Appearance: Kanya is a dark golden-orange lioness with a dark red nose and red eyes. She has the build of a stereotypical pride lander lioness, albeit slimmer. She has a red stripe on her forehead that extends only as far as her neck, and a beauty mark like her sister Uru. Kanya has lighter golden underfur and lighter colored paws. Her under neck lighter fur does not extend all the way to her muzzle. Personality: Kanya is a dreamer. She often gets caught up in many hobbies and duties that she undertakes yet has a difficult time ever seeing anything through to the end.
She has an appetite for anything and everything, and so often she becomes distracted and quickly entranced by many things and lions. They become obsessions, but the obsessiveness goes away quickly. She is the perfect example of the idea of their being two distinct sides to every coin, as she can go from wanting to adventure through every land one day, to wanting nothing more than to stay in and nap the next.
When her mood becomes sour, Kanya becomes guilt-ridden. From the traumas she experienced early on in life, she fears losing lions and so does her best to never really get attached beyond a crush.
While she would like to settle, she cannot imagine herself being able to as she runs from every possible would-be romance. He would not allow her to grow up beside him, and so sent her away by messenger to grow up with her sister Uru, who was the newly made Queen of the Pridelands.
Kanya thus grew up without both her parents but was instead looked after by her older sister. This was a difficult arrangement for Kanya, who could see that despite how loving and caring her sister was to her, she was still treated differently then her nephews. Kanya gained a rebellious streak as she grew, often bickering with Uru because she felt as if she was being mothered by someone who did not want to be her mother.
