Nyembaba

Nyembaba is a lion and a member of the Moyo Hodari Pride.
== Appearance ==
=== Cub ===
A scrawny cub with very little muscle or fat on his body, Nyembaba has a short and angular build. His fur is a dark brownish hue, though somewhat lighter than his coat color as an adult. His thin legs bear dark chocolate brown cub spots, still prominent due to his youth. He has tiny, deep-set eyes, deep amber in color. His nose is pink, and the tuft at the end of his tail is taupe.
=== Adult ===
Nyembaba is a skinny lion, narrow in every way. The contours of his face are sharp and angled, and his eyes are set closely together. His fur is a dark brass color, paler on his muzzle and underbelly. He has narrow, spindly legs. His small eyes are dark amber, almost brown but not quite. He has a dark pink nose. His mane, which is shaped similar to that of his father Nguruma's, is taupe, as is the tuft at the end of his tail.
== Personality ==
===Cub===
A quiet and evasive cub, Nyembaba prefers to stay out of the action. He speaks indirectly if at all, and rarely engages in playtime activities with the other cubs. However, he quite enjoys the process of stalking, and will heed any advice that helps him perfect his talents, even if it means conversing with other cubs. But if he is learning a skill that he does not enjoy, he can be stubborn and resistant to being taught. He is unambitious and has no desire to lead, preferring to follow along. He is very difficult to anger, and is very controlled.
===Adult===
Solitary and aloof, Nyembaba always seems detached from the rest of the pride. He seldom speaks and keeps to himself, edging away if he feels uncomfortable with his proximity to a pridemate. He always drags his portion of food away from the hill where the rest of the pride eats and sleeps, preferring to dine alone and undisturbed. He is prone to odd instances of aggression if he is touched or if a lion leans too close to him. Strangely, he developed a strong desire to lead his own life, when as a cub he lacked any sort of ambition. He is very unsentimental and is rarely moved.
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Nyembaba was born into the pride. He never socialized much with the other cubs in the pride, despite the encouragement of his mother Ntulivu and father Nguruma.
=== Strength of Heart ===
Chekesha calls out a greeting to Nyembaba, and he dips his head in response. He does not approach, as he is concentrating on stalking practice. Later on, Nyembaba plays with the other cubs.
=== Later Life ===
Nyembaba leaves the pride as an adult, feeling that it is not the life for him. He exits the Drylands and travels elsewhere, without the company of others.
