Jana's Mother

"...So I think I'm going to dust off Biashara, a character I created over 2 years ago for a mercifully discontinued fanfic about the hyena trio, and re-cast her as Jana's mother.
The age would need to be fixed a bit, and some relationships erased, but it would work. It's an established part of Jana's story that Banzai is her daddy but she needs a mother, and in that ancient fanfic before I abandoned it I intended Biashara to bear a cub to Banzai's brother, so it's not an extremely disruptive change to either character. Also, in the fanfic it was forecast for Biashara to be quite an unfortunate creature, while Jana's story is that the cub's mother disappears shortly before Simba returns, a demise very much in line with the old vision of Biashara. Added to this, that Biashara was a frumpy sort of hyena and not a very strong personality, I don't think adding her would effect my current cast of characters much at all, except to give Jana a mother and Rai a daughter."
Someone old for someone new?

As of the current date I haven't yet decided what exactly to do with this idea. Though I do now regard a (slightly modified) Biashara as a distinct plausibility for Jana's mother, I'm not ready to introduce/solidify any new characters just now, it's an exhausting process and that I don't feel like undertaking in the near future.
