Vitani (Caldafox's Fanfics)/Canon Info

This is the canon information surrounding Vitani.
=== Background ===
Vitani was born sometime during Scar's reign. She had an older brother named Nuka and a younger brother named Kovu. After Scar's death, Vitani, her family and the rest of Scar's followers were banished to the Outlands by Simba for supporting Scar.
== TLK2 ==
Vitani is biting on a branch of a dead tree when her older brother walks up to her, complaining about Kovu. He then snaps the branch with his claw, causing Vitani to go flying a few feet across the ground. When she gets up, she angrily asks Nuka where Kovu is, suspecting her older brother left him by himself again, and is proven right. She scolds Nuka for leaving Kovu, telling him their mother will be angry, because she told him to watch Kovu. Vitani smiles as Nuka vehemently itches himself because of the termites biting him. She doubts Zira will let Nuka have a chance to prove himself as a leader, and then challenges her brother to tell Zira his thoughts, as she is coming around the corner. When Zira places Kovu on the ground, Vitani challenges her younger brother to play-fight.
During Zira's performance of "My Lullaby", Vitani watches and listens as her mother sings. She wriggles out of Nuka's grasp when he imitates Zira's fantasy of hurting Kiara, and then slaps her older brother out of the way so she can sing to Kovu later. She also sings a few notes later, singing "Testify!" and "Kovu, what a guy!" with her reluctant older brother.
Years later, Vitani and Nuka are assigned to light the surrounding fields of the Outlands on fire during Kiara's first hunt. She is annoyed by Nuka's apparent fear of the Elephant Graveyard's creepiness. She places several sticks on a geyser so they can be lit on fire, and is once again annoyed by Nuka's skittishness. She then orders him to "come on! [Because] Kiara has started her hunt. We have to move quickly." before exiting the Graveyard with Nuka.
The two siblings successfully light the place on fire, Vitani laughing to herself as she does so. She drags Nuka away when he starts laughing about the fire he's caused, and that he almost trapped himself in one.
Several days or weeks later, Vitani watches with anticipation as Simba and Kovu walk into Pride Rock. When Kovu does not kill Simba as she had hoped, Vitani growls and reports this information to Zira, who is very upset.
The next day, Vitani takes part in Zira's ambush at Simba. She laughs again along with the other Outsiders when they corner Simba and Kovu, and smiles as Zira compliments Kovu's obedience, though accidental, to her plan. Vitani then proceeds to attack Simba once Zira orders her pride to do so. After Simba manages to escape, Vitani leaps at him from a cliff and begins chasing the Lion King along with her mother and older brother. She smiles as Zira orders Kovu to attack Simba, and then watches in shock as Nuka leaps to do so instead. A horrified Vitani watches her older brother fall back into the logs and get crushes. She is utterly grieved when she finds he has died.
A scene later, Vitani is still saddened, alongside the other Outsiders, about Nuka's death. She watches in shock as Zira scratches and scars Kovu. She watches in anger as her brother defies his loyalty to Scar and runs away, then listens with fascination and later joy at Zira's next plan to attack Simba.
Vitani and the rest of her pride go into the Pride Lands and declare war on Simba and his pride. She partakes in the battle between the two prides. At one point, she is on a small hill above Nala, and mocks the Lion Queen. Then she proceeds to attack Nala.
After Kovu and Kiara have shown up, and Kiara softens the heart of her father toward the Outsiders, Zira, still untouched by Kiara's compassion, orders Vitani to attack. But Vitani refuses, and, considering it for a moment, joins the side of Kovu and Kiara: peace between the two prides. Zira then threatens to kill Vitani if she doesn't listen, disgusting the rest of the Outsiders, who also join Vitani. She watches as Simba attempts to convince Zira to leave the past behind her, but the crazed lioness refuses.
Although we do not see her exact form amongst the attendees of Kovu and Kiara's wedding, it can be assumed that Vitani attended. She then gained Kiara as her sister-in-law.

=== Lions of the Outlands ===
Sometime after Kovu and Kiara met, Vitani was introduced to Kion, Kiara's younger brother, when he came to the Outlands to settle a dispute between Zira's pride and Jasiri's clan. She was doubtful of the idea that Kion, a lion, and Jasiri, a hyena, could be friends. She listened in fascination of the Roar of the Elders when the concept was explained to her and her siblings.
