Vitani (Caldafox's Fanfics)/Relationships

These are the relationships of Vitani in Caldafox's fanfics. 
=== Kopa ===
At first, Vitani is suspicious of Kopa and not used to any lion ever being so friendly, thus refusing to be his friend. Only after he saves her life does she admit he is her friend. She grows closer to him after they stargaze together. However, Vitani does not want to admit that she feels "different" around Kopa than she did before. She plays hard-to-get with him on some occasions.
Vitani is at first slightly suspicious once Kopa's friend Asante the hyena comes back, thinking that they are gossiping about her, but in reality, Kopa is asking Asante for advice on how to win Vitani's heart. She does not let it bother her for very long. She is surprised to find Kopa has feelings for her, and that he would never gossip about her. After that, the two lions confess their love and become mates, being married at the Tree of Life. They have two cubs, Safiya and Nuka II, later.
As time goes on, their marriage becomes more loving, as they raise their children and are there for each other during hard times. They learn to help each other and be patient with one another.
=== Imara ===
Imara is the strongest in Vitani's Lion Guard. She is seen to care the most about her friend's feelings and gives Vitani advise on several occasions. They are best friends and hang out frequently when the Lion Guard is not busy. 
=== Kasi ===
Kasi is the fastest in Vitani's Lion Guard. Kasi is amongst the first to know of Vitani's "feelings" for Kopa and teases her sometimes. They have a playful friendship. Vitani is the first Kasi told about Rogue, her would-be mate.
=== Shabaha ===
Shabaha is the bravest in Vitani's Lion Guard. Although Shabaha sometimes doesn't listen to her leader or makes side comments, the two are still good friends and have a playful friendship.
=== Tazama ===
Tazama and Vitani are good friends, Tazama being the Keenest of Sight in Vitani's Lion Guard. She is very willing to listen to Vitani's orders and gets along good with Vitani's cubs, sometimes watching them for Vitani.
=== Kiara ===
Kiara becomes Vitani's sister-in-law by Kovu (Kiara's mate) and Kopa (Kiara's brother). They are good friends. Sometimes Kiara seems to tease Vitani, as when she makes a comment about Kopa and Vitani's relationship. They have a playful and loving friendship. 
=== Kovu ===
Vitani and Kovu have a warm relationship as siblings. They grew up together in the Outlands, both loyal followers of their mother Zira until they reformed. They enjoy spending time together and care deeply for one another.
=== Nala ===
Nala shows kindness to her future daughter-in-law. She advises Kopa to find Vitani, knowing of their feelings for one another. Later Vitani becomes especially close with Nala, looking up to her as a mother, and they enjoy spending time together.
=== Dotty ===
Dotty and Vitani are good friends. Vitani grew up alongside the older lioness in the Outlands. To this day the two have a close friendship. Majuto, Dotty's daughter, and Nuka II, Vitani's son, develop crushes on one another.
=== Spotty ===
Vitani is good friends with Dotty's younger sister. Spotty named her daughter, Tani, after Vitani, her childhood friend. This pleased Vitani greatly, and the two mothers enjoy hanging out.
=== Digger and Beauty Spot ===
Vitani is good friends with Digger and Beauty Spot. They were good friends during their years in the Outlands together, and enjoy hanging out. They are still friends after all these years.
=== Asante ===
Asante is nice to Vitani when they meet. She listens as Kopa confesses his feelings for the female lion, and advises him on when to tell Vitani. Although the lioness was a little suspicious of Asante when she arrived, and briefly thought Kopa and Asante were gossipping about her, Vitani and Asante are acquainted by the time the female hyena heads off.
=== Tiifu and Zuri ===
Vitani is frenemies with Tiifu and Zuri, ever since Vitani joined Simba's pride. She shows annoyance of them on several occasions, and even tells to their faces her annoyance of their nickname for Kopa (Prince Kopa). They apologize later for judging Vitani, and 'Tani reluctantly befriends them. However, she is still annoyed by them.
