Personality: Kasira might seem to be tough and strong, never-give-up type, sharp-tongued, fierce, fearless, fiery lioness she has turned into, blaming her confusing cubhood which changed her stronger she actually was. But this is just mask, to hide her true feelings and personality. Deep inside, she's still just a cub, innocent and cheerful, always ready to help her friends. Kasa is also very honest and loyal, tho her emotions change quickly, depending on her mood. She would never leave her loved ones behind in danger, she'd rather prefer to sacrifice herself for her friends, than leave them in danger, also ready to do the most craziest and dangerous things, only to keep her friends away from danger. However she doesn't accept help from others. When Kasa is in baad mood, she might be very impulsive, ruthless, and opportunistic, even manipulative. Then she prefers to stir away from the others, to spend some time without any company. She thinks that this is the best way to act, when she's raging, so she couldn't hurt anyone accidently. But usually her fits of rage are very short, so there is no need to stay away from her too long. She has always short-tempered in arguements. For being so over-protective and caring, she's also sometimes unknowingly expecting support and comfrot from others. Kasa gets along very well with cubs, being very motherly to youngsters.

Background: Kasira was born (She's as young as Kiara's great grandchildren) deep in the jungle (not the one where Simba met Timon and Pumbaa), into the pride, called Msitu's Pride. The Jungle was also known as The West Lands. Kasira's parents Msitu and Maliza were the King and Queen, so she has royal blood in her veins. Kasa was the second-born to her parents. Her older sibling Ngozi, was the future King of The West Lands. Kasa has been jelous at him from the beginning of time. She desired to lead her parents' pride. And that was not fair about her. Every day, Kasira has been trying to impress his father, often getting in troubles with that. But she never stopped trying. But there's no good without bad. She had no idea that they were very close to dark times. Her mother, Maliza died, being eaten by a crocodille. Maliza was the only one truly care about Kasa. And after her death, Msitu and Ngozi became even more manipulative against her. Kasa was a loner in her pride. She thought that everybody has forget that she's a princess. She was avoiding the rest of the pride every single day, spending her time sitting by the spot, where Maliza was buried. Time passed and Kasa grew into a beautiful teen lioness, and her father began to pay more attention to her, step by step. Even her brother seemed to be kinder to her. But nothing could help her forget her father's ignorance to her, and her mother's death. Those two facts left irreparable wounds in her heart. And one day, someone ripped those olds one open again. It was a male from Msitu's pride. He was also known as Hamu. Hamu challenged Kasa's father. Unfortunately, Msitu lost, and Hamu exiled him from the West Lands. He became a new king, and as the old ritual tells, the new king must kill the cubs from the old king's reign. So he did. Hamu killed all young ones, and soon enough, there was new, 'the unwanted' generation in the pride. Kasa was shocked, and planned to revenge Hamu for her father. One morning, she attacked him, but left with bad wounds on her body. Hamu exiled her, like he did with Mitsu. Kasa left the The West Lands, settling on rogue life. In few weeks, when she was nearly starving to death, luckily found another jungle (the one where Simba met Timon and Pumbaa). And thank to that jungle, she survived. Now Kasa's living there.
Other: She's more known as Kasa than Kasira.
