He is social and it's easy for him to make friends, but he doesn't really trust strangers that easily. Adrian is a smart boy, and fooling him is not that easy, so if he feels like something isn't right, he usually attempts to find out the truth, no matter what. He is brave, and eager about proving himself to others, and if someone challenges him, he always accepts it, so he can test his limits.

History: Adrian was born on a beautiful and warm morning, to Radhi and Sheila as their only cub. His mother died only a week after his birth, so his father had to raise him and take care of him all by himself. Adrian loved walking around the pride with Radhi, and listening to his stories about great kings, and whenever Radhi was teaching him some new things, he was more than eager to learn. When Adrian had grown up a little, Radhi started teaching those more important things, like how to hunt, and defend yourself. One night, Adrian was watching the stars with his father, and Radhi now told him that he would become the next leader of the Waterside Pride, after him. The little cub was quite confused, and didn't really think he could do it, but Radhi told him it was allright to feel that way, since he was only a young cub, and that he would feel different once he'd got a little older. As a young cub he befriended a female cub named Shani, and since they were the same age, they became best friends, and inseparable. As they grew older, they got closer and closer together, but one day, Shani's mother told them they would leave the Waterside, and move to live in the Pride Lands. Adrian was sad to say goodbye to his best friend, but they both knew they would meet again one day. But after Shani and her mother and siblings left, Radhi told Adrian he would become mates with Taya, a lioness that he had once rescued from hyenas when they cubs, and she had always had a huge crush on him. Adrian was outraged of his father's decicion, and he since he had no feelings for Taya whatsoever, he decided he would not become her mate, because he had always loved only one lioness, and it was Shani. Radhi was angry, and told his son that if he would not take Taya as his mate, he would never be the next king of Waterside Pride. Adrian ran away from him, and went to find Taya, telling her he wasn't in love with her, that his heart belonged to someone else, then, he ran away from the pride, and set out to the Pride Lands in order to find his beloved Shani. He did find her, and the two were happily reunited. They spent the night walking and talking about things, and finally, Adrian asked Shani to return to Waterside with him, so they could a new life. She agreed, and the next morning they headed back home together. But when Adrian and Shani got back to the Waterside, he found everyone sad and mourning, and he wondered what was going on. Then, one of Radhi's advisors came to him, telling Radhi had passed away. Adrian was shocked, his father, his role model was gone, and he couldn't believe it. He was heartbroken, but knew he would now have to take Radhi's place, and become the new king. Shani became his queen, and together they started ruling the Waterside Pride, even though Adrian felt he could never be a king that Radhi was.

Relation to TLK: His father was Mufasa's friend.
