Othawa Pride

[Duco Ndona]

We never saw the attack, so we cant tell for certain Gingerella was involved or if she was, did much of the mauling. I can see why it makes a great story though. 


When Gingerella returned, she had multiple factors going against her. 

The Othawas still had very young cubs which can be a source of conflict even between pride members. So they would be wary of her. She would also be pretty wary of the Tumbellas, who in turn would be on edge around her. 
It also didn't help that at the time Gingerella was followed by one of her brothers. Who already was far to old to be accepted by the Othawas and would be seen as a rival by the Tumbellas. He quickly disappeared after returning so her attempts of reconciliation may very well have ended with her own brother being killed right in front of her. That's a pretty good incentive to avoid your natal pride if there was one. 

Given enough time. She may have integrated with the pride again. But the Ximhungwes beat them by befriending her first. Reply
