Canon Characters

This is an article for canon characters as well as semi-canon characters. Canon or semi-canon characters are characters who appear in official media related to The Lion King. If you want to add information about a canon character, add it here.

Banzai
Banzai is a member of Shenzi's Clan. He is a supporting antagonist in The Lion King.

Appearance
Banzai displays the typical anatomy observed in an adult hyena. He is the closest of the trio to matching the rest of the clan in appearance, having the same body shape, hairless head, and receding black mane. Banzai has black eyes with yellow irises.

Personality
Banzai's personality contrasts greatly with that of Scar, as he serves as a less intelligent and serious companion. His comical nature manages to shine through in every situation, which exposes his need for a good laugh, and his inability to take Scar's plot seriously.

However, when driven by survival needs, such as hunger or power, Banzai can be dangerous, prone to blindly following the orders of others. Though often used for jokes and stupid antics, Banzai's high energy is more disastrous than it seems.

Despite his more dangerous side, Banzai assumes the role of a follower, rarely taking action on his own. He works in the background, a crony, always following either Scar's or Shenzi's orders. Of all the hyenas, Banzai suffers the most, both physically and socially, often serving as the butt-end of the trio's teasing.

Mufasa
Mufasa is the secondary deuteragonist of The Lion King, a minor character in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and a major character in The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar and its following TV series The Lion Guard. He is Simba's father, Sarabi's mate, Scar's older brother, Ahadi and Uru's eldest son and king of the Pride Lands at the start of the film.

Appearance
Mufasa is a large, powerful male lion with distinctive golden-yellow fur inherited from his father, Ahadi, which he passes on to his son Simba. He is given broad shoulders and a pronounced jaw to make him seem king-like and the most powerful lion, according to his animators.

Personality
Despite his strong exterior, Mufasa is kind at heart and playful, showing respect for all the creatures, even those who are perceived as lower than himself. He is not strictly business, often playing games with his majordomo Zazu, and is unafraid of showing affection, as seen when he greets Rafiki with a hug prior to the presentation of Simba. In family life, Mufasa is just as soft-hearted, treating his mate with gentle respect and treating his son fairly, even when the cub deliberately disobeys his parents' instruction.

Mufasa's wisdom is reinforced by his eternal bravery, seen from his first tussle with the hyenas to his final stand against a stampede of wildebeests. To Simba, he explains that he is only brave when the situation demands it, showing Mufasa to be rational with courage and level-headed enough to know when interference is needed. If his family is endangered, Mufasa exposes his protective side, ready to throw himself into danger in order to keep those he loves safe. Ultimately, he is willing to sacrifice his life for his family, proving his love to be stronger for his family than for himsel

Nala
Nala is the deuteragonist of The Lion King, a secondary tritagonist of The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, a minor character in The Lion King 1 1/2 and The Lion Guard: Return Of The Roar. She is the queen of the Pride Lands and the mate of Simba.

Appearance
As a cub, Nala is small and lithe with soft features. Her fur is colored a light tawny, while her muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all paler in contrast. Unlike most cubs her age, her paws are the same hue as her primary fur color, and her eye rims are lighter than her main pelt. Her eyebrows are also much thinner than those of her fellow cub, Simba, and her inner ears and the tip of her tail are brown in color. Her eyes appear to be glaucous green, though they change to teal in certain light, and her nose is pink. Unusually, the area between the bottom of her eye and her eyebrow is lighter in color than her main fur color, with the area beneath it being even paler.

Come young adulthood, Nala looks almost identical to her mother Sarafina. Her body has filled out to become sleeker and stronger, fitting the physique of a practiced hunter. She also proves herself to be exceptionally strong, able to hold her own against the much larger Simba, even managing to pin him on his back. Her fur darkens to an even tawny. She has brown paw pads and her nose is now dark pink-brown. The fur on her chin is shorter and smoother, though still slightly scruffy.

