I decided I'd go for a lioness as my first character because, as I recall, a lot of these kinds of MUCKs tend to have an overabundance of male lions and orphan cubs in comparison with lionesses, and given how popular lions are it should be easy to RP.
I name my first character Dhabumoyo ... its a mangling of the Swahili words for gold (dhahabu) and heart (moyo) (I use africanlanguages.com/swahili for a dictionary translation of the words).
She's going to be a young adult lioness, having just come of age. I envision her as disliking conflict, whether between herself and a pridemate or even just two bickering pridemates. She feels a drive to soothe conflicts, and she has a penchant for knowing "the little things" about each of her pridemates so that she can sort of romance each of them to give them special joy now and then ... knowing where each's waried spots are ripe for massages, or the particular tastes of each in terms of what their favorite meat is to hunt now and then for them on her own as a gift for them.
She has no real aims to be queen leader ... she is content with just being part of the pride and lending her strong heart to keep her pride vibrant and unified.
