Badru

...

Badru means full moon. His mother Nuru, the pride seer, chose this name for its symbolism. She had met his father under a full moon, conceived him during a full moon, and even predicted he would be born under the rare blue moon. He was born the night of the second new moon that occurred in December. She wanted to instill in him growth and maximum energy like that of the full moon after the waning period of the moon cycle. Like the full moon, she hopes he would be bright even in darkness and would reflect the light of others on those that need it most- perhaps those lost to the dark. While he is unsure of all of the symbolism behind his name, it is reassuring to think his mother thinks so highly of him and his capabilities.
