Bio:

Born shortly after Simba's ascension to the throne, Ikuta has known nothing but being bottom ranked. Even when Zira's followers are banished, she is still way down at the bottom, despite her mother being Zira's lieutenant.

When she is a young adult, and Zira's followers abandon her to join Simba, she is able to become good friends with the Crown Princess, as she was friends with Kovu in their youth. She despises Vitani though, for a reason she cannot fathom. There's just... something about that lioness that makes Ikuta loath her.

Soon after Kiara leaves with Iba, and Kopa returns to take his place, a handsome young rogue named Ledimo appears in the Pridelands. Ikuta goes to investigate, and becomes good friends with him. But one day, as she goes to visit him, Ikuta sees Vitani layed beside Ledimo in the grass, nuzzling him affectionately. Something snaps inside Ikuta, turning her   angry inside. How dare Vitani ruin her fun?

When the Pride discovers that Ledimo has killed another lion, and is running from his own pride, Kopa banishes him. Ikuta tries to follow, but sees Vitani trailing after him. No!

She goes to attack Vitani, give her a piece of her mind, but she fights back, and almost kills Ikuta when she is thrown against a large rock. When she comes to, she follows Vitani's trail, always in the shadows, in the hopes that she will be able to end her miserable life.

Relation to TLK: Was once part of the Outsiders, hates Vitani and is competing with her for a lion's affection
