CHARACTERS
=============
Khalfani
Asani
Kanu
Halima
Merah


What exactly are you? (I added this one)

Khalfani: A lion cub. Why do you ask?
Asani: A lion. Full grown, I might add.
Kanu: I'm a hyena. And don't call me a pup!
Halima: A white lion cub. Pleased to meet you.
Merah: A hyena. What's it to you?


What's your full name?

Khalfani: Khalfani, son of Asani. Does that count?
Asani: Yes, son, I'm sure it would. I am Asani, king of the Eastern Pride.
Kanu: Um... well, like Khalfani said. I'm Kanu, son of Rae and Nor of the Broken Pack.
Halima: Halima, daughter of Kovu and Kiara. Tee-hee.
Merah: Whatever. I'm just Merah. Deal with it.


How old are you?

Khalfani: About 16 seasons.
Asani: Yes, I would be around 43 seasons old.
Kanu: I'm just about a week younger than Khalfani.
Halima: I'll be 14 seasons old tomorrow.
Merah: *sigh* I'm three years old. In hyena years, that's about 17.


What is your height?

Khalfani: About 2'9" at the shoulder.
Asani: 8 feet exactly at the shoulder.
Kanu: 2'7" at the shoulder. I'm huge, huh? *cackles*
Halima: 2'8" at the shoulder, almost like Khalfani.
Merah: Yeah, yeah... I'm 3'11" at the shoulder.


Are you a virgin?

Khalfani: *wide eyed* Am I a WHAT?
Asani: *shakes head* Oh, Khalfani... Well, I'm not. Khalfani is my son, borne of my lifemate, Nania.
Kanu: Wha... EWW!!! Yes, I AM!!! Why'd you even ask me that?!
Halima: Chill, Kanu. And, yes, I am.
Merah: *grits teeth* None of your business!


Who's your mate/spouse?

Khalfani: I... I don't have one. I'm not old enough.
Asani: Nania, forever and always. Such is the way of the Lion King.
Kanu: I don't have one... Aww...
Halima: *blushes* I kinda like Khalfani, but... no, I don't have one.
Merah: *cackles evilly* I'd probably kill mine.


Do you have any kids?

Khalfani: Uh, no.
Asani: Khalfani here is my only son.
Kanu: None. Sorry...
Halima: No, of course not. I'm just a cub.
Merah: Yeah, I'd kill them, too.


What's your favorite food?

Khalfani: Antelope meat... Yum.
Asani: *shakes head* I can't play favorites. I eat simply whatever meat I hunt.
Kanu: Meat. Period.
Halima: Yeah, I'd have to agree with Kanu.
Merah: The flesh of a fallen foe. Soon, I shall savor Khalfani's corpse... Just wait.


What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Khalfani: Uhh...
Asani: Umm... my favorite what?
Kanu: Umm... meat?
Halima: What's ice cream?
Merah: Yeah, ask us questions about stuff we know, you idiot.

**NOTE: I must be more aware of my audience in the next interview...


Have you killed anyone?

Khalfani: *shakes head* Nuh-uh.
Asani: I killed Kivar, the Jackalking, to gain the pride I now rule.
Kanu: No... I'd probably get killed first...
Halima: Um, no... thought I've wanted to kill Kanu sometimes...
Merah: *icy stare* You have no idea...


Do you hate anyone?

Khalfani: My only enemy is that Merah girl, but I don't hate her. I pity her.
Asani: No. It is wasteful to hate anyone.
Kanu: Nah, I'm probably too chicken to hate anyone.
Halima: No. It's much nicer to make friends.
Merah: Khalfani, Asani, Simba, and all who stand in my way to ruling the Pridelands.


Have any secrets?

Khalfani: I don't think I'd tell any of them to you...
Asani: My only secret is that I fear for my son when he comes to rule the kingdom... I'm not sure he'll be ready.
Kanu: I'm... no. Everyone knows I'm a scaredy-pup.
Halima: I... well, I already said I have a crush on Khalfani, so...
Merah: Yes... All my plans for conquering the kingdom.


Do you love anyone?

Khalfani: Nah.
Asani: My mate, Nania.
Kanu: My parents... or did you mean like romantically?
Halima: HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY I LOVE KHALFANI?!?!?!
Merah: Foolishness. Love is empty.


What is your job?

Khalfani: I'm prince of the East.
Asani: Son, that's hardly a job. Try being King. That's work.
Kanu: I'm just a pup. Why would I have any job?
Halima: I try to keep Khalfani and Kanu out of trouble... believe me, that's a job.
Merah: All my energies are poured into gaining the ultimate power to overthrow Asani and his son.


Boy or Girl?

Khalfani: Boy?
Asani: Um... I'd hardly say "Boy," but yes, that's the closest description of myself.
Kanu: Boy. Pup. Fool. All am I. *grins*
Halima: Girl-power. Oh, yeah.
Merah: A hardened heart. A woman. Not girl, not lady. Female.


What do you do to relax?

Khalfani: Take a nap in a grove that only I know of.
Asani: I can't relax. I'm the King of the East.
Kanu: Take a nap. Heh.
Halima: I sit on Pride Rock and watch the sun move across the sky.
Merah: I cannot relax. Not until I rule.


Any clue to your alignment? (Good vs Bad?)

Khalfani: Good, or else I'd make a bad king.
Asani: I follow the wisdoms of the Circle of Life. Good.
Kanu: Good... Cowardly, but good.
Halima: I'm as good as I can possibly be. I'm not perfect, though.
Merah: Evil. Twisted. Loony. If I'm called one of those words again, I'll show you just how bad I can be.


If you were stuck with one person for the rest of your life, who would it be?

Khalfani: Kanu. He's the best.
Asani: Choose between my son and Nania? Sorry, I'd stop the situation cold before I did that.
Kanu: Khalfani. He'd protect me.
Halima: Khalfani...
Merah: Myself. That's all I need.

What clothes do you like to wear?

Khalfani: Uhh...
Asani: *silent*
Kanu: I... um... fur?
Halima: I don't know what you mean.
Merah: *claws interviewer's face* Darn you! Only ask us questions we can answer!


Do you have a role model?

Khalfani: My dad, Asani.
Asani: Simba. He is the greatest king in existence.
Kanu: Khalfani and my parents. They're all very brave.
Halima: My parents (Kovu, Kiara), my grandparents (Simba, Nala), and Vitani.
Merah: Myself. But I try to follow the methods of Scar, Zira, and Kivar. Only I improve them.


Favorite color?

Khalfani: It's gotta be red.
Asani: Green, color of life.
Kanu: Brown and Gray. That's what color I am!
Halima: Blue. It's so peaceful.
Merah: Black and crimson, the colors of death and freshly drawn blood.


Describe yourself in one word.

Khalfani: Brave.
Asani: I don't wish to boast, but Wise.
Kanu: Wishful.
Halima: Caring.
Merah: Conqueror.
