Red

Red is the daughter of two unknown lions, and the enemy of Maziwa. She was the one to kill Maziwa's family and to take over his pride.

General Info
A long time ago, Red was said to be the mate of Huzunga, the father of Maziwa. However, the king himself fell in love with another lioness, leaving Red behind, and her ambitions to grow.

When she was a adult, she declared war against Huzunga's pride, and threatened to kill everyone. She and her small pride were no match against the large pride of Huzunga's, but she did kill the one who caused all her troubles, Huzunga's new mate.

Soon enough, she returned, this time burning with anger. It was then that she attacked and killed Huzunga, leaving her in charge of the pride. She and her pride killed nearly every cub, only sparing females, and they managed to let Maziwa get away.

In the meantime, Red became insane with the power of ruling a pride of her own. However, she did manage to find true love, a lion named Samoria. Samoria and Red had one cub, who she dubbed a failure. She was a complete copy of Red herself, the only difference being her black smudge across her face. Depsite this, Red still considered the cub useless, and fed her to a group of rogues, who were actually Maziwa's sub males. Luckily, none of the males had the heart to kill the newborn, and they took her to the king himself.

Once Red learned of Maziwa's escapades, she and her pride attacked them. However, Maziwa was able to make the others believe that fighting was useless, causing them to betray their queen. Red attacked once more, but this time, she missed, tumbling down a cliff and meeting her fate.

No one ever dares to speak Red's name in front of Maziwa. They did keep Red daughter, however, whom they named after her.
