Name: Zinger

Likes: Zira, being alone, darkness, killing helpless animals

Dislikes: Simba, Nala, Kopa, sunshine

Personality: Zinger is a mean old lion, with absolutely no sense of humor. Humor at least, that nice sweet lions would find funny. He squishes anybody's joy that isn't Kovu's, Zira's, Vitani, and his own. He is very grouchy, and violent. If Kovu or Vitani were to mess up, he'd smack them, leaving a hard on bloody fleshy scar.

Physical appearence: Zinger has a shaggy black mane that goes down to his upper stomach. His fur is grey, and his underbelly and jaw are light grey, almost white. He has green eyes, and an, "outlander," nose. He has a scar curved from his nose to under his mouth, from a fight with some other rogues.

History:  Zinger was stumbling around in the Pridelands, just waisting time, when he spotted another lioness doing the same. Eager to cause trouble, he decided to stalk her, with an evil grin on his face. Behind a bush, he watched the lioness move about, kicking dust everywhere and killing flowers. He thought, "those are my hobbies too!" and payed more attention. The lioness suddenly lifted her head in alarm, and smelled the air. Zinger prepared himself to battle her, but instead, she pounced over him, not even seeing him, and landed stealthily on her paws, claws unsheathed. Zinger admired her thin body, which was musclar and fit. She tensed, as a gazelle with a fawn bounded by, and he saw her shoulders relax. To fool around, he decided to kill the same fawn she was hunting.

   He wiggled his rump, and a low growl rumbled in his throat. He leaped the same time she did, but he was quicker. In one swift bite to the throat, the fawn was dead. He saw the fury in the lionesses eyes, and shock too. She boomed, "That was mine, lion! Back off, or I will kill you."

   Zinger ignored her, and layed down, digging into the meat. "I'd like to see you try." Zinger responded through bites. The lioness watched every bite he took, her mouth watering. "Name?"

   "I don't have to tell you that." She grumbled, and crept closer. Zinger let her, and eventually she was crouched beside him, chewing on the bloody meat.

   "Now do you want to tell me?" Zinger asked, her belly plump and full. The lioness licked the blood from her mouth edges, and sheathed her claws.

   "Zira. Who are you, are you in Mufasa's Pride?!" Her voice grew angry, and she almost spit at him. Her muscles tensed up, and every hair on her narrow back rose. Zinger immitated her playfully. Eventually, Zira settled, and laughed along with him. "Sorry," she murmered, embarrassed. "I just really hate Mufasa. Scar is the rightful king!"

   Zinger was baffled. "Um, Scar?" he asked. He felt silly and stupid as Zira looked at him with tease in her eyes. "Oh, Scar!" Zinger boomed, trying to act like he knew who Scar was. "I love that girl."

   "Scar's a male." Zira said, her voice unimpressed. Zinger rubbed the back of his neck with his paw.

   "I knew that." Zinger told her. Just then, the bushes rustled, and a strong male lion with a black mane and brown fur stalked out from the bushes, a pink fleshy scar down his left green eye.  Zinger saw a smile spread ear to ear. She bounded up to him playfully, and rubbed her head against his chest.  The male smiled, and licked her forehead.

   "I have great news, Scar!" Zira exclaimed. Scar looked down at her, expectantly. "I am pregnant!" Zira squealed. Scar stopped smiling, and looked her up and down.

   "And who may I ask is the father?!" Scar boomed. Zira frowned. 

  "You are!" she yowled back. "Its a male too."

   After this, Scar parted with Zira. Zira grew closer to Zinger, until the day of Scar's death, where Zira battled between praising her ex Scar, or starting a new life with Zinger. Nuka, was the cub Scar produced. I think it's obvious which life she chose, and Zinger avoids her as much as possible. However, he sees that she wasn't completely over him, and she lies to everyone, claiming Scar was the father of Kovu and Vitani. Kovu knows the truth, but Vitani thinks her father was Scar. Zinger is still in the outlands, until the day Zira dies. He witnesses the entire thing, from the other side of the gorge. As she dies, memories of their romance haunt him, and he remains an outlander of the pride, plotting against Simba and Kiara, furious that Kovu betrayed him. He doesn't care much for Vitani.
