Kida

The youngest of Kiara and Kovu’s cubs and is around three years younger than his brother and sister. He is a surprise to his family and isn’t expected to live past a couple of days due to his size and low weight, so he is essentially a miracle child who ends up defying the odds. He is smaller than most of the others in the pride even as he progresses into adulthood.

Name meaning: Encouragement

Family:

• Kovu (father)
• Kiara (mother)
• Ciko (older sister)

Personality: Loves being with his family, though is much more soft-spoken than his brother and sister and highly prefers to put himself in a position where he doesn’t have to talk. Very shy and would much rather watch and listen. Has lower self-esteem as a result but gradually gains more confidence over time.
