Ahadi

Pride Lands monarchy

Simba's Pride

**Ahadi** is a male lion. He is the king of Pride Rock who precedes Mufasa. He is the mate of Uru, with whom he has two sons: Mufasa and Taka.

It is suggested that after the birth of his sons, Ahadi shows strong favoritism for the eldest, Mufasa, due to his dutiful and responsible nature. This alienates Ahadi from his younger son, Taka, who grows to resent his father and elder brother.

During a drought, Ahadi watches over the Pride Lands while his mate, Uru, searches for a new source of food and water. He encounters a wandering baboon named Rafiki, to whom he offers shelter after learning of the simian's mission to collect knowledge. Shortly after, Ahadi struggles to manage the complaints of the Pride Landers, who suffer from a lack of food and water, and is forced to break a promise to Taka in order to handle the kingdom's problems.

Driven by jealousy and resentment, Taka incites a cape buffalo's wrath in order to discredit Mufasa in front of Ahadi. However, the plan backfires, as the other herd members attack Taka instead. Ahadi arrives and defends his son from further injury, and the party returns to Pride Rock. There, Ahadi appoints Zuzu the hornbill to be his majordomo and Rafiki to be his adviser.

Askari/Relationships

## Family

### Kion

 File:Triumph-of-the-Roar (251).png  Kion is Askari's distant relative and (until Vitani) his latest successor as Leader of the Lion Guard. Upon meeting him for the very first time, Askari spoke briefly with Kion, who had come to give up the Roar after realizing he had always been a leader, even before he got the Roar, which he knew was not what made him a leader, to begin with. Pleased by this news, Askari declared Kion was ready and began teaching him all the powers the Roar is capable of.

After Kion understood Askari's words that only one, who is able to let go of the Roar completely can truly master it, he passes on the mantle of Leader of the Lion Guard and the Roar of the Elders to Vitani. Afterward, Askari appears, congratulating Kion for truly mastering the Roar and telling him there is another place (the Tree of Life) that could use the Roar's help.

Alongside the spirits of Mufasa and Janna, Askari proudly watched over his relative, as Kion became mates with Queen Rani and the new King of the Tree of Life.

### Simba, Nala And Kiara

Kion demonstrated by lifting Pride Rock off the ground then lowering it safely, to the amazement of all the Pride Landers. Vitani is currently Askari's successor to the Lion Guard legacy. Vitani likely has Askari's blessing to be leader of the Lion Guard of the Pride Lands and wielder of the Roar.

## History

### **The Call of the Drongo**

 File:The-call-of-the-drongo-hd (244).png  The Female Mouse is first seen chomping down on some grubs. Tamaa notices her, and flies down joyfully having seen her food. He tries to start a conversation with her, and although she responds with briefness, he continues to make a joke in the hopes that she will hand over some grubs. She ignores his not quite subtle hints, and eventually he asks her directly if she would consider sharing some. She refuses, and tells him to get his own.

 File:Fleeing-mouse.png  Tamaa wonders out loud if she would say that to Janja and shortly after mimics his voice. By the time Janja himself arrives, he can see that Tamaa's plan has worked, and the Female Mouse runs away in fear of the hyena, never knowing that it was just Tamaa himself imitating her foe.

## Personality

Mapigano is an intimidating and treacherous leopard who uses a number of bullying tactics to frighten his foes into submission. He will ridicule those he deems weak in an attempt to break their spirits. Despite this front, he is also a pusillanimous coward, and will flee from anyone who does not succumb to his threats or from those who have the courage to fight back, even just verbally.

## History

### **The Trouble With Galagos**

Mapigano targets Badili, a feeble leopard lacking confidence and forces him out of his tree in Mirihi Forest using bullying tactics to claim it as his own. He orders Badili not to come back.

When the Lion Guard arrive and tell Badili that he has to return home, he does so but rushes ahead of them and is confronted by Mapigano who demands him to leave as it not his territory anymore. However, the Lion Guard, having caught up with Badili, force Mapigano to leave.

However this was in vain as the next day, Mapigano returns to Mirihi Forest and forces Badili out again. This causes the Guard's leader Kion to realise that it must be Badili himself who must drive Mapigano out. The Lion Guard train Badili on how to be brave and when he is ready, he returns to Mirihi Forest to confront Mapigano.

At first, Mapigano is unfazed by Badili's attempts of bravery and tries to attack him. However, Badili roars at Mapigano to get out of his territory, causing the mean leopard to finally submit to him and flee Mirihi Forest for good.

There they are, all standing in a row

**A Snow Monkey's Home** is a song sung by Yuki.

After their home is accidentally destroyed by the Roar of the Elders, Yuki sings it to Kion in response to him saying "Just tell us what you want" in regards to a new home.

