Sarabi and her deleted bunch of sisters. Left to right: Diku, Naanda, Dwala, Sarabi. I made Diku Simba's Aunt in the comic "An Unusual Choir". And I made Naanda is Tojo's mother, giving Simba another cousin. :3
Diku: She is the oldest sister, and the motherly-est of the bunch. She is the gentlest and kindest, but at the same time has a rather short temper. She is stern and careful, and watches out for all of her siblings. Diku is always chasing after her younger sisters when they find mischief, and she sometimes gets fed up with them for good reason. But she is the lioness to forgive and forget. She is the mother of Kilio and Machozi, Simba's cousins, and the third to have children.
Sarabi: The second oldest. She was the first to have cubs, Simba of course. She is the hardest worker of them, the one who valued determination and hope. She rarely ever gave up, and mentally is the strongest. She is tough and smart, and a bright lioness. She seemed to be the peacekeeper, between Diku and the two younger ones. She was less likely to play as a cub, more interested other things.
Naanda: The third oldest and rowdiest of the siblings. She is energetic and playful, a bouncy, happy soul. She loves to laugh and tries to cheer up anyone sad or angry. She rarely gets angry herself, and is very understanding. She is the ringleader of her sisters, the one to start up something and probably end in trouble. She argues the most with Diku, but again, she rarely gets truly angered. She is the mother of Tojo, but although she looks like her son she is nothing like him personality-wise.
Dwala: The youngest sister. She is the quietest, surprisingly, but would readily follow her siblings into anything. She is very loyal and devoted, and somewhat naive. She is very helpful and kind, like Sarabi, and loves her sisters dearly. She can be a bit pessimistic as well, she often worries over little things. She hasn't found love either, no mate or cubs.
