A Leader With No Roar Needed

-I changed some stuff after seeing season three of The Lion Guard and gave Penda a love interest~! 

Once Kion and the Guard finally made it to the tree of life, they stayed for a while as Ono and Kion began their healing. During this time Kion began to bond with princess Rani and while Kion thinks highly of her, his affections do not go past friendship though Rani's do. Once Rani becomes the queen of The Tree Of Life after her grandmother passed on she confesses to Kion and asks if he'll be her King. While flattered, Kion tells Rani he loves someone else and Rani accepts this even though she is sad that Kion does not return her feelings. Once Kion finishes his healing he and the Guard thank Rani and the night Pride for helping them and as the guard is preparing to leave Janja and Jasiri show up with Azaad telling them about Zira and her pride. The Guard then set out to try and reach The Pride Lands in time. Once the Guard reach the Pride Lands after their (After being stopped by Kiara and Kovu as he and his friends fought Vitani and her guard thinking they were still a threat) Kion who has given animals before a chance to turn over a new leaf can tell that Kovu isn't who he had grown up to be anymore and is honored to have him as a brother-in-law. Kion and Vitani have a talk about their lion guards and how instead of just having one that maybe their teams could work at different times to insure safety for The Pride Lands. Vitani and her guard end up patrolling and protecting the Pride Lands at night, while Kion and his team work during the day. While still in the Pride Lands, Azaad tells Fuli that he loves her and Fuli is shocked for a moment, before gently letting the male cheetah down. Telling him she loves another. Azaad is a bit upset as he thought for sure Fuli felt the same, but still says he'll always have her as a friend. Afterwards he leaves The Pride Lands heartbroken. It's not until another 'unexpected fall' that Azaad finds himself back at The Tree Of Life healing and while there he and Rani get to know each other more and end up falling in love and get married with Azaad becoming the king of The Tree Of Life. One night after seeing their friends get married Kion and Fuli are out late walking through the Pride Lands together after their friends had all gone on home and during a moment where the two sit to watch the stars the both end up confessing their feelings for one another they had kept in for so many years. Both Kion and Fuli are very happy to learn the other shares the same feelings and the two end up together. Later they get married and have a daughter. Name: Penda Gender: Female Parents: Kion and Fuli. Love interest: Nirmala Penda is a strong willed lion/ king cheetah cub who became the leader of the Lion Guard after her cousin was killed during a battle with some rouge lions near the border of the Pride Lands. Her cousin, Zarah was a sweet, kind and caring lion cub who used the roar when only necessary, unlike her Uncle Kion who has always had to make sure to control his anger, who that he wouldn’t turn into Scar, Zarah was a different story. While she did get angry at times, she somehow controlled it very well. The day she died, she was on patrol with her guard when some rouge lions attacked them. As the guard was fighting them off and Zarah was preparing to use the roar, She saw one of the lions had her friend and love interest pinned down, ready to kill. At this Zarah froze and panicked not knowing what to do. If she roared her friend would be hurt… At this distraction, another one of the rouges jumped her from behind and murdered her. Her love interest/friend named Kwaheri along with the others watched in horror as Zarah’s life ended before their eyes. The rouge that had Kwaheri pinned under her paws then went to kill him, however roars echoed from a short distance. Looking up, the rouges saw Kovu, Kiara, Kion, Simba and Nala all heading their way. The rouge lionesses fled, leaving the remaining guard members un-harmed. After the rouge attack, Kion had his guard watching the border everyday, as Vitani's guard did the same at night while Kovu and Kiara grieved their second born child. While their older cub Ahadi couldn’t believe she had lost her younger sister. The young guard grieved along with them. Penda was very close to her cousin and felt a great loss in her life from Zarah’s death. The young lion guard was given a few months to have a break and heal. As the time passed they began to feel better. Playing was fun again, the idea of going back to work to protect the circle of life excited them once more, though they needed a leader. Bomo, the strongest. Kwaheri, the bravest. Uru, the keenest of sight, Boga the fastest all had known Penda through Zarah and found her to be a very nice cub. One day they approached her asking if she’d consider becoming their leader. Penda was very flattered and told them she’d love to, but first wanted to speak with her family before giving them a yes. When Penda’s family said she would be great for the role, she returned to the young guard and told them she’d be their leader. Apparently, the great lions of the past also knew Penda was worthy because once Penda said yes to the other guard members. The mark of the guard appeared on her shoulder and with it. However Penda is not given the gift of the roar. Penda wears the flower proudly from then on out! Physical description: Penda is a lion/ king cheetah cub. So she doesn’t look just like her mother or father. Her fur coat is the golden fur from her father Kion, while having the king cheetah markings like her mother Fuli. She has a lion tail with a red tail tuft, unlike her mother’s tail which is long and has curl ever so slightly. She has a fur tuft on her head of the red mane color that Kion has. Penda gets her eye color from Fuli: Which is green. The lion/King cheetah cub also has the marks on her legs like Kion has. Info: Due to Penda not having the roar, Kion and Fuli worry about their daughter a lot. Fearing that one day they’ll lose her like Kovu and Kiara lost Zarah. However, as Penda grows she shows to be a great fighter and trains under Kion, Fuli and their guard as well. Penda sometimes gets stressed out about how she looks. Being the first and for now only lion/king Cheetah hybrid in the Pride Lands she wonders how she appeals to other’s eyes. When she feels this stress, she’ll go to Fuli who knows all too well how it feels to look different in the Pride Lands. Fuli grew up being asked time and time again if she was even a Cheetah. The pride land animals had NEVER seen a king Cheetah before. Only regular ones. Since Fuli was not born in the Pride Lands and wondered in after getting separated from her parents. So Penda and Fuli will have a heart to heart when Penda needs it. Fuli reminds her daughter that she is beautiful. As a teen Penda ends up falling in love with Nirmala who was named after her mother. The two met when Rani and Azaad come to visit and Nirmala wanting to see more than just the Tree Of Life was given permission by her father Surak and Mother Nirmala to go with them and see The Pride Lands. Unlike her parents who have dark brown fur Nirmala has light grey fur with dark blue eyes. She takes after her mom in wearing a flower behind her ear. She wears a light blue flower behind her left ear at all times. When Nirmala ends up realizing her feelings for Penda she confesses to the Lion Guard leader during one of her visits. Penda is very happy and after the lioness knows Penda feels the same, she takes her to a flower patch not far from Pride Rock and picks a Green Flower and then puts it behind Penda's left ear. Then  Nirmala asks Penda if she will be her girlfriend and the answer is yes! Since then Penda always wears a Green flower and after the two grow into adults, the females are married at Pride Rock where Nirmala chooses to live with her new mate and family. She and Penda will travel to The Tree Of Life to see Nirmala's side of the family and will spend a few nights there. Penda’s Lion Guard: Uru, the keenest of sight is a female Drongo. Bomo, the strongest is a female hippo. Kwaheri the bravest, is a male lion cub from the pride. Boga the fastest is a regular male Cheetah cub. Penda: Leader of the Guard/ the fiercest member. Note: Didn’t give Penda the roar since the leader of the guard is always the King and Queen’s second born cub, I figured since Penda was not in line for being a member at first to just have her marked as the new leader, plus a lion guard that does not have the roar of the elders seems bad ass to me, now they’ll have to fight more instead of just having the leader blow the bad guys away with a really powerful roar.