Later on, Vitani wondered why her mother was taking so long to finish talking with Kion. When the Lion Guard showed up to defend Kion and stop Zira's pride, Fuli tackled Vitani and easily pinned the lion cub. Shortly after, Kion blasted Vitani and her family away to a farther part of the Outlands, using the Roar of the Elders. Only Kovu avoided the blast, and later rejoined his family.
=== Return to the Pridelands ===
When Kion and his Lion Guard return to the Pride Lands from their journey to the Tree of Life, they are stopped from entering the Pride Lands by Vitani, who has formed her own Lion Guard in their absence. She orders her Guard to attack the designated members, then declaring she will take on Kion. And indeed, she quickly tackles him to the ground. But Kion fights back, and soon prepares to use the Roar of the Elders on Vitani and her Guard. Kiara steps in before Kion can Roar, however, and informs her brother that Vitani, Kovu, and Vitani's Lion Guard have joined Simba's pride now. When Vitani recognizes Kion, she comments on how long it's been since she's seen him, how different he looks with his scar, and that he's surrounded by Outlanders. She shows sadness when Kovu informs Kion of Zira's death.
Later, the trouble between the two Guards is not resolved, as Vitani and her Guard have made themselves comfortable in the Lair of the Guard. Vitani feels it's her duty to protect the Pride Lands because she is the future king's sister. Her and her Guard will not budge, insisting only they have the right to protect the Pride Lands. However, when they are informed of trouble, Vitani puts their differences aside so they can help Thurston.
The two Guards, with Rafiki's help, decide on a competition to see who really has the to protect the Pride Lands. Kion's Guard ends up winning, so for the final challenge Vitani chooses a Mashindano, or physical fight, against Kion. Kion knows he will easily beat Vitani just by Roaring her away, but she insists that she is fierce enough to lead the Lion Guard without the Roar. Hearing this bold statement prompts Kion to forfeit, giving Vitani the Roar, Mark of the Guard, and the right to defend the Pride Lands. Vitani tries out the Roar of the Elders, sending everyone into cheers. Shortly after this, Vitani asks Kion how to truly master the Roar, and he demonstrates by lifting Pride Rock with it. Vitani then says "Hevi Kabesa!" in response to seeing it.
=== Personality ===
Vitani is shown to be sarcastic, ferocious, aggressive and vengeful as a young adult and a cub. She always supported her mother's plans and the fact that Kovu was destined to be Scar's heir. She often used her dry and derisive humor to annoy Nuka. She was even more bloodthirsty, hostile and bent on revenge as a young adult. Despite her vicious nature, she still showed grief for her older brother's death. Ultimately, Vitani was able to tell when her mother's vengeance had gone too far, and knew in her heart that it was the right choice to join Kovu and Kiara's call for peace.
As a reformed lioness, Vitani was laid back, confident and greatly devoted to her task of leading the Lion Guard. She had a bit of stubbornness, but was also a decently supportive friend, shown when she complimented Tazama's strong eyesight. She demonstrated tenacity, determination and strong leadership skills during the Battle of the Lion Guards, and was ultimately shown to be the right leader for the Guard.
=== Physical appearance ===
As a cub, Vitani was a tannish color with lavender colored eyes. She had a large tuft of hair on her head and fluffy cheeks. As a young adult, Vitani was a blonde color, with claws unsheathed at all times until she reformed. Her paws, muzzle, underbelly and chest were a lighter color. Her hair tuft had grown longer and wider, her ears were even fluffier, and her face was more pointed. She was sort of skinny, but still showed physical strength despite this, like when she tackled Nala, who was more better built than her. Her ear rims were brown, her eyebrows were black, and she had a pinked hooked nose.
In "Return to the Pridelands", Vitani's design has been severely changed. Her fur is a grayish-brown with a very fluffy tuft of fur on her head. She lost the dark ear tips she had as an adult in TLK2 and had fluffy cheeks again, like when she was a cub. Her Mark of the Guard was red. Her paws were a light blonde color, as well as her chest, underbelly and muzzle.
