Mufasa (Ava15's Fanfics)/Relationships

The relationships of Mufasa.
==Family==
===Ahadi and Uru===
While the extent of their relationship isn't clear, Mufasa presumably loved his parents more than Scar did and was raised to be an ideal king by the two.
===Scar===
In their youth, Mufasa and Akili were close brothers, and Mufasa always sought to look after his younger brother and comfort him when he was downhearted. When Akili took up leadership of the Lion Guard, Mufasa supported him and his choices for the Guard. Things between them remained solid until the day where Akili roared a strange lion and cobra out of the Outlands after they deceived him and made him earn a scar on his face. Akili, expecting to be praised by Mufasa, was instead disappointed when he teased him and called him "Scar" for the new mark over his eye. Akili, now rechristening himself with the nickname of Scar, grew to resent his brother and conspired to kill him behind his back. When he asked his Lion Guard to help him slay Mufasa, they refused, causing him to destroy them out of anger, costing him the ability to use the Roar of the Elders. In their later years, tensions between the brothers rose considerably, with Mufasa sensing that his brother wanted to overthrow him or challenge his position as king. To further his vengeful agenda, Scar sought out the help of Shenzi's Clan, who helped him stage a wildebeest stampede in the gorge. Scar never once showed an ounce of remorse or guilt once Mufasa was trampled to death, even suggesting to Simba that it was his fault his father died. During his tyrannical rule of the Pride Lands, Scar made it law that no one could say Mufasa's name around him, as the name enraged him. He even spat at Sarabi that he was "ten times the king Mufasa was." Long after his death, Scar still loathed Mufasa and tells Ushari that he didn't deserve to be king.
===Sarabi===
Mufasa and Sarabi were mates, ruling over the Pride Lands as its king and queen. Mufasa and Sarabi loved each other dearly, and the two eventually had a cub, Simba. Sarabi was devastated over the death of her mate in a wildebeest stampede and thought their son had died in it as well. When it was revealed that Scar had murdered Mufasa, she held Scar in contempt and fought in the battle of Pride Rock to avenge her mate.
===Simba===
Simba had a strong bond with Mufasa when he was a cub and looked up to his father in every way. Simba feared disappointing Mufasa, notably after almost getting himself and Nala killed at the Elephant Graveyard, admitting that he wanted to be "brave" just like him. He also loved his father's stories, which drew him closer to him. After getting caught in a wildebeest stampede, Simba was rescued by Mufasa, but unfortunately, his father's heroics would be shrouded over when he fell to his death. Simba was heartbroken at the loss of his father, which Scar took advantage of, convincing the young cub that he was the reason why his father died. Simba, unable to live with the guilt, ran away from the Pride Lands. Seasons later, an adult Simba would face the spirit of his father, who advised him to face his past and return to Pride Rock, giving him the strength and wisdom he needed. Ever since Simba has reclaimed the throne of Pride Rock, Mufasa has watched over him and his family and has given them advice when needed.
===Nala===
Mufasa is shown to be very well-versed with Nala and knows her well. He showed great concern for her well-being as a cub when Simba nearly got her and himself killed by the hyenas. Mufasa continues to watch over her and Simba's family in the present day.
===Kiara===
Mufasa is hinted to be close with Kiara and has been watching over her since the day of her birth.
===Kion===
Kion and Mufasa have an immensely close, loving, and trusting relationship. Mufasa cares deeply for Kion and is always willing to offer support and help whenever his grandson needs it. He is also shown to be willing to listen to Kion's concerns and offers helpful advice to boost his spirits. Mufasa strongly encourages and supports Kion's relationship with Mhina and believes they will bring greatness to both the Pride Lands and Leopon Plains. Kion admires Mufasa significantly and believes him to be the greatest king in the history of the Pride Lands after Simba.
===Nguruma===
Mufasa is implied to be close to Nguruma as he is to his siblings.
===Mhina===
Although the two have never interacted, Mufasa is shown to hold Mhina to a high regard, strongly encouraging and supporting his relationship with Kion, believing the two are destined for greatness.
===Kovu===
Mufasa has watched over Kovu since his marriage to Kiara, proud of the former rogue for finding his place within the Circle of Life.
===Kohana, Na'Zyia, and Ayana===
It has been confirmed that Mufasa is close to Kohana, Na'Zyia, and Ayana, viewing them as his own grandchildren.
==Friends, Allies, and Acquaintances==
===Rafiki===
Rafiki was Mufasa's Royal Mjuzi, and the two have been very close since the birth of Simba. Rafiki found it to be a great tragedy when Mufasa died. To this day, the two still exchange communications, though Rafiki is not one to question Mufasa's wisdom, as he first found it incredulous that Kovu and Kiara were destined to be in love.
===Zazu===
Zazu was Mufasa's Majordomo, and the two had a strong relationship. Zazu, at one point, suggested to the king that Scar would "make a great throw rug," causing him to chuckle. Mufasa also used Zazu as pouncing practice for Simba, much to the hornbill's exasperation.
===Pride Landers===
Mufasa was admired by many Pride Landers for his bravery and time of prosperity in the Pride Lands, with them mourning his death greatly. He is still hailed by the Pride Landers as one of the greatest kings in the Pride Lands' history.
===Simba's Pride===
Simba's Pride was deeply loyal to Mufasa during his rule, and he cared for each pride member significantly.
===Spirits of the Past===
Mufasa is friends with the Spirits of the Past, as seen when he discusses Scar's uprising with them and shares their faith in Kion and Mhina to stop Scar.
==Enemies==
===Shenzi's Clan===
Due to the hyenas' greed, Mufasa hates them, making sure they'd stay banished in the Elephant Graveyard. When Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed were about to kill a young Simba and Nala, Mufasa was enraged and threatened to kill the three hyenas should they hurt his son. This caused them to back off.
