Personality: Diallo is a typical nice guy, who wouldn't hurt a fly and is always kind and friendly to others. He is a brave and selfless lion with a heart of gold, he's ready to defend anyone who just needs it and would even risk his life for those he cares about. He's a social guy and has good mannors which pretty much impresses girls, but he's always been rather regardless about the attention he receives from lionesses. Diallo isn't at all a friend of violence, and always attempts to talk his way out of trouble if gets into any, never revealing his teeth or claws unless it's absolutely necessary, he thinks fighting doesn't solve anything and just causes even more problems, but he does still know how to defend himself or his close ones if it's needed.

History: Diallo was born as a result of a fling between a rogue named Malka and a pridelander by the name of Kula, under king Scar's reign and when the lands were facing some desperate times. Kula had to give birth to him in secret, because otherwise Scar would've killed her cub. So, when Diallo was born, Malka took him away and brought him to his home pride where he could live a normal cubhood and he wouldn't have to fear for his son's life. Diallo was growing up fast, he was happy with his father and he taught him all the things he needed to know about life and surviving on his own. However, Malka's mate, Baka, was not so fond of Diallo since he was Malka's son, with some other lioness. She didn't hate him, but made it clear to him she wasn't his mother and often acted very distant towards him. Diallo didn't quite understand why she was being like that, but Malka explained that he'd understand when he's older. Eventually Baka and Malka had two cubs together, twins which were named Salehe and Hiari, and Diallo loved his two half siblings with all his heart, he knew they weren't his real brother and sister but he didn't care, they were still his family. Finally Diallo grew into a handsome and strong adult lion, and Malka couldn't have been prouder of his son. One day, when he was patrolling the pride's borders he came across a lioness. But not just any lioness, she was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on. She introduced herself as Bahati, and Diallo just fell head over heels for her right away, but snapped out of it and asked what she was doing in their territory. She came to visit the pride, but couldn't stay much longer and said she had to continue to her home, much to Diallo's dissapointment. That very same night, he couldn't get her out of his mind, so hee sneaked out of the den, in the dead of night, and set out to search for the home of the lioness of his dreams. 

Relation to TLK: Malka and Kula's son.