As a fully grown adult and queen, Nala's colors have been shown as either paling or continuing to grow darker. Her eyes become more blue, having been depicted as shifting to bright sky blue or teal, and she fills out, growing smoother and more muscular in stature.

Personality
As a cub, Nala is playful, spirited, and spunky. She and Simba are best friends, and the two are nearly inseparable. Unknown to them, they are betrothed at an early age, and both agree that friends marrying each other is too weird once they discover this fact.

As a young adult, Nala matures into a determined and assertive young lioness. Simba remarks that her words remind him of his wise father's, albeit in a derogatory manner. In the sequel, Nala has become much more mild-mannered and motherly. She acts as the voice of reason to Simba, who is now being very protective of Kiara, and reminds him that their daughter Kiara would be fine. She also is less judgmental than Simba, and is often able to persuade him to have more faith in their cubs.

Pumbaa
Pumbaa is a male warthog in The Lion King, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, The Lion King 1½, The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa, and The Lion Guard.

Appearance
Pumbaa has a smooth russet red coat with a mane of short black hair sprouting from his head and running down his neck. The tuft of hair at the end of his tail is also black in color. He is a large, well-built animal with a huge, round lower jaw and two ivory-colored tusks protruding from his upper jaw. Pumbaa's nose and inner ears are pink, and his small eyes are black with yellow sclerae.

Personality
Due to his friendly, loyal, and protective personality, Pumbaa is generally regarded as a very likable character. However, he displays childlike naivety which is sometimes confused for stupidity. He does, in fact, come up with some intelligent plans and insightful ideas, which Timon rapidly claims as his own.

Pumbaa is also kind and caring, as shown when he, unlike Timon, takes pity on Simba and is quick to offer his assistance to the young cub. In The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, he jumps into a rather shallow body of water to save a supposedly drowning Kiara and offers assistance to a badly injured Simba, carrying him all the way back to Pride Rock after an unexpected ambush with the Outsiders. In addition, Pumbaa appears to be polite to those who are friendly, as shown when he greets Nala right after Simba introduces him to her, despite the fact that Nala had tried to eat him a few minutes earlier. Notwithstanding, he expects respect from his enemies, which indicates when he attack Banzai after he is addressed on a "pig."

Sarafina
Sarafina is a minor character in the The Lion King. She is the mother of Nala.

Appearance
Almost identical to her daughter in appearance, Sarafina is long-bodied and lithe with strong limbs and a groomed pelt. Her fur is tawny, while her muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all paler in color. The tip of her nose appears to be a shade paler than her main pelt, with both her upper and lower eye shades being light in color. Her paws are the same color as her primary fur color, and her eyes are apple-green.

Personality
Though Sarafina's personality is not explored in the film, it is developed in books inspired by the film, which reveal her to be a protective mother with a good amount of sense and resourcefulness. She can be fairly easygoing with her daughter when times are good, but when danger runs rampant, Sarafina is sure to be guiding Nala to safety.

Scar
Scar is the main antagonist of The Lion King. He is the former king of the Pride Lands and the brother of Mufasa.

Appearance
Thin and slender, with sharp features and skinny legs, Scar is the physical opposite of his brother. He is taller than the lionesses in the pride, though shorter than Mufasa. His movements are all sleek and snakelike; he was intentionally designed this way. He has burnt rusty orange fur, with pale tan areas on his paws, muzzle, and underbelly. His eyes are bright green. Scar's narrow nose and sharp claws are black. A pink scar runs through his left eye.

Personality
Scar is devious and cunning, thinking up schemes to secure himself power. He shies away from physical challenges that he knows he cannot win, but will nevertheless fight when he must. He goes to any lengths to achieving what he wants, even allying himself with hyenas, which he finds to be idiotic. He is power-hungry and persistent, but is a poor authority figure, as he cares not for the lands or lionesses he rules. Once he has what he wants, Scar becomes indolent and unwilling to solve the issues ravaging the Pride Lands. He believes that kings may do whatever they like, and has a tendency to blame others when things go wrong rather than accepting the truth.

