#Zira the Apprentice

[theworldofmycreations]

Here is my third Disney kid (and the first I would create all of those years ago).

This is Amaya, the daughter of Kiara and Kovu. She has some pretty big paws to fill as not only is she the future queen of the Pridelands, and was the first cub Makini (Rafiki’s apprentice) presented after Rafiki stepped down, but, is one of the first cubs to be born since the defeat of Zira and the union between the Pridelanders and the Outsiders two years ago.

She was born during a summer evening rainstorm, hence why her parents gave her the name, “Amaya”. As she grew into a cub, Amaya grew to love learning about the ways of the land and hearing the stories of the kings and queens before her family. She has also grown to be kind to (almost) all of the animals in the Pridelands. In fact, some of her good friends are the animals that live in her kingdom.

Aside from the animals on the grasslands, she is also good friends with two rogue lion cubs, Kiume (a rogue lion cub the lionesses of Pride Rock took in when he was a baby after his mother perished in a famine and was instantly betrothed to Amaya after her birth) and Haki (a lion cub who ran away from his pride after being mistreated by his father).

As you can see, Amaya looks a lot like her mother with her inherited fur color and body structure, but, in some ways, she is like her father. She inherited his eyes, nose, and is a little scruffy like an outsider (and when she grows into a lioness, she gains a scar on her right eye because of a wildebeest’s horn during her first hunt). She has also inherited ear rims that are similar to her great-grandmother Sarabi’s.

Due to her kind nature, the pride and the animals have no doubt that Amaya will grow up to be a great queen one day.

A little self indulgent post about my other non-binary apprentices celebrating Alessa coming out. In hindsight with so many non-binary, feminine presenting apprentices I should have seen it coming. 😂

[celticat21]

Alessa has a pretty loud voice and she has an even louder laugh. For a while she was self-conscious about it and didn’t talk too much because of it, but now she doesn’t care as much. Unless its a library or a funeral she will be her loud self. She also has a New Jersey accent. Her voice claim is probably Rapunzel or Anna from Frozen. Fun fact: She can sing opera. 

Tabitha doesn’t speak that often, but when she does her voice is pretty deep. She does have an accent, if you would call it one, because she had to learn to speak without hearing. 

Freya is very soft spoken, but her voice is deep and soothing. She can make you feel safe and calm almost anywhere. She has a small Swedish accent. I was thinking something like Cameron Diaz or Scarlett Johanson. 

Winona sounds like Mary Elizabeth Winstead I think, but with an accent where they pronounce all “w” sounds with a “v” and all “Th” sounds with either a “v” or “d”.  They are very loud, even if by accident, and are often kicked out of libraries. They react verbally to everything in a book or play and get very excited very easily. When they get excited their voice gets higher. 

Zira: Jessica Rabbit. That is who she sounds like. I knew that from  the start. She is even making her voice artificially lower, as her tone is more naturally high pitched. 

As a bonus Masha sounds like your typical kid, but her voice claim would be “Dot” from “A Bug’s life” (voiced by Hayden Panettiere at the time).

Katarina sounds similar to Ariel Winter, where her voice is more high pitched. She doesn’t talk particularly loud but does laugh very loud. She also mumbles when working on her art

Fun OC question : How would you describe your oc's voice? Do they have an accent?

Do you have any voice headcanons in mind?

Part 2 & 3 of my Kid Icarus Warrior Cats AU~

Darkkit decides that he is own apprentice and goes to learn things on his own outside of LightClan territory. His venture is stopped suddenly by Star Pantherblaze (Pandora), who sees him as an opportunity to get rid of LightClan. She kitnaps him and takes him to her camp.

Darkkit tells Pitkit to go get help, but Palelight is very reluctant to leave her clan vulnerable or bring everyone to fight. She makes a difficult decision and let's CalamityClan keep Darkkit hostage.

