History: Adeola was born to a rebel of Scar's reign named Kiana. Scar wanted Kiana to mate with, and  attempted to rape her many times, he went after her so much because she was a challenge, unlike his past mates, Sarafina and Indigo. She mated with a rogue male out of spite and Adeola was born. Scar was furious and killed the rogue, and attempted to kill Kiana while she was pregnant. Kiana ran away to the north, to the Mountainlands. She gave birth to Adeola there, where she had a happy cubhood. Adeola grew up and fell in love with a member of their guard named Keahi. They produced a male cub with most of his mother's looks, named Kovu. meanwhile, Zira had found out about one of Scar's most hated rebels, Kiana. She sought after her to please him. She planned on killing Kiana and Adeola. She left to the north and soon found Kiana and Adeola.. and Kovu. Zira discovered instead of killing the lionesses, she would kill Kovu. Adeola and Kiana fought brutally to protect him, but Zira won, with the help of a few hyenas. Zira was about to kill Kovu when Adeola begged for him to live, saying she would give anything for him to live. Zira looked at the cub and realized he could grow up to be a great ruler. She made a deal with Adeola that he could live, only if he could be the king of the pride Adeola and Kiana hated so much. Adeola agreed and Kovu was taken away, and Adeola never saw him again...yet. Not long after Kovu was taken away, Adeola had another cub named  Manav. He was a lot like Kovu and Adeola clinged to him as long as she could.She told him many stories of Kovu and Manav wanted to be just like him.  When Manav grew older, he met Persephone, and the two started the Coastal Pride.

****this is just my theory of Kovu's parents. since I don't believe his is Scar or Zira's birth cub.
