New characters means new stories to add to my AU (in case you haven't realized I disregard the characters' involvement in the books)
'King' Joe, in my story, is a powerhungry lion who isn't very strong or smart. He prefers to manipulate others into doing his bidding. He has many cubs, but his eyes are only on Mohatu, his youngest cub because of his sheer size. He wants to take advantage of Mohatu's success.
The Selfish Lion, on the other hand, is the older brother of Mohatu who has some hidden resentment there because his father disregarded his strengths for his larger-than-average-sized brother. To get back at him, The Selfish Lion gives Mohatu trouble. I changed up his look because I found it was stupid to make him look EXACTLY LIKE SCAR besides the coloring.
