Bahati was born alongside her littermates Cada and Jabir, the second litter to Cyrah and first to Mbali. She is also the younger half-sister to Kichea- although she isn't really made aware of this fact until she is much older. 

Personality:

When she is a puppy, she seems to be the most curious of the bunch compared to her littermates. Wanting to know every story she can as well as know every guest that visits their pack. Extremely playful as well.
As a young adult, Bahati still remains curious about the outside world and she does want to fully explore the savannah but she's hesitant to leave her family. She seems to not have much of a relationship with her mother anymore, especially seeing how she treats Kichea. She doesn't fully start fights with her but she can commonly be seen rolling her eyes at Cyrah's comments.      

Trivia:

• The name "Bahati" is Swahili for luck and good fortune. 
• Although the dogs don't really have a name for sexualities, she is aromantic and asexual.
