So im trying to work out their ages, but the problem is im building both the Tree of Life storyline and the Beginning story in my head simultaneously

Right now i got the Guard all getting together sometime in freshman year of high school, and them going to the Tree during the summer that followed their senior year

Kiara = 14, 9 months older than Kion, freshman

Kion = barely 14, freshman

Ono = 14, freshman

Bunga = 15, got held back a year in 2nd grade, freshman

Fuli = 15, late birthday, freshman

Beshte = 15, late birthday, freshman

Janja, Chungu, Cheezi = 16, sophomores

Jasiri = 15, sophomore

Madoa = 17, junior

Tiifu + Zuri = 14, freshmen

Makini = 13, middle schooler

Also:

Nuka = 18, late birthday, junior

Vitani = 15, sophomore

Kovu = 14, freshman

At time of 1st meeting:

Rani = 17, late birthday, graduate

Baliyo = 16, rising junior

Kion and Bunga have been best friends since Timon and Pumbaa brought Bunga home (about age 9)

Kiara, Tiifu, and Zuri have been best friends since 7th grade (age 12)

Janja and his clique formed right at the beginning of freshman year (age 14)

Either Kiara and Kovu were good friends from preschool to 1st grade (which is when Zira moved) or they have their brief first meeting in middle school at a football game or summer camp or local concert

When the LG meets Rani and Co. they are 19 (Bunga, Fuli, and Beshte), 18 (Ono), and 17 (Kion).

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
