Personality[]
As a pup, Phaona at first didn't like lions since he heard they're top predators by his father, but when a clan of rogue striped hyenas tried to harm him, King Kion appeared and saved him, Phaona thanked him in graditude. King Kion and Queen Rani offered him and his pack to live in the Tree of Life as Phaona gladly accepted their offer since he respected the Circle of Life and hates wolves that didn't and reforms to them as traitors for choosing a dark path and giving his kind a bad name, to which Rani believes that and welcomed him into the Tree of Life.
Phaona would do anything to keep his pack safe from danger and often seemed to keep Kion and Rani's cubs Janna and Kosi safe from danger and referred as the Cub-Sitter for his tendency of watching over young cubs and has a soft spot for cubs, including his pups and likes to play with them. He is a loving mate and caring father to his family and is a good-hearted leader.
He is very respectful and loyal to Kion and Rani since they're the king and queen and seems to very kind and welcoming to them and seems to be close with Kion for saving his life and pays his debt to them as he likes to keep Janna and Kosi safe from any danger and will attack to protect them no matter what.
For some reason, he has seems to have a dislike for hyenas, especially the striped hyenas of Hundar and his clan due to the ancient rivalry between his kind and theirs from his desert homeland.
