Takeru. A young meerkat, was born during the time period of Scar's dictatorship of the pride lands. He is one of the top workers in the digging crew of the meerkat colony. But even though he has a strong talent for digging he is not liked by many of the other meerkats simply because he is shy, qiuet, and nice. Making him easy to pick on and tease because he wont do anything to stick up for himself. No matter what happens he tries to keep a smile on his face, even though deep down the tension and stress is building and when he reaches the breaking point....
The only bloodline family Tak has is his cousin Zephyr, who is his only close companion. And Zephyrs mom. His father was killed before he was born in a tunnel collapse, and his mother died during a surprise raid by some hyenas. Leaving him orphaned in his aunts care.
Takeru though being quiet has a nack for getting into trouble. Always seeming to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Also a cause of the matter would be that he likes to explore above ground. And has great interest in traveling someday to the "big pointy rock" off in the distance of the colony.

Zephyr is pretty much the complete opposite of his little cousin Tak. He is rude, rebellious, and hates doing any form of work whatsoever. His arrogance goes to the extent that he once, on sentry duty, threw rocks at a group of hyenas he spotted taunting, and running from them for 10 minutes before warning the colony of their presence.
Zephyr many a time has come to his cousin's aid while he was being bullied by the other meerkats. Determined to protect Tak as much as he can. Though he cant protect him forever.
