A large bluish grey-sorrel colored lion was laying down, a couple of cubs gathered around him with big eyes as he told them all a story, you unable to hold back a chuckle at the soft "Woahs!" and curious noises the cubs were making. You decide to sit down and join on in with the younger ones, the lion before you looking very genuine and paternal, clearly enjoying the presence of little ones.

Nyota joined the pride alongside his denmate Arusi. Kikuyu had rescued both of them as young adolescents, both lions having suffered very harsh treatment from their former pride which resulted into the ruler no longer wanting either of them, threatening to kill both of them if they didn't flee immediately. Nyota, after being saved and relocated into a much better pride, took a while to emotionally heal from the trauma he had underwent. He meditated daily and enjoyed the positive parts to life, ever so thankful that he had gotten a second chance to enjoy the world around him. He healed in a very positive light and in a way, his past experiences made him stronger. His denmate however didn't heal in the same way he did and still carries heavy grief, the two are extremely close and Nyota loves and respects her dearly. Overtime, He finds that Arusi does fall pregnant from another lion of the pride, Ghedi after a casual fling. Instead of being upset, he decides to be happy for the lioness he loves and helps raise the little one alongside her and Ghedi. This is the focal point of their relationship and the two finally decide to become mates, this resulting into the birth of their own daughter. Nyota is very content with his family and is an amazing, very loving and playful father.
Nyota is a very kind, experienced and laid back lion with a very strong sense of paternity and protection. He is very wise, gentle and aware of whats going on around him. He carries a strong fatherly role for the cubs that don't have families that live in the pride, and will risk his life in an instant to protect a cub in need. Kikuyu and Heidi rely on him often as a deputy, as he is very good at listening to instruction and keeping others in line. He is often around Arusi, the two sharing a very strong connection and Arusi often getting anxiety when shes away from him for too long.
