OBLIGATORY HEADCANONS UNDER CUT

mufasa - naturally born a bit chubbier/bulkier then most other cubs, which his brother teases him over. he’s very much like his son, just much more polite and slightly more obedient. he’s a real flirt with the girls, which is to say that he crushes on them frequently but is deathly shy about interacting with them.

bianca - that’s her birth name, tho she later adopted the name “zira” as an expression of her violent resentment for the pridelands bc symbolism. she’s a member of simba’s generation, having been born shortly after him; this adds to her feelings of betrayal, but rly basically nobody liked her bc she was a weird little bully. she had really bad baby teeth.

takaskari - hey 6NA and TLG fans, ahmhmhmhm fixed that for you!!!!!! anyway, still effeminate, still melodramatic, and still petty and spiteful, probably from being super coddled and spoiled. his beauty mark is ever so slightly more raw/saturated then it is in his adult years.

sarabi - fearless, playful, but also precocious. her single mother was a refugee with lots of cubs who found asylum in the pridelands under the kind king ahadi’s rule, and this instilled heaps of loyalty in her. when she was older, she frequently babysat bianca, often spending their time together trying to instill stronger morals in the cub.
