Bio:
Last in the litter of four, Diku will never be meant for anything special. True, she is a princess, but that is a small title in Diku's eyes. She spends a lot of time with her older sister, Dwala, while the two eldest of the litter, Sarabi and Naanda, spend a lot of time with their father.
When they are all teens, their little brother Juu is born, and the land has a male heir. This means that Sarabi is no longer heir, and Heros has little use for his daughters now. He sends them to the Pridelands as a sort of a peace offering to the Empress, and it is there Diku meets Taka, the light of her life.
He is difficult and rude, but Diku manages to get past his wall and befriend him. When they come of age, he takes her as his mate.
When Mufasa, the King and Sarabi's mate, dies along with his son, Simba, Taka takes the throne with Diku at his side. She gives him a Cheka, who is abused by his father, and later, is forced to step down when she learns of Taka's affair with the former rogue, Zira.
When the younger generation are all teens, they devise a plan to flee the Pridelands. Diku, Dwala and Naanda tag along with the group, but Sarabi refuses, saying she has to stay behind to help the Pridelands survive. When the group leaves, they come to a valley. Tojo takes the lead and appoints Diku as a huntress, which is alright with her.
She lives to see her grandcubs grow up, then she passes on.
Relation to TLK: Sister of Sarabi, mate of Taka/Scar
