Personality[]
Amira may be a kind-hearted and outgoing young lioness, but don't let that fool you for long. She comes with a stubborn attitude, and once she sets her mind to something, she will not stop until she achieves it no matter the consequences. Unfortunately, those consequences may come back to bite her if she gets too reckless. She can be sarcastic and snarky with animals she knows and loves, and there was not a time that she did not start an argument. However, she could also be a compromiser, trying to bring peace to animals she cares for. She may start arguments, but she never wants to start fights or even war. She tries to resolve them the best she could despite what consequences come forth. She is also child-like and enjoys having fun when she has no reason to be serious.
