Female

Species :
Lioness

Pridelander

Rank :
Cubsitter

History :
Ila was run out of her own pride because of her coloration. But not because her pride didn't like her being brown. Because the pride's old, evil alpha was her color, and because she was brown they automatically attributed her to being A)his daughter and, B)evil like he was. So she, after a fight, was run out of her pride and came to the Pridelands, where she was accepted. Because of this she's feircly loyal to Scar, and will do anything for him.

Personality :
Ila is feircly loyal to Scar, and whatever he says she'll beleive. She loves cubs, making her perfect for a cubsitter. She is also prejudice against the Pridelander females because they do not like Scar. But she simply tries to ignore them, thinking that they just don't understand. She's heard stories of the death of Mufasa and Simba, and feels sorry for them but sticks with Scar. After all, since both the original King and his son died, its obvious that Scar would take his place as King. But just because she's extremely loyal to her king doesn't mean she's evil. After all, the Pridelander lionesses could be seen as evil from an "Outlander's" point of veiw. She's a nice lioness, but she's very loyal to Scar. And just like any loyal lioness, she will fight for him. Is she evil? No. After all, just because someone doesn't hold your veiw, doesn't make them evil.

Prominent Trait :
Ila's loyalty is her prominent trait. She's extremely loyal to Scar and will do anything for him and beleive whatever he says. Her other trait is also her love of cubs, and her gentleness with them.

Fears :
Letting her King down by something happening to the cubs she watches. She lives for the cubs, and she would hate for something to happen to them. She also fears her pride coming to finish what they'd begun.

Goals :
To gain Scar's absolute trust, and maybe rise up in rank. Because, even though she loves cubs, she wants to do something like being a hunter or a warrior, or something. She doesn't want to spend her entire life looking after cubs, no matter how much she loves them.

Character Development :
Ila's prejudice towards the Pridelander females will grow, until at the turning point when Scar falls, when she will go to the Outlands, furious that Scar was killed and certian that Simba is an evil usurping murderer who needs to be dealt with.

Description :
Ila is known as "Ila" (Birthmark in Swahili) for a reason. She's dark brown, with a tan underbelly and toetips. Her name comes from a brown stripe that she has under her left eye. Her eyes are green, and she has a tuft of fur on her head, similar to Vitani's. Two scars criss-cross on her shoulder, and she does have the typical "Outlander" nose, like Scar.

Markings :
Her most prominent marking is the dark brown stripe under her left eye, which gives her her name of Ila. And the scars that criss-cross on her right shoulder.
