Slash

Slash is a lioness. She is the second-in-command of Reth's Pride.
==Appearance==
Slash is a strong-bodied female lion with dark tannish-brown fur, a lighter brown underbelly, and a lighter brown muzzle. She has reddish-brown eyes.
==Personality==
Slash holds a superiority complex, as she believes that her species dominates all others. Like her leader, Reth, Slash is cold-hearted and manipulative, and shows little restraint in hiding her arrogant nature.
==History==
===Backstory===
It is unknown when Slash was born; however, it is known that she grew up to be vile and joined Reth's Pride at some point.
===Legends of the Lion Guard: Protectors of the Pride Lands===
====A Celebration in the Pride Lands====
When Reth learns from Waza that Mhina's family is in the Pride Lands, he tells Shupavu to inform Slash as he gathers up the pride. Later, Slash and the rest of the pride crash Kupatana, but they are quickly defeated and blown away with Kion's Roar.
===Legends of the Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands===
Reth orders Shupavu to gather Slash and the rest of the pride for an attack. Later, Slash and her pride attack Nguruma, Timon, and Pumbaa at Lake Shangaza. The Lion Guard, Mhina, and Anga arrive on the scene, and Kion soon roars the pride out of the Pride Lands. After some time passes, Slash and the rest of Reth's Pride attack Wema at the watering hole, but are defeated when Kion roars them away. They then meet with Ushari and other Outlanders at Broken Rock, hearing that they can summon Scar back. Upon getting a bakora staff, Ushari orders Shupavu to get Reth's Pride. Some time afterward, on Scar's orders, Reth's Pride attacks Frerin, Nguruma, and Makini at the watering hole. Kion, Beshte, Ma Tembo, and Makuu arrive to find Reth and Slash trapping Nguruma and Makini; Slash drags Nguruma into the water and tries to drown him. Ma Tembo sees him struggling, and draws Slash's attention to her, remarking that she looks parched.
She sprays water into her eyes, and while she is distracted, Ma Tembo takes Nguruma back to the shore. Reth's Pride moves to an acacia tree, and Ma Tembo and Makuu then scare them away. Back at Pride Rock, Kion stammers that Slash tried to drown Nguruma. When Scar commences his war on the Pride Lands, Reth's Pride is present inside the volcano caldera. Shortly after, Reth's Pride lures Ayana away from Pride Rock, kidnapping her and taking her to Rocky Plateau. Zazu warns Fuli, who speeds to Rocky Plateau and confronts the pride. Slash taunts Fuli, asking if she's come to save Ayana and "obliging" to her demand to let her go. Kariuki throws Ayana over the crevasse, but Hadithi's bird army appears, and while the birds swarm Reth's Pride, Hadithi and Anga rescue Ayana. Fuli takes her back to Pride Rock, informing her grandparents of what happened, and repeating this same information to Kion.
Despite their defeat at Rocky Plateau, Reth's Pride does not give up, and they begin to attack Maumivu Thorn Patch. Ono warns Kion, and Mhina immediately offers for him and his siblings to fight them. Although Kion has his reservations, he agrees, and they bound off. At Maumivu Thorn Patch, they discover mass chaos, and the leopons confront the pride. Without warning, Kariuki scars Mhina over his eye, and along with slash, pins him down. Slash bites into his shoulder, making him screech in pain. Tatu and Kicheko drag Kariuki and Slash off of Mhina, and Kicheko snarls at them to get out. With their mission complete, Slash orders them all to go back to Reth, and they run off. Tatu and Kicheko take Mhina to Flat Ridge Rock, and Tatu explains to Rafiki that Kariuki and Slash attacked Mhina. Following their defeat in the final battle, Reth gathers his pride, and Slash asks what they'll do now. Reth then vows revenge against the Lion Guard and Mhina.