Shenzi
Shenzi is a character that appears in The Lion King.

Appearances in Fanfiction
Here are all the fanfictions that this character makes an appearance in that are on this wiki:

Simba
Simba is the main protagonist of The Lion Kingand the tritagonist of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, a supporting character in The Lion King 1½, The Lion Guard: Return Of The Roar, and The Lion Guard. He is the rightful king of the Pride Lands and the father of two children, Kion and Kiara, in addition to a third, unofficial cub; Kopa.

Appearance
Simba resembles both of his parents in different ways. From Mufasa, he inherited his strong build and pelt coloration, as both lions are gold with red manes though Simba's mane is a paler shade of vermilion. From his mother, Simba inherited dark ear rims (though he loses these when he reaches adulthood) and his general facial features, as they are noticeably less square than Mufasa's. He has five whiskers on either side of his muzzle. As a cub, the tuft at the end of his tail is brown, but come adulthood, it shifts into the same red hue as his mane.

His eyes are vermilion, though they sometimes appear orange. His nose is pink, unlike those of his parents. He has relatively small, pointed ears, with darker orange inner ears. As is typical of Pride Lander lions, the areas between Simba's eyes and his eyebrows are darker than his main fur color, and the area beneath each eye is lighter.

As Simba grows older, his fur becomes darker, and his mane becomes more full. His nose is darker and more blue-tinted, causing it to be a shade of purple, and his eyes are a more dull and reddish shade of scarlet. He is larger and sturdier with a wider face, likening his resemblance to his father Mufasa even further. His inner ears are darker, his mane is smoother, and his brown whiskers are longer. The fur on his muzzle, paws, and underbelly is still paler than his fur color, but is considerably less saturated. In addition, his eyebrows are slightly thicker.

Personality
As a cub, Simba was playful and always ready for an adventure with his best friend, Nala. He tried to see the best in everyone, even his uncle Scar. At times, he could be a show-off and arrogant, and boasted that he will be the greatest king ever, which often got himself and Nala into danger. In spite of this, he came to see the fault in his actions and always learned from his mistakes.

As an adolescent, Simba picks up a happy, carefree lifestyle, thinking nothing of his responsibilities back home. In addition, Simba's vocabulary changes moderately (as he now says "Father" instead of "Dad" and "Scar" instead of "Uncle Scar"). In the jungle, he develops somewhat grotesque habits, burping and eating bugs alongside his lazy companions. No longer the respected prince of the Pride Lands, Simba becomes sedentary and stubbornly refuting of his past life. Having been tainted in mind by his well-meaning friends, Simba no longer sees the need to help others and would rather lock himself away in bliss than face reality.

Despite his guilt-ridden conscience, Simba is forced into maturity when he has to face his past, holding himself accountable to the land he once swore to defend. Once accepting of his duties, he becomes a new character, stronger in will than before. Unlike the old Simba, who would rather avoid an argument, this new Simba does not tolerate being bullied and refuses to stand for abuse, being particularly defensive of his mother. When challenged, Simba becomes rough around the edges, determined to have his way and unwilling to stand for compromise. No longer an innocent cub, he is brave when he has to be, standing up for his land and his pride.

Once a full-grown adult and a father, Simba has matured to a new level, now totally fixated on his duties as a king and a father. For all his benevolence and inherent goodness, Simba is not without fault, as he is overprotective of his daughter Kiara, willing to break a promise to her in order to keep her safe. In this way, Simba shows that he does not fully respect his daughter, seeing himself as the older and wiser pride member. Thinking himself to know better, he often becomes blind to the outside world, focusing only on his family and their safety. In doing so, he comes to harm those around him. He also is protective over his son, Kion, even doubting his choices for the new Lion Guard.

Timon
Timon is a meerkat in The Lion King and The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. He is one of the two protagonists in The Lion King 1½ and The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa, as well as a supporting character in The Lion Guard.

