Arrogant & effusive, she conducts herself in an extremely grandiose way. She likes to be treated politely and with respect, and loathes being looked down upon. Her Killium comes from the divine sword Kusanagi, one of the three (3) sacred treasures told of in a legendary island nation. She has a great fondness for excessive ceremony, and likes having others organize everything for her as if it were a royal ceremonyor stately procession-- be it a rest, a meal, a walk or whatever else. Since beginning her journey together with her commander and others, she's been very dissatisfied with the lack of people willing to pamper her whims.

Her Killium comes from the divine sword Kusanagi, one of the Three Sacred Treasures told of in a legendary island nation. Surprisingly enough, her favorite pastime is weeding. The sword Kusanagi was lost when its owner drowned himself, which gave her a strong fear of water banks. It seems she started weeding grass from water banks in order to avoid ever falling into water again, and fell in love with it. However, she doesn't want anyone to see her, a noble and sacred treasure, doing weeding, so she's very careful to hide it from others.

However, she's very sensitive about her late physical development, and gets a little sulky when she's around Killer Princesses with well-developed figures...

Seisou is a lar gibbon. His body, legs, and arms are black. The hair on his face and head are black and white. His face, paws, and feet are gray colored. His eyes are yellow and black.

## Personality

Seisou is a helpful gibbon who told the Lion Guard about Mama Binturong and her porcupines whom had stolen Makini's staff for its tuliza.

Like all animals in this forest, he is frightened of Mama Binturong, showing his skittish side.

## Role in the series

### ***Mama Binturong***

Seisou is seen alongside a mongoose named Bambun when the Lion Guard and Makini are mingling with Tenuk to which the two animals greet Beshte after Tenuk introduces the hippo to them. However, when Makini asks Tenuk for Tuliza, Seisou and Bambun are worried what she did to Tenuk to which he also fled in terror after Makini said the same word she said to Tenuk. He later appears in the musical sequence focusing on Mama Binturong's plan on taking every Tuliza she finds.

When Beshte asks Seisou to where Makini's staff is at as he gets frightened upon hearing the word "Tuliza", Bunga tries to ask him that it's not Tuliza the Guard is talking about to which he refuses to listen as he suggests Anga to talk to Bambun, the mongoose who was mingling with him. Talking to Bambun, Kion tells him that Seisou told the Guard about Makini's staff as he suggests talking to Tompok, the civet and a mouse deer to know who would know about the staff. The Guard decides to talk to Seisou in the cave about the staff after talking to the mouse deer.

At the cave, Seisou tells the Lion Guard that the cave is the only private place to talk about Tuliza so no porcupines can hear anyone saying "Tuliza". He explains that he doesn't want Mama Binturong to know he is helping the Guard find the missing staff as the staff has Tuliza in it and it could be linked to Mama Binturong. He explains that Mama Binturong controls all Tuliza in the tropical forest and the animals in the forest are afraid to say this word as it only makes her angry and whenever she gets angry, she can be frightening to the animals. Seisou then warns the group that any animal who takes Tuliza causes Mama Binturong and her porcupines to go after the animals taking Tuliza to which Kion asks him to know where to find him. He then explains that Mama Binturong's hideout is in the Stone Forest, which is almost impossible to get through and only Mama Binturong and her porcupines get through it safely. After talking to Seisou, the Lion Guard plans to deal with the problem about Mama Binturong.

Nathan Lane

**Nathan Lane** (born **Joseph Lane**; February 3, 1956) is a Tony-nominated American stage and screen actor. He is best known to stage audiences for his roles as Nathan Detroit in the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls and Max Bialystock in the musical The Producers. Lane is also known as the voice of Timon for The Lion Kingmovies.

## Biography

Originally named **Joseph Lane** in Jersey City, New Jersey on February 3, 1956, he changed his name because he heard of another actor named Joseph Lane. He chose the name "Nathan" after the character of Nathan Detroit from the Broadway musical, Guys and Dolls. He later moved to New York City during the 1970's to begin his stage career. He starred in a number of unsuccessful Off-Broadway and Broadway musical and stage productions.

In 1992, he starred as Nathan Detroit, the character he lent his name to, in the Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls, for which he received the 1992 Drama Desk and Outer Critics' Circle Awards as Best Actor in a musical as well as a Tony Award nomination. That role also earned him an Obie Award for sustained excellence. His future Lion King co-star and close friend **Ernie Sabella** also starred in the revival.

