#i have GOT to turn kenge’s trauma into a fic

[devilsrecreation]

I know I went over Kenge’s trauma already but there is ONE more thing I wanna add:

Okay so based on his VA’s description of him and judging by how hostile he was towards Janja when the hyena (rudely) asked him for help, he doesn’t like being bossed around. He was barely willing to work with the hyenas and does things his way. If there’s gonna be a leader, it’s gonna be him cuz in his words “maybe you’re in charge of them, but you’re NOT in charge of me!”

But why tho? Why does he get so agitated and defensive when someone tells him to do something? Why does he question their leadership instead of saying something like “Nah I’m good”? Sounds like he’s been pushed around too many times until he decided to do things his way.

I like to think this was because of his abusive older siblings (*cough*Jino*cough*) and some of his other bullies growing up. He once thought that in order to appease them, he’d do whatever they’d tell him to do with no questions asked. They used to boss him around in the most asshole way possible to the point that he was basically their little slave (which is what they called him). He was sorta the lizard version of Cinderella lol. When he finally stood up for himself, one of the promises he made was to be his own leader and never let anyone boss him around again

As much as I loved The Bite of Kenge, I really wish we got more reason as to why Kenge hates the word “little” other than the fact that he gets aggressive