Appearance
Tall and thin, Timon is accustomed to digging and scurrying, a lifestyle which has made him into a physically fit tunneler. His fur is pale mahogany, broken only by five darker stripes on his back and cream hair on his underbelly and muzzle. He has longer fur on his elbows and chest, but it is for the most part short and smooth. Timon has a dark brown tail tip, ears, and toes, with his round, glossy nose being even darker in color. The hairs on his head are relatively short and scruffy, bright red in color. Like most meerkats, his eyes are black, though he has been pictured with brown irises.

Personality
Timon lives by the philosophy 'hakuna matata', meaning 'no worries'. He feels that if the word "turns its back on you", one should turn their back on the world. He loves grubs, particularly Utamu.

Though Timon lives a careless life, he nevertheless is brave and loyal, willing to serve as live bait for a clan of hyenas in order to help his friend Simba. He thinks of things in a relatively practical manner, and has adopted two different young animals only because he believes them to be or have potential to be useful. He rarely leaves the side of his pal Pumbaa, and is willing to risk his life in order to save him. Nevertheless, he has a tendency to dismiss Pumbaa's ideas and then present them as his own. He is wisecracking and somewhat mischievous.

Zazu
Zazu is a supporting character in The Lion King franchise. He serves as the majordomo to the Lion King.

Appearance
Zazu is a blue red-billed hornbill with a white underbelly and a large, smooth, glossy scarlet and gold beak. His eyelids are sky blue, and he has bushy black eyebrows. Darker blue feathers are present at the tips of his tail and wings, and three individual darker blue feathers stick up from the back of his head. Zazu has large eyes and a small body in comparison to his head.

Personality
As majordomo to King Mufasa, his proper, dignified, nervous, and easily-rattled personality is the polar opposite in temperament of Simba and Nala. He tends to panic during emergencies, such as the wildebeest stampede. As a youngster, Zazu was incompetent, talkative nuisance, but soon learns to distinguish between what's real news and what's not, though he's not above some gossip. Despite his size, he's rather snobby and looks down on lowlifes, and is not afraid to use his dry, biting wit, and is a very loyal friend and servant to the royal family. However, Zazu also has a joking, somewhat morbid sense of humor that occasionally surfaces. He is proud to serve and report to the ruler of Pride Rock.

Kiara
Kiara is the daughter of Simba and Nala. She is the main protagonist of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and a supporting character in The Lion Guard.

Appearance
As a cub, Kiara is small and soft-featured, less robust and stocky than her father but just as lithe and sleek as her mother. Kiara's pelt is of a more golden tone, like that of her father's, but it is tempered by the creamy hues of her mother. As a result, she isn't as rich a gold as her father or grandfather. Her muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all paler in color, while her tail tuft is creamy brown in color. Her eyes are red-brown with bright yellow sclerae, with a dark magenta nose.

Come young adulthood, Kiara has grown into a young lioness, though she remains small in size, only coming up to her father's chest and her mother's shoulder. She is easily dwarfed in size by Kovu, who is roughly the same age as she is, and proves to be one of the smallest, if not the smallest lioness in her pride. Despite this, she proves herself to be agile and swift, able to keep pace with a herd of topiand haul herself over the edge of a steep cliff during a fire. Unlike most Pride Landers, Kiara remains the same light shade from her cubhood, not darkening with age as her parents did, though this could be attributed to her not being a full-grown adult yet. From cubhood to young adulthood, Kiara remains the same as far as coloration goes.

Personality
As a cub, Kiara is curious and wild-hearted, constantly seeking new adventures and easily fraught at the sight of her safe nest back home in the Pride Lands. Her hunger for adventure often leads her to outright rebellion, as she continuously disobeys her parents, purposefully ignoring their better judgment in order to explore the Outlands and get answers to her unresolved questions. This deliberate disobedience echoes her father's mistakes in the first film, though Kiara does not show as much remorse as Simba once did, instead insisting on disobedience, a trait which carries into her young adult life.

