History: Meno was born not too long after Kiara. Growing up Meno was always friendly with other cubs except one. Kiara. They were more like rivals instead of enemies. One day after one of their daily arguments between him and kiara he bumped into another cub. He was actually surprised that there was a cub in the pridelands that he never saw before. After a while they became friends. 

For a while the arguments between Kiara and Meno calmed down since he spent most of his time with Amy and other cubs. A few weeks later some lionesses saw a rogue lion near priderock. Meno, not knowing much about rogues, decided to find the lion. Since all the lions and lionesses were chatting about finding the rogue no one noticed as the small cub made his way down priderock. He made his way through the grass until he reached waterhole. Unlike any other days, it was completely empty. Not a single zebra or antelope near. 

 "I guess today is a quiet day..." He whispered to himself.

Then a lion emerged from the shades of the trees. He had bright golden fur ,which was a little bit lighter than Simba's, and a dark brown mane. At first he even thought that it was Simba but he was too tall and looked too strong to be anywhere near Simba. As he came closer he saw that he was covered with scars all over him. Meno tried to get back to priderock but it was too late. The rogue already spotted him. 

"So who do we have here? A little cub from pridelands" He said

"Um hi I just... I was going back to priderock and my parents are probably already looking for me so I think I should go now..." Meno whispered

"Oh why don't you stay here with us?" A light lioness answered

in a few seconds a whole pride of unknown lions and lionesses appeared

"Don't worry little hairball, we don't have time for you." The lion said

"Meno!" 

He turned around and saw his father running towards him with Simba and all the other lionesses. 

"Meno are you alright?" He asked his son

Meno nodded in reply

"Oh so this is the 'Great King Simba'..." The lion said

"Why did you come back... Enzi..." The king looked up at the other lion

"So you call me like that now... well, fine. We came to warn your pride..." He answered

"Warn about what?" 

"There's many rogues around lately... Before they only tried to steal our prey but now they have gone too far. A few days ago three cubs were stolen from our pride and two from the southern pride. The only thing that we know is that they carry the cubs away somewhere so better watch over your pride... little brother" 

After the pride left everyone returned to priderock.

One cold evening Meno decided to go out for a walk but if he knew what will happened he wouldn't even think about doing that. It wasn't too dark yet and so his parents decided to let him and play some more. As he made his way around priderock, jumping through the grass and pretending to be a hunter he was suddenly pinned to the ground. Even though it was getting dark he could still see the lioness that pinned him to the ground. 

"Aww a little pridelander cub this time... Our leader will be happy with you..." She said

"Get away from me!" He shouted

Without noticing he actually made a scar down her nose while he was trying to escape.

"Ah you little...!"

She attacked him but luckily the lionesses from the pride heard his screams and managed to find him in time. He couldn't get away unharmed. He got a few scratches from her but they would heal up soon but the worst was that he lost his tail.

As he grew up both of his parents passed away. The only one he had was now his sister Batini. Some time later he actually became Amy's mate.
