Ooh, Kiara going to be so impressed with how I hunt those gazelles!
―By Tiifu, trying to impress her best friend, Kiara.

Tiifu is an African lioness. She is a huntress of the Pridelands. She is also a member of Simba’s Pride. She is the daughter of Hasnaa and Alix, the twin sister of Zuri, the mate of Imara, and the adopted mother of Kimba. She is also one of Princess Kiara’s best friends.


Description[]

She has cream fur, olive green eyes and dark pink nose. Her muzzle, underbelly and paws are a lighter colour. Her ears are rimmed with pale cream and dusky brown. She has pink flecks under her eyes. Her muzzle is small, and she had a lithe build.


Personality[]

Tiifu is very kind, sincere and sympathetic, and has a caring spirit. She shows great concern for her friends, as shown when her friend Zuri wounds herself and when her other friend Kiara becomes trapped amongst a stampede of gazelles. She is rather curious, going so far as to ask questions, even after being warned against doing so[1]. She admires Kiara and holds Kiara's title as future Queen in high regard.[2]

Tiifu is shown to be slightly snarky, petulant, oppressive, cantankerous and domineering at times, especially when defending or showing loyalty towards her friend, Kiara[3]. She greatly enjoys hunting practice and is very enthusiastic about pleasing Nala, Kiara, or Kion and can be somewhat proprietorial and possessive over her friendship with Kiara[4]. She tends to be laid back in dangerous situations, but can be serious when she needs to be. Tiifu also enjoys looking her best, but not as much as Zuri does.

In The Underground Adventure, Tiifu was scared of the dark when being underground, causing her to panic and yet she takes pleasure in being comforted and encouraged by friends. After their adventure, she no longer is afraid of the dark and showed bravery and calmness when helping Thurston.

As seen in The Queen's Visit, Tiifu likes it very much to be in the presence of royalty. The idea of becoming a royal guard for the zebra queen, Dhahabu intrigues and excites her. She is there as well when Kiara gives the Queen a tour around the Pride Lands. When facing danger and trying to protect Dhahabu, she realizes, that her true loyalty lies with her best friend, Kiara. In the end, she could never leave her alone, as she will be future Queen of the Pride Lands it has to be her job to help her be a good one. Therefore she declines the role of Queen Dhahabu's permanent royal guard and stays by Kiara's side.
