Pos, neu, neg (Order)
Clever: He is as smart as can be, groomed to be a mastermind in trickery and schemes yet he is not perfect. He still has much to learn and experience.
Genuine: He is always true to his word and honest to a fault despite his mother doing her best to make him master the art of lying.
Observant: This ties well into his cleverness, able to pick up on the slightest details and behaviors of others. He can even pick up on moods depending on body language.
Unpredictable: Jihan is great at being spontaneous. He's hard to read and generally seems emotionless. He can even prove to be a threat in battle.
Shy: He may seem cold and unapproachable but deep down dwells a shy boy, oblivious to socializing and the concept of a healthy relationship. Platonic or not.
Cynical: He deeply believes that others always act out of selfishness, he fears others want to use him as his mother did and thus strays from friendships.
Insecure: He is still affected by his mother's nitpicking and finds himself contemplating whether or not he's good enough or presentable enough.
Gloomy: He isn't the most cheery of characters, usually alone and melancholic. He often loses himself in the memories of his past. He prays for something good to pull him away from those dark moments.
Pre history:
Jihan was born to a mother that fled her husband out of pure spite. She was delusional, believing wholeheartedly that her growing cub was that of the great Scar. She had always been obsessed with the story, the scene, she witnessed his tyranny firsthand yet it mattered not that he had gone mad. Soon her time had run out to run, not long after her decision to rest did her son come into the world. His eyes burned a fiery crimson as he gazed up at her, the potential, the destiny, all calculated within her mind as she looked him over. She didn't love him, no, she ADORED him. He was perfect in every way possible, he looked like Scar himself, a reincarnation of her great king. She saw the cub as a passage to fame and adoration, Scar would bless her, yes, immensely. This boy would win where Scar had lost, thrive where he died, this child was everything to her. She looked him in his eyes and uttered his name "Taka" she said because the very lion was lying in her embrace, now an infant to start his reign anew. She was overjoyed. Taka was groomed to believe his superiority, blinded by his mother's madness, losing grasp of himself. He wasn't a cub, a random chil, no. He was Scar. He was an empty shell, a puppet tightly strung up by his dam, she knew best, mothers always did, right? His mother was too far gone, already beginning to taint the boy's innocence with lies and deceit before she was tragically murdered at 8 years old. The cub was only a year old yet he did not cry, he did not bat an eye at the news, finally ripped away from her tightly wound rope and free to see her destruction. He was never Scar, he was never superior or great, he was a random cub from a failing marriage. His eyes were opened to the truth and he found himself lost. There were no orders, or training or lashings to endure. Just plain freedom. He didn't want to be what his mother wanted, he wasn't Taka or Scar, from now on he was Jihan. No more would he say otherwise. He returned to his father, Obasi, mane just starting to sprout, ribs showing through skin, fur dirty and matted. Jihan was finally safe. He mended the bond between him and his father, growing into a new lion, one he finally dictated the life of, forever.