[[ Darkkit will remember that. ]]

Darkkit is angry (and afraid), and Pitkit is sad :(

This was originally gonna go a different direction, where Pitkit sneaks out of camp too and rescues Darkkit. Palelight realizes he snuck out but can't go after him, so she guides Pitkit. Pitkit climbs a tall rock, hides in the bushes, then jumps out at Pantherblaze, causing her to drop Darkkit (who clings to the branches). 

Pitkit bites her neck and Darkkit jumps down and shoves Pantherblaze into sharp rocks, which takes one of her lives. The kits run off, and Darkkit proclaims that they defeated Star Pantherblaze. 

They are actually two moons old here, so this draft was stretching it a bit lol. Even if in KI cannon they could definitely throw hands with a god despite being the size of a small child, they are tiny kits here so that unfortunately doesn't apply xD

They do have slightly unnatural strength as they grow older though. Strong bois :)

Once known as Zira, this dragon is the headmistress of a mysterious, otherworldly academy. She was born in a farming villiage where magic was frowned upon. When she started showing mysterious powers her family became socially isolated. It became so bad that even buying food was difficult, and the family fell into poverty. Her parents discussed often what to do. They knew that sending their daughter away would give them a chance to survive but they loved her and refused to bend to the social pressure. However, knowing that leaving would help her parents, Zira decided to run away. Using her powers to conceal herself she fled into the woods and lived on her own, travelling just off the side of the road and stealing what she needed from camping travellers. Then, one day, she found the camp of an elderly man. She tried to steal from him but he called to her as she was sneaking away. She thought she had just been clumsy, though when she ignored the man's beckoning calls and tried to bolt, she discovered it was more. She was grasp by invisible magic hands and dragged to the old man's side. She was first scolded, and then invited to eat with him. The only over magic user she had ever come across, she asked him to teach him how to use her powers and he took her on as his apprentice. He showed her old manuscripts he had collected and she studied them diligently. She quickly became powerful, and by the time she became an adult, she had already mastered several different types of magic. The old man tried to warn her away from darker, less controllable magics. Though this was to no avail, as every chance she got, Zira would research the forbidden magics. She was determined she could control them; she was strong, wasn't she? Several times, she could recall the old man complimenting her as one of the most talented magic users he had ever met. She was wrong; once used, the dark powers took a hold of her and her magic became unstable and dangerous, exploding out of her in bursts that destroyed everything it touched. She tried to hide her mistake from the old man and run away, but every time she went into a town or city, she would cause an accident. She was hunted down by the authorities and locked away; with talks of more severe punishment. Then the old man found her. He broke her out of her prison and they fled together into the woods. She begged him for help to stablise her magic and he told her he would help; but for now, she had to rest. Reluctantly she went to sleep- And woke up the next morning in a dark, empty new world. She rested on a platform of floating stone, and for as far as she could see there was nothing but swirling purple mist. Fear gripped her; but then she heard the old man's voice speaking to her. The old man explained that he, loving Zira like his own daughter, had used an ancient ritual to create her a new world where she could be safe until her magic was controllable and safe. But doing so had used all of his power, and he had become one with the world; in a way, he WAS the world. He kept Zira safe until she finally learnt how to control her new powers. And once she had her magic under control he opened a portal into her old world for her. She took a vial of the mists from the world, placing it on a chain around her neck, so that she could still speak with the old man. She lived peacefully for a few years, before she heard rumours of another magic user with dark, uncontrolled powers that was running rampant. She sought them out and, finding a scared young boy that was far too much like herself, reopened the portal into the old man's universe and took the young magic user into the other world to train him. After this, she continued to pick up more lost magic users. She found herself unable to ignore their cries for help and brought them into the other world; which grew with its inhabitants until it was a sanctuary of magic and learning. Determination is not sure when her name changed, or even how long she's been alive anymore (dark magic has its effects, both good and bad), but she knows

that for as long as she breathes she will be seeking out and teaching lost souls to better themselves.

