This little girl loves to experiment with mixing clays and colours in the mouth of the cave, happily drawing on the cave walls with her paws and getting rather messy. This infuriates her mother but delights the young prince Kaidi, who suggests maybe she decorate the cave walls to brighten the place up a bit. She beams and plants her messy paws on his white pelt, and Kaidi is instantly infatuated, watching as she gets lost in her artwork.

As she is getting older she is spending more time with the young prince, who confides in her, and only her, his worries about pride leadership. Amandla worries about the future of the pride with two flighty and unsuitable prospects - Launuka does not make up for her suitors' shortcomings. But the cub is sweet enough. if maybe a bit flighty and aloof, and she is happy that he has found someone to confide in, if nothing else.

As she hits adolescence she is becoming a rather unconventionally attractive young lioness; she also doesn't confide by the pride rules and can be a bit unruly, but not to the point of destructiveness..! Kaidi is becoming increasingly infatuated with her- his fascination is quickly turning into something else..!

Well, so much has happened since Launuka became queen. Her and Kaidi have had ups and downs but now they are no longer young, they appreciate each other's company more and revel in bringing up their large and final litter together. She adores her son, and he is a mummy's boy, preferring her company to most others.

"You were pacing back and forth, frustrated at losing to a puny hyena earlier. Suddenly Launuka, Queen comes up to you, and softly tells you that no one is thinking badly of you for it. She soothingly kneads your mane."

"Launuka, Queen is lying on a nearby rock and gets up from it to greet you."

"Launuka, Queen gives a soft purring sound as a greeting, and moves over a little so you can lay down beside her."
