Bio: Panya was a rather unexpected cub. When Zira first joined the pride during Scar's reign, she didn't know she was pregnant until she began to become rounder. She thought it was Scar's cub, and she was quite happy, too, for she wanted a cub of her's to be Scar's heir. Once she had her cub, however, she was happy it was a boy cub, but was disappointed in his size. He was rather small for a cub, and he wasn't even Scar's son. She named him Panya and kept telling herself that Panya wasn't worthy enough to be Scar's heir, his son or not.

When Panya was growing up, he was full of energy, which often got onto Zira's nerves. She loved her son, even if she didn't show it. Zira noted that Panya resembled her in more ways than one. He even had her head stripe. Panya was almost always dependent on his mother, like most cubs are, and sometimes he annoyed her a little bit too much. He could sometimes just be that obnoxious.

In Panya's teen years, he became more independent and mature. He often stayed away from the den to stay with Sarabi, whom told him many things about the former king and prince, Mufasa and Simba. He was so intrigued by it. He sometimes wished he could meet them, but he knew he couldn't. When he wasn't with Sarabi, he was often in his empty den, the den his mother and himself used to share, until she moved into Scar's, due to carrying his cub. He often lie in that den, fearing that the hyenas, or Scar, would kill him.

One night, Panya left the Pridelands, getting tired of living in fear. He traveled alone, and whenever he got a chance to hunt, he did. He had hardly got to eat in the Pridelands. In fact, hardly anyone did. He wished he could help anyone else who was at Pride Rock, but he couldn't do anything. Scar and his hyenas would kill him. While he was walking one day, he somehow stumbled upon an unoccupied land. The land was lush with grass and was plentiful with herds. There was even a small overhang and den that Panya could reside in. He decided to make it his new home.

Panya still currently resides there, but he has hopes of finding another land to live in, to become a King to his own pride.

Relation to TLK: Son of Zira
