Kiburi was born in the Pridelands. When he was young, he already had his own group of cubs and they liked annoying the others cubs, like a white cub named Alba who’s a mute. As teenagers, Kiburi and his friends started to get more violent. Mufasa told them to stop bullying the others, but they didn’t listen to him. Instead of, they left Pridelands to be “free”. They became a clan and Kiburi is, of course, the leader. Their clan is now known for its violence and the authority of its leader. Other lions has joined the clan, like a lioness named Anah, an ex-Pridelander. She has a crush on Kiburi but it is not mutual.

One day, he ventured alone on the Pridelands and met Alba, standing on the Priderock. He wanted to be with the white lion but he could not. Alba was too kind. Next day, he went to visit him again. Again, and again. He just thought they were becoming friends but it was more. He didn’t tell anyone, out of pride. He did not want people to know his bisexuality. He was in love with the one he bullied, a Pridelander AND a male. Alba and Kiburi became mates. They was happy together and Kiburi hasn’t longer the same when he was with Alba. But one day, when he went to see his lover, Anah followed him… (More might be added)
