Name:
Kifalme
It means hunter in Swahili and since he's based off of a cheetah I thought it would be fitting

Which African tribe did he come from?:
He came from the Swahili tribe located in Kenya, for generations his family has lived with them and after watching and waiting he is now the guardian of his village with a royal bloodline. Even though he has had many chances to leave his wild spirit will always belong in Kenya.

What African custom/tradition does he always follow?:
Like many of the other males in his tribe he loves woodworking. Kifalme spends his days whittling and carving, one of his favorite crafts being miniature boats. Young children often use his boats to play with when they have free time. Being able to use his skills to make others happy just adds to the enjoyment of his craft.As far as other customs and traditions he sticks to them and enjoys them with all his heart.

Name:
Simba- African Swahili meaning Lion
Which African tribe did he come from?:
He came from the Fang Tribe. He loved that culture and traditions of the Fang. Simba thought it was very interesting.
What African custom/tradition does he always follow?:
He always carries a small box on his tail that contains interesting items of his ancestors, or just interesting he finds that catch his eyes. A small, wooden figured that he carved himself is attached to the box by a string. While he doesn't the follow the tradition as it should be(the fang people carry around boxes with small wooden figures attached to them. In the box are the bones of their ancestors), he still believes that there is a bit of tradition in what he does. By collecting old but fascinating items he finds, he feels connected to the past and his ancestors. Sometimes, especially if he doesn't know what the item is, he will pretend it is from the American Indian ages, and he will try to figure out what it's purpose was.

Username: olivionary
Name: mfalme • far l meh • Swahili for king
Which African tribe did he come from?: The Swahili people. Fal's family have always followed a very strict form of Islam, this is because he descends from two grandparents who came from the Swahili tribes. He speaks fluent Swahili and English, I personally love the Swahili language which is one reason to why I chose this tribe/group.
What African custom/tradition does he always follow?: Making Kanga. Kanga is a large price of fabric which is worn by women, and sometimes men. They have messages written on one side in Swahili or the countries native language. They are also often colourful and made of cotton. I find the idea of Kanga attractive, the idea of a bright colourful dress with a personal message would be very nice and would be why Fal follows this tradition.

Note: I'm on my iPod and its late so ill edit why tomorrow