Warrior Cat Profile: Robinwing

Names: Rita, Robinpaw, Robinwing

Rank: Drifter, Warrior

Parents: unknown

Siblings: unknown

Voice: Suzanne Pleshette (Zira: Lion king 2-Simba’s pride)

Orientation: Lesbian

Identity: CisMolly

Mentor: Mumblethroat

Apprentice: Spottedleaf, Darkstripe, Sandpaw

Mate: Speckletail

Kits: Cherrypaw, Chestnutpaw, Dustpaw

Description: a large reddish brown tabby molly with a fluffy tail and scars, one notable on her head; green eyes

An opportunist Rita gladly took the offer Pinestar gave her to join the Clowder of Thunder after her Pride was killed by Wargs. Taking the name Robinpaw she grudgingly accepts the then deputy Mumblethroat as her mentor in hopes that after she finds her special skill she will be given an more important mentor and one not so old that should had retired long ago. To her disappointment she never did, her only good skills were hunting and fighting, the skills that any warrior can do. Much to her rage and anger many say it’s because of her outsider blood and thus began her many rants that those who joined the Clowders have to prove their worth that their is no such thing as slacking off.

Once given the name Robinwing she started courting Speckletail, a caretaker and a Catriles whose blood has been in the Clowder for many generations. While many know that Robinwing didn’t courted her for love, there is no denying that they do love each other, that Robinwing will take no comments against her mate. In fact when Speckeltail took in the two foundlings, Goldenflower and Lionheart she told them they better work hard that not only were they outsiders but any fault against them would be place on Specketail’s shoulders which just made her mate shake her head and roll her eyes telling the two foundlings to not listen to the old grouch.

When she had Cherrypaw and Chestnutpaw she was very excited, this was the start of her blood joining the Clowder… when Speckletail brought in the kit that would be known as Dustpaw she… was less so. But she could not denied her mate and thus taking the small kit in, even declaring him now her son with how well her own kits acted around him, and a small part seeing herself in him… even if she’s a little disappointed that Dustpaw had failed his trial to become a warrior along with his siblings… ignoring the rage and anger she was hearing from the likes of Sheepear who was whispering that it was because of his outsider blood and the fact that Robinwing raised him

She is very traditional in the ways of the Clowder and very much sided with Thistleclaw who should had been leader as it was his birth right not bluestar’s. She is very much angry that not only Bluestar will not declare Tigerclaw his deputy to start his training to become Leader she has now brought in a small kit from the cotillion and made the newly name Blazepaw her apprentice

[celticat21]

Masha giggles and hides her face. Zira smiles brighter. “Aw, you just made her day!”

Zira smiles, carrying Masha. "Not a question, but Masha wanted to say something to Anya. Go ahead, sweetie." Masha looks down shyly. "I like your name. Its pretty and it sounds like mine! A little bit, but not a lot."

Anya cried out happily and waved to Masha. “Thank you so much! But I don’t know I think I might like yours better.”

OUAT is The lion king

Have you ever think of how ouat could be a version of tlk? (a SwanQueen one to be precise)

Charming and Snow are obvioulsy Simba and Nala (the royal couple). And Emma is Kiara (precious little rebellious princess)

Cora is the perfect Zira (crazy psycho who use her child for her nasty goal), Regina is Kovu (controled by her mother and ending falling for the daughter of the enemy) and Zelena is Vitani (those blue eyes)

Rumple is Scar because he is just fab like him (and kinda adopt/mentor Regina/Kovu)

And for those who have seen The lion guard tvshow, Hnery can be Kion (even if he is Nala and Simba’s son and not Kovu and Kiara’s).And Jacinda could be Rani.

It’s all make sense!

Oh, and Timon and Pumba could be Robin and Neal (Hook can be Nuka XD )

I need two people for Zazu and Rafiki... Who’s boring but wise? The blue fairy? Or Granny? And who’s the crazy and wise? Merlin? The apprentice? Idk...

As for the hyenas, I would say Greg and Tamara because they were pretty stupid but they were only two, I need a 3rd... Oh I know! Isaac would be perfect.

Who’s with me? (sorry but the heat is not good for my brain XD Please don’t hate me!)

Feel free to add things (I already have some other ideas...)

