== History ==
Akili was seen as the more mischievous out of the three cubs. One day, she suggested going to the Elephant Graveyard. When Giza gets nervous and asks why, Akili calls him a coward and rushes off. Kidogo follows, Giza chases Kidogo. When they got there, Akili saw an adult hyena which picked her up and started tossing her around. Kovu appears and gets rid of the hyenas. He starts scolding Kidogo, the oldest, for not following him. Kidogo says that it was Akili’s fault. 
Soon Kidogo sneaks off at night. Akili notices but falls asleep again, but not before noticing Giza sneaking off after him. 
Akili, as a teen, starts to respect her family. She is chosen to be the Lion Guard leader, Vitani saying she doesn’t mind now. As leader, Akili spends lots of time in the lands. Once, she was by the gorge. There was a stampede going on. On the side was Giza, trying to claw up. Kidogo stopped him in his tracks. There were some lines of dialogue before Kidogo lets go and watches Giza fall. Akili rushes to her parents, who follow her to the gorge. Kidogo was exiled. 
Akili handed her position in the Lion Guard back to Vitani, ready to become the heir. Some years pass, and Dakika and Kubwa the hyenas tell Akili Kidogo’s plan to kill the Pride Landers. When Akili asks why Kidogo’s plan is like Scar’s, Dakika just shrugs and says that Kidogo was doing it for revenge. 
Akili fights Kidogo in the Outlands, finally making him see sense after some dialogue. Kidogo returns home, the heir, Akili following. 
Some time later, Akili has a mate called Tumaini and a son, who she respectfully called Simba, after her grandfather who had died some time before his birth.

Akili and Kovu 
Akili has a very passionate father-daughter relationship. She tries not to get in trouble with him, and seeks guidance from him from time to time. 
Akili and Kidogo 
Akili never got along with her older brother as a teen. However she knows he is good, and is the only family member who knows this. As a cub, Akili was always challenging the pompous, proud, vain Kidogo. 
Akili and Giza 
Akili got on like a forest fire with Giza. The two loved each other dearly and each saw the other as a good friend. Akili mocked Giza for being a coward from time to time, often having Kidogo pay for it. 
Akili and Simba (Grandfather) 
Akili loved spending time with her grandfather growing up. As a teen, not so much. However as an adult, she still respected him.
Akili and Simba (Son) 
Akili and Simba have a budding relationship, and spend a lot of time with each other. If there’s one thing Akili has passed down from her family, it was the old He Lives In You, since Simba is a lot like his great-grandfather and Mufasa, as well as Mohatu.
