History: Lesedi primarily grew up in a loving environment, protected by her sister and family. Her twin and herself were unafraid to stand as their older sister did and shared a love of adventure and mischief that has yet to leave her, even now.
She was too young to fully understand why her grandfather was usurped, but she did understand that her mother and grandmother were being forced to do the unthinkable. She often wished she'd left with her brother and father, but leaving Inyere and the rest of her family hurt far worse. She was a cub; an exiled group of males couldn't care for her. It was probably hard to take care of Chedo, right? She'd make it harder. This further cemented her sense of responsibility.
She grew old enough to travel and with it, a chance to leave her home with her sister arose. They heard of a band of lionesses traveling nearby and decided to join. Though brief, these were good times as the sisters made their way toward the pridelands. They would encounter Zira's pride, and be forced to join, ending that peace. Though she didn't understand why her sister eventually agreed to join their pride, she agreed as well.
She couldn't leave her sister, and though she was pushed to her limits constantly to keep a place among the lionesses, she stuck through it all. The marriage to Nuka had finally seemed to turn more favorable; she could stand his company and even enjoyed talking about past adventures or mischief with him. It didn't escape her that she may be mated to someone too, so she often played up to more cub-like behaviors to seem unfit for raising any herself.
Following Nuka's death, she was to remain at her sister's side in their den with two guards as Zira's force moved on to fight Simba's pride. Zira died in the fight and the guards would move on, leaving the two alone.
The only remaining safety she knew was the den her sister was given, and so she chose to stay. Inyere would have cubs here; the grandcubs of Taka whom had been dethroned. Lesedi wasn't obligated to stay but she'd scarcely acknowledge it, choosing to do all she could for the tiny family. Besides, no matter the hardship, watching the cubs grow up was all she could want.
