Picture(optional):SimbaAppearance:Simba is the size of an average lion, meaning he stands at about 6 hands high and weighs in at 645 lbs. His coat is a golden color with lighter gold colors that would be described as a sandy brown that tips his toes and is found on his under belly. There's also sandy brown colorings underneath his eyes that is also accompanied by dark brown that is above his eyes. Simba's also got a dark patch of fur on his nose that fades back into being a golden color. His mane and tuft at the end of his tail are both auburn in color.
Personality:Being the king of the Pride Lands and father of Kiara, Simba must take an active role in being both a good parent and a good leader. He can come across as strict at times, but that's only because he cares a lot for his daughter and the well being of his pride. This isn't to say that Simbe doesn' t have a silly side as well, oh no... living with Timon and Pumbaa for most of his adolescent years, Simba has picked up the phrase 'Hakuna Matata'... a phrase that means 'no worries'. He's learned to be real fun and easy going, but only when the times permit him to be able to act that way.
A lot of the time, Simba is actually worried that he's actually not good enough for the roles that he's got... being both a father and a king. There are times that he feels really insecure about his whole situation... like, can he actually pull off being a good king to the other lions that live in his pride, or if he's as good a father to Kiara as his father was to him. There are many of these thoughts that go through his mind... and most of the time, they get in his way when dealing with other situations.
Original World: Pride Lands
Current Residing World: Pride Lands
History/Background:Simba is the newborn son of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. After being anointed he is held up by the wise mandrill Rafiki atop Pride Rock for all the animals in the Pride Lands to see.
Simba grows up into a lively and rambunctious, if occasionally arrogant, young cub who believes that being a king is all about doing what he wants all day and going wherever he pleases. Taking advantage of the cub's naive nature, Simba's scheming uncle Scar tells him about the elephant graveyard. Although Scar tells Simba not to go there, he knows that the young cub will do so out of curiosity. Not only does Simba go, but he also brings along his best friend Nala. Simba and Nala then plot to get rid of Zazu which was accomplished throughout their singing "I Just Can't wait to be King." When they reach the graveyard they are chased by the three spotted hyenas Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, who are actually Scar's minions. Mufasa comes to the rescue of the two cubs after being informed of their plight by Zazu.
Mufasa is upset with Simba, but resolves to not scold his son, and instead teaches him about the great kings of the past up in the stars, who guide and watch over the young prince.
Later, Scar tricks Simba into waiting in a gorge, saying that Simba's father has a "marvelous surprise" waiting. There, Scar commands Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed to start a wildebeest stampede. Mufasa saves Simba from the stampede, but as Mufasa tries to save himself he is thrown back into the stampede by Scar. Simba is tricked by Scar into thinking that he was responsible for his own father's death, and that he should run away. Emotionally shattered, Simba does so, but Scar sends his hyenas after Simba in an attempt to kill him. Simba escapes into a patch of thorns and wanders off into the desert. The hyenas do not follow him, deciding that he's as good as dead out in the desert.
Simba collapses from heat exhaustion while in the desert. Vultures circle and gather around Simba, but they are scared off by Timon and Pumbaa (a meerkat and warthog respectively). They rescue Simba and take him to their jungle home. Intrigued by the idea of a major predator protecting them, they introduce the cub to a diet of insects, which Simba finds to be agreeable fare.
Simba grows into an adult lion while living in the jungle. He lives the Hakuna Matata ("No worries, no problems!") lifestyle for about 3-5 years, but his profound self-recrimination is never far from the surface. The turning point begins when his childhood friend Nala appears, now a fierce young lioness. The childhood friends reconnect and quickly fall in love. Nala tells Simba about the devastation Scar's tyranny has wrought upon the Pride Lands, and later tries to convince him to return to the Pride Lands as he is the rightful king. Simba, still deeply guilt ridden by his father's death, refuses both to help her or explain his reasons. He runs off into the grasslands to end their fight, leaving Nala upset and confused over why he refuses to go back.
While Simba is by himself, Rafiki appears and tells Simba to follow him, as he knows where the apparently alive Mufasa is. Simba follows Rafiki across the grasslands and through a patch of thorny vines. Once they reach a pool of water, Rafiki tells Simba to look at his reflection, but instead of Simba seeing his own face, he sees his father's. Mufasa's ghost then appears in a swirling storm cloud and tells his son that he must go home and take his rightful place as king in the circle of life. Simba realizes what he must do and runs back across the desert to his home. Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa catch up to him on a high rock overseeing the Pride Lands.
