## Characteristics

### Personality & traits

Before meeting Nassor and Njeri, Safiri was a loner. She kept to herself and keeping away from all other animals, only really coming up when she needed to hunt. She eventually met Nassor and Njeri when Nassor was teaching Njeri how to hunt. She was at first surprised to see a male lion teaching a young female to hunt since during her travels she'd only see the female do the hunting. She ended up following the siblings before making her presence known, but to her shock, Nassor knew she was following them. He just didn't say anything, he was waiting for her to speak first.

### Physical appearance

Her upper eye shading is a dark beige-color while the lower eye shading is the same color as her muzzle. She has pale light sky blue eyes and a dark brown tail tuft. She has a dark dorsal stripe that starts behind her ears and stops between her eyes, it also goes down along her back.

### *The New Legacy 1: The Beginning*

After her mother's passing, Safiri left her birth land and began to travel. Her travels would eventually take her to lands just east of the Pride Lands where she would find herself watching a young adult Nassor teaching his adolescent sister Njeri how to hunt.

Curious about why a male was teaching a female to hunt, and about Nassor himself, Safiri followed them for a while. Eventually, Nassor made Safiri reveal herself and noted that he knew she was following them, much to her shock. Njeri then suggested that Safiri join them in finding their new home. Though it took some convincing, Safiri joined the siblings. At some point, she and Nassor fell in love and she had a son and three daughters. Sadly, the daughters all passed away during the journey leaving their son, Salene the sole survivor, making her extremely protective.

## Quotes

**Safiri:** *"Why are you, a male, teaching a female how to hunt?"*
**Nassor:** *"Because it's the right thing to do. If I didn't, she'd have to rely on me. There could be a time where I cannot hunt for both of us."*
—Safiri asking why Nassor was teaching Njeri how to hunt.

Pride Lands monarchy

The **Pride Lands monarchy** is the ruling system of the Pride Lands.

## Information

The monarchy operates as an absolute monarchy, in which the current monarch exercises supreme governing authority as both the head of state and head of government. In the franchise, the animals of Pride Lands serve as the subjects of the alpha lion, who, in turn, serves as the monarch.

Succession to the crown is hereditary, and the monarchy appears to have absolute (or equal) primogeniture, meaning that no gender is preferred over the other. However, a succession may occur due to a coup d'état as seen with Salene being defeated by rogue Jelani and later with Everu killing his sister-in-law's brother, Mufasa.

## List of Known Monarchs

The Monarchs, also known as the **King of the Pride Lands** or **Queen of the Pride Lands**, are the supreme rulers of the Pride Lands, often chosen through hereditary connections or usurpation.

## List of Consorts

The Consorts, also known as **Consort of the Heir to the Pride Lands**, are the mates chosen by the royal-blooded monarchs to rule at their sides. Betrothals are chosen by parents, and it is a tradition going back generations. Presumably, neither the consorts nor the betrothals have a say in the matter, until the reigning king or queen dies and the new king or queen decides otherwise.

## List of Heirs

The Heirs, also known as the **Heir to the Pride Lands**, is the heir next in line for the throne after the reigning monarch passes away, steps down from power, or retires. Contrary to popular belief, the child of the current monarch is not the only sole heir. Everyone from children, siblings, and even distant cousins are in line for the throne, a necessary procedure if the current monarch is unable to rule, if the monarch changes their mind about the line of succession, or if the monarch doesn't produce an offspring to succeed him or her.

However, in some cases, the chosen Heir, also known as the **"Blood Heir"**, is the one that takes over. Even though the heir's mate may include their thoughts and options, the Blood Heir is the one that makes the final choice. There is no who is in charge of the heir and their mate, they have an equal rule.

* *So far, Abasi is the only one with an arranged mate. Everyone else has chosen.*

## List of Stewards, Advisers, and Majordomos

### Majordomo/Stewards

The stewards, also called **The Majordomo of the Pride Lands**, are officials who are appointed by the ruling monarch to represent him or her in areas of the kingdom. They can also serve as the majordomo to the monarch and his or her family by speaking for, making arrangements, alerting, or performing the tasks asked by the monarch.

Most advisers are appointed by the monarch.

