This is an older drawing that I meant to post here sooner! ...totally forgot, though. As I was getting more practice in. I actually ended up making a character that I think I'm going to use...somehow. Anyway, her name is Lelani Ayele. Ayele means "powerful" but I don't remember what Lelani means...gotta look it up. Anyway, Lelani is two halves a lion. One half is African Lion and the other is Mountain Lion...or Puma...or Cougar ^^; Her father is the African lion while her mother is the mountain lion. She's got her mother's hair and coat and her father's ears probably eyes. As for her tail...hmm...

Lelani has four brothers and as such, is very much a tomboy. Coupled with the blessing of her inherited father's size and strength (relatively. She's bigger than a cougar, but smaller than a lion) and the constant "battles" she gets into with her male siblings, she's a formidable young lady.

Anyway, her best friend is a fella named, Ja. He's fully African lion and, along with Lelani, will be attending school with Sky and Nightshade and the others :)
