(Before anyone says anything, no, I have NOT stolen the name from another character. If you've seen my gallery, you'll know I've had my Chidi since early May. It's probably a coincidence, since I got the name from a naming site. So please don't start anything.)

History: Chidi is the result of a fling between Akobi and Zahira. Zahira knew it would be risky, having a child with her reputation, but she always had a soft spot for cubs, and even someone like her wouldn't be able to just dump a young cub. When Chidi was born, Akobi took no interest in his child, so he stayed with his mother. While everyone doubted Zahira, she was actually a good mother, and since soon after she killed Simba she realized Zira was wrong, tried to keep her son on the good side, instead of becoming like her. It worked, and Chidi grew to love his mother very much. The only thing he hated was what she had done, and how it affected him: he couldn't make friends easily, and if the mothers of the cubs he was trying to play with found out he was Zahira's son, they would usher their children away, and call Chidi names. This made Chidi upset, and he would often try to go to his father for advice, but Akobi was busy trying to pretend his son didn't exist. Chidi decided to try be optimistic, and see the good in things. He was doing well with seeing life this way, until one day Zahira said he'd have to go stay with his father. Chidi didn't know why, until a month later... his mother was dead. He was angry with himself: he had always said he would try to protect his mother. Akobi, as usual, didn't seem to care. This made Chidi even more mad. After a few more months went by, Chidi decided he was old enough to live on his own. He ran away from the Pride Lands, and continued running until he reached Moonfall territory. He found out Ahali was now the ruler of the Moonfall Pride, and as soon as Ahali saw him she tried to get him to leave. He explained what he was doing there, and for once Ahali took pity on him. She let him join the Pride, but on the condition he would obey her and he would get the last share of meals. He agreed: at least he'd be with people he knew. Now, Chidi continues to try and survive in the Moonfall Pride, and hopes he can become a good member, even if nobody seems to like him very much.

Relation to TLK: He is the son of Zahira, who is Vitani's daughter.
