Rani's coronation

Rani's coronation was the ceremony in which Rani was formally anointed the queen of the Tree of Life and publicly presented as such to her subjects.
==Information==
===Janna's death===
Ullu told Rani that Janna wanted to see her, Kion, and the rest of the Night Pride immediately. While the rest of the Lion Guard stayed behind to look after Varya and her cubs, Kion and the Night Pride hastened to the Tree of Life. When they arrived, they saw a crowd of animals gathered outside, and Nirmala realized that Janna was dying. Baliyo was afraid to enter the Tree of Life, but Rani comforted him by reminding him that the Night Pride would be at his side the whole time.
Kion and the Night Pride entered the Tree of Life, where Makini tended to a dying Janna. Janna expressed her pleasure at having seen the Roar of the Elders return to the Tree of Life and asserted her hope that Kion would stay. She then encouraged Surak and Baliyo to support Rani during her reign and granted Nirmala with the Tree of Life's healing powers. Finally, she assured Rani that, with the help of Makini and the Night Pride, she was ready to be queen. Janna then died peacefully.
Afterwards, Kion comforted a distraught Rani, and Makini informed the waiting crowd of Janna's passing and Rani's upcoming coronation. The animals attended Janna's funeral at the Willows, where Kion comforted Rani once more. Rani admitted her doubts about becoming queen, in response to which Kion confessed that he had felt the same when he had become the leader of the Lion Guard.
Later, Makini showed Rani a wall of paintings that would help guide her in her reign. Bunga arrived with Varya and her cubs, who asked permission to stay at the Tree of Life. Rani accepted her appeal, but was unsure what to do next. Makini gestured to the paintings, where all the information Rani needed was preserved.
===The coronation===
At sunset, the animals of the Tree of Life gathered to witness Rani's coronation. Nirmala, Fuli, and Anga led the crowd in song as Rani approached the Tree of Life via a path of flowers. Rani then bowed to Makini, who anointed her forehead with ceremonial paint. Makini told Rani that Janna would be proud, then presented her to the crowd as the new queen. The animals cheered, and Makini led them in chants of "Long live the queen!"
That night, Rani visited Janna's gravesite at the Willows, where she declared to her grandmother's spirit that she was indeed ready to lead. Immediately, the clouds overhead cleared, and the moon bathed Rani in rays of light.