Two years later, he lent his voice to the **meerkat**, **Timon**. However, during production, he and Ernie Sabella were originally cast as **Shenzi** and **Banzai** (voiced by **Whoopi Goldberg** and **Cheech Marin** in the final film). The filmmakers loved their performance and thought the duo would be better as Timon and Pumbaa. Lane would later reprise Timon in some episodes of The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and The Lion King 1½.

After the success of The Lion King, he would later become close friends with Matthew Broderick whom he co-starred in 2001 in the musical, The Producers, and Ernie Sabella.

As a result of Mufasa's mockery of him, Scar ordered the Lion Guard to help him kill Mufasa. However, when they refused, Scar used the Roar of the Elders to kill them all, ending his time as leader of the Lion Guard, as well as the Lion Guard's legacy on the Pride Lands.

He is shown in the paintings at the Lion Guard's lair.

Snow Leopards

-**Ono**, **Ghost of the Mountain**

**Snow Leopards**are felines that appear in *The Lion Guard* universe.

## Appearance

Snow leopards have whitish to gray fur with black spots on their head and neck, but larger rosettes on the back, flanks and bushy tail. The belly is whitish. The fur is thick with hairs between 5 and 12 cm (2.0 and 4.7 in) long. The colors of their eyes can vary from pale green to gray in color. Additionally, compared to other cats of the *Panthera* genus, the body of a snow leopard is stocky, short-legged and slightly smaller.

## Information

Snow leopards feature several distinct adaptations for living in a cold, arid mountainous environment. They are as follows:

* Their bodies are stocky, with thick, soft fur, and their ears are small and rounded. (These features help minimize heat loss.)
* Their paws are broad and well distribute their body weight for walking on snow (acting like natural snowshoes) and have fur on their undersides to help increase their grip on steep and unstable surfaces. (They also help minimize heat loss.)
* Their tail is long and flexible to help maintain balance on rocky terrain; it is also very thick due to fat storage, and is very thickly covered in fur, thus letting the leopard use it like a blanket to protect its face while it sleeps.
* Their nasal cavities are wide, and short, which helps to warm the air before it reaches the leopard's lungs.
* They can survive incredibly high falls.

Unlike other Panthera felids, the snow leopard doesn’t have a specific larynx required to roar and despite their namesake, snow leopards are actually a sister relative to **Tigers** as opposed to **Leopards**.

## In The Lion Guard

Snow leopards are very stealthy predators as their coloring can camouflage them to be nearly invisible to other animals, even depicting them as a ghost. Though it’s mostly possible by using snow to cover their body, which means they are completely visible without snow. This amazing ability can scare off prey or enemies thanks to their amazing speed and agile movementsm. This ability could also be considered a great defense mechanism for hiding away from enemies.

With their speed, they can travel nearly as fast as leopards like Makucha. They're great climbers for trees or mountains.

Their sense of smell is strong, nearly as strong as a leopard, as proven by Chuluun shown as she was able to lock on to the remnants of Bunga's scent near the pass to the Tree of Life.
Sumu/Relationships

Tupp

**Tupp** is a male jerboa who appears in Season 3 of *The Lion Guard*.

## Background

### Appearances

Tupp has light brown fur on his body, tan fur on his lower face, a darker tan around his dark brown eyes, cinnamon colored eyebrows, and brown markings on the top of his head and the tip of his tail. Like other jerboas, his legs are long and bald, and he has a brown tuft of fur on his head.

### Personality

Tupp is friendly and helpful. However, he can become rude and grouchy when he's disturbed from sleep.

## Role in the series

### *Journey of Memories*

Tupp first appears telling Bunga to keep the noise level down after hearing Bunga stomping to which he does not realize he is making noise near his home. He then explains to Ono that he is in fact a jerboa to which he explains that like any other desert animal, he is nocturnal. Kion accidentally scares him for being rude to the Lion Guard as the jerboa retreats to which he then regrets his actions. Kion later explains that the Lion Guard can't stay out in the sun much longer due to the extreme heat in which Ono remembers what Tupp explained to him that most desert animals do not come out during the day and are more active at night to which the Lion Guard decides to build a shelter just like what a jerboa does.

Tupp later appears hopping towards Kion to which Kion apologizes for scaring him and introduces him to the Lion Guard. He then accepts Kion's apology and he also apologizes to Kion for being rude and unkind to visitors. Tupp introduces himself and explains that he is a not really a diurnal animal telling the group that he saw them taking his advice of escaping the intense heat. Tupp takes the group to get water for them to stay hydrated. Upon arriving to a large desert plant, Tupp explains that he does not drink much water himself, but travelers arriving in the desert must always drink water to stay refreshed. He tells the Guard that the plant's leaves collect water to which the Guard feels hydrated after getting water from the plant. Anga is then curious about how Tupp found it to which he explains that animals in the desert do not look down at the ground to find their way but instead, they look up at the sky to find their way. Looking at the sky, Makini explains that the stars she saw at the sky are like a field of flowers, just like the flowers at the moja kwa moja stone leading to the next landmark the Guard saw earlier. Tupp explains that the stars in a form of a diamond always stay in the same place in the sky to which he explains that the stars lead to the path across the desert to the tall cliffs to which the Guard decides to follow the path to the cliff.

