Zimo Contest Entry

My friend is having a contest for her character Drac ^^ The contest is to make a mate for her, and so Zimo was born!! X3 I really LOVE how this came out, I mean, those stripes ;u; It looks like a mix between Spanish and African origin XD

</u>History: Zimo was born in a small pride of Saber cats, some of the last living in Africa. He was the largest of his litter and would often accidentally injure his litter mates. Soon, when he was apprenticed to learn from a kind teacher, his teacher had taught him how to fight extremely well but Zimo could never really hunt well as his pelt color would often give away where he was hiding. So as his mane grew longer and longer, Zimo decided he may not be able to survive with the pride as he would never be able to play seeing as he would always accidentally hurt his friends and he didn't want to see them injured anymore, causing him to leave his pride early in the morning and leaving his friends and family behind to find a new life and maybe a new pride. He soon found a small group of rogue lions, all of them male. They were the Trich Brotherhood. All of their members were of different origins but planned on taking over the lands that Zimo's pride lived on. When Zimo accidentally gave away the fact that he used to be part of the pride and left, the Trich Brotherhood asked for him to join them, saying how if he had been injuring them unintentionally they wanted to know what he could do when actually trying to fight. Zimo declined and was attacked immediately without a chance to think of his decision again. He was left to die but was discovered by a lone lioness who easily defied the Trich Brotherhood as they ignored all females of any species. She helped him heal by bandaging his leg which had been torn apart from trying to escape the attack and she smeared a strange-smelling herb on his eye, which didn't bring back his vision but at least protected his eye and leg away from infection. Once he was healed she saw him on his way out of her tiny territory and brought him to a cargo ship that was getting ready to leave Africa. She said her goodbyes to him and he sailed off in secrecy over to the United States. Once he had arrived, he got off the ship to travel the country, eventually meeting a lovely cat named Drac who had quickly become a close friend of his and soon, his first crush.

Bio/Personality: He is very sweet and thoughtful but can get out of hand when it comes to playing, though when he is with Drac his heart seems to beat faster and his mind slows down making him a gentle giant. (short bio is short XD)
