Username: sumashira
Animal name: Nana (Ghanaian: mother of the earth)
Animal age: 41 years
Animal: African Hippopotamus
History:

Nana lived through what she, at the time, considered to be one of the worst droughts in all of African history (of course, having not lived through the entirety of African history, she couldn't know). Proud and bold, Nana grew up around family and friends and learned from them to be strong and fierce and independent to survive. In adulthood her small herd passed a similar travelling family with which they traveled for a time, and Nana came away from the experience with a new daughter, who she named Halimah. The name was used as a way to mock her daughter and warn her about what might happen if she did not grow stronger, but the little one was stubborn and sweet. Nana spends her days as a cranky old lady with a lot to say, fighting to be leader wherever she can find a place.

Animal name: Halimah (Swahili: gentle, humane, kind)
Animal age: 12 years
Animal: African Hippopotamus
History:

Born and raised under the strict observance of her mother, Nana, Halimah has maintained her kindness and thoughtfulness. She wanders with the rest of her family from river and lake to other rivers and lakes, returning to her home. She has survived this long with her gentle demeanor, but picked up some stubbornness and a bit of spitfire from those she's interacted with that ensured her survival.

Pupster smiled at them. "Hello!" he woofed softly.

Sabie lifted her head. She looked over at a baobab tree not too far off. She noticed the two hippos. "Umm, Linkin, should I be worried?" she said quietly, panick in her voice.

The large female stood, asleep on her feet, drowsing beneath the shade of a baobab tree, her wide head hanging low to the ground as she rested. It was significantly cooler here than out in the open, and unfortunately Nana knew that she and her daughter had quite a ways to go in order to reach the next riverbank. She had rolled in the dirt, giving herself a cooling coat, but it wasn't nearly as effective as mud. "You just wait here, Halimah; don't go too far," the mother had warned her child. Even while drifting in and out of sleep, Nana knew it was no use trying to convince her daughter of the wicked creatures on the Savannah. Halimah was probably off frolicking with vultures for all she knew, baking in the scorching day's sun.



Halimah had listened to what her mother said, of course; she knew better than to completely disregard what Nana said. However, she was a little girl. She wasn't tired. She didn't want to rest. She wanted to play! For some time she had fidgeted impatiently beneath the tree, waiting for her elderly mother to say it was time to move again, but she was bored. Halimah wanted to find someone to talk to. When she was sure her mother was in a decently deep sleep, the hippo began to wander from the tree, flicking her little ears and wagging her tail joyfully. She studied her surroundings. She wasn't used to not seeing water!

OOC: If you don't want to play all three of the pups, Sev, I'll gladly adopt one. The more characters the better. :P

Sabie watched Halimah.

Halimah was still rather amazed that water was so far out of view. It seemed that her herd - particularly Halimah and her mother - were travelling more nowadays than they did before. It was bizarre. She didn't entirely understand. Her mother told her often that it wasn't her job to understand, so Halimah would just shrug it off and accept her fate. Today was another one of those days. Nana had started off cranky and snippy, so Halimah was glad for an opportunity to get away from that negativity. Halimah snuffled at the ground with her round nose, listening to all the sounds around her.

Ps
My character has been in hiding from the outside world as she is afraid she will become lunch and her home has enough grazing ground and water to keep her but she wants to roam outside of her hiding spots and make friendships, she dosent care what animal her friends are as long as they are proven loyal and trust worthy, (right before she was captured she had a run in with an old friend but it tried to attack her so now she has trust issues)
