@Garfieldlover22 From what I understand, most modern Egyptians are descended from the Arabs who invaded Egypt in 639 and 642 AD, and Arabic is the official language spoken by the majority of the modern Egyptian population. The modern descendants of the native Egyptians [the Pyramid builders] are the Copts, who form a separate ethnic group.
            
            With Maric, how does the idea that Beshte had him taken off the Football team after Maric's dangerous playing style nearly injured a team mate, and Maric tried to challenge the decision by appealing to Kion for help but Kion instead upheld Beshte's decision, sound as an explanation as to why Maric hates Kion?
            
            I imagine it wouldn't just get a reaction out of Kion ~ it'd deeply upset Vitani as well, and destroy any chances Maric has of making Vitani his girlfriend [which was never going to happen anyways], however I imagine it'll have to happen after Kopa becomes generally known about around School. [As an idea, perhaps Maric starts to feel attracted romantically to Vitani because of her unique looks and personality, maybe even admiring how she deals with her bullies and her sporting abilities?]

@textahoy for Ushari I imagine he would be Egyptian or Arabic given that in the show he was an Egyptian cobra. 
            For Maric and his friends, would it make sense for them to bring up Kopa to try and get a reaction out of Kion.

@Garfieldlover22 I think he's just a crossbreed rather than being any particular breed. We had a Burmese for years, but he passed away shortly before the Covid pandemic began.
            
            One of my friend's cats has taken to sitting on my artwork when I'm with them; this same cat had trouble with its back legs last year owing to an injury but he seems to be all right now and still purrs the instant my hand comes near his head.

@textahoy I’m doing alright. Just a lot on my mind. I can’t remember if I’ve ever asked but what kind of cat do u have?

@Garfieldlover22 Can you provide more information? What is the title of this book and what tags should I search for?

@Garfieldlover22 I am currently playing the second Battlefront game as well as an older game called Knights Of The Old Republic.
            
            I also have all of the Star Wars films on DVD, but it's been a while since I watched them.

@textahoy Do u play Star Wars video games?

I used to play Star Wars battlefront

@Garfieldlover22 To continue for Amer's brother, after he learns of Vitani's backstory, he is in awe of her and follows her around School, repeatedly bombarding her with questions about how the Outsiders live and what they're like, which Vitani finds annoying. He adjusts to the Outsider's presence in the Pridelands after the defeat of Scar and Zira much better than his brother, finding love with and marrying a former Outsider.
            
            Have you any ideas for physical descriptions of these three?
            
            Uru Abioye
            
            Uru, as I'm sure you know, is the wife of Ahadi, the Mother of Mufasa and Askari/Scar, Grandmother of Simba and Great Grandmother of Kiara and Kion.
            
            One of the senior citizens among the staff at Pridelands High, Uru works as the dance teacher, and is known for her warm, loving personality towards everyone, staff and students alike, often regailing them with tales of Ahadi, Mufasa, Scar, and Simba's younger years.
            
            Despite her advancing years, Uru is in full command of her faculties and very fit and healthy, and she will quickly slam her foot down on any student who steps out of line in her Class, or Mr. Akarchi when he is too harsh on one of the other students.
            
            The plan so far is for Uru to immediately recognise Vitani as a former Outsider, recognising mannerisms she inherited from Zira, sharing stories of the Pridelands' past with Vitani and Kion, and, later on, being instrumental in reuniting Vitani with her two half sisters.
            
            When Vitani becomes pregnant with Kion's kids, I imagine Uru'd be straight by Vitani's side immediately, offering her gentle words of encouragement, and is probably the one who rushes to her aid when she goes into labour. 
            
            She also misses Ahadi greatly and keeps his and Mufasa's pictures in her Classroom. She and Ahadi were a very loving couple and she was devastated when he died. She is also very friendly and supportive towards Kiara and Kovu when they become an item too, as well as encouraging Vitani to take her anger out on the dance floor

@textahoy how about the name Amer Tyran which translates to Bitter Bully in French. Maybe he’s Kions second cousin on his mothers side?

@Garfieldlover22 We have had family members over, and one of them has brought a friend with him, but they are going home soon so it will soon be back to normal for us.
            
            Speaking of family members:
            
            *Insert Name Here* is a cousin of Kion's, although I don't know yet precisely how he's related to Kion, and is very bitter and resentful towards Kion due to the fact that he had been expecting Kion to give him a job on the Lion Council when Kion won the election as Council President, and often acts as a bully towards Kion and his friends, regularly complaining to both teachers and other students about how Kion "overlooked" him in favour of his friends. He and Kion eventually reach an understanding, and he parts ways with the Pridelands after Zira and Scar's defeat to pastures new.
            
