Personality/Bio: Rudo is the mate to Simba and Nala's youngest child, 'Maha'. In the beginning, Rudo was found abandoned when he was a much smaller cub. A female jackal named, 'Arjana' happened to be hunting nearby for her little family and could'nt help but to hear a loud 'mew!'. She lost focus from hunting and quickly searched for the loud cry. There in between the tall grasses she found little Rudo. She could not help but to take him under her wing, knowing how he can easily die without being cared for at his super young age. So, she rushed back to her den and welcomed him into her family with warm arms. At first, her two pups 'Paki' and 'Asha' were unsure of accepting Rudo in the family since he looks very different from them and also a predator, but a small one that is. But Arjana promised to teach him well to be respectful to all creatures. She named him Rudo because, she promised him 'love' as long as she keeps him.

As Rudo grows more fast everyday, he has became a big help for the jackal family. He helps hunt larger food and protects them from any threats. He will always be loyal to Arjana no matter what. She was the one who gave him another chance at life and he thanks her for that. Rudo loved her as if she was his real mother. One day while out playing with his jackal 'brother' Paki, Rudo meets a beautiful lioness named Maha. She was chasing Paki, thinking he was a threat to her and her friends and of course Rudo had come quick to save him. Maha was confused as to why Rudo was being so friendly to the little Jackal. Lions are known to dislike Jackals as they appear to be annoying pests.

Rudo explained to Maha of whom he is and why he is close to Paki. The lioness was still ever-so confused and her friends laughed at the poor lion taking him as a joke. But things quickly took a turn once Paki found his sister Asha in trouble. She was stuck in a deep ditch and needed help getting out. Maha knew a female giraffe named, "Almasi" who could help and she did with pure kindness. Asha was able to climb on the giraffe extra long neck and was safely out of the ditch. Rudo thanked both Maha and Almasi for their help after being so worried. He hoped to see Maha again, but Maha was just so unsure since she is a royal and have duties to attend. Rudo was disappointed but understood. 

A couple of weeks later, he runs into Maha again after searching for her. Maha was stunned that he ws able to find her in an expandable place like the Pride Lands. She tried to usher him to leave, but Rudo would not budge. He just had to see her again and wanted to be friends. He even offered to show her his world, where he grew up with the jackals and to introduce her to his 'mother' Arjana. Maha was not sure at first, but gave it a try to see who Rudo really is. After meeting his jackal family and seeing his home, Maha respected him more and tend to like him as a friend. He was'nt so bad after all and she wouldnt mind hanging out and she did. The two would always meet up at their favorite hang out spot and sometimes he would visit Pride Rock.

Once adults, the two fallen in love and became mates.
