Rani (The Lion Guard)/Relationships

The relationships of Rani from The Lion Guard.
==Family==
===Janna===
Janna is Rani's grandmother. Janna always knew the right thing to say and the right animals to welcome to the Tree of Life. When Janna passed Rani was very sad. She talked to Kion about her grandmother and she hopes to be a great queen when she's ready
===Baliyo===
Baliyo is Rani's younger brother. Rani loves her brother very much and cares a lot for him. When Kion used the Roar of the Elders on him Rani was surprised. She was happy to see that Baliyo was fine. Baliyo hates it when she calls him "little." As a result, Rani is extremely protective of her brother. 
===Surak===
Surak is Rani's uncle. All though she never called him Uncle Surak, Surak isn't like Simba's uncle Scar. Instead, he's a caring uncle and helps out Rani and the Night Pride.
===Sãhasí and Ãnanda===
Rani has a great relationship with her parents. Even though they passed away sometime during her childhood, she still talks to them. Just like Kion talks to his grandfather Mufasa, her parents give her good advice and are proud of her taking her role seriously.
===Simba and Nala===
Rani is on good terms with Simba and Nala. They attend her wedding to Kion. The wedding offically makes her their daughter-in-law. 
===Kiara and Kovu===
Rani is on good terms with Kiara and Kovu. They attend Rani and Kion's wedding; officially making Rani their sister-in-law.
==Romance==
===Kion===
Kion is Rani's mate. When they first met, Bunga accidentally caused a rockslide on the way to the Tree of Life. Their relationship started off as bad, with Rani assuming that Kion and The Lion Guard were dangerous after Kion accidentally unleashes the Roar of the Elders on Rani's brother, Baliyo. Rani was so outraged, she wanted to forbid the Lion Guard from entering the Tree of Life (and disregarded that it was Baliyo who started the fight to begin with). However, after a talk with her grandmother Queen Janna and the spirits of her parents, Rani reluctantly agrees to welcome the Guard to the Tree of Life.
However, Rani was impressed that Kion put Ono's needs before his own. In the "River of Patience", Rani brought them to her grandmother but wanted them to leave as soon as possible. However, she was still pleased when Kion helped her stop Makucha's army. After this, Rani starts to appreciate Kion and his friends. In "Long Live the Queen", Rani and Kion had really opened up to one another after the death of Queen Janna. When Rani is in tears after her grandmother's death, Kion sympathizes with her by letting her sob into his neck and comforting her even as he too shed tears. At Queen Janna's funeral, Kion and Rani console one another about their fears and end up becoming close friends. Kion smiles up at Rani when she becomes Queen of the Tree of Life. 
In "The Lake of Reflection", she distrusted Kion as a leader, but she was still worried about his healing. However, after watching Kion command both the Lion Guard and the Night Pride to fight Makucha's army in that same episode, RanI realizes that Kion is a great leader after all. "Triumph of the Roar", Rani starts showing adoration for Kion, wishing for the Roar of the Elders to be returned to the Tree of Life. She especially shows adoration for him after seeing how he single-handedly blew the bad guys away. In "Journey to the Pride Lands", Kion and Rani have a much closer friendship, which eventually blossoms into romantic love. At this point, Kion considers staying at the Tree of Life much more heavily after Rani asks him to be her king. In "Return to the Pride Lands", after giving the Roar of the Elders to Vitani (granting Kion complete mastery of the Roar in the process), Kion is able to return to the Tree of Life, where he and Rani are married and vow to rule the Tree of Life together as King and Queen.
==Friends==
===Bunga, Fuli, Beshte, Ono, and Anga===
At first, Rani thought that they were dangerous since Bunga caused a rockslide at the mountain pass leading to the Tree of Life. This was due to Bunga's obsession with honey after seeing a beehive in the mountain pass. Rani then shows them around the Tree of Life and they're all amazed by it. After helping the Night Pride fight Makucha's Army, Rani considers each of them a member of her pride. After Kion gives the role of leading the Lion Guard to Vitani, he and his friends all join the Night Pride.
===Nirmala===
Rani and Nirmala are good friends. Nirmala helps her as part of the Night Pride. Nirmala also helps to heal animals when they need it.
===Ullu===
Rani and Ullu are good friends. She alerts the Night Pride when anyone comes to the Tree of Life.
===Makini===
Makini and Rani become good friends. She becomes Rani's Royal Mjuzi while she stayed at the Tree of Life. Later, when Kion and the group need to head home, Makini stays with Rani.
==Acquaintances==
===Binga===
Rani and Binga are on good terms.
===Varya===
Varya and Rani are on good terms. Rani allows her and her cubs to stay at the Tree of Life.
==Enemies==
===Makucha's Army===
Rani and the Night Pride hate Makucha's army because they disrespect the Circle of Life and constantly try to eat the rare animals there. Rani was impressed when she saw Kion leading the Night Pride and the Lion Guard in coordinated attacks against Makucha, Chuluun, Ora, and Mama Binturong. She is even more impressed when Kion roars Makucha's entire army far away from the Tree of Life, never to be seen again.
