Personality:              Kesha is mischievous and rather rude as described by the elder lionesses and even his Grandmoher Nala. However the term more often used for Kesha is Spoiled, and that he is right to the core. Kesha knows this and knows how bratty he is, Kesha doesn't care how others see him as long as he has power, control, popularity and a bit of a fear factor over his others. Being a Prince steming from in a sense two royal bloodlines, he feels he is much better than all the other cubs and lions in the pridelands. He makes fun of those lioness who look to much like the outsiders as he believes most of hier parents were rouges and had no royal or "clean" blood in them. Kesha finds weaker willed lions to do his dirfty work or become his door mats. Kesha doesn't like to do  a thing for himself. Kiara is blinded by the love of her first born and refuses to see this and praises him constantly, she see's him as perfect after all he is a moma's boy.

"why are you so Spiteful! Arrogent! You...you narcissistic Spoiled little bully!" - Micah

And Indeed he is, Kesha is proud and enjoys seeing others pain and embarasement. He runs right over those who will let him and will try ro break those who do not. Some say it's the bad blood in the Royal family. Steming back to Scar, Zira, the bitter shrew Dalla mother of Sarafina and even the late terrible Masai the vicous brother of Mohatu. Others blame it completely on his Mother. Kesha is Boastful, Kiara just sees this as him being proud of his family but Kovu, having come from a humble start finds it repulsive. Kesha however could care less.

"Wicked and Vile? yes, but quick as a whip, you'd be careful my son...snakes lie lowest in close range" - Nala

Snake in the grass? yes very much so. Kesha is very smart, scary smart, he is was not so lazy a lion there is no telling what skemes he would come up with. Kesha is very clever, quick witted and thinks faster than cheetah can run. Making him the perfect Lier and deciever. Kesha keeps lines so blurred hardly anyone can see the truth or the lie in them. Is there anything good in him? No one knows.

Likes:         Being the boss and in charge, doing things to impress his mother or others around him. Kesha enjoys being flashy and the center of attention. he enoys causing rumors and fights with his two larger "flunkies". Getting Lionesses to do things for him by pretending to like them.

Dislikes:        When his sisters Micah and Vivi foil his plans with thier friends from the Pride on the other side of the moutains. The great grandsons of King Mamba. Lossing fights or being attacked when his flunkies are not around to protect him. when his mother gets mad at it. How his father belittles him so much (or really rather sees him for what he really is). not having controll over a crowds eye. getting shot down by lionesses.

History:       It was the Happiest day of the young King and Queens lives, the day Kesha was born. His birth Granted them as the knew leads of the Pridelands, King simba and Queen Nala took a step back with a New prince they knew thier time had ended and Kiara and Kovu's time was to beguin. However as Nala gazed upon the cub a chill went up her spine. Kesha's green eyes glinted with something bitter, something dark. Nala did not like it, not at all. Rafiki the old monkey as seeing his last royal birth as his days were coming to an end. He said Kesha was a bad seed, Kiara and Kovu raged at him for this, Furious. How could he say such a thing about thier precious son. But they should have listened. oh how they should have listened.

As most cubs do Kesha grew up, out of being a cute new born to an rambunchious cub. He had tuffs of mane at an early age, and lionesses would fawn and uss over him for being a "Looker" in these days Kiara and Kovu were proud. But Rafiki's warning still loomed in King Kovu's heart, for in Kesha's green eyes he saw something he never wanted to see again and he could see on the look of Nala face each time she looked upon he cub, she too was thinking the same thing. King Simba refused to see anything bad in Kesha because he favored his late sons Kopa and Numa (who in the fan relm is generally called Flufffy) as well as himself. Kesha being held in high favor wih Simba and Kiara begain to grow boastful in his early years, and quickly learned to use his royalty to get other cubs to like him and want to be his friends. but " I only befriend the best of lions! I'll have you know, because Royalty of pure and clean lines only deserve the best of everything!" he would say and reject those he did not deem worthy friends or clean of lines. Now Kovu saw trouble.

One year old, Kesha was a Adol and his mane was fuller than most. He was the pride and joy of his mother and the perfect big brother to two twin sisters Vivi and Micah. kesha would walk aorund like he owned the Pridelands already. Promising that " when my old man kicks hte bucket, I'll be king, and you could be my queen if you play your cards right!" to every young lioness he ran into and most fell for it, fawning over him doing things for him, bringing him food, skulls, feathers, flowers, anything that seemed interesting. they would complament him, run to greet him eveyr morning. Kovu was sickened by this, Simba found Kesha was just a ladies man, but Nala saw through it. Kiara thought her by was just good to the lionesses and thats why they treated him so. But this was not always the case. More often than not he would say hurtful things to them if they made him mad or made a mistake. He would pick on there insecurities and flaws, make them feel small and unworthy and then turn around and promise if they shape up he would give them the world and more. It worked every time. Kesha held grande dreams of what it would be like with him as king. He pictured an large Harem of Lionesses, powerful and beautiful Lionesses, the best huntresses in Africa. He saw himself with a stunning flawless perfect Queen, with the softest fluffiest fur, the lightest eyes, the silkiest tail tuffed she would be the best hunter of all and would listen to all he had to say. But his big dreams were halted by his father King Kovu. whom he loathed.

