For the start of the new year, I decided to go with a picture of my favorite character from the lion king movies, ( my favorite as a kid and sometimes even still now ) Vitani.

I used to think that after the merging of the two prides in the second movie, she had to do a bit of soul searching to find herself outside of the past she had in The Outlands, that had affected her future in The Pridelands much like how Simba had to remember and face his past in order to finally be set free.

Even though Vitani was raised so completely opposite to him in the way they had and probably will have to search and find who they are as individuals.

For Simba in the first movie, he had to face himself and his past, remember the reason he had to leave his home, what he thought were his mistakes and faults, remember who he was and where he comes from, and that he can’t always run away from his problems.

For Vitani, I think that she would have to face the unraveling of her cub hood and the trauma that her mother put her through, learn how to trust others, especially leadership, ( because I refuse to believe that as the second in command Vitani didn’t have a backup plan for her pride in case Zira’s mania drove them somewhere they could not follow ) how to be diplomatic, and that she is not her mother or scar.

I definitely picture Vitani also not feeling as though she quite fits in, even with the respect that being in the guard brings.

She has a ton of self discovery to go through, Simba would definitely be there to talk to her and give support (Nala as well)

And Rafiki would push her outside of herself and her comfort zone to grow. Most likely through hitting her with his walking stick.