            *Insert name here II* is *Insert name here*'s younger brother, and is pretty much the opposite of his older brother; whereas the older is often a bully, the younger is friendly by nature and is usually the one who picks up the mess after his older brother bullies someone, regularly offering kindness and compassion and is very empathic. Hugs and compliments are second nature to him.
            
            Tiifu has a single, younger sister, who is very much like her in many ways ~ bubbly, interested in beauty and personal care, etc. She looks up to her elder sister and wants to do everything with Tiifu, but this is often impossible because they're in different Classes and Tiifu wanting to do things with her friends on the Cheerleading team. She's also definitely part of the Kion fanclub, having been crushing after him since, well, forever, leading to an awkward situation with both sisters crushing after the same guy,  and Kion often tells her stories about his Grandparents, or parents, and their adventures when they were younger. Kion is very empathic with her, and he looks out for her, often being the one who keeps her out of trouble with the older students or Kiara's Cheerleaders, who often view her as a nuisance.

@catherine-weaver I hope you guys get what you want for Christmas, and I hope you have a very, very merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Eve Garfield

@Garfieldlover22 Do you have any thoughts regarding what Nala's reply could probably be to Simba's last sentence?
            
            I would also very much appreciate any ideas you might have for the twins, and how Kion and Kiara react to when they're told the news.
            
            Did you enjoy my character description for Uru?

@textahoy what do u need my help with here?

@Garfieldlover22 Speaking of dialogue, here's a conversation between Nala and Simba I found myself envisioning a while back:
            
            *Simba has returned home  to find Nala on her own in the living room, crying*
            
            Simba: Nal'? Nal', what's wrong? Are you ok?
            
            Nala: I'm fine, Simba. *Sniffles* everything's fine.
            
            Simba: Then, why are you crying? Is there anything I can do?
            
            Nala: No. You see, I...I went to the Doctor's today, as you suggested.
            
            Simba: Ah. Did they  give you something for your morning sickness?
            
            Nala: No. They took a test, and...and it wasn't morning sickness.
            
            Simba: Huh? Are...are you ill, Nala? Please tell me you're not sick?
            
            Nala: I'm not sick, Simba. I'm pregnant.
            
            Simba: Wha...?
            
            Nala: I'm pregnant again, Simba. We're going to be parents again. And...it's twins.
            
            Simba: Pregnant? Twins? But, Nala, that's won...that's wonderful. Do Kion and Kiara know?
            
            Nala: No. Only you and my parents know so far.
            
            Simba: Then, why were you crying?
            
            Nala: I was thinking about Vivi, and her Mother.
            
            Simba: Vivi? Nala, Vivi isn't with her Mother anymore, remember? She's safe.
            
            *Vivi is a cutesy nickname for Vitani used by Simba and Nala*
            
            Nala: Vivi's mother chose to make her life a living hell, Simba. She was trying to drill her into the perfect Soldier, a mindless drone for her crazy cause. She willingly chose that, Simba. What if I become that kind of Mother? What if I let our babies down? What if I...what if I let you down?
            
            Simba: That's not going to happen, Nal'. We already have two wonderful children, and, as I said, Vivi's safe now and living a life of freedom. I was reading the teacher's reports on her, and they're amazed at her progress at School.
            
            Nala: We lost Kopa, Simba. He'd have been an older teenager by now. Do we even deserve these babies? Do we really deserve this chance, after what we let happen to Kopa?
            
            Simba: We didn't let it happen to Kopa, Nala, you're thinking very irrationally. It was Zira's fault and Zira's only that he died, nobody else's.

@Garfieldlover22 @Garfieldlover22 My Dad has a picture on his phone of the cat in the act of climbing the Christmas Tree, but the problem would be getting it onto my PC because none of us are particularly good with technology.
            
            Is there enough information in the longer character description I sent you for Kion for some ideas for what outfits he wears to School regularly?
            
            I could also use some names for some of his non LG friends mentioned in said description.

@textahoy is there anyway u can send me a video of that? I love funny cat videos.

@Garfieldlover22 Oh, yes, but we have to hide anything chocolate related in our house in case the dog finds it. [Chocolate's very bad for dogs]
            
            For some reason I am having visions of our two ~ year ~ old cat climbing up the Christmas Tree and sleeping in the branches, like he did last year. ;-) Silly cat.
