Kiara

Overview and Plothooks

Kiara. Princess of the Pridelands, and heir to the land now over-grown with thrones. I am so ready to do some plots with her! I'm hoping to strike a balance between her younger self in Simba's Pride with how they portrayed her in the Lion Guard. She still wishes for a freedom - but now with the war, it is a very far off dream. For now, she's content to work her best to help with the war. Even if she doesn't know exactly how she can do that yet...

- MEETING WITH A CURSED THORN YOUNG ONE
-FRIENDSHIPS ABOARD
- HUMAN MEETING? Humans saved her father and she's intrigued by them.
- IDK I'M DOWN TO ANYTHING

friendships

There are two ways to become Kiara's friend, and both appeal to the different sides of her. First off, she'd definitely appreciate someone just to be her friend first and foremost. Someone to run around and play with...

But on the other hand, with her change of perspective, she also wants friends who are more serious. Both about duties, the war, and else. It's a mix with her, but there's a lot of potential for friendships about!

It'd also be interesting to see how she'd react to humans too!

hateships

It's quite easy to get on Kiara's bad side, especially if they're on the side of the Cursed Thorns. She'll at the very least bear a grudge towards anyone who happens to be on their side, after the emotional hurt her family has gone through, and being thrust physically out of their home by the thorns now laying waste to the Pridelands.

Besides that, there are a number of ways to get on Kiara's bad side - and if someone does land on it, she'll definitely be stubborn about getting past that point of contention.

relationships

The young princess isn't that much into thinking about romance yet. Sure, she knows off the top of her mind that there is a definite possibility that she may be betrothed to someone - but with the war going on, and her being way too young for it, she hasn't had time to even think about a possible romantic partner in the long-distant future.

Maybe we could bounce some ideas around regarding Kiara and Tiifu's friendship? ^^ I kind of figured it was okay to say that they were friends here, since that agrees with Lion Guard canon; but I also kinda feel like she and Zuri were picked as friends for her by Kiara's parents, in the hopes that they would ground her a bit more and keep her from running off to the Outlands again, rather than having been chosen by Kiara herself.

If you're okay with the idea of that, I thought that could be interesting to play around with the dynamic that causes between them? Tiifu is VERY enamoured by Kiara's royal status, and kind of counts herself as one of Kiara's royal advisors, whether she wants it or not... I wonder if that behaviour might not make Kiara more uncomfortable than anything else?

If you have other thoughts for the dynamic between these two, though, I'd love to hear them too

kiara && tiifu

Ooh, I'd love to play around with these two's friendship! I definitely agree that they're friends here, but... yeah, I also 100% agree about the parents picking out friends things. That was definitely the feeling I was getting myself whenever I watched the group interact on screen.

It'd definitely be interesting to explore such a relationship: Kiara definitely appreciates the friendship aspect between her and Tiifu (+Zuri), appreciating having another cub to hang around with that isn't her two brothers! But Kiara definitely wouldn't appreciate how much Tiifu puts on her royal status, and how she would say she was an advisor. I can imagine a conflict in which Kiara confronts Tiifu over whether they're just friends because she's the eventual heir to the Pridelands throne if Kiara gets ticked off to a certain point.

For the most part, Kiara will put up with her friend's actions though - even if she doesn't entirely appreciate it!

I am completely on board with all of that!

I think, honestly, Tiifu would want to be friendship support to her as much as anything else, but she sort of... feels like she has to hold both herself AND Kiara to high standards because of Kiara's royal status, and that kind of gets in the way?

I'm all for that conflict coming to a head between them at some point, too; perhaps after it has happened, if they're able to reconcile okay, Kiara could teach Tiifu a few things about just being friends, without all of the other things Tiifu had attached to it?

On another note, I kinda feel like Tiifu's kind of a vulnerable cub, emotionally; we see it a bit in Underground Adventure, in her fear of the dark, so I'm playing on that angle a little. I've established that Tiifu has nightmares stemming from the trauma of seeing the Pride Lands overrun with thorns; if you'd be for it, I'd really love, at some point, for Kiara to come across Tiifu while she's suffering from one such nightmare, and to comfort her ^^

I'd think they'd definitely reconcile at one point if things came at a head - at least from Kiara's side, due to probably feeling terrible about lashing out like that at one of her best friends. It'd probably be a conversation they'd definitely have eventually!

And yesss. I'd definitely be up for that. Considering how Kiara comforted Tiiffu within the episode for her fear of the dark, for something like the thorns appearing - she'd definitely try to help her friend and be there as support if she caught her having a nightmare, and try to be there for her.

I'd agree, yeah; Tiifu's not one to hold a grudge against her friends. It's definitely a conversation that needs to happen, though; and I look forward to building up to it

That episode was what I was thinking of too, yeah! Would... you be, perhaps, up for a thread for the two of them, exploring around the idea of Tiifu's nightmares? I could start it, if you wanted? ^^
