The young lioness is on the shorter side, though not entirely small. Her frame is thick and sturdy in build, good for a lion, but not necessarily a lioness. With this stout frame, she doesn't hold much of a desired build that many males that she’s met, like in a mate, her pelt only adding to Makena's repulsion. Fur, riddled with different shades of tan, she never quite out grew her cub spots. Though they are faded for the most part, they never fully disappeared. These spots however help with her camouflage along with the rest of her pelt. On her head and full along her back is an orangish tan color, the same as the spots that cover much of her body. Below is a light, soft sand color before her under side and paws which are not quite white, but more of a powder. This powdered color also occupies the center circle of her near black ears. Starting near the bottom on her chest and ending on her under belly near where her hind legs start, she has a thin white strip down her underside. Besides her ears, the long hair on the end of her tail is the darkest part of her pelt. It is a darker orange than her back color, but still on the lighter end of the spectrum of colors. Makena’s nose was a deep rust color when she was young, but later darkened as if burned. It still holds some of the red when observed in the light, but otherwise appears black. Her eyes match her appearance rather well as a dull olive, almost a bland grey.

Born to a small pride, her mother had birthed and raised many cubs in her life, Makena and Lier just another litter from the governess Jin and king Kumar. No one would have imagined it would be their last. Like the others they were raised to fulfil their jobs they were assigned. Young Makena would become a huntress when she came of age and Lier would either become a Paladin or be chased off once he was big enough to care for himself. The day would come all too soon though. Poacher’s had targeted the small pride as a competition, their pelts as the well desired prize. Very few lions escaped with their lives. Mother’s lost their young and their lives, Kumar lost his thrown as the well-aged king pushed up daisies. A first time mother managed to escape, but the cub she carried with her was a lifeless lump of fur. Makena managed to slip away during the slaughter, but was unable to see if her brother did as well. Both siblings were just over 2 years of age during the massacre, luckily able to hunt and defend for themselves, but not yet fully grown.

She had since traveled the lands on her own, trying to enter several prides along the way. Usually the females would chase her off, seeing her as a waste, unable to contribute at her age. She almost made her place in a new pride before reaching the reserve, kissing up to a male she thought was the king, but was sorely mistaken as both male’s began to fight, resulting to both Makena and the strange lion being chased off. She reluctantly entered the reserve, off put by the scent of humans that circled the borders. Entering the new lands, she continues her search for acceptance.