Once back in the Pride Lands, Timon and Pumbaa distract the other hyenas to allow Simba to sneak up on his uncle Scar. Simba confronts Scar, who convinces Simba to falsely admit that he was responsible for Mufasa's death, and tries to kill Simba with the aid of his hyenas. However, as Simba clings to the edge of Pride Rock's promontory, Scar, believing that he has won, whispers to him the truth about his father's death. An enraged Simba leaps up and pins Scar to the ground, forcing Scar to reveal the truth to the nearby lionesses. A fight ensues as a fiery inferno, caused by lightning striking a dead tree, rages in the background. Nala rallies the other lionesses, including her mother Sarafina and the erstwhile Queen Sarabi, and the lionesses attack the hyenas. Simba wins as Scar, after being thrown over a cliff by Simba, is killed by the hyenas he betrayed earlier in the confrontation by saying that the hyenas where the real enemy in an attempt to save himself. Simba then takes his rightful place atop Pride Rock and roars out across his kingdom.
Some time later, when the Pride Lands are restored to their former glory, the animals gather at Pride Rock once more as Rafiki lifts Simba and Nala's newborn cub, high into the air, thus continuing the circle of life.
Simba has fathered a daughter named Kiara. One day Simba lets his daughter out to play with Timon and Pumbaa to watch her. Unknown to Simba, Timon and Pumbaa begin to argue about bugs and Kiara slips away from them unnoticed.
Kiara ends up crossing over into the Outlands where she meets Kovu, an Outlander cub whose pride was exiled by Simba because of their loyalty to Scar. The two play tag until Simba leaps in to confront Zira, Kovu’s mother, who was watching the two cubs play. After the confrontation, Simba talks with Kiara and explains to her that they "are one."
When Kiara is grown she heads out into the Pride Lands alone for her first hunt. Simba is worried for her safety and sends Timon and Pumbaa out to watch her again, against Nala's advice. After Kiara discovers Timon and Pumbaa spying on her, she runs away only to be trapped in a fire that the Outlanders have set. Vitani and Nuka, brother and sister of Kovu, make some fires. Kiara tries to run out, but chokes and loses senses. Kovu rescues her, and Simba at first tries to send him away, but Nala convinces him to accept Kovu into the pride.
Simba later has a nightmare of him trying to save his father Mufasa from death, but is prevented from doing so by Scar who morphs into Kovu. Unknown to Simba, Zira has secretly trained Kovu to infiltrate Simba's pride and kill Simba.
Simba gradually begins to trust Kovu, and Kiara and Kovu begin to fall in love. Soon Kovu begins to question his loyalty to the Outlanders.
After a few days Simba takes Kovu out for a walk and tells him the real story about Scar. Zira and the other Outlanders ambush Kovu and Simba while they are walking, reigniting Simba's distrust in Kovu. Kovu tries to convince Simba that he had nothing to do with the attack, and even tries to protect Simba, but is knocked down by the Outlanders. Simba is injured but leaps up a log dam to safety, causing a few logs to fall and crush Nuka, Zira's son and Kovu's brother. Kovu is blamed for the death and he flees to the Pride Lands in shame.
Simba, realizing Kovu had dark motives when he saved Kiara, exiles the lion, refusing to accept his apologies. Kiara is distraught at this, and after informing her father that he will never be Mufasa, runs away to find Kovu. The two reunite in the desert later that night. As Simba enters the cave to find his daughter gone, Zazu arrives and announces that the Outlanders have initiated a war. Simba heads out to fight with his lionesses and Timon and Pumbaa.
After a lengthy battle, Simba and Zira confront each other directly. Kiara and Kovu leap into the middle of this confrontation and end the war, convincing both sides that they "are one." The Outlanders, after learning of their leader's true naturem, abandon Zira entirely and join Simba's pride. Zira, enraged, tries to leap at Simba only to be knocked aside by Kiara. The two lionesses tumble into the gorge, which is now full of raging water from the damaged log dam. Zira, despite Kiara's offers of aid, slips and falls to her death in the swollen river below.
After Simba and Kiara climb back up to safety, Simba realizes his mistake and accepts Kovu and the other Outlanders into his pride. The two united prides head back to Pride Rock where Kiara and Kovu are married. In celebration, Kovu, Kiara, Simba and Nala walk up to the promontory of Pride Rock and roar out across the kingdom.
