## Appearance

## Personality

Dotty is kind and smart. She is a great fighter and a lioness of great wit and skills. Dotty can also have a bit of a temper and blow things out of proportion. She also hated her birth name “Ibala” and chose to go by Dotty. After Nuka’s death, she become a bit more withdraw, however with Vitani and Naba’s help, she became like her old self once again, her loyalty now lying with the Royal Family.

## History

Ibala was born to the rogue Jambazi and Pride Lander Jincha, alongside her twin sister Madoa during the mid-end of Scar’s Reign. Jambazi was a rogue that was notorious for lingering around the borders of the Pride Lands, however the hyenas never could seem to catch him. Jincha was the daughter of Ahadi and Hadiya, and Scar didn’t really bother with her. Ibala and Madoa grew up alongside Nuka. Nuka was the youngest of Scar’s cubs. He would usually play with Ibala, as his sister would play with the hyaena cubs, while all of Scar’s other daughters were older. Nuka and Ibala were good friends, though Nuka did get on Ibala’s nerves at times. It was also around this time that Ibala stopped calling herself Ibala, and went by ‘Dotty’, with her sister going by ‘Spotty’ and everyone lion agreed to call her that. When Simba returned, Dotty was glad that life could be a better now. Nuka and Dotty still chose to hang out together, and sometimes Simba’s son Kopa would tag along. However, after Kopa’s ‘death’ (which Zira has claimed she killed him, even though she didn’t have any involvement), Simba banished Zira and her followers to the Out Lands. Jincha joined them, as she had always viewed Zira as family, while Spotty joined as she wanted her daughter, Shabaha, to be raised with her half sisters. Dotty decided to join, for Nuka and her family.

The next few seasons were training and training, for everyone and Kovu, for the war that would happen. Dotty wasn’t really recognised by Zira that much. When Vitani and Kovu got older, Nuka and Dotty stared to spend more time together. One day, a few months before Kovu’s mission, Zira came up to Dotty to ask why she wanted to talk to a ‘flea bag’ like Nuka.

”I love your son, Zira. Nuka is special to me. He means the world to me. I would kill the whole of Simba’s Pride single-handily just for Nuka.”

From then on, Zira took more interest in Dotty, seeing her as a stronger lioness, and joining her higher ranks with lionesses such as Majira and Xolo. Dotty didn’t really care about this, only for Nuka. Nuka and Dotty official became mates the night before Kovu’s mission. Dotty hoped that, when they were in the Pride Lands, they could have a litter. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned. Kovu ends up joining Simba’s pride, and during Simba’s ambush and escape, Nuka jumps in to prove to his mother that he is special. Dotty was horrified as she watched her mate climb, thoughts racing in her mind.

*“Nuka, don’t! This isn’t worth it! Please-“*

And just like that, Nuka was dead. Dying just after being crushed by logs. Dotty refuses to leave his body, however Zira manages to convince her that they need to avenge Nuka, and get rid of Kovu. Dotty agrees. When Zira is willing to kill her own daughter Vitani, Dotty realises that this War wasn’t needed. Dotty knows that Nuka wouldn’t want to live in a world like this, so she is one of the first to leave Zira’s group. In the Pride Lands, everyone comforts her about Nuka’s death. Perhaps she could focus on her life now. When she discovers that she is pregnant with her dead mate’s cubs, the ex-outsiders that are happy. Dotty has mixed emotions though. She is happy that she will be having Nuka’s cubs, but sad that their father won’t watch them grow up. Some members of the pride (such as Fursa and Kaidi), whisper about the cubs, as they are one of the only few to be born of one of Scar’s sons. Dotty decides to give birth alone, and she births two little girls. She names them Nukta and Tunuka, in honour of her deceased mate. The pride, especially Kovu, Vitani, Kiara and Naba, helped Dotty. Dotty decides to lay her loyalty to the Royal Family. She hopes that she and her daughters can all live in peace now.

Oh, how wrong she is…
