Realation To TLK: Mufasa and Sarabi's daughter and the twin sister of Simba

History:  Shani was born after her twin brother Simba to King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. Her twin brother was the future heir to the throne after Mufasa has died. As cubs Shani and Simba would always play together soon they became inspireable. Shani had always gotten jealous of Simba when he went to be with Nala Sarafina's daughter. Nala also had a brother named Mheetu whom Shani had grown a special bond with but never mentioned it to her brother Simba because he might think she was weird or he might tell Nala and they would began to tease her so she kept her feelings to herself.

One day Scar took Simba to the gorge and Shani knew something was up because Scar hadn't returned home with her brother or father when he broke the news to her and her mother and the rest of the pride everyone was heartbroken even Nala. When Shani became a teen her life had even gotten worse ever since Mheetu was kicked out and Simba and Mufasa were 'killed' Scar had a chance to make Shani his Queen even though she refused, Scar then had her trapped with the hyenas and told her not to scream or else she would be killed like her father and brother.

After awhile Shani soon found out she was pregnant and didn't want the cub she then told her mother about Scar and Sarabi suggested that she had better run away from here. Shani didn't want to leave her mother but her mother assured her that she will be fine. After a month Shani soon went into a painful delivery,the cub didn't survive the birth and Shani was glad and upset at the same time. Shani then decided she would leave when she had all her strength back and that she was healthy again.

Shani soon ran away from Pride Rock and was soon met by her cubhood friend Mheetu when he had found her and attacked her. At first Shani didn't recognized the lion but when she pinned him to the ground his teal blue eyes told her that it was Mheetu and she soon found herself nuzzling Mheetu and crying tears of joy.  After awhile Shani then told him about Scar forcing her to mate with her and the horrible birth and that the cub didn't survive the birth. Mheetu promised Shani that he would never let Scar or anything else hurt her and Shani had trusted him ever since.

After months of spending time with Mheetu she then wondered if he had strong feelings for her but he never mentioned anything to her, Shani soon got the news that her brother Simba had returned to PrideRock and had overthrown Scar but Shani wasn't willing to return home she wanted to stay where she was with Mheetu and Mega's pride.  Shani then told Mheetu about her feelings about him and Mheetu was surprised that she had felt the same way about him as he did to her, they soon fell in love and together became mates.
