**Wema** is a female hyena.

When Wema and her clan are driven from their watering hole by a pride of lions known as the Outsiders, Jasiri goes to Kion, the son of Simba and Nala, for help. Upon meeting Kion, Wema and Tunu are fearful of him, and they continue to hide from him even after he returns the watering hole to the hyena clan.

Later, the Lion Guard saves Wema, Jasiri, and Tunu from perishing in a lava pit.

## Biography

#### Early life

Wema lived in the Outlands. She was a member of Jasiri's clan.

### Cubhood

#### Conflict with the Outsiders

When a pride of lions known as the Outsiders overtook Wema and her clan's watering hole, Jasiri appealed to her friend, Kion, for help. Upon arriving at the clan's hideaway, Kion saw Tunu and Wema playing with Jasiri's sister, Madoa. The two cubs caught sight of Kion and hid, and refused to emerge even after Kion comforted them. Madoa explained that Kion should not blame them for their behavior, for they had only ever known bad lions.

After Kion returned the watering hole to Jasiri's clan, Kion asked Tunu and Wema if they were still scared of him. To the amusement of both Jasiri and Madoa, the cubs hid from him once more.

#### Janja's attack

One day, Jasiri was playing with Tunu and Wema. Janja watched from afar and ordered his clan to attack the trio. The clan launched their attack, and Jasiri desperately attempted to protect the cubs from harm. In the midst of the fight, Janja forced the three into an open steam vent, where lava was steadily rising to the surface. As the clan gathered around, preventing any attempt at escape, Madoa resolved to get Kion's help.

Eventually, the Lion Guard arrived and engaged in a fight with the hyenas. As the Lion Guard got the upper hand in the fight, they steered Janja's clan away from the edge of the steam vent. With the hyenas out of the way, Kion ordered Beshte to push a large rock into the lava flow, which allowed Tunu, Wema, and Jasiri to clamber to safety.

After the rescue, Jasiri thanked the Lion Guard for their help and expressed concern over how overzealous Janja and his clan had been. Kion blamed the dry season for Janja's odd behavior, and the two groups departed, with Jasiri returning Tunu and Wema to their clan.

#### Hyena Resistance

Wema looked on as Jasiri convinced her clanmates to form the Hyena Resistance.

### Adolescence

#### Janja's visit

When Janja appealed to Jasiri for help, he visited her clan's watering hole, where Wema slept next to Tunu.

## Physical appearance

Like the females of her clan, Wema has purple-tinged gray fur. She has dark gray stripes along her back and black ears and legs. The beginnings of a dark mane extends from her forehead to in-between her shoulder blades, and her tail is black with a pinkish-gray underside. Her eyes are purple.

## Personality and traits

Wema is innocent and playful. Like Tunu, she harbors a deep-rooted fear of lions. Even after Kion saved Jasiri's clan from the Outsiders, Wema continued to react with fright to his presence. Eventually, she overcame her fear of lions and expressed gratitude to the Lion Guard for their help. She is especially fond of her clan leader, Jasiri.