## Lyrics

**Yuki:**

*So what is the home*

*Of a snow monkey's dreams?*

*Some snow and some food*

*And some water that steams*

*Our needs are so simple*

*No need for extremes*

*To find a new home*

*Of a snow monkey's dreams*

*But we gotta have snow*

*No way around that*

*Snow monkeys know that*

*The snow's where it's at*

*Also, a hot spring*

*If you find us one, please*

*So when the wind stings*

*We stay warm and don't freeze*

*So what is the home*

*Of a snow monkey's dreams?*

*Some snow and some food*

*And some water that steams*

*Our needs are so simple*

*No need for extremes*

*To find a new home*

*Of a snow monkey's dreams*

*For food, we like roots*

*And some kind of flowers*

*Leaf buds and shoots*

*We can eat them for hours*

*Flat rocks for basking*

*They don't need to be wide*

*And while we're asking*

*Perhaps an ice slide*

*This is the home*

*(This is the home)*

*Of a snow monkey's dreams*

*(Of a snow monkey's dreams)*

*Some snow and some food*

*And some water that steams*

*(Water that steams)*

*Our needs are so simple*

*No need for extremes*

*To find a new home*

*Of a snow monkey's dreams*

*To find a new home*

*Of a snow monkey's dreams*
Moira Kelly

**Moira Kelly** (born March 6, 1968) is an American actress who voices Nala in ***The Lion King*** film series. She also starred as Karen Roe in ***One Tree Hill***.

## Biography

Kelly was born the third of six children in Queens, New York City, in March 6, 1968 with her father was a professional violinist and her mother, a nurse;[1] both of Irish descent. [2] Inspired by classical and big band music, Kelly followed in her father's musical footsteps by trying her hand at the violin, drums, and flute, and competed in opera while attending Connetquot High School in the mid-'80s.[1] In 1984, Kelly was cast in a small role in Connetquot Senior High School's production of *Annie*, and because of an illness, the actress who was set to play Miss Hannigan was replaced, and its director cast Moira as Grace Farrell in her place.[2]

While attending Marymount Manhattan College, Kelly worked a series of odd jobs while attending college in order to finance her education.[1] After her graduation, Kelly began to weigh her childhood dream of becoming a nun against being an actress in the limelight;[1] she ultimately chose to become an actress.[1] Her acting debut came in 1991 with the film, *The Boy Who Cried Bitch*, while that same year, Kelly portrayed the title character's girlfriend in *Billy Bathgate* and a 14-year-old murderess in the telefilm, *Love, Lies and Murder.* [3] Finally, she enjoyed her first major role in the 1992 romantic comedy, *The Cutting Edge.* Up until that time, she asked to audition for the role of Nala, despite not being the filmmakers's first choice, and was chosen for the part months later, according to her interview with UlimateDisney.[4] After the success of *The Lion King*, Kelly reprised her role as Nala in *The Lion King II: Simba's Pride* and *The Lion King 1½*.

Towards the mid-1990s, Kelly appeared in the short-lived TV series, *To Have & to Hold*. [1] Though that series ultimately didn't connect with audiences, her appearance in the series, *The West Wing*, certainly did, and returned to television once more in the series, *One Tree Hill*, as Karen Roe.

## Other Roles

## Plot

**Timon** and **Pumbaa** are intending to go skiing, but they end up in a tropical isle instead. They decide to stay at the beach instead, until three natives kidnap Pumbaa. At first, they try to cook Pumbaa, but their **leader** appears and sees Pumbaa. He smacks his henchmen on their heads with his staff, because he thinks Pumbaa is their god-king.

Timon goes through difficult situations to rescue Pumbaa, and when he finds him, he is surprised that **the natives** made Pumbaa their king. Timon gets angry at his friend for having him worried sick, and he throws Pumbaa's crown away, breaking it, and tries to leave, but is stopped by the natives.

Timon is put in a basket with flowers, making the **meerkat** think that he's the new god-king, but he is actually going to be thrown into a volcano as a sacrifice for attempting to "kidnap" Pumbaa. He begs not to be thrown into the volcano and says he'll do anything in return, so the Natives turn him into a servant of Pumbaa.

After a while, the Natives' sacred fire goes out and their leader asks Pumbaa to restore it. Using his mind, Pumbaa reignites the flame, but right after it, he accidentally makes it rain. This causes the Natives consider him an impostor and go after him and Timon. They both run away by playing "samba" to distract the natives. When the natives keep dancing, their leader hits each of them on the head with his staff.

The three natives then take off their costumes, revealing themselves to be university students. Fed up with being hit on the head repeatedly by their leader, they go back to the college having decided that "Be a Native Weekends" aren't any fun, leaving their leader begging them to come back so they don't lose their deposits, hinting that he is also a college student.

*Bird of a thousand voices*

*When I was just a baby bird*
*I learned I had a skill*
*To imitate both, night and day*
*You know it was a thrill!*
*But when it came to hunt and peck*
*It wasn't all that great*
*I had to find a different way*
*To earn the food I ate*
*That's why...*
*I'm the bird of a thousand voices*
*Yes, indeed!*
*Bird of a thousand voices*
*Yes, it's me!*
*It's all in fun*
*It's just a game!*

*That's my name!*
*Bird of a thousand voices*
*Yes, it's me*
*So imitating bad guys*
*Is my way to earn a meal*
*Nobody's ever harmed*
*All that hurts is how they feel!*
*Now listen very closely*
*You won't believe your ears*
'*Cause doing other voices*
*Is a skill I've had for years!*
(*Impersonating Janja*) *Better look out! Janja's here!*
(*Impersonating Makuu*) *I'm Makuu! Cower in fear!*
(*Impersonating Goigoi*) *Goigoi here! I'll give you what's for!*
*And let me tell you, kids*
*I got plenty more*
*Cause I'm the*
