Personality:              Kyopa is a bit on the quiet side, he is very loyal and has his own inward code of honnor. But Kyopa was raised by two of the most vile lions in africa, and this is not hidden within him. Kyopa is sly, sneaky and be very underhanded when the time comes. He is known for his kind eyes despite his scar and dark circles, however he is also known for those very eyes because as cold as alpine winters when angered. He is a ruthless fighter ot keep his teritory and is very posessive of his Queen and her subordinate lionesses. Protective of his cubs. While one expects him to hate the pridelanders he does not and openly seeks alliance with them.

Likes:         Outlands Storms, He finds these beautiful and graceful, he loves hte power in them. Gazing out over his land, when he does htis he remembers his parents who even though thought cruel he loved dearly as well as his brother nuka. Chasing Crickets, however he hides this from everyone.

Dislikes:        Mites,flies, beetles: he hates them, he finds them pesky and hates hwen beetle crunch when stepped on. Kovu, He cannot understand why he doesn't trust him, after all they grew up together and Kyopa even spoke a good word into Zira about Kiara and the others at one point. Sunrise, Kyopa prefers dusk and night times, more than earlier morning and noon.

Affiliation To The Lion King:     Son of Zira & Scar. Brother of Nuka. raised with Kovu and Vitani. Raised along side Kovu as a warrior for Zira, but Kovu looked mor elike scar. Now rules over the Outlands.

History:       Kyopa was the second born to Scar and Zira, born just before Kovu myseriously arrived in what they had suposed as a litter Zira did not know about. Scar was defeated by Simba and Kyopa along with his mother, brother, and new found siblings, where pushed out of the pridelands. Zira raised Kyopa and Kovu wanting her sons to bring back scars legacy and take over hte pridelands killing Simba. In those days Kyopa would do anything for his mother, much like Nuka. Only Kyopa was not starved for attention He just wanted to bring her back the happyness she lost with Scar's death. However Zira took more to Kovu because she found he looked for like Scar, she had always hated Kyopa's wavy mane.  Zira however did scrach his eye in memory of his father.

Throught the war between the outsiders and the pridelanders, Kyopa worked in training the lionesses to be stronger, and helping her plain things, he worked much like a strategist  for Zira. When Kovu cmae to him saying he had fallen in love with Princess Kiara and her family and could no longer go on with the plains. Kyopa tried to put in a good word for the pridelanders but Zira would not hear it. Kovu was furious with Kyopa when he did not go over with him to the pridelanders, but Kyopa was loyal to his pride and his mother. Kyopa even could see that his brother Nuka's death was an mistake.

One night Kyopa over heard Zira talking to an elder lioness about how Kovu and Vitani were not really hers and that she should have seen this was going to happen. She then asked Kyopa to go and defeat Kovu, but he refused to go and that was hte morning Zira lost the battle and perished in the great river. Or so he htought....

Kyopa stayed int he outlands with a select few outsiders who were not ready for such a change as turning into Pridelanders. Kyopa hopes to thrive the outlands to be grander than what htey were under his mother reign.
