🌪️ | badlands, you gotta live it everyday.

Ha! Me? Describe myself? You must be joking. Are you really so ignorant that you can’t recognize greatness when you see it?

Tch, fine, I suppose I’ll indulge your clear foolishness.

Us Outsiders were cast out from the Pride Lands after that brute Simba killed our one true king, Scar, in cold blood. As you can imagine, we were not too pleased, and what we got in return was a life of exile among us, adults and cubs – my own children – alike.

But, as it so happened... we needed a leader. Someone who could uphold our own pride, far away from the constrictive limits of theirs. Naturally, I was a perfect fit for the role. Life has never been easy, what with our lack of food and even less amounts of water – and yet, we are all we have. And we make the most of it.

That doesn’t mean I’m willing to let what was done to us stand. My son, Kovu, was personally chosen by Scar himself to follow in his pawprints... and when he grows up after the training he’ll be put through, then we’ll see if Simba still wants to be high and mighty when he’s faced with a real challenge.

Hmm? Are any of my cubs genetically related to Scar? My, what a forward question which is absolutely none of your business. As much as my other son, Nuka, attempts to be as much, my focus is set solely on Kovu. My daughter, Vitani, is loyal, but is far more tolerable in her efforts to appease me than Nuka.

It matters not, though; when we are strong... then we will fight back. We will finish what Scar started all those seasons ago, and avenge our king in his memory. That is our end goal, one I refuse to be swayed from for anything.

Just you wait... you haven’t seen anything yet~.
