Nguruma (Ava15's Fanfics)

Nguruma is a male lion. He is the son of Simba and Nala, the younger twin brother of Kion, the younger brother of Kiara, and the mate of Mahuluti. He is the grandson of Mufasa and Sarabi and the prince of the Pride Lands.
== Appearance ==
=== Cub ===
Nguruma is a stocky lion cub with milky light brown fur. His paws, chest, underbelly, and muzzle are a paler, creamy-brown in color. He has a brown head and tail tuft and blind blue eyes with yellow sclerae caused by glaucoma, with thin eyebrows located above them. He possesses a dark magenta nose and black black along the side of his inner ears, which are brownish-pink in color.
=== Late Teenager/Young Adult ===
As a young adult/late teenager, Nguruma has a partial mane that covers his left eye and longer cheek tufts. He has grown to his brother's height.
== Personality ==
As a cub, Nguruma is timid and frightened of some of his surroundings. He preferred being close to his friends and family and wasn't seen without them, in part due to his family's insistence he go out with someone for his safety. Kind, optimistic, and free-spirited, these traits were often overshadowed by his fears, fueled more by predator attacks, and on some occasions, Nguruma was despondent and didn't know how to speak his own mind. After confronting Mapigano, he gained more bravery and confidence, though he still preferred to be around his family, especially his mother, Nala, and brother, Kion.
When Nguruma matured into a teenager, he started to mature considerably, although he faced trials and attacks from members of Scar and his army that hampered his view and rattled him, making him fear confrontation. This led to him staying inside Pride Rock during the final battle, showing that he cares significantly for his own safety. Afterward, he developed feelings for kindhearted leopon Mahuluti, which augmented his determination. A part of him also began to long for freedom from his family, feeling pressured by Kiara, his parents, and Kion due to them constantly hovering over his presence.
On his trip to the Tree of Life, Nguruma wisened up in the graces of Janna and the others and formed strong connections to Janna, in addition to strengthening his bond with Makini. However, Nguruma began to feel like he wasn't given independence and longed to be his own type of lion, seeking to break his restraints that held him down. This culmulted when he got into a spat with Makini for overhelping him. The mandrill, realizing that she had contributed to his issues, apologized and heard Nguruma out as he vented about what he wanted in life, much to his relief. With the baggage on his back removed, he grew more confident in himself and relied less on others to stand on his own four paws.
Although he is still close to his loved ones and friends, Nguruma prefers to fend for himself independently and doesn't want anyone treating him otherwise due to his blindness, something he considers to be very hurtful and irritating.
== History ==
=== Backstory ===
Nguruma was born to Simba and Nala as the twin brother of Kion and the younger brother of Kiara. Much to the shock of his parents, Nguruma soon contracted glaucoma, which slowly stripped him of his ability to see. He started to react to the voices of his parents rather than follow their movements, and soon, his eyes clouded over and turned from Nala's teal to a milky gray-blue. Although the family was astonished at first, Nguruma's family quickly accepted his disability and resolved to not let it affect their love for him. As Nguruma grew, he became very attached to his siblings, especially Kion, and rarely left Kion's side, unless Kion was on patrol. Kiara also grew very protective of him, and insisted he have an escort if he was to leave Pride Rock.
