Vitani sure is an interesting character. I remember, as a 12-year old, I saw SP for the first time, and after seeing it, I couldn´t decide whether Vitani was evil or not. She sure remains loyal to her mothers insane ideals, puts those even above her own luck. But, as cubs, you see Vitani and Kovu have a good bond. For me it was also pretty hard to understand the bond between Vitani and her older brother Nuka. She seems annoyed by his appereance, but she tolerates him around her at the same time.
What do you guys think about Vitani? What was her role in the movie? I mean, it´s great to have as much lion characters as possible in the movie (that´s one of the things I loved most about SP, the introduction of 5 new lions and lionesses) but wat was her ´function´ in this movie? What did the makers of SP want her to depict?
Oh, and btw, I love her design, I used to think she was a boy when she was a cub, but I realized she was a lioness when I saw her appeareance as an adult
