History[]
Backstory[]
Aminifu was born during the reign of Ahadi and Uru as an only child in his mother's herd. During his childhood, he met and befriended Itanya, a young elephant in the herd, and the two became very close. As Aminifu grew, his mother soon began to teach him about leading their herd and following the Circle of Life.
Soon, he became friends with Mufasa, the heir to the throne, and welcomed him as the new king of the Pride Lands after Ahadi. He and Itanya became mates upon adulthood, and Aminifu attained leadership of his herd, leading them during the reign of Mufasa. After the death of the king, Aminifu joined the Pride Landers in leaving the territory as the hyenas began their rampage. Shortly after Simba's return and the battle against Scar and the hyenas, Aminifu was the first of the Pride Landers to return, and he and his herd helped the land recover from the devastation. Aminifu also became a father when Itanya gave birth to Ma Tembo and was very loving and proud of her. As his daughter grew, he began to pass on the knowledge of leading that he had gained from his mother. He was delighted by the marriage of Ma Tembo and Zito and the birth of their daughter, Zigo. Soon, he completed his journey in the Circle of Life due to old age.
