavy amounts of respect, even with their isolation, and rely on each other to survive. Tasks are divided between lionesses by several factors, such as age or birth season; hunting skill is prized among the pride, and those who are tactical and kill prey humanely and efficiently earn high honors. Hunters give up their prey to feed family and friends, and in return, is given prey by another hunter to eat. Members of the Ukweli Pride are also known to be avid collectors of tokens like shells and stones and have extensive knowledge of herbs and medicine.
Unlike most other prides, the Ukweli Pride are animists, considering the world and nature itself to be full of spirits, with members believing that malevolent spirits come in the form of antagonists, poor hunting, or sickness. One known spirit to the pride is the weather spirit, known as Hali ya Hewa. The older members of the pride are closely intertwined with spirits that appear in their dreams. For certain events and rituals, Ukweli Pride members will adorn flowers, feathers, or paint created from fruit on their face, which is done to communicate with spirits and apparitions and appear presentable to them. Members are also taught to sing for rituals for a young age.
As the Ukweli Pride primarily hunts and gathers, they have much free time left other to build social bonds and tend to other matters around the South Lands. Visitation with other leaders is of great importance to the pride, as is attending ceremonies across different lands; not doing so is frowned upon. Since the pride is female-only, members will mate with one male outside the pride one time to bear cubs; if one of the cubs is a male, he stays with the pride until adulthood, where he leaves to find likeminded males his age. Females stay with the pride for life and bond with the mothers and spirits they are surrounded with after birth. Births are cherished in the Ukweli Pride and are celebrated with special ceremonies and feasts. When a member dies, the same ceremony and feast is held, and memories are shared of the deceased lioness' life before she joins the spirits.
