Sarauniya

**Sarauniya** is an adult female lioness and the second queen of Pride Rock. She is the chosen mate of Salene and the mother of Jabari and Dalji.

Originally from the Mountain Pride, Sarauniya was a normal lioness that enjoyed life. She didn't care much for royalty but still obeyed. When Salene came near the mountain pride in search of finding a mate, she was drawn to him and he to her.

However, when two rogue lions killed Salene and took over the pride, Sarauniya mated with both to hopefully keep the rest of her of pride safe, including her daughter, unaware they had mated with the other lionesses. She eventually gave birth to Ajani and Amiri in her first litter and little Aina, in her second litter due to issues trying to conceive.

## Character

### Appearance

Sarauniya is an albino lioness with a lovely set of blue eyes, which originally drew Salene to her. She has a black tail tuft and a dark brown nose.

### Personality

Sarauniya is very kind, caring and understanding. She also allowed things to happen on its own. She is a firm and strong mother and mate and doesn't let anyone push her around just because she's female and queen. She is able to prove that she is a good queen.

When Jelani and Kariuki take over and kill her mate, her emotions are a little crazy, but she pushes herself to be strong for the rest of her pride and stay strong for her son, who was sent away by Njeri to get strong and one day return as the true king.

She tries her hardest to keep her pride sisters safe, and willingly mates with the brothers to try to keep her sisters safe, not knowing the males mated with each of them all already.

## Background

Sarauniya was born in the Mountain Pride. Not much else is known about her past other than that. She is with her pride when a newcomer arrives and she is immediately drawn to him.
