Personality: Mansa is a very sweet and gentle boy. Of his siblings, Mansa is more self-conscious and conscious of others. He won't do something if he thinks someone is going to get hurt. His kind demeanor makes him easy pickings for his siblings, but he doesn't every stay mad at them. Mansa can't stay mad at anyone either and is often too nice for his own good.

He is the more observant of the three, taking things into consideration and thinking before he acts. He's very sensitive and it doesn't take much to hurt his feelings, but he forgives easily. He tends to be a pushover and his sister, Saka, loves to take advantage of him. Mansa is also a big people pleaser.

Mansa is patient and doesn't mind waiting for an answer. He's very devoted to his family as well. Though he's a careful cub, he knows how to have fun, but he's just careful doing it.

Likes: His family, playing, making others happy, helping others, learning how to be king, hearing stories, pestering Zazu, making friends, asking questions

Dislikes: Hurting others or seeing others in pain, being hurt, being pounced on, when his siblings want to fight, arguing

History: Kopa was never killed by Zira. Vitani overheard her bragging and decided to tell Nuka about what she'd planned. Nuka, with his loud mouth, enabled the other lionesses to hear and Zira's plan was foiled before she even had a chance to act it out. But that didn't stop Simba from sending ZZira and her followers into exile, she taking Vitani with her.

Vitani and Kopa had been best friends before the exile, and tried to keep it that way, sneaking out at night to play, making excuses to see one another. That friendship was soon discovered by both Simba and Zira and they prohibited either from seeing one another. But Nala saw how the seperation made her eldest upset and decided to try and make an agreement with Zira. Unfortunately, the conversation did not go as planned and the Pride's queen and lionesses managed to get away without fighting. 

One evening, Vitani had had tried to sneak out to see if her friend was where they usually met, but instead of Kopa, it had been Zira. Enraged, Zira attacked her "daughter", nearly killing her, and if it hadn't been for Nuka standing in his mother's way, Vitani would've been killed.

Zira left Vitani at the border, but Nuka stayed with her. He eventually had to venture into the Pridelands to get help for his sister and they were taken back to Pride Rock. Kopa felt guilty about what happened, but did what he could to help his friend get better. 

Meanwhile, Zira was plotting to attack Pride Rock, wanting to get Vitani back. The lionesses in her pride began to think she'd gone even more mad than before, but warily followed. The two prides met at the borderlines once more and Pride Rock reluctantly fought their sister lionesses to keep their land. But before anyone could do any real damage, the quarreling somehow stopped. The lionesses in both prides didn't want to fight. It was obvious to each other. 

Zira was once again defeated, but she had one more plan up her sleeve that no one knew about.

With Zira exiled even farther into the Outlands, the outsider lionesses and Nuka joined the pride. Not long after, Kopa was crowned king and he chose Vitani as his queen. They had four cubs together and chose the youngest, Mansa, to be their successor. 

Mansa spent a lot of his time with his parents, but he liked spending time with cubs his own age. He love dmeeting new friends, and was able to do so when he met a cub named Khalfani that he'd never seen before..
