Natasai, Vanilla's mother, felt something. She knew the baby was coming. She immediateley raced over to their shelter and Vanilla was born. She yelled, "KING!" King was Vanilla's father. He looked over, watermelon juice on his face. He ran over, and saw a little grey lump next to her. "I have a kid!!"
He cheered.

The people watching her were cheering and laughing. Natasai was the highest ranked animal at the zoo at that time, so everyone was seeing the future star of the zoo. Natty was ambitious and energetic, and that passed down to her spunky daughter. She was a new, proud mama!!
As Vanilla grew up she figured out that there was another mom - to - be in the elephant habitat. Jenny was pregnant with Vanilla's brother! They had the same father.

One day, Vanilla woke up form a nap and everyone was gathered around Jenny. She had a little lump next to her that seemed to be alive! What is going on? Is Jennny sick? Dead?? Vanilla thought.
She went over, and that lump was her baby brother, and his tired mama.

Rain was Vanilla's new brother, and they bonded a lot. They ate together, slept together, even swam togrther! But Vanilla saw her own mom, Natasai, grow tense. She asked her, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Natasai said, "Honey, I am going to escape to africa today." All of a sudden, she saw her own mom bust through the walls and break everything in her path. She was about to leap out of the fence that surrounds the zoo, until she got hit with a sleep dart. She woke up back in her enclosure.

"Are you ok, mom?" Natasai heard. She woke up to see her worried kids. She reasurred them that she was ok, and told them it was lunchtime. "Vanilla, i will try tomorrow, ok?" Vanilla was shot with fear. "o- ok." She said, trembling. She did do the same thing tomorrow, and failed... again.

Natasai got sent to another zoo, because they couldn't handle her there. Vanilla was deveastated.
Jenny promised to take care of Vanilla for her. Every night after that, Vanilla slept where her mom used to sleep, Just to smell her scent.

Vanilla is living her best life at Animal Spirit Zoo, and is a big hit with the people. She is a fan favorite, and loves swimming. Even though her life is great, she still carries the sorrow of losing her mother to her acting out.
