Kion

Kion is the protagonist of The Lion Guard, a movie and television series inspired by The Lion King.

Personality
Kion is described as one who "defies tradition," as he has assembled a guard that consists of creatures other than lions. In this way, he is open to other species and willing to give underdogs a chance at making a difference.

Physical Appearance
Kion bears a striking resemblance to his father Simba. Small and lithe, Kion is in good shape, bearing slight shoulders, pronounced chest and a moderately well-muscled build. His fur is light gold, while his muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all lighter in color. Although his lower eye shades are also light, his upper eye shades are chestnut. He has light brown eyes and a maroon nose. His most distinctive features are his ear rims (which were inherited from his father) and a tuft of reddish fur on his head that is the beginnings of his mane. Unlike cub Simba's tuft, it is swept back in a style similar to that of his great-uncle Scar's. Kion has a pawprint mark on one shoulder, and bears spots on the backs of his lower front legs. Kion also has a lion head marking on his shoulder.

A recent Disney sizzle reel indicates that Kion's design has been slightly altered, as the pawprint mark on his shoulder has morphed into the symbol of a lion.

The Lion Guard
Serving alongside his father Simba, Kion is a member of the Lion Guard, a group which helps to protect the Pride Lands from scavengers like the hyenas.
