Kivuli

...

Kivuli means shadow. He was born to a rather large family and was considered the runt in the family. Perhaps the name his parents chose had been their way of softly reminding him how small he was. How well he fell away into the background or behind one of his siblings limelight. But that changed. He grew quickly- not just physically, but mentally. He wasn't the biggest lion out there, but he was no longer some gangly cub. He now uses his name as a reminder of what he used to be. And what he can become- a shadow over others instead of behind them.
