Bio: Hodari is the son of King Kovu and Kiara. He is the older brother of Giza, half-brother/nephew to Kazo and Rahisha, cousin of Ubazazi, and grandson of Simba, Nala, Zira and Scar. As a cub, Hodari is a happy, care-free but bold and adventurous. He and his best friend Changa often go on explorations of the Pridelands when not under the watchful eye of his "Auntie" Rahisha. Although somewhat estranged from his father , Hodari still looks up to his father as a great King and wishes to gain his approval. Hodari also looks up to his older "Uncle" Kazo, although Hodari is completely unaware of Kazo's murderous plots against him...  (AU)
