Shabaha

Shabaha is a lioness who lives in the Pride Lands. She took Bunga's place as the bravest member of Vitani's Lion Guard. She makes her debut in Return to the Pride Lands.
==Appearance==
At first glance, Shabaha looks like a typical lioness from the Outlands. Several details set her apart from the rest of her group. She has brown-grey fur, with lighter paws and underbelly. Her head is decorated with a thick and dark stripe and a small tuft of fur. She has thick and pointed eyebrows. Like Vitani, she has freckles and unlike the rest of her pride has light eye rims under her eyes like a typical Pride Lands lioness. In her ears, there are light grey "rings" and areola around them in the same color as her stripe on her head. She has dark cyan eyes and a nose like Outsiders in crimson color.
==Personality==
Shabaha is a very brave and fearless lioness and also a formidable warrior. She is not only fearless but also can scare others. In combat, she giggles maniacally, which is shown to make hyenas back down, even when they outnumber her. She is very confident and treats difficult challenges as fun. When she gets angry, she may seem scary. She acts like both Bunga and Janja.
==History==
===Early Life===
Shabaha, along with the rest of her pride, lived in exile in the Outlands as punishment from Simba for their loyalty to Scar. When the pride's leader, Zira, lead an attack on the Pride Lands, the battle was stopped by Kovu and Kiara, who convinced both sides not to harm one another. As a result, Shabaha, along with the rest of Zira's pride had surrendered and joined Simba's pride. At some point after that, Shabaha had been chosen by Zira's daughter Vitani, to be the bravest member of her Lion Guard.
===Return to the Pride Lands===
When Kion, his Lion Guard, and multiple Outlanders are traveling to the Pride Lands to stop Zira, Vitani's Guard comes to stop them, with Shabaha filling in her role as the bravest. Later on, Kiara arrives and gets them to stop fighting, and Kovu explains to Kion's Guard that Zira has completed her journey through the Circle of Life. The next day in the Lair of the Lion Guard, Vitani's Guard starts fighting with Kion's Guard. Laini interrupts them and says that there's an emergency at Mbali Fields. Thurston is stuck in a hole. While the two Guards fight, Azaad helps him. Thurston soon suggests of having a competition to see who's the better Lion Guard.
Shabaha faces off against Bunga to see who's braver, but she hesitates upon seeing the crocodiles of Makuu's Float and the honey badger defeats her. In the end, Vitani's Guard is victorious, and Kion and his former Lion Guard join the Night Pride.
