Appearance:

Sitara is a lovely silver lioness with striking icy eyes. Her legs and tail were all muddy brown half way up as if she was dropped in a mud puddle as a cub and it stuck permanently. Her body was lean, built over many cycles of hunting and sparring with her sister when she was bored and restless with her Shaman duties. Her icy blue eyes ranged from grey storm clouds to clear ice over a lake, pale blue and cold. 

Personality: 

Cold and cut-off, over-protective of her sister, the Ice Queen. These often refer to Sitara as she struggles to adjust to trusting other lions again after their rough start. Her aggression faded over time and was replaced with ice-cold walls, often deturing others from scaling them. Despite these tendencies, Sitara yearns for friends and love but she refuses to let anything hurt her or her sister again. 

Lately she had found herself rather lonely as she struggles to settle into life with a Pride that actually cared for eachother and has finally approached the time in life where she is stable and is ready to confront her trauma. She was terrified of the savage beast she had become and refuses to let her find the light of day again, but will facing her fears invoke her again? 

History:

Having started under the abusive pressure of her father, life for both Sitara and Keahi was rough. As the elder of the two, Sitara's protective streak drove her to always fight back. She always put herself in the cruel king's path when he went after Keahi and often took what she could before he moved onto the next. When that monster who starved his pride and took everything for himself killed their mother as adolescents; Sitara was more concerned about her sister who had attacked the Cruel King and both were damaged heavily as Keahi lay there bleeding from a nasty clawmark on her neck.

 If it wasn't for the rampage of a wandering nearby elephant, it would have been worse. She didn't know where it came from but suddenly their world around them thundered and shook as the most horrifying sound echoes through the land. An elephant just rampaged in on the large male lion attacking the youths and trampled him into the dust while Sitara pulled Keahi away. They left promptly and the Shaman gave Sitara a brief lesson during a hurried visit about wound care for her sister. This sparked the adolescent's interest in the healing arts and over her sister's recovery, it only intensified as they searched for a new pride. 

It took a little time but they eventually stumbled on Chekundu who took them in and began the healing process, appalled by the tales the two females spoke of their birth home. It is not unknown how protective she continues to be over her sister though their time with the pride as and Adolescent and young adult seems to have soothed her rampant aggression.

Sitara found peace in the healing and spiritual tasks of a Shaman and dove head-first into learning. The rest of her life up until this point had been all about learning and achieving the Shaman title, dedicated to her sister and the healing heart that grew in a world of darkness and pain.