DJ & Zira

Another older RP! This one is between DJ and Zira, and also features some fallout of Tony trying to sell DJ’s name as being Dummy, Jr. (What is his name? No one knows...except Dox.)

Tony & Zira’s Chat

Tony & Rhodey’s Chat

Tony & Rhodey Compile a List

The Trouble with Two Tonys

Rhodey & Zira (and Tony)

**

(Read more.)

DJ was trying to read. For once it was difficult to do. He hadn't messed up this bad in a long while.

Zira pokes her head over his shoulder; she’s bent almost double in order to do this)

Zira: Hey, DJ!!

DJ: What? (the sulk is strong in this one)

DJ sounds kinda defensive.

Zira: I have a question! Also a comment! Okok SO I was wondering how your bombs work!! Or more specifically, how badly they can hurt someone. Or act as an early warning system that hurts the attacker AND alerts the bomb setter. (she is being completely genuine)

DJ: They are explosives. So they hurt a lot. It's a chemical reaction between the base formula and the bits I add into it.

Zira: I’ve never seen them used before, and I find it so interesting the potential they have to be absolutely devastating.

DJ: Well yeah. They have a lot of uses. As I learn more formulas, I'll be able to create more effects. But they dont function in a way to act as a warning system. Too unstable

Zira: Oh wow, and I’m wondering about the potential to literally burn someplace that was formerly near indestructible to the ground. Like, say, a compound. A bomb large enough could destroy something like that?

DJ looks vaguely alarmed but not really put off by the question.

DJ: I'm not really knowledgeable enough for something that strong yet.

Zira: Still, logically, these bombs can keep escalating and escalating...

DJ: Like my Masters at the Alchemists school might be able to do it. But I have more knowledge to gain. That's part of what being a Journeyman is, going out and learning more.

Zira: Journeyman? Is that like a special kind of adventurer??

DJ: No. It's the next level after apprentice.

Zira: Ohh, like where i learned stuff it was like, first stage second stage etc., etc.

Zira: OH!! ALSO! I HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF SOMETHING AND I WOULD LIKE YOUR INPUT!

Zira is beaming.

DJ is more alarmed now.

DJ: Okay?

Zira: Tonytoldmeyournameisactuallydummyjr

Zira: ...DJ? You good?

DJ: (full of false calm) Please repeat that.

Zira: ..Tony...told me ... that your name... is actually Dummy, Jr. Are you mad at me

DJ: No! I am mad, but not at you, Zira.

Zira: I like when people aren’t mad at me. Are you going to hurt Tony?

DJ: It isn't your fault Tony told you a lie.

Zira: I would like to take everything I’ve said back if so. I ain’t no snitch.

DJ: I am not going to hurt Tony.

Zira seems massively relieved.

Zira: It was a lie??

DJ: I am going to soak his tools in vinegar.

Zira giggles at that

Zira: Don’t you know he sleeps with his tools?

DJ: If I can get a hold of them. Because, yes, he holds onto them like a security blanket.

Zira: Oh my gosh.Is it really a good idea to make him mad? I think I trust him but making people mad usually leads to pain. And I don't want to say anything bad about someone who gave me chocolate and taught me the Small Talk. But I haven’t had the chance to ask if its normal to get hurt when you make someone mad.

DJ: maybe he shouldn't have done stuff to make me mad. Sometimes Tony forgets that just because I am small, I am still able to fight back with things besides explosives.

It's probably the first time Zira has heard DJ referring to himself as small.

Zira: I just would very much like you not to get hurt.

DJ: He wouldn't hurt me, Zira. Even if he was mad, he wouldn't hurt me. We've had arguments before.

Zira: So he’s soft? What about everyone else? Even if Ms. Payne didn’t punish me another instructor would.

DJ: Not hurting someone when you are mad is not soft! It's normal.

Zira: No? It’s not. You make someone stronger mad and they hurt you. That’s how it works.

DJ: And none of my Masters ever hurt me when I messed up either. Even after the accident in the library I didn't get hurt. And they were all stronger than me.

