Fademane

Fademane is the founder and current leader of Anga pride, meaning 'skies' in Swahili. His Hunt Chief is Moonstalk, who was appointed by the previous Hunt Chief and Fademane's former mate, Fierceswipe.

Appearance
Fademane is an extraordinarily large male lion with a black and gray dominating pelt. He has a very large mane that fades from a lighter gray to black, earning him the name Fade. Over the years, Fademane has fought many battles. Because of this, he has a very heavily scar riddled body. Scars cover his face, shoulders, back, sides, legs, and even his tail. He has very few scars, if any, on his neck as a result of his thick mane.

Personality
Despite Fademane's frightening appearance, he's a gentle lion over all. He tries his best to be loving, understanding, and accepting of other lions, and not judge strictly by appearance. Fademane will avoid conflict the best he can, but isn't afraid to fight as necessary. This is because he has a very complicated history with combat.

As a cub, Fademane was forced to fight his siblings aggressively and suffered extreme abused from his parents. Fademane has been able to grow since his time within his birth pride, and now uses his skills to protect his loved ones rather than fight pointless battles for bloodshed.

Fademane cares very deeply for his pride and would without a doubt die for it, wanting the absolute best for the lions within it. However, this has caused him to develop self doubt as Fademane worries that he isn't doing enough, or that he's an inadequate mane. As a result, Fademane often pushes a great deal of stress upon himself.

Fademane's daughter, Blaze, constantly got into trouble. This stressed Fademane out a terrible amount, until one day she lost her tail to a crocodile when she left the Pride's Territory without permission. Fademane largely blamed himself for this outcome, by not being there to watch her. During this period, Fademane very frequently experienced a large amount of emotions very quickly and very strongly. He became emotionally exhausted from the stress and strain he experienced, effecting his over all mental state.
