Simba (Demon's Season 4)

Simba is the son of Mufasa and Sarabi, the adoptive son of Timon and Pumbaa, the nephew of Scar and Zira, mate of Nala, the father of Kopa, Kiara, and Kion, the reigning king of his pride and the Pride Lands. He serves as the main protagonist of the original film, the anti-antagonist/tritagonist of its sequel, a supporting character in its midquel and television series, and will return in Season 4.
After ruling the Pride Lands for years since the death of his evil uncle Scar, and his rebellious aunt Zira he will retire, leaving the throne to his daughter Kiara.
== Physical Appearance ==
Simba is a lion of great size and stature, with a large dark red mane and tail tuft, akin to his father's. More of his physical features are similar to those of his father, Mufasa, such as his square jaw and small pointed ears. He is powerfully built and broad-shouldered. His fur is brownish-gold, while his muzzle, paws, and underbelly are creamy tan.
He has reddish-brown eyes, dark red-brown whiskers, and a pink nose. He strongly resembles his sons, Kion and Kopa.
== Personality ==
Simba is brave, sturdy, full of courage and kindness, and does his best to make his father proud. He is also an austere but caring father. He is very meticulous about keeping traditions, and he shows great concern about Kion and the formation of the new Lion Guard. However, he eventually came to accept the new Guard after they successfully thwarted Janja's clan and rescued Kiara in the process, showing his more reasonable side. Due to the severe trauma he underwent as a cub, what with losing his father, being separated from his family for years, and his discovery of Scar's treachery, Simba undergoes PTSD even long after Scar's death, and is highly protective over his children. His parenting skills are also affected by this, as he gives Kion a great amount of responsibility due to the pressures he went through when he was forced to face his past.
In Season 4, Simba seems to have recognized the maturity and true responsibility of his daughter, son, and son-in-law, as he will pass down the mantle to them, proving that has come to accept that his kids have grown up.
