Kithari - Catman

Lots of interesting suggestions here, before I respond, let me post the now updated Kithari (I really should pay more attention in class :D )

Personality: Kithari value their freedom more then anything else. They are extremely loyal to their pride, though are not afraid to voice their opinion within it. Kithari love music, dance, art, and the wild lands which they roam. Generally speaking, they are a very xenophobic race, mistrusting all outside their own pride.

Physical Description: Kithari stand between 4'10" and 5'2" tall. They have slight frames, long tails, and very quick reflexes. Their bodies are covered in a thick fur with two colors, normally grey and black though other colors are not uncommon. Kithari have sharp cat-like yellow eyes. They reach adulthood at age 5 and live between 40 and 50 years.

Relations: Kithari get along well with members of their own pride very well, outside of that is another story. Most Kithari are very distrusting of other races. While this can be overcome, outsiders generally do not have the chance to win over many Kithari. Elves and Kithari have the most in common, a love of the land and a free spirit, and thus Kithari are slightly more open to them.

Alignment: Most Kithari are chaotic, enjoying life without restrictions and rules. They also tend to be good, though this varies.

Religion: Religion is rare among the Kithari. They generally worship their ancestors. If a Kithari does take up a religion, it is generally Fharlanghn or Obad-Hai.

Kithari Lands: Kithari generally have no permanent home, instead they live a nomadic life. They travel from place to place in wagons and on foot. Kithari live in pride structures that are led by a dominate male. He makes the decisions for the pride, though normally all members have a say in the decision. Typically a pride is 15 to 25 Kithari strong and are almost never larger then 50. Typically, a Kithari pride has one dominate male, 3 to 4 other adult males (which normally serve as protectors of the pride), 8 to 10 adult females, and 8 to 10 young. When a male reaches adulthood, he normally challenge for dominance of the tribe. If he fails, he is either killed or driven out of the pride by the other adult males. He will generally try to form his own pride after this. Because of this, Kithari females outnumber the males and it is very common for the dominate male to have multiple wives.
