As an infant, Kion's appearance almost looked the same to what he is now, except that his nose was pink and he had three small spots on his hindquarters and a tan-yellow coat with white whiskers.

As a teenager, Kion has grown taller. His mane has grown slightly larger and most of the spots on his legs have faded. He also has a scar on his left eye.

## Personality

Kion is very observant and skilled at piecing together information. He has faith in his friends and is sensitive to their feelings, disliking seeing them hurt. Kion also cares deeply for his mother Nala, his father Simba, and his sister Kiara. He cares for all of the Pride Landers and respects the Circle of Life.

His courage is undeniable, as he will face any adversary for the good of the Pride Lands, its inhabitants, or his friends. Kion is a true leader, authoritative, and willing to give orders to anyone, whether they are his friends, his family, or his enemies.

Kion was prone to panicking over things such as the topic of his crush on Mwezi. He denies this and gets away ASAP. This eased after talking to Kiara.