Zira: That doesn’t make sense.

DJ: Yes, it does. I was in a school. With kids. Kids make mistakes. You gotta teach them not to, but by telling them off. Or giving them detention. Not by hurting them.

Zira: Tony said something like that, too. That kids don’t deserve to be hurt. I thought he was just. I don't know...lying. Like he did with your name.

DJ: No. He wasn't lying about that. Tony doesn’t lie about really important things like that.

Zira: Oh.

DJ: Don’t worry. Tony is good about teaching that kind of stuff.

Zira is obviously taken aback, and looks kind of rattled.

Zira: He’s very nice. And good at small talk.

DJ: beams.

DJ: He is. And he knows lots about science.

Zira: Science!! It’s so interesting, and there are so many fields. We're both scientists but we have such wildly different skill sets and experiences. How cool is that!!

DJ awkwardly pats Zira's head like Tony does with him.

DJ: (excited) What fields do you specialize in? I know a lot of chemistry, but I love studying other fields, too.

Zira: Medicine!! And poisons, some chemistry...

DJ: Oh. A lot of chemistry goes into potion and poison making

Zira: Yes!! It’s very cool to see all the different reactions. I was taught about a potion that could literally boil a human’s blood while it was still inside their body. And of course general anatomy of humanoids, and how to not get hurt when stitching them up. People who can feel pain react badly to needles being poked in them.

DJ looks vaguely affronted at the boiling blood.

Zira: The pain is hard to handle, I guess. I’m actually pretty decent at holding people down because of that training!

DJ: I'm not too fond of it, but you get sort of used to it when you do chemistry. Because, while boiling blood is not an appropriate use of chemistry, some chemicals can cause burns if you spill them. Plus bombs equal fire so I've gotten a few burns.

Zira: Yeah, that potion made me uncomfortable, too.

DJ: It makes me more than uncomfortable. It's wrong. Science is supposed to help people.

Zira: Yeah. I didn’t want to say it and be weak but I cried. And got in trouble for freaking out.

DJ: I would have...wait you saw someone use the potion?!?!?

DJ is now shook.

Zira: They had obviously already used it, but didn’t want to waste anything on a class of trainees. So no, but they described the effects in...rather vivid detail. It was very upsetting.

DJ: Why were they using it on anyone. That's awful.

Zira: Well. They could, so they did. Like when someone made them mad. They could hurt them, so they did. It was - it was-- (she seems to be struggling to get words out)

DJ: And I could blow up this cart with my bombs, but I'm not going to. Doing something just because you can is not okay. 

DJ is obviously appalled and he keeps choking himself off as he starts to raise his voice. He isn't good at dealing with strong emotions. Or people. But he is trying as hard as he can to make sure Zira doesn't think he is mad at her again.

DJ: Not okay is what it was.

Zira: I’m not allowed to say that.

DJ: I think any of us here would say it was not okay. We'll say it for you.

Zira: You’re gonna get in trouble.

DJ: I blew up my school's library, Zira. It was not the first or last thing I have blown up. I am not a stranger to trouble.

Zira: I don’t want you to get hurt.

DJ pauses and looks around. He lowers his voice and leans closer.

DJ: I read a lot of things, Zira. I read most of the things in the former library. And I learned a lot of stuff. Some of it was not nice. Like the fact vinegar makes tools rust. Or lye soap can dissolve a lot of organic material over time. 

Zira: I know a lot of not nice things, too.

DJ: Sometimes it isn't fun to know that stuff. Like sometimes, as much as I love knowledge, I wish I could unlearn some of it. But, also, sometimes I feel a bit safer knowing it.

Zira: I’m not sure i can ever feel safe. But yeah… I have a lot I wish I didn’t know, but I can use it to keep myself safe. Better to know than not. But I’m gonna...go. Enjoy your book, DJ.

DJ: I think I messed up. D:

Zira is already gone. She didn’t seem distressed, more thoughtful or wistful.

