Wajinga

“Watch how you speak to your elders, young cub.”

Wajinga, to Janja

Wajinga is a young adult hyena in The Lion Guard: A New Era.  He is the oldest member of Janja’s clan and an elite hunter. Because of his age, he is often defiant toward Janja, and his mouth often gets him in trouble. He has a quick temper, but is fierce in battle and proves to be a worthy member of the clan.

Appearance
Wajinga is a mix of a spotted and striped hyena with stripes along his back and a few spots near his neck. He has a long, luxurious mane and a tan underbelly. Wajinga’s eyes are bright blue in color. Wajinga often wears a sinister smile, which shows his devious nature.

History
Wajinga was born to a female hyena within the Heshima Clan. When he got old enough to hunt, he became obsessed with food, often taking down more animals than he could eat simply for the fun of it. Wajinga was exiled from the clan and shortly after joined Janja’s Clan, who promised him ‘an all you can eat buffet’.
