Werepanther

Werepanther image 1

A beautiful panther enjoyed mocking the other animals in the jungle
When she mocked Anansi, he turned her into a human;
He would only turn her back if she built the great city of Kara Digi for him
She married the Oba of the Houka tribe, by whom she had many children
Once the city was built, Anansi turned her back into a panther
However, the Panther Queen now found that she missed her children
She begged Anansi to turn them into panthers as well,
He agreed to let her have one, she chose her eldest son
This displeased Anansi, who had wished to keep the youth to himself;
He lied to her son, & sent him out to hunt the Panther Queen
But when he saw her, he realized the truth about her motives
He willingly agreed to become a panther, & Anansi changed him into one

Fara Maku
Tea Gora

Humans who could transform into panthers by means of magic
Fara Maku fell in love with Tea Gora, She planned to leave so he sought Anansi
Maku made a pact with him, asking the spider to turn him into a werepanther,
So that he could do the same for Tea, and vowing in return to hunt for him
When she learned what he had done, she hunted him down for revenge,
In the city of Kara Digi, Fara Maku learned how selfish his behavior had been
After defeating Anansi, he realized that he must atone for his earlier acts
He & Tea, still werepanthers, now serve as protector-figures in Nigeria
