Malka (Sapphirejas's Semi Canon)

Malka is a male African lion who resides at the Pridelands. He is a hunter of Simba's Pride. He is the adopted son of Nyala and Keyon and the adopted brother of Alix. He is formerly from the Northern Pride from the Northlands, but was adopted into Simba's Pride after his parents died of unspecified causes. As a cub, he was great friends with Prince Simba and was devastated when he was supposedly killed by a wildebeest stampede (but actually, Scar exiled him after murdering his father, Mufasa).
== Description ==
Malka had light orange fur with a multi-coloured mane of brown and black. His muzzle, underbelly and paws are a light yellow colour. He lacks any ear rims. His inner ears are a copper colour. Malka's eyes are light brown and his nose is dark reddish brown. His tail tuft is black. He has a small muzzle and is a rounded build.
== Personality ==
Malka as a cub is a fun-loving and curious. Though he pretends to be brave, he often gets scared and lost. He is outgoing in terms of making friends, as he openly expresses his opinion and doesn't hesitate to ask strange cubs to play with him. He is a bit of a show-off in the respect that he will fake bravery in order to receive praise. This often leads to him being boastful and proud of his accomplishments. This changes, however, when he reveals his true feelings to Simba; after the truth is out, Malka is relieved. By the end of the story, he is less prideful and more confident in his own skin, even with his faults.
As an adult, he has matured and is a calmed and reserved hunter. He feels insecure sometimes, especially around King Simba, ever since his friendship ended many years ago. He hunts with his friends, Kula, Tama, Tojo and Queen Nala, hunting often zebras and gazelles. He is also spiritual, looking up to the Great Kingdom of the Past after making a kill to give thanks for an animal's life.