=== Sarabi ===
Sarabi is Kopa's paternal grandmother, thus making Vitani Sarabi's granddaughter-in-law. Sarabi is pleased to find out her grandson has fallen in love, and gladly comes to their weddings. She hopes they will have a good life together, and at the wedding she tells Vitani to take care of her grandson.
=== Nadim ===
Vitani is quite irked by this rogue lion, as shown in her speech and explanations of him. He caused her a lot of trouble shortly after her Lion Guard was formed, causing Vitani to be ever suspicious and wary of him. Nadim, in turn, is probably annoyed at Vitani for her stubborn insistence to protect the Pride Lands at all costs.
=== Haki and Asani ===
Vitani calls Nadim's two youngest children Haki and Asani "really obnoxious" and blasts them away with the Roar of the Elders when they start mocking her and Kopa. They never listen to her or her Lion Guard, which is of course very annoying. Anytime they are in the Pride Lands, Vitani chases them away. They all had a rough first meeting, with Haki and Asani disrespecting Vitani minutes after introducing themselves. Since then, Vitani is wary of them and ready to fight them at a moment's notice.
=== Safiya ===
Safiya is Vitani's daughter, born alongside her brother Nuka II 5 months after Kopa and Vitani are married. At first, Safiya wants to go wherever her mother is, but soon grows closer to Kopa instead, as he is "at home" more with the cubs. Still, Vitani and Safiya remain close as the young lioness grows. Vitani is always proud of her daughter's accomplishments and is proud of her role as the Keenest of Sight in Kheri's junior Lion Guard.
=== Nuka II ===
Nuka II is Vitani's son. 'Tani named her son after her older brother, Nuka, who died before his nephew was born. He shares many physical traits of his uncle, but is not like Nuka in personality. Nuka II grows close to his mother, as his sister grows closer to Kopa. They have a loving relationship, with Nuka II looking for his mother's approval in most of what he does. 
== Other ==
Here are some relationships of Vitani that were not as spotlighted in Caldafox's fanfics or are yet to make an appearance.
=== Zira ===
Vitani was close with her mother. She was willing to obey all her mother's plans and orders. However, when she finally realized that Zira was wrong, Vitani was ready to defy her mother for the sake of the unity of the lion prides. She was saddened by her mother's death, as she saw Zira fall into the rushing river from atop a ledge.
=== Nuka ===
Vitani had an on-and-off relationship with her older brother, as they would constantly tease each other or grumble at one another. When Nuka fell to his death, however, Vitani watched in horror, showing she did indeed care about her brother, and was very saddened by his death.
After the prides united, it was Vitani who told Kiara about Nuka's existence and role in her and Kovu's life. After Vitani's son was born, he had a striking resemblance to his deceased uncle, so Vitani named him after Nuka. 
=== Kion ===
When Kion returned to the Pride Lands from his journey to the Tree of Life, he was surprised to find Vitani had formed a Lion Guard of her own in the absence of his. She at first thought him and his Lion Guard were a threat, and thus ordered an attack on them. The groups stopped fighting once Kiara and Kovu stepped in. Vitani was surprised to find it was Kion she was fighting, as, according to her, he "look[ed] different with that scar...".
Over the next couple of hours/days, the two Lion Guards bickered over who had the right to defend the Pride Lands. Kion knew his group had the Roar of the Elders and the Mark of the Guard, while Vitani felt it was her duty, as Kovu's sister, to protect the Pride Lands. Several times Vitani and Kion clashed, before the Battle of the Lion Guards was established and the two groups held a competition.
When Vitani told Kion she didn't need the Roar to help her beat him in a mashindano, Kion realized she was the one who should lead the Lion Guard in the Pride Lands. He forfeited his round in the competition and gave Vitani the Roar and Mark of the Guard. He demonstrated the power of the Roar to Vitani, who was amazed.
Although she didn't thank Kion at first when he gave her the position as leader of the Lion Guard, Vitani was extremely grateful deep down. She thanked him the next time she saw him (as he had gone to the Tree of Life to marry Rani). Later, whenever they would see each other for long periods of time, she would show friendliness towards him. Now they are well acquainted, although Kion lives far away.
