Tahari was originally created as the Nobody of Jabari. In other words, he was a Kingdom Hearts fc and originally exclusively human. He was used for a while in high school and then I accidentally forgot about him. A year or so ago, I stumbled upon a picture of his human form in an old sketchbook and was smitten all over again. So much so that he was briefly my male 'sona. This is also when his lion form was created.
Some time ago, I decided to drop the KH aspect and just make him his own character, and so he is no longer a Nobody but simply a human and lion. The lion form is now known as Tahari and may be a cousin to Jabari. He is confident, but not arrogant, except in the respect that involves his singing, which is horrendous. Unfortunately, he thinks he's good at it and won't stop doing it, and tends to drive everyone nuts with it. As a Nobody, his singing produced literal sound waves that would cause damage to the hearer.
