None of the lions care at all about bloodlines and such. 

At this point Gingerella is pretty much 100% a Ximhungwe. She is behaving no different as if she was born in the pride as one one Ximhungwes cubs and actively took part in the attacks on her natal pride.

If Ximhungwe were to die. She will continue the pride like normal. So she deserves the name.

I think we are putting far more importance on this whole bloodline thing than is reasonable. 

Ultimately this is about animal behavoir. Not the continuation of the habsburg regime. And the facts on the ground is simply that she is a Ximhungwe now. Regardless of bloodlines or not. 

I really dont see why we need to complicate things with unnecessary namechanges. The history of the pride is easy to understand and well known. A namechange would only add to any confusion.

I dont think it can be put in better words than that. 
Gingerella is a Ximhungwe at this point, they are the legacy of the pride and this attachment to names is an unnecessary idealization of ours. 

What would she be called if not Ximhungwe? Othawa? Theres already an Othawa pride. Create another name? well thats pointless. 

She is a Ximhungwe and her two daughters were born as Ximhungwe, blood is actually the least important in this scenario, the pride is rebuilt atp. 

Regardless, Ximhungwe mated with PCMs a few months ago, she should/could have cubs soon no? 
Just like everyone else i hope she has cubs, especially to continue her direct lineage which is not only Ximhungwe but also Selati. If that does not happen, then Gingerella and her daughters are also Ximhungwe and the pride lives on. Reply