DJ was saying it to himself anyway. He is bad with people and thinks he somehow hurt her feelings. He isn't very good at reading people.

[celticat21]

Alright, this was one of the most difficult as I technically did three different portraits! I'm really proud of the embellishments on Zira's bodice though. Some of the most detailed work I've done! I worked on it way too long last night then still wanted to revise it this morning. Hope you enjoy!

Edit: Zira is a duchess, or in line to be a duchess, and thusly is wearing the headwear that one would from her world. Masha did not want to be left out so Zira got a little one for her, too. She calls herself the “little duch”.

[shadowphoenixrider]

Zal’ria felt her raptor shift uneasily under her, gnashing her teeth fitfully. She felt, as did her rider, the awful pallor of death that hung on this godforsaken land. ‘Deathwind Pass’ was a very apt name.

“I know, Zira, we’ll be off soon.” Zal’ria soothed her mount, gently rubbing at the raptor’s neck muscles. Zira huffed with annoyance, but she stayed put for now.

Zal’ria’s eyes were on the tower looming out of the mists, dark and forboding. Karazhan. Old home of the Last Guardian Medivh, and his apprentice Khadgar. Zal’ria’s father.

He’d always talked of his times there fondly, described a tower of gleaming white stone in a valley of life. This Karazhan was anything but, and her very fur crawled at the death in the air around her.

It was chilling how much it reminded her of Lordaeron; in Khadgar’s time, warm and vibrant. In hers, dead and desolate. Was this what she was inheriting? A land slowly decaying from under her?

Zal’ria shook her head, tapping her heels against Zira’s sides. She had places to be. The Blasted Lands was calling, as was more of her father’s legacy. Zira gave a thankful growl, and bounded away.

[celticat21]

Masha giggles and hugs Hande. “Yay! I worked so hard on it for you! I wrote it in my language AND yours! I’m learning to write it now!”

Gifts incoming! Alessa would give Hande a hand made doll, Tabitha would make a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers, Freya brings Hande her favorite book (only not in Braille), Winona brings a very colorful splatter painting Made by them, Zira gives a hand made pillow with hand stitched embroidery andd a little card made by Masha, and last but not least Katarina brings two little statues of her and Saaga.

Hande looks at her friends, feeling very humbled and moved, “All of these for me? You didn’t need to... They are all so lovely, thank you!” She gives all of them a hug, saving Masha the last, “And you made this pretty card for me? I really love it, thank you so much, Masha!” She scoops the child into her arms and nuzzles Masha’s cheek.

Zira and Masha at the masquerade! Masha loves the selection of food, as that's her favorite part of exploring this strange new world. Masha's mask is a peacock and she made it herself, and Zira's is a moth.

I was sort of upset I worked so hard on the background but Zira and Masha cover up the window! Lol Although I realize I forgot to turn down the opacity on the background outline now that I look at it but it's late and I'll fix it later.

[celticat21]

Here are my other apprentices in snowy weather! All handling much better than Tabitha did. (Left to right: Winona, Zira, Katarina with Masha on her lap, and Freya. 

Winona was trying to throw a snowball passed Freya, at Asra. It did not work. Also their aesthetic is 100% early 2000s Barbie movies. I don’t usually draw Freya in red or warm colored clothes, but I think it looks pretty nice! 

Another thing of note is Zira and Masha are pretty used to a cold climate, as their dimension is pretty cold. Masha is just wearing gloves and a scarf for the aesthetic.

Edit: Added the close ups of Freya “this-is-fine” and Winona “this-is-not-fine”. And I almost forgot to mention that once again my baby sister did the background and snowman for this picture, mostly just playing around with how to do digital art.

[help-i-need-a-cool-username]

Havent watched this show in 3 years or the movies in 10 but lets do this anyways

Bunga is still Kion's sorta-uncle* and best friend. He's the kid who's always getting in trouble. He always calls Nala "Mrs. ____" but never ever calls Simba by anything other than a nickname or just "Simba". Simba does not appreciate it.

