Kujenga

"Kujenga is a member of the mysterious and rarely met species of the lions that are mostly considered as a mere myth, the Lioelves. Like all lioelves, Kujenga looks pretty young, nearly as young as adolescent lioness, but is truthfully but she is in fact centuries, perhaps even thousands of years old. Despite that, as an Lioelf, the age has no effect in her physically. However, that doesn't mean that she is physically invulnerable, which is proven by her facial scars and the missing chunk of her right ear.  Kujenga is enchantingly beautiful with her blue diamond-eyes and her bluish-black hair-like mane that often shines like the brightest stars when it touches the light. Her beauty is said to be able to charm and melt the heart of even the most hardcored mortal animal. Kujenga used to live in from the Mortal World hidden Enchanted Forest, but for unknown reasons, she decided to leave there and set to live in the Mortal Realm."Kujenga has a deep affection and love towards anything around her that is beautiful: the nature, flowers, leaves, trees and even some animals. She prefers mostly to stay hidden from the Mortals eyes, but she may sometimes reveal herself to the Mortals if she deems them to either trustworthy to keep her secret (and if they are not, Kujenga will use her magical abilities to wipe out their memories of her from their heads) or unwanted outcasts who need help but have no one else to help them. Because of her long-livety, Kujenga is well-learned and is very wise, always knowing what to do to help the ones in need or give them the words of ancient wisdom to help them fare better in life. She is also an excellent healer, using both the healing natural products and magical efforts to heal both sick, weak or severely injured animals."Kujenga also possesses an magical ability of her own, which is the shape-shifting. She's capable to change her lioelf-form into the form of any animal, depending of the situation and the need. She usually uses her shape-shifting ability as a way of infiltration and move among the Mortals undetected and as a way of self-defense if she finds herself threatened. Her known alternate animal shapes are eagle, cougar, caracal, leopard, clouded leopard, cheetah, drongo, tigress, black panther, mare horse, dog(dalmatian) and many others. Kujenga has also an ability to send a healing energy wave on the move by focusing deep to it and gently pressing her paw to the ground, sending the golden vibration waves that move along the earth's surface like along the water surface, filling everything dead and old around her with the new burst of life of energy and turning all of it back to healthy and beautiful colors."Kujenga loves peace and is mostly a devoted supporter of peace, but there are sometimes the moments when Kujenga finds herself in the situations where she is forced to use the raw force. Whenever someone is in trouble, such of which cannot be solved via simply talking, Kujenga won't hesitate to rise her paw and fight for someone in the need of help. An idea of fighting and harming other living creatures weights Kujenga's heart and soul with nearly unbearable misery, guilt, remorse and shame, even if she knows that the situation has gone beyond of reasoning and that fighting and harming is necessary. Kujenga is very experienced and well-learned fighter, using her species' unnatural agility and swiftness and for centuries trained and practiced elegant fighting techniques against her opponents, and having never lost any battle she has fought before. Kujenga will fight in three ways alternately, depending on the situation: she fights most usually in her real form, but if her enemy is much bigger and stronger than she is, she will even the odds by changing her form into an animal which can put a match to the species her opponent is. If the enemy is too powerful for her to defeat with the physical raw force or outnumbers her with 10 to 1, Kujenga will use her species' magical bond to the nature (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water) and use it as a powerful and unmatchable weapon against her enemies. Her fighting style proves that Kujenga is both calm, confident, patient and calculating. She won't foolishly rush head-on into the battle but will always try to prevent the fight from happening by trying to speak reason with her opponent. She only uses the violence as the last result and holds strictly from the boundaries in the using violence, not wanting to go too far to actually killing someone."Despite the chances for studying the Lioelves and their abilities are so rare, there have been the cases where the lioelves have been able to save the Mortals from the brinks of the certain death (either from the fatal injury or even poisoning which is too late to be cured) by giving up a portion of their own lives to them. As it is said, the felines have nine lives, but the Lioelves are said to literally have 90 lives throughout of their own lifetime, one of which they can willingly - note, only by their own free will - to give to the Mortal, who is in an emergency, to save his/her life from the brink of death. Many Lioelves aren't that willing to give up their lives for the Mortals, with the exceptions in some cases where the Lioelves have made friends with the Mortals and are thus willing to save their lives. Kujenga belongs to amongst of those few Lioelves, who have made friends with some trustworthy Mortals and can sometimes go selflessly so far to give up a noticeable amount of her own lives to save a large number of animals (dear friends of hers) from immident danger. However, there is the price of such of generocity, because the more of their lives the Lioelves give away, they will lose their own longevity piece by piece, and cannot regain the life they've given away ever again. If the individual Lioelf has run out of the lives, he/she will be reverted into a mere Mortal being with the Lioelves' features, thus he/she cannot be considered as a real Lioelves anymore. Such of Lioelves will be stripped from their magical abilities and access to their home in the Enchanted Forest, left stranded to the Mortal Realm forever until they themselves will die. That's why Kujenga, and many other Lioelves, are very frugal towards their precious lives and do not give them away out of random to any Mortals. That may make the Lioelves a pretty picky with the Mortals in that case."
