#baliyo

Next in my series of draws for Pride Month, here is Baliyo (he/him nonbinary) and Zuri (pansexual).

Their relationship started rocky at first, with Zuri’s depression after getting her scars getting a toll on her self steem and Baliyo going through his own stuff as well, feeling a bit useless since Kion and his guard where now living in the Tree of Life. These two bonded because of their insecurities and helped each other to overcome them. Once they become mates, Zuri is the one that usually goes to the Tree of Life for visiting (she likes an excuse to go into a trip).

In the future, they are gonna have two cubs: Hashaan (‘good looking’), he will be The Fastest in Akili’s Guard; and Kashika ('one who shines’), a beautiful girl that will become part of the Night Pride.

For the record, Vitani also helped these two confess xD

Baliyo in this pic has yet to grown his full mane, that will look like this