*in canon Simba saw Bunga as his kid's friend but Bunga (and i think Timon and/or Pumbaa but idr) saw Simba as his brother.

Fuli is the "loner" kid. Her parent(s) are never home. She's got a motorcycle/dirt bike

Beshte and Ono are just normal kids who befriended Kion. Kion pulled them into something (sport? club?) and now they're best friends with Kion

Janja & Co are bullies from the neighboring town. They keep getting kicked out of places (restaurants, stores, etc) back home so they keep coming to Kion's town

Jasiri is also from Janja's town. She's not in a gang or anything but she looks genuinely imitating (ex. black leather?) and she's the definition of tough. She's popular back home because she's super nice/helpful and she has one of the highest grades in the school. She was definitely Prom Queen (twice) and she's got a fairly big but cliquey friend group. Janja hates her. Kion met her when he mistook her for one of Janja's lackeys. They've become good friends despite not seeing each other in person much. She'll text him when she notices Janja's group is about to make their way over to Kion's town.

(Jasiri is one of my fav characters ever and i cant remember how she actually met Kion RIP)

Im not sure what Rafiki does (tutor? shop owner? pastor?) but Makini is still his apprentice/assistant

Simba was that one very mysterious missing persons case that became like scary lore/conspiracy theories for the kids because the adults never talk about it because it was genuinely upsetting. General consensus was that because he went missing the same time Mufasa was found dead that Simba was also dead his body just unfound. Anyways 15 years later Simba roles up, and through a series of quick events* its discovered Scar was actually behind the murder of Mufasa and arrested. Simba then married his childhood best friend a year or two later

*i just realized how horrible that must've been in canon for Sarabi. Her beloved son is missing for ages, he shows back up, before he even says hi to her he publicly admits he killed his dad/her beloved husband and its implied Scar knew all along. It was cleared up pretty fast but that still sucks

No idea what the equivalent of the kingship is. Like the highest police position? Councilman?

Does the guard do a lot of volunteering? Are they like the Scooby Doo Gang?

Kiara is Simba's little girl and therefore not allowed to grow up. When moody puberty hits its awful for the whole household. She butts heads with Simba a lot. One of the reasons Kion is always out is because he's avoiding that. She gets grounded a lot (cutting her hair, talking back, sneaking out). She's not popular but popular by association (her dad, Kion) and can occasionally have a snooty rich girl attitude. She's a good girl (Simba, Nala, and Zazu drilled etiquette and education-is-important into her) and only ever really acts out around Simba. She does a lot of girly stuff with Tiifu and Zuri. She has a fairly good relationship with Nala. When Kiara needs to get out from under her father's "rule" Nala will either take her to get their nails done and have a spa day or take her hunting. Kion is so glad he wasnt home when everything with Kovu happened. It sounded like a nightmare.

(Kiara and Kovu are like preacher's rebellious daughter and local bad boy run off together vibes)

Zira moved away after Scar's arrest. She was his right hand man and thats why Simba and Nala hate her. Their household is also a nightmare but from sibling vs sibling conflict. She pushed Kovu to pursue his relationship with Kiara because she was how it was killing Simba, but she does hate Kiara by association.

Simba, Nala, Zazu, Timon, Pumbaa, and Rafiki all call Kiara "princess" as a affectionate nickname. Kovu's family call Kiara "princess" in a derogatory way. Kovu switched from insulting to teasing whenever he calls Kiara "princess"

So Kovu and Kiara meet again, start flirting, start falling for each other. So many facetimes and texts with heart emojis and sneaking out. Kovu runs away from home, almost talks Kiara into running away with him. After Zira's arrest Simba and Nala reluctantly let Kovu and Vitani stay with them with very strict no fraternizing rules. When Kion comes home he finds they're living in his room and that Kovu got Kiara a promise ring (she wants to wait till after college before marriage).

Cant stop thinking about how Kion is the equivalent of a varsity captain who knows everyone in town and thinks his friend group is The Sh*t™️ who got spontaneously married to a girl he'd known for two months at 19
