Personality: Kristo is a lot like his father and grandfather. He has a tendency to get into trouble a lot with his parents. He loves playing pranks on other lionesses and shows absolutely no interest in being king. He loves adventure and will do anything to get some excitement in his life. But, he's a calm, cool and collected lion when he's not hyper.

History: Kristo was born when Vitani and Kopa confessed their love for each other and became mates. He was an exact copy of his father and loved his life in the Pridelands. But, when he was 6 months old, Kopa decided that he wanted to start a pride of his own. So, along with Vitani and a few other lionesses who wanted to come along, Kopa left the Pridelands with his son. Kristo was sad to leave his homeland, but was looking forward to his new adventure in unknown lands. Soon, the tiny pride reached the forest where Simba grew up and established their home there. They recruited more lionesses and soon became a real pride. This happened when Kristo was in his teens. During this time, he befriended a mute lioness called Kagiso from the neighboring pride. SHe was prone to sickness, yet was very healthy. Kristo surprisingly could understand her ven though she never spoke. She conversed with him through signs and expressions. Soon, the two became the best of friends as they each understood the other's problems. But, Kagiso's brother Baakir didn't approve of their friendship, saying that Kristo would get Kagiso hurt. But, after Kagiso fell down a ditch and nearly broke her back, Baakir didn't let Kagiso visit kristo anymore. After a few years, when kristo became an adult, he left his father's pride and moved close to Kagiso's pride's territory. Just outside, he was attacked by two rogues that nearly killed him. He was nearly about to die when Rudo, Kagiso's father showed up and saved him. He took Kristo in and healed him. Kristo liked Rudo's pride. He was also reunited with Kagiso. But, she seemed different than the time she was younger. She was very untrusting of any males, including him. Baakir also was even more protective of his sister, often showing deep hostility whenever the young lion was around. Kristo didn't want this to happen, but the two males developed a rivalry and always growled when the other was in sight. Kristo wanted to get to Kagiso and find out what was wrong. One day, he finally cornered her and asked her my she was acting like she was. She told him that it was none of his buisness, but he replied that it was. He also stated that he wasn't going to leave till she told him what was wrong. She refused at first, but eventually slipped in and told him all about the lion named Tau and how he mated with her and left her. She also told him about her cub, Yejide. As she told him the story, she began to cry, and Kristo lent her a shoulder to cry on. Soon, their friendship was restored, bit by bit as the days passed. As their friendship grew, Kisto also realised that he was falling in love with Kagiso. As much as he refused, he had to accept it. His and Baakir's rivalry grew, even though Kristo understood why Baakir was protective. One day, he finally mustered up the courage to tell Kagiso how he felt. To his surprise and happiness, she returned his feelings yet didn't want to be mates as she feared what happened with Tau. Kristo promised never to hurt her and then they accepted each toher's love. Baakir was shocked when he heard this. At first, he didnt accept it and got in a deathly fight with Kristo. Luckily for them, Kagiso intervened and stopped the fight, telling Baakir that no matter what he did, she would always love Kristo. Finally, Baakir accepted their love, and Kristo became Yejide's adoptive father figure.
