TLG: happy ever after

List of my OCs + thank you

Hi, guys! This isn't a 'chapter' chapter, but an update nonetheless ;)

I've created so many original characters it's probably best to list them so that none of you get confused ;) I think I've described them (or at least most of them) already, so this is more of an overview than introduction.

Btw, Wattpad stats ('demographics') show me that the story has 4 active readers from Africa, so if any of you (or any other reader) speak Swahili, feel welcome to point out mistakes in the names! I used 2 different translators but still can't be sure if there're any errors. Speaking of continents, South America is the only one where my book has NO readers, but we'll get there ;)

Moto (meaning 'fire')

· Species: lion

· Leader of The Night Pride at the time of Rani's cubhood

· Large, physically strong, fiery personality; deeply cared about the safety of The Tree of Life

· Surak's mentor during the prince's first months of training

· Defended the kingdom against the first tigers' attack, but couldn't save the king and queen

· Died due to the wounds sustained in the battle and his inability to cope with all the loss and guilt

Kuruka (meaning 'swift')

· Species: lion

· Member of The Night Pride at the time of Rani's cubhood

· Very fast, dexterous, agile; dedicated his life to protecting his home

· Surak's mentor during the prince's first months of training

· Defended the kingdom against the first tigers' attack, but couldn't save the king and queen

· The last lion in the kingdom to see Muuaji alive

· Died due to the consequences of his one-on-one fight with the tiger

Kifo/Tukufu ('death'/'glorious')

· Species: tiger

· Large white-furred body with black stripes; red eyes, long fangs, massive jaws

· Arrogant, self-important, rude, sadistic; a tyrant, a cold-blooded murderer, pure evil

· Warlord of the tigers; wants to take over The Tree of Life to fulfil his life-long ambition

· Killed Rani and Baliyo's parents during his first attack, yet was forced to retreat due to the sustained injuries and the lack of back-up

· His fight with Sahasi proved the tiger wasn't immortal, so he's much more cautious, careful and hesitant now; secretly terrified of dying

Muuaji ('murderer')

· Species: tiger

· The only survivor of Tukufu's old army

· Violent, neurotic, crazy; murdering others makes him feel powerful

· During the first tigers' attack targeted an antelope herd to distract The Night Pride; personally responsible for the deaths of dozens of the herbivores, mortally wounded Kuruka

· The rest of his team (his brothers) didn't survive, so he's come back to avenge them; since then his only motivation has been to kill Surak (and everyone who tries to stop him in doing so)

· The obsession with the idea of revenge caused him to act against Tukufu's will and go rogue, deserting the tiger army the very day their attack had been planned on.
