Alin

"There's so much I need to prove... so much I need to show I'm not afraid of."

He's a more recent arrival to the pride - after spending some time as a Nomad, he's back and hoping to learn about the world while seeing what life is like in this amazing place. Alin's a quiet fellow, an observant lion who sees a lot and calmly speaks what he thinks. While he's often quite scared of new things, he's been pushing forwards anyway. He's got a whole family out there, and he wants to prove himself to all of them, thank them all for the kindness they've given him over the years.

As of late he's found the forge of the short, stern lion Ferdinand. The colors of steel and glass and earth drew him in, and now he's been learning to forge things. Making things helps him feel like he's found purpose, and Alin will often use his element to stoke the flames and try to make something of his own. The metal and glass he shapes often looks a bit bent and worn, but over time some of his creations are showing some merit. His favorite creation is a shimmering red star made of glass. He spent weeks trying to get it right, and at last he figured it out, and made a delightful pendant. Alin wears it around his neck almost all the time now.

When he's not working with Ferdinand or visiting his family, he'll wander about the pride and take in the sights and sounds. Life is beautiful, and Alin intends to enjoy every moment of it.
