## History

Ãnanda was born at the Tree of Life to King Consort Hekima and Queen Janna. Growing up, Ãnanda was loved and adored by her family and kingdom. Ãnanda was happy that she would succeed her mother as Queen, though it did make her nervous at times. She liked to spend time with her grand aunt Nakshi. However, since Ãnanda was the only cub in the Pride (and most of the other inhabitants didn’t have any offspring around her age), Ãnanda always found herself alone. Hekima and Janna would have another cub, Surak. Ãnanda adored her younger brother, and was a bit protective of him. One day, a pair of orphan cubs, Sãhasí and Nirmala, were found at the borders. They had been rogues all their lives with their parents, who had drowned after falling into the ice. Sãhasí was about Ãnanda’s age, while Nirmala was Surak’s. Immediately, the pride helped to raise the cubs. Sãhasí and Ãnanda would enjoy playing with each other and exploring the Tree of Life.

When Sãhasí and Ãnanda were young adults, they become mates after falling in love as teenagers. Hekima had passed away and Janna stepped down, giving the throne to Sãhasí and Ãnanda. They ruled for a while before having cubs. They had one litter, a girl and boy named Rani and Baliyo. The whole Pride was happy with the new cubs. Ãnanda would encourage Surak and Nirmala to start their relationship with each other. One day, a group of nomad birds asked Ãnanda, when she was out on patrol, to live at the Tree of Life. Ãnanda had heard recent stories of a group of birds who roamed around and would attempt to attack Royals just for fun, and so she refused, believing that they were dangerous and doing this to ensure the safety of her subjects. The birds didn’t take this lightly. When morning came, the birds threw sticks with fire on them, attempting to destroy the kingdom. Sãhasí and Ãnanda went to protect their kingdom by putting out the fires. They succeeded, but the fires were too much and overwhelmed them, killing the king and queen.