===Legends of the Lion Guard: The Dark Prophecy===
Nyeusi informs Reth's Pride that the Lion Guard and their friends are traveling to the Tree of Life, which makes Reth plan revenge against them, but Slash questions how they'll achieve this. He decides that they'll follow the Guard in order to get revenge on them, and begins to lead the pride to the border. Soon, the pride meets Makucha's Leap and Ora's Bank at the waterfall. When Makucha presents Ora and Reth with an offer for their respective groups to join the leap in their quest to go the Tree of Life, Reth declines, wishing for his pride to remain independent in their quest for revenge. The next day, Reth's Pride meets outside the Mountain Pass, and Slash asks what they're going to do now. Reth tells her that they'll wait for an opportunity to attack when the Lion Guard leasts expects it. Later, the pride attacks in two places at once, Marsh Forest and the Tundra; Nirmala and Ullu rush off to stop them. At Marsh Forest, Fuli, Rani, and Mhina fight Reth, Slash, Alasiri, and Ekene. Eventually, the pride retreats.
Later, after venturing through the Mountain Pass, Slash asks Reth who they're attacking this time, and he reveals that they're going after a group of cats who live in Marsh Forest, certain they won't have a chance against them. Slash is about to bring up the Lion Guard, but Reth abruptly cuts her off, stating that they'll already cause damage to the cats by the time they arrive. Reth soon invades Saumu's camp, commencing the attack. Ullu and Cara notice the violent battle and warn the Lion Guard, Night Pride, and Kingiza, who immediately rush to Marsh Forest to defend Saumu's Pounce. When Kion arrives, he notices Mhina fighting Slash and Kariuki alone, and the two lions pin him to the ground. He rasps that they can't kill him, but Slash retorts that he's dead wrong, laughing and claiming that he's weak, scarred, and needs to accept his fate. Mhina hisses that she won't win, but she says that those are big words for one so small, raising her paw up to kill him. Suddenly, Kion dashes in front of Slash and takes the blow with his shoulder, causing him to collapse on the ground bleeding. However, he gets back up and duels Slash and Kariuki two-on-two with Mhina. The latter slips underneath Slash, cutting her underbelly flesh and rolling out from under her, eyes gleaming.
Growling, Slash sinks her teeth into his ear, pulling harshly on it, and Mhina shrieks in pain. Kion, irate, shouts at her to back off and headbutts her on her chest and muzzle, dazing Slash. Eventually, Reth retreats with his pride, but not before warning everyone that their next attack will be much more vicious. While speaking to Mufasa about the battle, Kion indirectly mentions Slash when he mentions saving Mhina from a lion trying to kill him. Later, Reth rallies his pride and prepares them for their biggest attack, and Slash, eager for bloodshed, asks when it's happening. Gleefully, Reth comments that it starts now. They target Saumu's Group first before switching to polar bears and Registaan's Herd. Rani nips Slash's heels, inviting her to tango with her, and she snaps at Kariuki and Alasiri that they're dealing with the "petty princess." They are quick to surround her on all sides, and Slash taunts Rani for sacrificing her dignity just to get murdered by the four of them. Shuddering, Rani refuses to let her parents down and retorts at her to shut up, clawing at her muzzle. However, Slash enjoys the pain and instead slices her body from chin to neck, staining part of her body in blood, but even with the pain, she rises back up and tries to attack. He swiftly swats her back down with a single swipe, letting Kariuki tear into her flank and Alasiri kick her nose.
Dizzy, Rani hears the battle around her and realizes she is going to die, and Alasiri insists to Slash that they finish her. Gasping, she backs up, offering to let them hunt whoever they want in exchange for letting her live. Slash, laughing, proclaims that it's too late and that what goes around comes around, preparing to slit Rani's throat. Out of nowhere, Kingiza slams Slash into the ground, shocking Rani, who exclaims his name. Turning to her, he sees how horribly wounded she is and becomes sickened and irate, whipping toward them and demanding they face him. Kariuki mutters that this is pathetic, but Kingiza promises to make them rue the day for hurting Rani, calling them monsters and demons. Slash grips Kingiza by the throat and draws blood. He doesn't care, his mind flooding with Rani, her teachings, his admiration of her, and his heart swells with affection. He tells Slash that she can finish him, but she almost stole Rani's life, accusing her and Reth's Pride of being no more than warmongers who wanted to kill the lion he is in love with. Breaking free, he slashes her muzzle and kicks her back. Alasiri remarks that he has the power of a spirit, though Slash doesn't care, stating they can still kill Kingiza. He snaps that he'll make them repent, pinning her; she throws him off, but he easily slices her belly. Eventually, Reth's Pride is sucked up in a tornado created by Kion and sent far away from the Tree of Life along with the other predators.