 **Zuzu** | Zuzu is the second majordomo; appointed by Vita.

### Advisers

Advisers, also called **The Royal Adviser of the Pride Lands**, are also officials to the monarch, as they offer suggestions to the monarch when they are facing serious issues within the kingdom.

### *The New Legacy 2: Reign of Salene*

Pride Landers

The **Pride Landers** are the inhabitants of the Pride Lands who are ruled by a reigning monarch.

## Background

### *The New Legacy 1: The Beginning*

The Pride-Landers are first seen when Nassor, Safiri, Njeri, and Salene are making their way through the Pride Lands to find a place to call home.
They get help from many animals all seeing Safiri struggle and try to keep her only cub alive.

### *The New Legacy 2: Reign of Salene*

The Pride Landers are seen following the passing of Nassor and Salene's crowning as King.

### *The New Legacy 7: Rise of a King*

At the start of the film, Pride Landers from all over the Pride Lands journey to Pride Rock to witness the presentation of Simba, the son of Mufasa and Sarabi. When Simba is raised above the gathered animals, the Pride Landers burst into cheers and bow before him, recognizing his sovereign status as the future king.

Months later, when Simba is on a walk through the kingdom with his father Mufasa, he is taught to respect the other animals of the Pride Lands, for they are all a part of the great Circle of Life. Simba wonders how all the animals can function together if lions eat antelope, but Mufasa explains that when lions die, their bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. Therefore, they are all part of the Circle of Life.

Later that day, Simba and his friend, Nala, lose their babysitter, Zazu, by singing "I Just Can't Wait to be King" with several Pride Landers, who help distract and stall Zazu. The next day, Simba is put in danger when he is caught in a stampede of wildebeests. Though the wildebeests escape unharmed, Mufasa dies trying to save his son from the stampede.

Following Mufasa's death, his younger brother Scar rises to the throne, and he lets the hyenas poach the land. Because of the hyenas' over-hunting, many of the Pride Landers leave, abandoning the Pride Lands to drought and famine. Eventually, Simba returns to the throne, and the Pride Landers return to the kingdom. Shortly into Simba's reign, the Pride Landers travel to Pride Rock, where they welcome Simba and Nala's newborn cub into the Circle of Life.

With her unable to give him a healthy male cub, Everu picks the rogue, Zira to give him sons, replacing Sarabi as his queen.

## Background

### *The New Legacy 7: Rise of a King*

#### Everu's reign

After the death of Mufasa and Simba, Sarabi is chosen by Everu to be his queen. She has her litter of two cubs, named Ujana and Misa. But because they are girls Scar is unimpressed. Sarabi vows to give him a son in her next litter, which she does, but sadly he is stillborn. Her second litter consists of Awiti, Sanaa, Nuru, and the only boy and stillborn Zikomo.

With the death of Zikomo, Sarabi is replaced as Queen by Zira.

Tariro

* Adult
* Cub

**Tariro** is an adult female lioness and one of the Princesses of the Zuberi Pride. She is the daughter of Imanu and Nakato, younger sister of Kibwe and Subira, niece Sneha and cousin of Azima. She is also the youngest granddaughter of Akilah. Through her sister's marriage to Crown Prince Mufasa, she is the aunt of Simba and Amira.

## Appearance

Unlike her siblings who take after their parents, Tariro takes after her aunt, inheriting her brilliant golden-orange pelt with a tan muzzle, paws, and underbelly. Her upper eye shades are dark brown while her lower eye shades are about the same color as her muzzle. Her tail tuft is a dark reddish brown color, the same color as Mufasa's mane. She is often confused to be Mufasa's twin.

## Personality

Tariro is usually a kind, generous, and friendly lioness. She does, however, hold grudges, as seen when her parent spent more time with her brother and sister than with her. She has a strong bond with her aunt and cousin, acting more of a family with them than her actual one.

## Background

Tariro was born during the reign of Jatau and Thema to Imanu and Nakato of the Zuberi Pride, and Kibwe and Subira's younger sister, and the cousin of Azima.

Growing up, Tariro was closer to her aunt and cousin rather than her parents due to father training the two of them most of the time and their mother was usually off leading the hunting parties. This did cause Tariro to rebel for a bit was but was quickly calmed down by Azima.

