---------------------------------------------------------

Basic Information:

**Abra was a lioness from generations before Mohatu and many lioness can trace their genes back to her mother, herself and her uncle. Abra was born from the line of the three first Lion kings born unto the world. She was a queen who fell in love with one that was not her kind a leopard, She left her mother and father to roam the lands with her lover, when the circle of life was being tested, the rules and order of things were being broken, and the lands fell into chaos. Abra and her mate lives alone at the time atop of the Snowy mountain. Until a messenger bird came to Abra telling her of her mothers passing, a pestilence had fallen over the lands and had taken the high queen.

Abra returned home, but was not welcome, her pride saw her as a deserter and banished Abra. yet that didn't stop her, Abra sought out what was causing the plague. she went o find her cousin, he was many lands over but they two were suffering at the hands of destruction, an endless fire devouring their land.

Her Cousin, Utba , he and Abra went to the all spring, the watering hole that never ran dry, there they sat in silence and meditation until the great spirit spoke to them. They were told to gather warriors whose spirit was strong, to go to the dying lands and find the Pool of Stars, so Abra and her companions did just that, Utba Found a golden Lion who called himself Mousa, he was calm, and wise, and seemed greatly in tune with the great spirit, He led them to one other, a Pale Lion name Chanda, who was blinded but could see people spirits, and very sneaky.

They together traveled to the Pool of Stars, finding it in the dead lands, a place were ancient animals who hadn't a spirit, went to die. deep within it's caves, they found a pool in a small cavern. and in it, though no sky was above it they saw the reflection of the night sky. and the three first kings relection showed within.

They told the four travelers that the great spirit was unhappy with the greed and disorder sown about the lands, that the royal bloodlines had failed to lead them. To purge the taint, the four must go and plant new life across the lands, symbols of hope. Great tree's that would never wilt or die, Trees that would serve a home to all, tears that would heal all hurts. So Abra and her companions went out, and planted the trees, but the fires threatened to consume them. Chanda stayed behind to tend the trees, and with his thick claws he tore the bark to draw out sap that would heal any who drank it. Chanda started healing the sick animals of the land.

Back at the Pool to search for answers, the Three Kings told Abra, to go back to her snowy mountain top, there she would need to sing to the sky in a mighty roar for nineteen days and four nights after, she would be forbade to eat or sleep and the spirit of the Three Kings and the Land would keep her sustained. Abra did so, without question, spending so much time up on the mountain that the days ran together. There her former mate returned to her, and tried to talk her into leaving the mountain and running away from the lands which were slowly dying.

Abra denied him, and did as she was told. she stayed, but her stomach ached and her mouth was dry, her throat cracking and her roar weakening as she roared to the skies with out end, her body hurt from malnutrition and she could hardly stand. One the last night, when nothing seemed to be happening, Abra started to cry in dispar, she had given up on her family and pride and she felt that she had played a part in the Great spirit abandoning them.

In her tears of physical and mental pain she gave one last mighty roar, and collapsed.

she lay in darkness for hours, and woke to find herself covered in water, it was raining, the sun had risen and they sky was covered in clouds, thunder roared and it sounded like her. Abra went to roar in victory only to find, she couldn't. Her roar was gone.

Meanwhile, Abra returned to find Utba and Mousa had gone forth and found a pride of cannibalistic lions, who were devouring everything and anyone they could, Lions, Spirited and Un-spirited creatures alike. This went against the circle of life, and the Three Kings ordered Mousa and Utba being the strongest of the four to go find pride of lions and put an end to them. Before they would act, the Evil pride, started war upon the three ruling Prides, the Royal bloodline was in trouble. Mousa returned to his pride, and rallied them as did Utba. Chanda left his Tree's in the protection of some followers he had gathered who were skilled at healing, and went to Mousa to help him lead his pride. Abra, went back home and raised her pride to fight.

Together, the four created a army, and faught with the evil pride. the fires ended, and the plague had no power with the tree planted. During the battle the sky was made black from the smoke that was left by the fires before they ended, and a long night covered the lands. Abra, the smoke seemed to give the evil ions strength. so together, the four leaders turned their heads to the sky and roared as loud as they could. it blasted the smoke away and skies started to open, the night sky full on stars, the moon peeking through the clouds of rain, shone like a giant wing on the ground. the same wing shown on the Four Pride leaders and all those that followed them. it gave them strength, and soon the evil lions were driven back.

The war was over and now all that remained was to help heal the land.

The Four Leaders, left their prides to their kin or offspring and went back to The Pool of Stars. many who fought with them went there as well, and together they formed, The Defenders of Legacy, and group who would aid the Royal Bloodlines should trouble plague the lands and reminded them who they truly are inside.

Abra, and her companions would fall into legend, and then myth. becoming little more than a fairytale. A fairytale that inspired the Lion Guard into creation. She gave up her name, and took on the title of Skymane, for she broke the skies and gave her roar to the thunder.

Abra and her companions were granted the gift of immortality for their service to the Great Spirit and the Three Kings. However, When war broke out among The Four Manes , her former companions turned against her, and put The Defender of Legacy at risk. Abra tried tos top them, but sadly she was slain. Her spirit however continued to watch over the lands, and her spirit can be spoken to on the snowy mountain top.

Her spirit once spoke to Rani who seeks wisdom on how to save The Tree of Life when the plague returns to the lands. Abra's spirit joins with Rani to make her strong enough to call down purifying rains onto the lands to heal the Tree of Life.
