It was speculated in the past but now we have confirmation. So there's not just one, but two new lioness characters.

Hopefully the new characters are good.

Great Find Elton John. From the description of Zuri's personality I think we can rule her out as a crush for Kion. She seems very self involved to me. But then again I don't Kion's type.

Another thing I find very curious is how can a lioness be fashionable, as lions don't ware clothes. Perhaps she just takes great care about her personal appearance. One thing concerns me is that such a character has the potential to become very annoying. Hopefully she will have more depth of character than that. We'll just have to wait and see.

Ooh, interesting! I've got to admit though, I'm a little wary of these types of characters. Like SimbasGuard has stated, I hope she'll have more depth than that.

Haha, I was going to update the Lion Guard wiki, but it turns out I was beat to it by nearly 24 hours -