Norbarden

### Phänotypisches

Norbarden besitzen die typische gebräunte Haut und die schwarzen Haare ihrer Vorfahren. Verheiratete Männer rasieren sich den Schädel vollständig. Verheiratete Frauen rasieren sich nur den Scheitel aus.

### Kultur

Die Norbarden sind ein Volk von fahrenden Händlern und Krämern. Sie leben in einer matriarchalischen Sippengesellschaft, denen eine Muhme vorsteht. Diese wird oft von einer Zibilja beraten. Der Hesindekult der Norbarden war möglicherweise der Grund für ihren Exodus aus dem Tulamidenland. Sie gelten allgemein als gastfreundlich, werden jedoch oftmals auch mit Misstrauen beäugt.
Elephant Graveyard

The **Elephant Graveyard** is a barren wasteland filled with the remains of elephants who have gone there to die of old age.

## Information

The Elephant Graveyard is located beyond a rise that marks the northern border of the Pride Lands. It is a dry, barren, rocky wasteland, perpetually covered in fog that casts a shadow over the area, even in the daytime. Bones of dead elephants litter the landscape. The area is geothermally active, containing many natural steam vents. It was the home of the hyenas.

The Graveyard is named after the various elephant skeletons that litter the area. It is also known for the numerous geysers that were located there. The graveyard is visible from Pride Rock as a shadowy area. It has been speculated that part of the reason the Elephant Graveyard is such a terrible place is that the hyenas live there, especially considering what they did to the Pride Lands during their residence there.

The Graveyard has two "districts": the Graveyard District where most of the bones of dead elephants lie with only a few boilers and the Geyser District, which has geysers, boilers, and suffers from earth tremors and explosions of lava.

## Background

### *The New Legacy 1: The Beginning*

The Elephant Graveyard is a location where Nassor, Safiri, Njeri and young Salene travel through before they reach the Pride Lands. They ended up running into a few hyenas, but the leader, an unusual but kind one named Aminifu helped them get through while her brother Alhaadi distracted the rest of the pack.

## Quotes

Aminifu: "Why are you here?"
Nassor: "We are just passing through."
Alhaadi: "Sis, the rest of the clan."
Aminifu: "Come with me. Alhaadi, distract the clan!"
— Aminifu and her brother Alhaadi helping Nassor and his family escape the graveyard.
Circle of Life

**Mufasa**: "*Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.*"
**Simba and Amira**: "*But, Dad, don't we eat the antelope?*"
**Mufasa**: "*Yes, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life.*"
— Mufasa with Simba and Amira on their Royal Lesson

The **Circle of Life** (also known as the **Great Circle of Life**) is an ideology that is held by many creatures of Pride Lands, among them the royal-blooded rulers of Pride Rock.

## Information

### *The New Legacy 3: Era of Jabari*

*"When you are strong, return and reclaim your place. You are no good to us dead. I know you will return to use, big and powerful. You will take your place as King and put the Circle of Life back in order."*
— Njeri to Jabari
The Circle of Life is first mentioned by Njeri as she works to save her grand-nephew Jabari by having him leave the Pride Lands when two rogues attack and kill his father and become the new kinds. After Jabari's departure, Njeri prays to the Great Spirits of the Past for his safe return when he comes home to take his place as king.

### *The New Legacy 7: Rise of a King*

*"You must take your place in the Circle of Life."*
— Mufasa to his children
The Circle of Life is first mentioned when Mufasa takes his children out for their Royal Lesson to how to become a good ruler. In order to help the Pride Lands thrive, a lion must follow the principles of the Circle of Life, respecting all the creatures so that nature can follow its natural course.

Everu abandons this principle when he leaves the Pride Lands to the hyenas' mercy. As a consequence, the land undergoes a harsh drought and famine, leaving the Pridelanders practically abandoned in a graveyard. Following this harsh turn of events, Mufasa appears as a ghost before his son, reminding Simba that he must take his place in the Circle of Life in order to restore his homeland. Following his father's orders, Simba returns home and defeats Everu, thus restoring the Pride Lands to their former glory and completing the Circle of Life.
Omarr

**Omarr** is an adult male spotted hyena. He is the **Healer of the Eastern Pride** and their only hyena.

Raised by a lioness, Omarr is not like normal hyenas. As a younger hyena, he often ran away from things that could lead to bigger things.