When Kiara is an older cub, she becomes far more responsible. She develops an interest in being the queen of the Pride Lands, and tends to think things through more logically, though she can still make rash decisions.

As a young adult, Kiara remains almost identical to her cub self in personality. Still wild at heart, she longs to escape her father's overprotective wing, proving herself to be even more determined than ever to gain independence. In doing so, Kiara often rejects the truth, wanting to make herself seem as though everything is in her control. Despite her headstrong ways, Kiara is also caring and fun-loving. She is forgiving and kind, willing to look past differences to do what she believes to be right.

Kovu
Kovu is the chosen heir of Scar who defies the Outsiders after falling in love with Kiara.

Appearance
Kovu is noted by many to bear a strong resemblance to Scar, especially after his face is scarred, despite not being related to him. As a cub, Kovu has dark rims marking his ears, but he loses these come adolescence. He bears a dark tuft of hair that will eventually grow into a mane.

Personality
Having grown up under the care of the scheming Zira, Kovu is aggressive and crude, even as a cub. Upon first meeting Kiara, his first reaction is to snarl a challenge, and the only game he appears to understand is play-fighting. His violent tendencies are reinforced by a knack for taking care of himself, as he is physically fit and an able hunter, two features that make way for his more arrogant and cocky side. Even as a cub, Kovu strives to please and takes no shame in showing off to the more innocent Kiara. However, when faced by his mother, Kovu is submissive and prone to showing his softer side, exposing a desire to befriend and treat kindly the new cub he has just met.

After meeting Kiara again as a young adult, Kovu begins to cave to his inner good, proving himself to enjoy laughter and good times. His dark side occasionally slips in, as seen when he can only pinpoint violent pictures among the stars, and his ties to Scar and his mother continuously bog him down. He does ultimately choose to betray his pride, revealing that even years of evil and violence cannot destroy the kindness in his heart. He becomes gentler with Kiara and more respectful of her, no longer mocking her for that which she cannot do. Having shown his good side, Kovu matures into a character who is always willing to do the right thing, even if it means disappointing those he loves.

The Dark Roar Returns

Nuka
Nuka is the son of Zira and the older brother of Vitani and Kovu.

Appearance
Nuka is first seen as an adolescent, with a ragged, half-grown dusty black mane and beard. Tufts of hair, the same color as his mane, sprout within his ears. In the light of sunset, his fur is a soft rust color. His eyes are red, with dark rims, and his angular nose is black. The fur on his cheeks is long and sticks out to the side. His muzzle, paws, and underbelly look to be a light tan color. Three scraggly brown whiskers are present on either side of his face.

As an adult, Nuka is depicted in natural lighting for the first time. His fur is gray-brown, and his mane has grown in more, though it remains short and un-groomed. Though thin and plagued by termites due to his upbringing in the Outlands, Nuka is nevertheless relatively strong, with the ability to leap great distances.

Personality
Nuka always strives to please his mother, Zira, desiring her approval and attention. He is jealous of his brother Kovu for having been chosen by Scar as his heir, and his relationship with his sister Vitani is also rather bitter, though she was saddened by his death. Nuka believes he could be a leader if Zira would give him a chance.

Vitani
Vitani is the daughter of Zira, and the sister of Kovu and Nuka.

Appearance
Vitani is an Outsider lioness, and therefore bears a sharply angled nose and dark areas below and above her eyes. She has scruffy, dusty golden-brown fur, with a large tuft of it on her head that falls down onto her face. This attribute is much larger when Vitani is a cub, though it is still present when she grows older, it recedes so that it is less noticable. Her eyes are a vivid shade of blue, though they can shift color to pale violet or bright red in certain lightings. Upon reaching adulthood, Vitani develops dark rims on her inner ears and freckles on her muzzle, which were not present when she was younger. She has dark eyebrows that grow to be bushier as she gets older. She is very thin, likely the result of the Outlands' harsh conditions, but is also exceptionally strong.

