Name: Jabari
Sex: Male
Personality: Cocky, jovial, know-it-all, confident
Birthday: November 17th
History: Jabari was created as the representation of a major crush when I was a silly middle school girl in 2003 or 2004. I wanted something to represent him so I could include him in my art and at the time, I only knew how to draw lions, ala Lion King. So this guy was born. At the time, he was simply known as Justin lion, or the fictional lion form of Justin. That boy I so adored.
Later on, I decided that calling him by his real name was too conspicuous, and I liked to give my lions Swahili names anyway, in the tradition of the Lion King. So I gave him the name Jabari, which means proud in Swahili, amongst other things. I have drawn him many times over the years, and he has become somewhat of a staple of my work. I love him very much.
