Thema

**Thema** is an adult female lioness and the **Queen of Pride Rock** in *The New Legacy 6: Thema's Rule*.

She is the only daughter of the infamous Queen Vita and her former mate, Dage. She is the mate of Jatau, mother of Mufasa and Kwatile, and stepmother of Chidimma. She is also the grandmother of Simba, Amira, and Akia.

## Characteristics

### Personality & traits

Thema is very much like her mother, Vita, in terms of personality. Thema is a firm lioness who tries to get both sides of a story before deciding what to do. She tries to be fair and give everyone a fair chance even if someone says someone does not deserve a second chance.

As a young lioness, Thema was very curious about the world and didn't want to become queen. But since she was her mother's only child, she had no choice. Afraid to go through what her mother and grandparents did, Thema made a rule for herself not to fall in love until she became queen.

As a mother, she is kind, loving, caring, understanding, and patient. Thema's motherhood personality merges with her queen personality and uses it to help her rule. As she is the true ruler being Vita's blood child, she still lets Jatau input his thoughts showing she gives others equal input.

### Physical appearance

In terms of coloration, Thema inherited her color from her great-grandmother, Tashiya. She is a slim and lean lioness with a pale grey-tan colored pelt, with a light tan muzzle, underbelly, and paws and inside her back thighs. Her eye shading is darker on top while the bottom is the same color as her muzzle. She also has a dark reddish-brown tail tuft and pale, blue eyes.

## History

### *Pre-series*

Thema is the only daughter of Queen Vita and King Consort Dage and is Abasi and Zalika's only grandchild. Thema knows nothing about her father since Dage was exiled from the Pride Lands before her mother knew she was even pregnant.

Because she was Vita's only child, Thema was next in line to become queen, though she didn't want to and wished she had siblings, she did understand what her mother went through.
