Tizita and Tafari

NOTE: these two are placed together in one character page as they are seldom ever seen apart from each other. They are two sides of the same coin.

Backstory:
These two lions are nothing but trouble. The twins roam the lands causing nothing but hijinks and instability where ever they go. Having spent their whole lives wandering and on the move, they both firmly believe that large "proper" prides are overrated, outdated and overrun with rules and religion. Why worship a king, eat his scraps and produce heirs endlessly when you could just stick together a small family unit and move with the antelope and the rains.
This lack of respect or care for traditional lion prides often results with the two wandering into someone's territory, breaking unwritten rules and upending the ways of the area. At first it was purely accident when the twins were young, but as they grew older and continued to not be welcome in prides they started to fall into chaos of it all and purposeful step on peoples paws. If they can work together to cause a harmless inconvenience to a lion other than themselves, they will. And they will watch and laugh and bond over it together from a distance.

Personalities:
Tizita and Tafari like to put up an act for strangers. They try to come across as cunning, superior, mysterious and confident. They want other lions to invite them in out of curiosity so that the two can perform all sorts of pranks and tricks on the unsuspecting for their own entertainment. Despite being little tricksters they dont want others to be so threatened by them that they would get into brutal fights, especially as the two of them wouldn't be able to take on a large pride. In reality, the two struggle with feelings of abandonment and insecurity. Tafari sometimes quietly thinks to himself that being part of a pride or having permanent friends might be nice, but he dare not share those thoughts with his sister Tizita. Tizita does a better job at appearing less sensitive compared to her brother, but she also sometimes wonders what life would be like living in a pride, where she could feel safe and supported by many. They are both pretty terrible at speaking their true thoughts, especially as brother and sister. They've held up so many barriers for so long its started to affect their extremely close connection otherwise.

Appearance:
Tizita and Tafari are twins but not indicial twins. Their coat patterns and colours are identical but their builds are slightly different. Tizita has a sharp "outsider" style nose while Tafari has a rounder "pride lands" style nose. Tizita's eyes are green while Tafari's are a redish-brown. Tizita has scratch scars on the back of her neck and a chunk missing from her right ear. Tafari has scratch scars across his nose and his left arm. Despite Tafari being the younger sibling (only by a couple of hours) he is slightly taller and bulkier than Tizita.
