Parents: Kovu and Kiara

Pride of Origin: Pridelanders

Personality: Kwende is a playful and lighthearted lion, it's rare to ever see him without a smile on his face. He tends not to take things seriously and instead plays the clown which has led to a lot of worrying from many of the adults. However, he is kindhearted and willing to befriend nearly anyone he meets which can make him very charming.

History: Kiara's pregnancy came a very inoppertune time for the Pridelanders. On the cusp of war with the Jabali Pride, the pregnancy seemed to give the Pridelanders some hope that maybe the future may not be as bleak as it seemed, Kiara's twin cubs were born, possibly as a sign for the future, on the day that the Jabali Pride agreed to stand down and stop fighting. 

Kwende was the elder twin and much more carefree and playful compared to his more serious sibling. It is Kwende who is thought to be heir to the Pridelands throne as he is the eldest of all the cubs born to the royal siblings, Tanabi and Kiara. However, wether he will really become the next king is yet to be seen.
