Description Name: Malka
Name Meaning: queen
Status: King of the Grassy Peaks Pride (Valelands)
Relations: Mate of Ifetayo and Gimbya
Summary: Malka’s mother, mate of the current king of the land, was a rather confused and befuddled lioness. She was constantly getting lost, making silly mistakes or unknowing bringing bad luck on herself. But she remained ever optimistic, something the king admired in her, so she became his mate and queen. However, this does cause some problems later on when she is carrying their first child. She goes out hunting as a storm roles in, seeking shelter in a cave, going into labor to boot. But thankfully she safely gives birth to a single cub, who she adores right from the get go. Delirious from birth, and in the bad lighting of the cave and scent of blood over powering all, she assumes the cub is female, having always wanted a daughter, naming it Malka for the beautiful queen she’ll some day be.
The following day, her mate tracks her down, relieved to find her safe, and proud to officially be a father now. But the scene grows awkward when his mate tells him the name she picked for their “daughter”, tentatively telling her that they have a son, not a daughter. At first embarrassed, her mate laughs it off, for the name can also mean king and they decide that a male with a more “feminine” side will rule the lionesses better.
So Malka grows up with a rather confusing name, at first leaving people of the land befuddled over how to act around him. But Malka doesn’t let it bother him; he has all the kindness and mercy along with bravery and resolve that good prince should have. So the people shrug it off and don’t bring it up, so long as he proves qualified as next heir, what does his name meaning matter?
But issue does arrive in an unlikely way for Malka seems to have inherited his mothers “ways”. He gets lost constantly, bring bad fortune on himself through his actions and even easily tricked into doing stupid stunts. His mother empathizes with him and takes him out regularly to teach him how to avoid her mistakes, using her years of experience so he can improve himself sooner. And while these teachings help significantly, Malka is still remains hopeless with directions, though he never lets it bother him.
As the year’s pass and Malka reaches his older cub years, his parents reach out to a pride to the west called the Whistling Creek pride to send a lioness to betrothed to him. Thus does the cub princess, Gimbya, along with her bodyguard and friend, Ifetayo, come to live in his homeland. The three hit it off instantly, Gimbya, though younger then Malka is sweet, kind and generous and Tayo (as he’s nicknamed) is strong, assured and adventurous. They help him through his bad directional skills and help him over come his own misfortune, and in return, Malka treats them with the greatest love and affection, willing to do ANYTHING for his two best friends. This strong bond between the three continues into their teenage years, as hormones and new emotions surge through their bodies. Malka begins to eye his betrothed with adoring gaze, but strangely enough, so does Tayo. But rather then be jealous, Malka seems to find it exciting; looking at Tayo the same way he does Gimbya. Which confuses the young prince: he’s male, and males shouldn’t want other males, especially sense he feels the same way about a female. But whenever he tries to imagine himself with only one, with only Gimbya or Tayo, it feels incomplete, only the three together feels right. He ponders over this long and hard, knowing he can’t mess this up; he can’t make a stupid mistake in a matter like this. And when the day his father and mother announce they will step down and pass the crown to him, he knows that he needs to make a choice.
So the day arrives, and Malka waits anxiously near by as his mother and father give go through the procedure of stepping down. For he will not only be crowned this day, but married to Gimbya as well: the act that will sever any chance he may have with Tayo. So he steps forward, to make his announcement, as is customary for all rulers about to take the crown. But instead of going over what his reign will bring, he announces his own feeling for both Gimbya AND Tayo, stating he knows that that no one can understand his feelings nor accept them. He states he will step down from the line of accession to not embarrass any one further, intent on leaving in self-exile. But to his surprise, both Tayo and Gimbya step forward to stop him, stating they share his feelings, proclaiming they wish to go forward with marriage ceremony together. Malka is elated, agreeing so long as they share the thrown together. So Malka, Gimbya and Ifetayo are joined in marriage and not long after take there place as the lands new rulers. Malka, finally assured of himself and his place.

*EDIT* Okay folks, here is the official bio of Malka. Now you can see why his name means "queen" and not "king". First off mommy made a silly mistake AND he favors both sexes. That's right, my Malka is bisexual, deal with it. Believe me, they be far more "daring" pairings to come. *EDIT*

That's it folks. I'm finally done with all bios relating lions of Mufasa's and Simba's generation, whether there canon, semi-canon or OC. I only have three other characters that fit in this age bracket but there still a WIP. So that means I won't have to do any more character sheets for a long while and can now focus on finishing up there bio information (AKA summary information).
Now then as for Malka. Like Tanglemane I wasn't going to do my version of this guy as I didn't have a part for him. But Sense I did Tanglemane and all the other semi-canon characters (Tama, Tojo, Chumvi and Kula) I figured I do him. Plus, he will play a very minor role in a future story but it will be small. I kinda went nuts with this guy, I went all out making him look unique and weird: he's very different from any lion we've seen thus far. But I like him, especially his story (which I promise will be posted soon.

Awesome design for Malka! I love his mane.

One thing, though, are you absolutely sure his name means "queen"? According to Rinja's translation on his bio sheet , his name actually means "king" or "spirit of power", so... I'm honestly confused.

Maybe. I'll double check and get back to you on that.

Okay. It's not that big a deal, really; like I said, I was just confused, because yours and Rinja's bio sheets for him contradict each other, as far as the meaning for his name, and I know for a fact Rinja always goes through so much trouble to find proper translations for their names, doing lots of research, etc... For that reason, I wouldn't think she's wrong, but I wouldn't necessarily call you wrong, either, so... I dunno. lol

Okay, I checked and most sources of that name Malka are for girls so it translates as queen. And my story for him will explain why he is given this version.
I won't give much away other then your not the only one who is confused over his name.

He sure has a generous amount of colors going on in that mane there! But shouldn't the meaning of his name mean "king"?

Nope, according the translations, that's what his name means.
