Name: Desertwind
Age: 46 moons
Pride:Sunpride
Gender:male
Rank:Lion
Appearance:^look up there. Sandy orange lion with a light muzzle. His fur has a definite sheen, so in sunsetlight he often glows with the deep red hue of desert sand. He's somewhat noble looking, with a mane that becomes almost black near his shoulders. This black changes to his shorter fur and runs down the length of his back in a thin stripe before it fades out nearby his tail. His tail is topped with a black, silky tuft. He has long, white whiskers and a dappled muzzle, with a coarse-haired chin. He also has white markings under his eyes, which give him an intelligent expression. He doesn't look nice, precisely-- just indifferent. He's very large; one of the largest lions in the Pride. His eyes are dark, amberey orange, almost red.
Personality: Desertwind is a lion with a definite sense of duty of what is right and wrong. He's very calm, but he is somewhat aggressive, and believes he commands great respect. He's still fairly young, but younger lions he tends to boss around and cuff, though he's more gentle with cubs and younger Learners. He's very respectful to those that are higher in rank then him, and he expects the same courtesy to be given to him, which doesn't always happen. He sticks like a leaf to the Warrior Code if there is one, and single-pawedly works to keep order in the Pride and everyone in line. He's very happy with what he's doing. He does, however, have an extreme dislike for cheetahs, and will become incredibly nasty around them.
History: Desertwind was born into a litter of three other cubs. He was the firstborn of the litter. The other two cubs were named Sandcub and Windcub. He loved his two sisters very much for the next few moons, and he still kept very much in touch with them while they were Lerners. Sandcub/paw was killed by a wildabeast at the watering hole, and Desertwind grieved for weeks. Finally he got over her death and went on bravely with life. Desertwind was given to a grouchy lion, almost an Elder, named Grasstail, to be Learned. His was surprised to be given such a considerate, polite lion to be Learned, and they got along very well afterwords which other members of the Pride didn't really understand. Grasstail had actually been extremely clever when he was a younger lion, and he was an excellent teacher to Desertwind who absorbed everything the old lion taught him. However, one day he was hunting with his sister Windpaw when a huge, powerful cheetah leapt out of a tree onto Windpaw's back. Windpaw yowled in fright and tried to get the cheetah off, but the spotted feline buried his jaws in the lioness's throat before she had much time to react. Desertwind cried out in rage and pulled the cheetah off, killed him in a blinding fury, then dragged her back to camp, still bleeding. The (um... Healer? Need a word here) tried their best to patch up Windpaw's throat, but she's already bled too much and she died. Desertwind asked for his own name to honor the sister he'd respected and loved so much, and he became Desertwind about a moon later. He has an extreme agressiveness towards cheetahs since.
RP example: No.

Extra: We need a word for the med. cat. I like Healer-- it goes with Learner and Leader and stuff. What do you think?
