OOC:: I'll be Kovu
Name ~ Kovu
Age ~ Teenager / 1 year and 8 months
Gender ~ Male
Mate ~ Kiara
Crush ~ Kiara
Cub(s) ~ None
Personality ~ Kovu is a very misunderstood young male with a lot of mixed emotions. He is a very kind male but can be very protective and mean when he needs to be. Kovu is like the boyfriend every father would hate but their wives would love. The little Romeo indeed.
History ~ As a cub, Kovu lives a rough life in the barren Outlands. After he is abandoned by his older brother, Nuka (who was supposed to be watching, "babysitting" Kovu), he meets Kiara and teases her for being "daddy's little girl". As the two wander to a body of water they are attacked by crocodiles. The cubs evade the crocodiles and begin to play, but are interrupted by Zira and Simba. The two confront each other, before picking up their cubs and leaving. Later, Zira yells at Kovu for being friendly towards Kiara. When he says he thought they could be friends, Zira hatches a plan from the actions that took place between Kovu and Kiara. She plans to have Kovu infiltrate Simba's pride and kill Simba by using his friendship with Kiara. Zira trains and conditions Kovu until he is grown, then sends him out on his mission. Vitani and Nuka start a fire while Kiara is out on her first hunt so Kovu can "rescue" her. This enables him to join Simba's pride by using a law of the pride that requires all debts to be repaid.
He teases Kiara's inability to hunt, then agrees to teach her. She, in turn, helps him experience fun for the first time. That evening, Kovu expresses concern that he will become like Scar and tries to leave Kiara. Rafiki intervenes and takes them to a place called Upendi, which means "love" in Swahili. Having experienced life with Kiara, he is unable to attack Simba when the opportunity occurs. In the morning, a much changed Kovu resolves to confess his abandoned motives and defect to Kiara, but before he can do so, Simba takes him on a walk to tell him about Scar, and Zira and the Outlanders ambush them. Kovu attempts to aid Simba but is rendered unconscious by being kicked off of Simba by Vitani. Believing that Kovu aided his mother in the ambush, Simba refuses to hear his subsequent explanation and exiles him from the Pride Lands over Kiara's protests.