## Appearance

Omarr has the normal appearance of a hyena, gray coat, black spots, black legs, and black hair and tail.

## Personality

Compared to the Pride Lands hyenas, Omarr is kind, caring, and wise. Seeing as he was raised where his mother was raised by a lioness following his grandmother's death, he was able to see the good. Omarr is wise in words and is very patient, even with cubs that are not.

Growing up, he was taught to always believe that some animal has some good in them. But to never right away be friendly. Prior to joining the Eastern Pride, he was cautious (still is), and has a fear of rouges due to his childhood.

## Background

Not much is know about Omarr's past. His mother was friends with a lioness who later raised her after the passing of his mother. While growing up, he was told that some rouges were mean and would probably kill him if they saw him. Due to this, Omarr has a slight fear of rouges. Following his adoptive mother's passing, Omarr traveled, often hiding when rouge lions are nearby. He eventually found his way to the East Lands where he was found by a patrol of lions, who took him in to let him heal and gain strength.

After spending many months (moons) with the pride, even after healing and gaining his full strength, he found himself at ease with the pride and eventually became their healer (due to his knowledge) on herbs with his travels.

## Trivia

* Omarr is the only known hyena that lives in the East Lands/Eastern Pride.
Zuberi Pride

The **Zuberi Pride**, also known as the **Western Pride**, is a lion pride that resides within the West Lands. They are ruled by a reigning monarch and located in the West Lands.

## Background

### *The New Legacy 3: Era of Jabari*

Shortly after Jabari became King, a pair of rouges arrived in the Pride Lands looking for a place to call home. Since there was no one ruling the West Lands, Jabari and Tashiya suggested that they take residence there.

At some point in time, Jabari and Ikenna set up an arranged marriage with his son, Abasi and their daughter, Zalika. An arranged marriage between Jabari's daughter Aminia and Ikenna's son, Omorede was also set up.

### *Between The New Legacy 6 and 7*

Sometime between *Thema's Rule* and *Rise of the King*, King Imanu stepped down as king giving the Crownship to his son, Kibwe. Kibwe had already chosen former Nomad/Rogue Amali as his mate.

Gasira

**Gasira** is an adult female lioness and a member of the Kgosi Pride. She is the oldest daughter of Juno and the older twin sister of Hasina.

## Characteristics

### Personality & traits

Gasira is extremely strong-headed and protective. She isn't afraid to voice her thoughts, though she is careful who she says what to. She's protective of her mother and sister, especially Hasina because of her blindness. She rarely leaves her sister alone, especially after Salene is killed by Jelani and Kariuki.

When Hasina is assaulted by Kariuki when she and Juno are away, Gasira blames herself for not being there. When she learns her sister is expecting, she refuses to go on hunts, opting to stay with her sister (she got into a fur scuffle with the new leaders doing that but thankfully Sarauniya was able to help her out). Gasira is also known for having a short temper, but upon becoming a mother, her temper slowly goes down, but it's still there no doubt.

## Physical appearance

A strong yet medium-sized lioness, Gasira has a golden-colored pelt with her underbelly and muzzle being a lighter shade. She has orange eyes and a brown tail tuff.

## History

### Backstory

Gasira was born to Juno most likely between the reigns of Nassor and Salene to Juno and is Hasina's older twin sister. While some families would abandon or kill cubs with useless talents, the twins' mother did not. She refused to, sadly, her mate didn't care for Hasina and did try to kill her off. Thankfully, the twins' mother was able to keep him away. Though it ended with their parents separating for good, Gasira and Hasina had a good life. It was hard for their mother to teach Gasira how to hunt while trying to keep an eye on her younger daughter, but their mother was able to overcome it.

Upon becoming adults, the sisters and their mother began to travel in hopes of finding a pride that would take all of them in, not just Gasira and their mother. Thankfully, they did not have to look far and soon made their way into the Pride Lands.

On this platform, the lion king of the Pride Lands stands while the animals of his kingdom pay homage to him. It is also the place where the alpha lion's offspring that will succeed him is presented to the animals in a ceremony. Also, when the new ruling lion ascends to ruler ship of the lands, he stands on the platform and roars loudly, formally claiming control of The Pride Lands. The other lions of the den gather below the platform and roar in reply, signifying their acknowledgment and acceptance of the new Lion King.
