History:

A few months after Kopa's birth, Nala was in heat and again was pregnant. She and Simba decided that this cub will be the last as their oldest cub, Fluffy, was almost in her teen years. After some months Nala gave birth to two females, Kiara and Bayo. Bayo looked alot like her mother only having her father's eyes and tail color.

When the cubs growd Bayo wasn't so much for adventuring like Kiara and Kopa, and mostly stayed home or had walks with her oldest sister Fluffy. When Kopa was killed by Zira, Simba became overprotective over his daughters especially Kiara as she was always on the run. One day while Kiara secretly went to the Outlands and met Kovu, Bayo had followed her sister. Bayo was than pinned down by another cub. The two soon got along and Bayo learned the cub's name was Vitani and that she was Kovu's sister. When Simba took Kiara home after finding her with Kovu, Bayo told Vitani she had to go and promised they would see eachother again.

At Pride Rock, Bayo couldn't stop thinking about Vitani and had strange feelings she had never fell before. She went to her mother asking what those feelings where but kept her mouth about Vitani. Nala told her daughter that that feeling is love. Bayo couldn't believe it, she was in love with another female. What would her family think, her pride and most of all... what would Vitani think?

Maturing Bayo forgot about Vitani and those feelings and started looking for male's but never got along with them. When she and her sister made their first hunt, they lost eachother during the fire. Bayo than saw something running away, a very familiar lioness. She saw that that lioness was Vitani. When Kiara was saved by Kovu and Simba had to take him into the pride, Bayo had a feeling that Kovu saving Kiara and seeing Vitani runaway from the fire when it started, that something wrong was going to happen. Bayo was the first to see her sister having feelings for Kovu and told Kiara something bad is going to happen. The two got into a fight and Fluffy stood between them telling them to stop. When Simba was ambushed and Kovu banished, Bayo tought Kiara would apologize to her, but she was wrong 'cause Kiara went looking for Kovu.

The same night the Outlanders enterd the Pridelands declairing war for Pride Rock. Bayo foughted her best to keep them from taking over the Pridelands. After knocking a lioness to the ground, Bayo stood eye in eye with Vitani. Seconds later Kovu and Kiara stopped the war and the Outlanders turned to the Pridelanders' side. Resulting in Zira's death and in a ceremony of the two pride's being reunited. It became hard for Bayo to hide those feelings for Vitani as she now saw her everyday. She didn't knew if she would tell her.

One day Bayo went on a hunt but got stuck in an stampede caused by an hyena. Bayo climbed into a nearby tree and hung for her life. As she thought her life was over, the herd of wildbeest was suddenly driven away by a familiar lioness. It was Vitani who drove the wildbeest away saving Bayo from her death. Bayo was hurt on her leg and couldn't hunt for a while. Vitani took care of her and trough those days it was that love started to sparkle between the two lionesses and they decided to become mates. Bayo forgot all about her broken leg now she finally had her love.
