History: Her father was a King, her mother had once been a nobody. Out of their coupling came their first litter of cubs. Sarabi was the first born cub between the two and was immediately considered to be the heiress of her pride and family lands. Followed shortly afterwards came her three sisters Naanda, Diku and Dwala. At the time the King Mahabi was disappointed that he had no son to name as his heir. His Queen promised they would try again when the time was right. Sarabi was groomed from early on to be a Queen, she was taught all of the royal lessons. Her father spent many hours teaching her about The Circle of Life, and how all animals belonged in the circle even those they personally did not like. She took his words to heart at a early age and her belief in the Circle never faltered.
At the same time her mother Rashida had begun teaching her sisters how to hunt. During her days off with her father she joined her mom and the other female cubs in their lessons. Around the time she was a older cub her father informed her that she was to be engaged to a male cub from another pride. His name was Enwightamala and he would be the next Prince Consort of the pride. Sarabi hated the idea of being forced into a marriage that wasn't about love and care.. but for the sake of the pride she grew to accept it.
Around the time she was a teenager her mother the Queen became pregnant with her second litter of cubs. The four older daughters spent most of their time perfecting their hunting skills. This picture perfect family was about to experience it's first tragedy. One afternoon a band of rogue males attacked the pride. Her mother and the other lionesses ran away and kept their cubs hidden. It was that day that her father Mahabi was brutally murdered by this band of rogue males.
The pride fell into darkness, everyone remained scattered away from each other. Luckily, she and her sisters were old enough to provide food for themselves and their pregnant mother. They remained in hiding for what felt like forever. Eventually word got to them that the males had taken most of the pride and had killed all of the young lions of the previous generation. The pride lionesses were already mating with these strangers and all seemed lost for the royal family.
It was around this time that her mother Rashida gave birth to her second litter of cubs. Two little girls and one little boy. Seeing the baby boy broke Rashida's heart for she knew how badly Mahabi had wanted a son. The three tiny lions were named Sauda, Hasira, and the baby boy was named Oskarbi. The teenagers were busy keeping their mother fed as well as keeping them safe from the rogue males.
When the cubs were strong enough to travel the small family group left their home lands for a home that unknown to them. Rashida wanted to give her cubs the best chance of survival and a new pride might just be enough. They traveled for days, so many days until they arrived at a massive kingdom known as the Pride Lands. It didn't take long for them to get the attention of the reigning royal family.
Rashida begged for their help and support and immediately she got it. The pride was in a desperate state and needed new lionesses to join. The Queen Uru saw them as a blessing to her pride. Even the young cubs were accepted including Oskarbi. Sarabi and her sisters tried hard to become part of the pride, folding themselves in and doing what they could to help out.
She caught the attention of both princes of the kingdom. Both were in need of a mate, and so it came to pass that she was engaged to Prince Mufasa. Soon enough she had become the reigning Queen of the Pride Lands, and a new chapter in her life began. Soon she became pregnant and gave birth to one solitary cub a baby boy who was named Simba. The next King of the Pride Lands. Her life became consumed with her Queenly duties and mother hood which was why she never saw the devious plans her brother in law was plotting with the hyena clan.
Right before Mufasa died she became pregnant yet again. With the sudden death of her King and son it was all she really had to hold onto anymore. Sarabi gave birth to two little girls a few months later who she lovingly named Lulanti and Kaya. They became her sole purpose for surviving. The reason to keep going.
