Mark of the Night Pride

The Mark of the Night Pride is a special mark given to members of the Night Pride. 
==Information==
It is the shape of a male lion's head in a tree trunk with a leaf-like mane and ears, to resemble the Tree of Life. Each member's mark changes its color to match the owner's natural coloring similiar to the Mark of the Lion Guard before. It is given by the leader of the Night Pride by placing their paw on their right shoulder.
Unlike the Mark of the Guard, the Mark of the Night Pride isn't always visible when it's first received. The Mark of the Night Pride only becomes permanent when the animal that receives the Mark decides to stay at the Tree of Life thus joining the Night Pride. When Queen Janna gave Kion the Mark, it's briefly visible before it disappears shortly afterwards. Queen Rani subtly gave the Mark to each member of the Lion Guard by touching each of them on their right shoulders before they departed from the Tree of Life, but the Mark itself was never visible. After Kion relinquishes the role of Lion Guard to Vitani's Lion Guard, Askari appears and encourages Kion to return to The Tree of Life which allows the Mark of the Night Pride to become permanently visible on Kion's body. The former Lion Guard all agree to Kion's proposal to join the Night Pride at the Tree of Life and the Marks of the Night Pride given to them by Queen Rani become permanently visible on their bodies as well.
==History==
===Long Live the Queen===
Before Queen Janna’s life comes to an end, she asks Kion to come forward, wishing she could see his healing complete, but was happy to see the Roar return to the Tree. As well as hoping the young leader would find peace and hopes to stay, placing her paw on Kion's shoulder, temporarily giving him the Mark of the Night Pride.
===Return to the Pride Lands===
After Kion relinquishes his leadership of the Lion Guard to Vitani, Askari appears and encourages Kion to go back to the Tree of Life which allows the Mark of the Night Pride to appear on Kion's shoulder. Kion asks the former Lion Guard if they want to join him in helping Queen Rani protect the Tree of Life and they all accept which grants them the Mark of the Night Pride on their shoulders as well. 
==Trivia==
*This is similar to the Mark of the Guard, except their marks appear on their right shoulders/legs while the Guards' marks are on the left.
