Simba Tumaini

The Young Form of Simba (1994)

**Simba Tumaini** is one of the six main protagonists in *Disney's Final Frontier*. He's also the protagonist of *The Lion King* and a deuteragonist in the sequel. Because of the events of Mufasa's death, it leads to some small trust issues with Figment early in, but he warms up to the entire group as time passes. Based on his experience level, his personality is rather different for certain parts of the Former in the first game.

## Personality

*"Thanks to you two, I started laughing in the face of danger once more." ~Simba to Tod and Bolt*

Reaching his young adulthood, Simba entered a slight melodramatic state at the start of the adventure as a result of Mufasa's death. Simba felt unworthy of the throne while Tramp gave him a few Slice of Life lessons to help him cheer up, but it wasn't until he was reunited with Nala in the Dream Realm, thanks to a time displaced Kovu, where he put two and two together and found out his uncle, Scar, was the reason for his troubles in the first place. His adventurous personality returned, consequently, as he makes a promise to return home to take revenge.

After a minor clash with Shenzi Marie and Bagheera, he formed a bit of a rivalry with the two, mainly Bagheera, though he never really took it seriously after a while as he reached adulthood. His more soft-spoken attitude helped balance out a few things after his adventure kick. Eventually, he was able to gather up his bravery to take on new challenges, in contrast to his movie counterpart.

### Udhaifu

*"At least I had you going for a minute, right? Right?" "Wrong." ~Simba and Tramp, The Jungle Book Version G*

In the three possible turnouts for the start of Shenzi's Redemption, two of them lead to Simba showing off his more playful side in The Jungle Book. At the start of the level, he'd run ahead of the rest of the team checking the jungle out, only to have switched his current outfit out for a disguise, trying to get the team off-track with various tricks, eventually leading to a friendly bout with Bagheera, in which he loses. With the disguise broken, and the gang saying "They knew it was him the whole time," he dropped the act and joined the group once more.
