Afua is a male lion. He is the mate of Spotty, the father of Tani, and a cubhood friend of Kopa.
Physical appearance[]
Afua is a pale-colored male lion with a black mane. As a cub, he had tufts of hair on his ears, but that went away as he aged. He has blue eyes, a dark pink nose, and the inside of his ears are gray.
Personality[]
As a cub, Afua was more playful and outgoing, willing to make new friends. But as a teen and young adult, he learned how to be more serious, thus becoming shyer, introverted, and somewhat nervous. He slowly outgrew his shyness and is now much more social and friendly.
Biography[]
Afua was best friends with Kopa as a cub. After Kopa ran away, however, Afua spent more time with his father's pride, and became less playful. He learned the harshness of surviving and became less friendly, only with those close to him.
When he heard of Kopa's return to Simba's Pride, Afua made the trip to reunite with his old friend. He was pleased to see him again, and to meet Kopa's new mate, Vitani.
While there, Afua was noticed by Spotty, the sister of his brother Kondo's mate. She took a liking to him right away, and although he was weirded out by this at first, Afua was soon glad to receive love and affection from someone. The two became mates in a few months, and had one daughter, Tani, who became a bit of a troublemaker.
Canon Info[]
Afua lived in the Pride Lands as a member of Simba's pride. One day, he met and befriended Beba, a cheetah cub, and began comparing him to Kopa, causing Kopa to feel upset. The two friends had a falling out, and Kopa was sad about it until Timon and Pumbaa encouraged him to make amends with his friend.
Trivia[]
- Afua gets his lighter coloring from his mother.
- He highly resembled his father Malka as a cub.
- Afua's original role in Caldafox's fanfics was to be the father of Nadim, the troublesome rogue lion. Things were switched up to what they are now because, if Afua was Nadim's father, Nadim would be too young to have his own family already, and Afua's mate would be too mysterious.
- His name means "pardon", "save", or "cure", in Swahili.
