Nadira is the offspring of both Kion and Jasiri, but she was raised within a polyamourous family made up of Kion, Jasiri, and Fuli.

As it should be made obvious: lions and hyenas can not produce offspring naturally. The same goes for lions and cheetahs. Due to this obstacle, this small family has turned to more... questionable routes in order to grow their family tree. That route being black magic involving sacrifice, blood oathes, and the help of a blood shaman. Their shaman of choice was known as Talazami, the pride shaman of Scar’s reign.

The sacrifices were made mostly with Fuli and Jasiri in mind, as their soul is more bonded with their cubs/pups. It’s understood that if this magic were to be successful, their life forces were to be bonded to their children’s; resulting in a rapid decline in health as their offspring grow into maturity. A life for a life.

The blood magic blessed (cursed??) upon Fuli and Jasiri has been kept secret from the rest of the pride, including their offspring. The only ones to know of their situation is Kion and Talazami, but even Kion isn’t fully aware of the toll his beloveds are experiencing.

With a hyena’s DNA not being too similar to a lion’s, this causes a bit of a developmental block in Nadira’s case. While she is eager to learn and become a productive member in her pride she is lacking in overall development. She is mostly nonverbal aside from growls, barks, and yelps as well as not being able to comprehend most situations she is exposed to. She approaches every scenario as if she were a puppy. Her terrifying strength due to her hybridization of genetics is also problematic at times, as she isn’t aware of her differences. Most are questionable about her place among the Lion Guard because of this.

the moon in your eyes

the stars in your smile

nebulae to lose myself in swirling through your mind

but at the center, a black hole

eating at your heart

i hold your hand

and i feel the strength with which it pulls at your light

but against its gravity i keep you grounded

i pull harder, i am stronger

you are stronger

we hang on to constellations leading us to other worlds

away from the weight of the horizon

and connect with universes

paving paths through the palms of our hands

twin particles entangled in space, separated in time but never apart

our solar hearts burst, shooting novae through our bones

like the strings of fate binding us at our core

we drift through galaxies

collecting matter both light and dark
