**Dhahabu** is an adult female golden zebra that resides in the Back Lands. She is the mother of Starehe and Raha and the leader of her own herd.

## Appearance

Dhahabu is a slenderly built peach-tan- and white-striped zebra. Her eyes are bright sky blue, with black eyebrows. She has a striped golden and white mane that curves to one side and rises above her face. The stripes on her legs are darker than the ones on her head and back. Her inner ears are pink, and her hooves are dark brown.

## Personality

Dhahabu has a kind, caring, warm and almost motherly personality, welcoming the lion guard into her Grove with open arms. She is immensely caring about the animals who stay in her Grove and always enjoys helping those who have less than what she does. Dhahabu often refers to her Visitors as dear or honey as a reflection of the mother inside her. Dhahabu is also open to taking advice from others, especially if the advice will help her grow into a better leader. Unlike most zebras, she is not always fearful and will be brave in order to grow, help others and fix her problems.

## History

### Backstory
