PRE-GROUP HISTORY

After the destruction of the Mitsu Pride, and the murder of king Yaghzu by tigers- the fallen king's half-brother Vaareth took the title of king at his dying brother's last request. With this change of kings came the removable of certain laws that females within the known misogynistic pride- one of them being that each member of Nguvu must have a single biological cub. With this new law Messenger Wimbo did not see much of a choice so, he came to an agreement with another messenger within the pride- a workaholic female named Olusare. It didn't take long for her to fall pregnant with his cubs producing twins- a son and a daughter both similar in color. They would be mostly cared for by Wimbo considering Olusare's drive for work being her main focus- so it's safe to say Heshimu doesn't really know his mother only who she is. Since the day he could open his eyes and start to crawl, Wimbo is learning the hard way that his son is one that loves to seek adventures and be a little all over the place.

GROUP HISTORY

Despite being born in the middle of the games, little Heshimu happily took park in the youth's dancing though he didn't care much that he didn't win - it was fun, and he no doubt made his musical father proud. After the games when they returned home to Nguvu, Heshimu liked to make trouble of course alongside his twin sister - and when he entered his teen years the young male took the rank of a Guard Trainee.

When the winter came though, Heshimu followed Lead Scout Eyade along with his father Wimbo, His twin sister Kekema, Enzi, and Thabisa on an expedition in search of where the herds left to as food was dangerously low in Nguvu. They managed to find the herd, but the zebra's heard leader was a challenge one the expedition group too head on. Sadly, Heshimu got too cocky and made a wrong move that almost costed him his life if his father hadn't taken the fatal blow for her son. Wimbo was dead, and it was Heshimu's fault

It wasn't until meeting a certain Usta Female around his age named Cariad, that he started to allow himself to properly grieve the loss of his father as well as forgive himself in a way. Cariad was visiting Nguvu alongside her mother who was a Diplomat and a former Nguvu Member. The pair had slowly started to hang out a bit, as Cariad gave Heshimu the push he needed to play his father's drum set once more while giving her musical lessons. She even talked him into something the prides were doing for the love is in the air season - the Lover's leap which was jumping from the top of a waterfall to the water below, which Cariad confessed her crush on Heshimu during it. The day though soon came where she and her mother had to leave, but not before the blush male gifted her a necklace with a crystal shaped like a song note.

Despite living in different prides though, thanks to Cariad's little bird companion the pair keep in touch - with Heshimu awaiting the day he could find a way to go see her again. A year passed before the pair saw each other again, when Cariad showed up in Nguvu having come to see Heshimu - which the male wasted no time in proposing and marrying the lioness he loved, something happy in his life despite the drama going on with his sister and her estranged baby daddy Nyo

:new: Despite being young, the couple knew they wanted cubs of their own, though that seemed to be a challenge given a year would pass and they still found themselves without cubs of their own. To top it off the waters within the lands had been contaminated leading in the sickness and deaths of members as young as little cubs, which worried Heshimu on top of the fact he was working now as a royal guard for the pride. Just when they agreed to take a break from trying, the pair found themselves expecting their first litter just before Cariad gave birth, which they welcomed a darling Daughter named after Heshimu's Father Wimbo in.