In this teen year, he met a Lion cub, Saba, son of Vitani and Sulu the grandson of Ni. He was a beauiful lion with a mane so long it was dragging on the ground. they were related in many ways. and Saba had clean blood. Kesha thought this was perfect, Kesha wanted to get close to Saba and Have him be his right hand man when he became King. However Kesha also met another lion, a thin, lanky, dusty lion his name was Ermac, great great grandson of False King Joe. King Joe's line as of dirty unclean lions, and thus Kesha disliked Ermac and put him down while trying to Impress Saba, "Us presious few with clean and royal blood must stick together if the Pridelands are to carry on!" Kesha said. Saba however was friends with Ermac, they grew up together and thus Kesha made an Instant Enemy with Saba, and an eternal Rival. as Kovu favored his adopted sisters Son Saba. and even offered him a place as king. This would Not do! no not at all it was going to Ruin Kesha's grand plans. Saba and Kovu had to go.

Kesha was now two years old, and Adult. Beatiful and bright like his granfather, and mother. He now had two Large Flunkies who protected him at all times, and he was the badest thing walking in the pridelands, He also hung around with a Liones the granddaughter of Malka relation to King Mamba in the pride ont he other side of the mountains. Her name was Ark and she wasn't even close to what he imaged his queen to be in looks, but she was hte only lioness who he could not make cry. of course she still fawned over him to no end, and was sure that she'd be his queen. she would stay by his side and make sure that his wishes came true, even to the point of getting ride of those who stood in his way. this ment Saba, Ermac, and Kovu had to go. Kesha wasn't worried, he knew his mother would never have Saba take over, and he knew Kovu would kick the bucket long before she did. Kesha breezed through life. Then it happend, Kiara tried to pair Kesha up with her pick of Lioness to be his queen. A small lioness by the name of Aslan, she had wandered into the Pridelands one night in her teens, and had gained high favore with Kiara since then, because she was smart and loved to take care of cubs, and spent a lot of time with Kiara. Bu all Kesha saw was a lioness with unclean rouge blood and he rejected her, Kiara was taken a back, but Kesha quickly cleared the air with his mother stating "But mother! My Queen must be as lovely and as strong hearted as you! would you have be settle for anything less!" And Kiara caved Alsan ran away in tears, little did Kesha know, she too had been friends with Saba, whom loved her like a sister, and this did not set well with him. the two got into a fight, Kesha not being storng lost, and lost face with some of the pride members. he would never forget his fall and would pay it back to Saba ten times fold.

Kesha took his revenge through Ark, He sent her to  falsely become Ermac's mate, as Aslan was heavily in love with Ermac. It broke the little lionesses heart. Saba was caught in the middle of his two friends as he could not see through Kesha's plans who were happy for Ark and Ermac, but his heart ached for Aslan. Kesha used Aslan's pain to break her down, she cried on the ground under him as he spoke when Saba showed up. but this time Kesha was ready. He called upon his tutor a Slick Hyena named Salza whom called his pack, the pack severly injured Saba. Kovu however came to the rescue, Kovu was horrified to see his son had bonds with the Hyena's He know knew of Rafiki's warning, Kesha was indeed more like scar than he could have ever imagined. maybe even worse. But it was to late to warn anyone, as Ark took this time to prove her love and loyalty to Kesha she showed up and crippled Kovu allowing Kesha and the Hyena's to end the kings life. Saba, Ermac and Alsan had long fled the scene and did not see the act. When Kesha and Ark returned they claimed he fell from a cliff while chasing Hyena's away from them, they claim that Salza was hurt because he tried to help the king. Kiara was heart broken but believed the story, and made Salza a welcome member of the pride. Saba was furious he knew that was not how it went down, even though he was not there. Nala knew this too, She would not sit and watch Kesha be crowned king so she and Saba began to work together , in her last days she would see another worthy king take hold of the pridelands, she would not let them fall to another scar.....

..........The Story Within The Story

Kesha through all his madness of a life was slowly changing. when his mother had decided to try again and betroth him to a young lioness named Malaika. This one was different, with one had a strong will, and she was just what Kesha had been looking for. However, He wasn't what she was looking for. Kesha's over bearing and snobbish personality did not set right with Malaika as she was a very mature and respectful Lioness to almost everyone...everyone But Kesha that is, even i it was just to put him back in his place. Kesha would try to make up for this by boasting about how wonderful his future queen was, and get others to lavish her in gifts, but he never had the personal touch. Although though no one knew it Kesha did highly Value Malaika. He just never knew the right ways to show it. When Malaika had finally had enough with his attitude she confronted him about it, bringing to light just how horrid his nature truly was, she told him what she thought, and stormed way, Kesha's true intent only ever shows in his eyes, and in that day, they showed every truth, only she would not see it, as Malaika never turned to look back at him. Kesha determined not to loose his queen as "No Lioness ever turns from Prince Kesha" shifted his personality at least while she was around. It's true he is who he is, and nothing will ever change that, but He was sure to act the opposite of how he really would anytime she was around if it would keep her happy.
