Kurta is a mild mannered lioness with a strong sense of family, honor, and duty. As the dominant female of her pride she takes on her role with no objections or complaints, save for when her mate makes a fuss about her "doing too much" while pregnant. She is very compassionate and loyal, but also holds a strong sense of justice for things right and wrong. Kurta is devoted to her pride with unwaivering loyalty and love.

BRIEF HISTORY
Growing up in the savannah with a small pride consisting of two females and her father, Kurta's cubhood was fairly simple, if not but a bit lonesome. Though she had her brothers and sisters to play with, she found that she would like to make more friends and find others like her pride. When she came into her own, she bid her family goodbye, going out on her own to form her own pride or to at least join a larger one. While resting near the watering hole one hot day she spotted a large chesnut colored male stalking a herd of nearby zebra. He was fixated on them, so much so that he didn't even notice her down by the water's edge.

Kurta watched him with great interest, finding him to be the most spectacular creature she'd ever seen. Unfortunately, that grand show of muscle could not bring down a zebra that day, ending up with a mouth full of mud. Laughing, the lioness came over to him, introducing herself and offering to help him hunt. And hunt they did, finally catching a young gazelle near dusk. It was over this small meal they discussed many things and became fast friends. Traveling the plains together day in and day out, friendship became love, and as they made their territory others began to join them including the male's pride. Now settled in their pride, Kurta awaits the birth of her first litter.
