BIO:  

    Akshika was born in a Zoo owned by Half Indian/ Half american people .  Her name was given to her for her 2 different colored eyes.  Her mother was Abani, Indian for Earth due to her warm colored pelt Brown like the earth its self.  Her father was Ishan, Meaning Sun for his light yet bright colored pelt like the sun.  Her brother was the runt of the family so they called him Chinu for small.   Chinu and Akshika always played and romped around the pen while there parents went on stage. They even got to watch them preform sometimes.

     Chinu and Akshika loved it, but there parents on the other hand, didnt.  They were once wild lions, roaming free on the plains with other lions.  Ishan would tell then stories of when he used to be in a pride, having to hunt and protect.  They didnt think that was so great though, they were well fed and the humans were kind to them.

    But one day something went wrong and there father attacked one of the men, and unfortunately neither one made it alive....  Abani knew what he had done and knew that they would be taken away, and she was right they did.  

    Akshika, Chinu and Abani all were shipped away to The plains her father always speaked of,  it seemed like a lifetime since they were in those boxes no water or food, and Chinu fell ill.  Abani wasnt producing enough milk for the both of them and was growing just as weak.  Akshika always waited last to drink, she was old enough to ween off and Chinu needed it more.  She as well was weak and skinny but she stayed strong like her father was.  But being strong just wasnt enough, Chinu didnt make it and they grieved over him.

    Many days had passed and one day they felt the box move.  Abani told Akshika that once that box opened to run and run as fast as she could  and hide , then find a lion named Chari he will teach u the ways of a true lion tell him ur fathers name.  Akshika didnt understand what he mother was saying and begged her to be with her, her mother told her she would be right behind her.

    The box opened and a human hand with a pole and  and dart reached in but Akshika listened to her mother and bolted running as fast as she could, she could here the snarls of her mother and people screaming  but she was to afraid to look back she ran  and hid like her mother had said.  But Abani never came to Akshika.  

    Akshika waited for many days and nights in a small cave for her mother but she never returned.  She was alone.  She remembered her mothers words to find a lion named Chari and tell him of her father and thats what she would do.  The next daybreak she set out to find this Chari.  She traveled for days living off scraps of carcasses at least there was plently of water to drink.  She asked many other lions even getting chased form prides and attacked at, but she held on till she finaly came across an old lion with pale fur and graying mane.  

    This was Chari.  She has finally found him.  The male was friendly and old but was full of wisdom and strength.  Little did she know was that Chari was actual her grandfather, this made Akshika feel less alone in the world.  The days passed and Chari tought Akshika everything she needed to know, to hunt, to kill, to attack and defend.  She grew into a strong brave lioness with a heart of gold.  She was kind to all creatures and even prayed after a kill to thank the Great lions form above for her successful kill.  

    Chari however was growing older and older and could not hunt for himself let alone stand. He passed away in his sleep peacefully while telling Akshika to be the best lioness she could be and to find a pride and a mate  and live on like a real lion should and that her mother and father and brother were proud as the watched her from above with the great lions.  She morned for many days, But as always she listened to his advise and now wanders the plains searching for a pride to call her own or just a place to even call home.
