Personality

Trivia

 * In Relatives of the King, Kovu's parents are Valido and Shentani. Both of his parents are villainous characters who wanted to take over the Pridelands for themselves in their own way. However, Shentani only wants what's best for her son and is less villainous than Valido. In Dark Times, Kovu's mother is Vizuri, who is more of a sweeter and kind character than Shentani. However, Kovu's unknown father was the leader of Vizuri's old pride who was tyrannical. This can be Valido himself but was never shown.
