Mufasa (Sapphirejas’s Semi Canon)

King Mufasa was a male, half African and Asiatic lion and a king of the Pridelands. He is a Great King of the Past. King Mufasa was the son of King Ahadi and Queen Uru, the brother of King Scar (Askari II), the mate of Queen Sarabi and the father of King Simba. 
== Description ==
Mufasa as a teenager, had orange fur, scarlet red mane, red eyes and pink nose. His underbelly, muzzle and paws were lighter in colour. He lacks ear rims. His muzzle is very large, and he had a stocky build.
As an adult, Mufasa’s nose is brown.
As a Great Lion of the Past, Mufasa has a transparent appearance, and had regained his pink nose.
== Personality ==
According to Scar's memory, as an adolescent, Mufasa is more playful in nature. However, his cheeky personality leads him to unintentionally hurt others' feelings, such as when he playfully nicknames his younger brother "Scar" after he receives an eye injury.
As an adult, Mufasa grows in maturity and regality, becoming a symbol of power who instills respect in every creature, even his enemies, the hyenas. His physical strength is not his only symbol of power, for his very voice and manner is often enough to draw the attention of his subjects, most often his son Simba and his majordomo Zazu. In addition to physically playing the role of king, Mufasa has a manner that demands respect. The king does not stand for disrespect, as seen when he challenges his brother for not attending the presentation of Simba.
Despite his strong exterior, Mufasa is kind at heart and playful, showing respect for all the creatures, even those who are perceived as lower than himself. He is not strictly business, often playing games with his majordomo Zazu, and is unafraid of showing affection, as seen when he greets Rafiki with a hug prior to the presentation of Simba. In family life, Mufasa is just as soft-hearted, treating his mate Sarabi with gentle respect and treating his son fairly, even when the cub deliberately disobeys his parents' instructions.
As a king and a father, Mufasa is instructive and wise, borne down by years of experience and instruction. His rule over the Pride Lands results in a period of prosperity, reflecting his reasonable and responsible approach to kingship. His lessons leave a deep imprint on Simba, who learns from his father that every creature must be respected in order for balance to be maintained. In addition to understanding natural balance, Mufasa understands the workings of a family, keeping his mate and son as well as his pride in steady paws.
Mufasa's wisdom is reinforced by his eternal bravery, seen from his first tussle with the hyenas to his final stand against a stampede of wildebeests. To Simba, he explains that he is only brave when the situation demands it, showing Mufasa to be rational enough to know when interference is needed. If his family is endangered, Mufasa exposes his protective side, ready to throw himself into danger in order to keep those he loves safe. Ultimately, he is willing to sacrifice his life for his family, proving his love to be stronger for his family than for himself.
Despite being killed by Scar, Mufasa does not hold a grudge against the Outsiders who were loyal to his brother, and even attempts to unite the prides through the union of his granddaughter, Kiara, and Scar's adoptive son, Kovu. This shows his forgiving nature, as he does not allow the tragedy that happened to him to cloud his better judgment. This is further supported when he does not harbor any ill feelings toward his grandson Kion when he sports a facial wound similar to Scar's. This reveals that Mufasa does not allow his own death at the claws of Scar to outshine his love for his family members.
Mufasa, as a Great Lion of the Past, is very wise and mature. His grandson, Kion, often spoke to him when he is down, upset or confused. He tells his grandson, wise words, that well help with his situation he currently had.