Personality
Vitani is, in most cases, a follower rather than a leader, frequently doing as she is told by her mother Zira. Even as a cub, she scolds her brother Nuka for disobeying Zira and leaving their brother Kovu alone, displaying both loyalty to Zira and concern for Kovu's well-being. She has a mocking nature that occasionally makes itself known through taunts and teasing both as a cub and an adult. Vitani clearly enjoys fighting, as she invites her younger brother to engage in conflict and always battles with a smile on her face. She shows no hesitance in reporting her brother's wrongdoing, which indicates that she is usually loyal to those who are on her side, but thinks little of traitors. Despite these more harsh aspects of her personality, Vitani knows when to stand up for what is right and will willingly defy whomever has been commanding her. A bold warrior, she is willing to take on lions with far more experience than she. Despite this, she eventually comes to realize that after fighting for so long, enough is enough.

Zira
Zira is the mother of Nuka, Vitani, and Kovu.

Appearance
Zira is a thin lioness with a long face and an angular build. Her scruffy coat is deep tan in color, with pale creamy gray being present on her paws, muzzle, and underbelly. A darker stripe that stretches from behind her eyes to between her dark orange eyes. She has a wide black nose shaped like those of the other Outsiders, and the tuft at the end of her tail is dark. Her claws are always extended.

Personality
Relentless, vengeful, and fierce, Zira is a formidable lioness who will stop at nothing to achieve revenge. She is ferocious and merciless towards those who oppose her or have hurt her in some way. The hatred inside of her shines through even when she is with her children, training them to fight and kill. Her fiery temper leads to many harsh comments, she never seems to hold in her sharp tongue. Though she softened when her son Nuka died, she later threatened to kill her daughter Vitani for declaring that the fighting has to stop.

Ma

Appearance

She has four taupe-brown stripes marking her back, and her toes and tail-tip are neutral brown in color. She has round, dark brown ears with lighter brown inner ears. Her glossy nose and eyebrows are both chocolate-colored as well. The area around each of her dark chartreuse eyes is pinkish-brown, and her eyelids are the same color as her primary fur color. Atop her head is a scruffy patch of pink-orange fur that sticks up slightly.

Personality
Ma is a devoted and supportive mother. She is very down-to-earth about what's important and will sacrifice her time and efforts to make others happy. She is also the only meerkat who's willing to stick up for Timon when he messes up. Throughout the film, she yearns for him to fit in and be happy. When he tells her that his place is not with his colony, she reluctantly lets him leave, in hopes that he'll find a better home. But she has a very strong attachment to Timon, as she can hardly stand being parted from him. Other traits of Ma's include bravery, devotion, a willingness to help, and forgiveness. She is also known to be sassy and strong-willed at times. Throughout the film, she tries to keep Timon's hair as neat as possible.

He has three spots at the posterior end of his body, and his Mark of the Guard is imprinted on his shoulder in a pale pinkish-gray shade.

Personality
One of the most popular animals in the Pride Lands, Beshte has a kind-hearted nature that never seems to run out. His friendliness extends to everyone, as he acts like a big brother to the younger members of his herd, a friend to animals of all species, and a protector of the Pride Lands at large.Despite being a teasing character, Beshte is surprisingly sensitive, being especially tactful when his friend Kion is unable to use the Roar of the Elders. He is also the first of his friends that Kion needs some space, even beating Bunga, Kion's best friend, to realizing what the cub needs. For an animal so large and full of life, Beshte has an appropriately large heart and never fails to treat his friends with kindness

Fisi

 * Kopa: "Why is the King of the Pride Lands always a lion? And not let's say a zebra, a hare or ... or maybe an ant?" Fisi: "An interesting question..."
 * —Fisi takes interest in Kopa's musings

Fisi is a hyena featured in the story "Kampf um den Thron" or "Battle for the Throne".

