Names: Bela and Axel
DOB: Same year as Jothra and Zoay
Pride: Izusa Kingdom
Tribe: Izusa Lions
Family Background:
Bela and Axel are the daughter and son of Xater and Nitka. They are littermates. Axel received more nutrients while
in the womb, so he is a little oversized and Bela is a bit undersized. Bela grows up to be very intelligent. Axel was
chosen to be betrothed to the Izusa Kingdom's heiress, namely Zoay.
Color Scheme (Both)
Base Color: Light Brown
Light zones (toe tips): White
Dark zones (over eyes, inner ears): Medium Brown
Eyes: Surprise me!
Other:
Bela is just small. Like even if she has normal cub proportions, she's overall smaller than a normal cub her age.
Axel is a bit oversized, counter-balancing his sister's smaller size. He usually has an air of superiority about him.
Nikita Moonlight:
Nikita Moonlight provides both an excellent family resemblance between the cubs and their mother
(Nitka) and also a contrast between Bela and Axel's personalities.
Jhale:
Jhale, easily this site's most prolific artist, has also taken time to give us these pieces of Bela, possibly this
site's cutest character. Here she sports the goldenrod nose color she and her brother have in Jhale's pics.
Also here Axel's mane is the same color as his light zones, which isn't typical.
Efi Wild:
Alejandra gives us the foundation needed for proper anatomy and body build for Axel and other
characters. Also, she tries something not found on any other picture of any other character: the house
cat-like forehead spots. An interesting addition, it would certainly make the character easily
recognizable. And in addition to sketches, Alejandra also does some amazing full-color portraits, and
this one of Bela is great. With the expressive face and effortless shading, you want to just give little
Bela a hug. And she'd hug you back!
Snowlprd31:
This last piece is by Snowlprd31, who goes the extra step and puts Bela in the grasslands. The
expression and the shading make this a beautiful piece of this cute character.