The **first season** of the animated *The Lion Guard* television series premiered on January 15, 2016, with the airing of "Never Judge a Hyena by its Spots" on Disney Junior. It concluded on April 21, 2017, with the airing of "Ono the Tickbird".

## Development

Ford Riley was tasked with inventing a new TV series for Disney. When he heard about how they wanted to expand *The Lion King* following a successful rerelease of the film in 3-D in theaters and on Blu-ray, he came up with the idea for *The Lion Guard*. Since Disney specifically told him that it should have a universal appeal but be skewed a little more towards boys, he came up with the concept of *The Lion Guard* while looking to his son's games for inspiration.

Season 1 introduced several new characters and recurring guest stars to the Lion King franchise, such as Blair Underwood (*Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D*) as Makuu, Christian Slater (Disney XD's *Milo Murphy's Law*) as Ushari, and Ana Gasteyer (*The Goldbergs*) as Reirei.

## Episodes

The following is a list of episodes featured in Season 1 of *The Lion Guard* TV series.

Warthogs

**Warthogs** are swines that appear in ***The Lion Guard*** universe. They live in the **Pride Lands**.

## Appearance

### In the Real World

Prick-like bristles in various shades of brown and gray cover the warthog's body, although longer bristles form a mane from the top of the head down the spine to the middle of the back. The long tail ends with a tuft of bristles. The warthog characteristically carries its tail upright when it runs like a tiny flag. The warthog's large tusks are unusual: The two upper ones emerge from the sides of the snout to form a semicircle; the lower tusks at the base of the uppers are worn to a sharp cutting edge.

### In *The Lion Guard*

**One warthog** in *The Lion Guard* has red fur and a ridge of hair running along his head and back. He is the size of an average **lion** cub.

## Information

Warthogs are swines that are closely related to pigs, boars, and hogs. Males weigh 20-50 pounds more than females, but both are distinguished by their disproportionately large heads and “warts” which are protective pads that appear on both sides of the head. Warthogs are omnivores that feed on grass, insects and worms. They often fall prey to many predators, but they are able to defend themselves with their sharp tusks.

*So this is my last night*
*Before the biggest day of my life*
*Can one more big fight*
*Put an end to all this strife?*
*We'll finally end this war*
*Who can know for sure?*
**Fuli**:

*On the last night*
**Ono:**
*Everything looks safe and sound*
*But I want to be sure*
*One more flight around*
*Will help reassure*
*The skies all seem clear*
*No sign of danger here*
**Kion:**
*Yeah, I know everything's in place*
*But, still those doubts make my thoughts race*
*Need someone to put my mind at rest*
*Before I take this final test*
**All:**
*So bring it on tomorrow*
*When the Pride Lands unite*
*(Pride Lands unite)*
*We're going into battle*
*(To battle)*
*With bravery and might*
*(Bravery and might)*
*And, we'll always do what's right*
*(Always do what's right)*
*And, we'll stand as one and fight*
*(Stand as one and fight)*
*With the end almost in sight*
**Kion:**
*On the last night*

## Trivia

* This is the last song that Max Charles sings in the series.

* This is the only song to far to be about every member of the Lion Guard supporting each other when they work together to protect the Pride Lands.
* Fuli openly admits both her loyalty, feelings and deep worry for her best friend Kion, the leader of the Lion Guard. She vows to always stay by his side and go with him stride for stride.
Tree of Life

**“**The Tree of Life is a safe place for animals who are hurt or sick.**”**

–Makini, Battle for the Pride Lands

**The Tree of Life** is a location that is home to Rani, Kion, the Night Pride, and many rare animals. It is the true home and origin of the Roar of the Elders.

## Information

The Tree of Life is a safe haven where animals from everywhere come to heal or if they are of an endangered species. Rafiki told the Lion Guard about it near the end of Battle for the Pride Lands. They hope to receive help for problems for which they can't find any solutions elsewhere. The Tree of Life has all kinds of animal habitats.

The Tree of Life appears to have mystical powers, as Queen Janna channeled its energy to help heal Ono's eyes to restore his vision. This power appears to have limits, as Janna could not restore Ono's vision to be as keen as it used to be.
