**Simba** was the son to Mufasa and Sarabi. He was the older brother to Tojo, Ghalyela, and Tipilire. He was the half brother/cousin to Rudo and Sabiha.

He was the mate to Nala and Nadra. With his first mate Nala, he was the father to Kopa and Kiara. With his second mate Nadra, he was the father to Kion, Khaili, Aisha, Naba and Chaka and Shani.

He was the king of the Pride Lands before his abdication in favour for his daughter, Kiara.

## Appearance

Simba has a brownish-gold pelt with a lighter muzzle, paws and underbelly. He has a lushness red mane with a pink Pridelander nose and amber-brown eyes.

## Personality

As a cub, Simba was mischievous and adventurous with loads of energy. He would boast a lot about how fearless he was, often getting him into trouble.

After Mufasa's Death, Simba fell into a depression and self guilt. Guilt tripped by Scar, he blamed himself for his fathers death and used Hakuna Matata to get away from it. With the help from Rafiki, he recovered.

As a father, Simba was loving, kind, caring, and supportive to his cubs. He was however very over protective, giving Kiara little freedom while Kion got a lot due to his post as leader of the Lion Guard.

## History

Simba was born to Mufasa and Sarabi as the future king of Pride Lands. He was born at the same time his aunt Naanda gave birth. Simba was born with his two siblings Tojo and Ghaleyla, while Naanda gave birth to a stillborn daughter. Sarabi and Rafiki gave Tojo to Naanda without her knowing, and no one would know Tojo was the son of Mufasa for many, many years.

He was great friends with Nala. He also had many other friends, like Tama, Mtoto and Chumvi. Once, curious about the Elephant's Graveyard mentioned by his uncle, Simba ventured with Nala to the Outlands, nearly captured by hyenas but rescued by Mufasa. Simba was later confronted by Mufasa how reckless he had acted.Scar then later told Simba to go to a cliff, where a stampede had been planned, and Mufasa died trying to save him.Frightened and guilty, Simba ran away, met and later raised by Timon and Pumbaa. The two had taught Simba about "Hakuna Matata".

After years of living away, Simba reconcile with Nala, the latter which tried to convince him to go back home, where Scar's reign was brutal and unjust. Her efforts went away in vain. After another confrontation, this time with Rafiki, Simba decided to go back to the Pride Land. Back home, Simba fought Scar with the help of Nala, Timon, Pumbaa and the rest of the lionesses.Scar betrayed by the hyena lost the battle and Simba exiled the hyena’s to the Out Lands.

Simba and Nala took their place as King and Queen. Nala gave birth to *her* second litter: Kopa. Kopa however was weak. This was because the drought hadn’t fully gone away yet. Simba and Nala had another cub, Kiara. A few days later, Nala and Kopa would be killed by Scar’s mate and Simba’s half aunt, Zira. For the murder of his mate and son, Zira and her followers were banished to the Out Lands. The only reason Simba didn’t kill Zira was because that there were a lot of followers backing her up and she had young cubs as well.

Without a mate, Simba took Nadra, Nala’s sister, as his new mate. She allowed the pride to call her Nala from then on, and Simba did eventually fall in love with her. They would have their first litter: Kion, Khaili and Aisha. When the cubs were young (before the events of The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar), a accident would cause Khaili’s disappearance, and Simba would grow even more paranoid. He would make sure lions were following the Lion Guard and helping them out in their missions (e.g helping clear out the Forest in ‘The Rise of Makuu’ or clear up the path as much as they could before the guard got there in ‘Janja’s new Crew’).

Eventually, Simba came to trust Kion. When Scar’s Spirit returned, he made sure his subjects were safe. He made sure his other daughter, Aisha (who was betrothed to Prince Afua) stayed in the Green Lands.