Personality
Fisi is a manipulating, and scheming animal, as he forces Kesho, a cheetah, to do his bidding by surrounding him with more Hyenas and backing him into a corner (though the Cheetah does enjoy the idea of becoming King). The story mentions even some of the other hyenas don't like Fisi, and fights tend to break out whenever he's around.

Kopa
Kopa is the son of Simba and Nala in The Lion King: Six New Adventures. He is the prince of the Pride Lands and Kion and Kiara's brother.

Appearance
Like Simba, Kopa possesses a rich golden pelt broken only by patches of lighter fur on his muzzle, paws, and underbelly, though Kopa's fur is a shade lighter than his father's, being a rich yellow. Both cubs have or had a hair tuft, but Kopa's tuft is much bushier and reddish-brown in color. His tail tuft matches his head tuft in color, being somewhat bushier than his father's, and his eye rims follow the usual pattern, with the top shade being darker than his main pelt while the bottom shade is lighter. From Simba, he inherited dark ear rims and orange eyes.

Personality
Even for a young cub, Kopa is considerably innocent, not always understanding even simple figures of speech, such as "family trees." Combined with his curiosity, his limited understanding of the world prompts him into action, leading him into trouble more often than not.

Kopa's pride is in part due to his idol, Simba. Throughout the book series, Kopa makes it clear that he looks up to and adores his father, always wanting to be around him and boasting that he will one day grow up to be just like him. When Simba breaks a promise to Kopa, the cub is deeply hurt, taking the kingly decision as a deep personal blow. His attachment to his father mirrors Simba's relationship with Mufasa, rendering the two very close and almost inseparable.

Kula
Kula is a friend of Nala's who appears in Nala's Dare, the second book in ''The Lion King: Six New Adventures. ''

Appearance
Kula has anatomy similar to Nala's. Her fur is caramel-brown and her eyes are a reddish color. She has a pink nose, a pale muzzle and underbelly, and a dark brown tail-tuft.

Personality

 * Kula: "Come on, Nala, don't be a lunatic. Maybe you're thinking crazy things because you're hungry. Yeah, maybe you're light-headed from hunger." Nala: "I told you - I'm not afraid of anything. And I don't get out of dares. Chumvi thinks I'm chicken, but I'm not." Kula: "Nala, get real. That strange lion could be super dangerous." Nala: "I'll get up before dawn - before my mom gets up. And I'll look for that lion on the far side of Pride Rock." Kula: "You're nuts, crazed, psycho, unhinged! Do you hear me? Well, I guess I'll have to get up before dawn and stop you."
 * —Kula and Nala argue about Chumvi's dare

Kula is known to be very cautious, as well as concerned about the safety of others. She isn't much of a dare-devil and is against the idea of Nala talking to Ni. She is also shown to be a caring friend, as she is willing to go to extreme measures to keep Nala safe. It's also hinted at by Nala that Kula is lazy, as Nala comments that Kula has never gotten up before dawn in her life. Aside from these traits, Kula can mainly be identified by her extreme love for food; in almost any situation, she can connect feelings, sayings, and even other lions to some form of food or meal.

Mohatu
Mohatu is the King of the Pride Lands at the onset of The Brightest Star.

Appearance
Mohatu had light brown fur and a thick brown mane with a small, distinguishing curl on the right side near his forehead. He had two tufts of darker fur on both elbows and a dark brown tail tuft. His underbelly, muzzle, and paws were a light beige and his eyes were sandy-orange. As far as build goes, Mohatu greatly resembles his grandson Mufasa, although on closer inspection, he had Simba's facial features.

Personality
Mohatu was well known for being a wise king. He harbors a deep affection and loyalty towards his subjects, which was most prominent when he willingly leaves his homeland in search of a new water source for the Pride Lands.

He was a peacemaker, but could also be firm in his decisions and orders. Many animals look up to him for his bravery and strength, but will occasionally overlook him because of his peaceful nature. He was ultimately selfless and quite intelligent in his own regard.
