Jororo: "Soft"
Pride Affiliation: Royal Pride (birth), Runner Pride (adoption)
Generation: 10
Voice Actor: TBA
Relations: Son to Nala, Adhumita; brother to Kopa, Shani/Vitani, Chaka, Aisha, Kiara, Naba; mate to Asani; father to Ilham, Girma

Jororo is conceived when Nala seeks help from the Runner Pride. Things don't work out and Nala must leave, unaware that her trysts with the King have caused her to conceive a son with him. She later meets her old cubhood friend Simba, and in the euphoria of learning he is alive -- and on the rebound from Adhumita -- their passion turns to mating, and Nala conceives again with Simba.

When the twins are born, Jororo is the older by minutes, and Kopa the younger, so Jororo is the on presented to the kingdom as future King. However, as the boys age, Jororo exhibits signs that he is not Simba's child, namely his pure white chin -- characteristic of Runner Pride lions. Knowing that she must, Nala tells Simba of what occurred before she met him. Simba is accepting that he cannot hold against her actions taken -- and love explored -- while she thought him dead. He takes Jororo as his own, and treats him as if he truly was his own son... but Simba questions for many years whether or not Kopa is truly his, but Nala eventually convinces him that since her first mate had blue eyes, it is unlikely that Kopa and his orange eyes came from Adhumita; she's never heard of two lions with non-orange eyes producing a cub with them (the other way arund yes, but not this way).

Jororo is still fairly young when the Runner Pride come seeking Nala's help: Adhumita has died tragically, and they have no males left, nor any of the royal line. Despite how they treated her while she was among them, Nala takes pity on their fate -- a pity they never showed her -- and reveals that her son Jororo is Adhumita's son, and the last in his line. Seeing his white chin, they believe her. She allows them to take Jororo back to their home, but witht he caveat that she will visit from time to time, and if she does not like how they are raising him, she will take him back -- no matter how much blood it costs.

Among his people. Jororo grows into a good and wise King, one who is much beloved by his people, and who leaves behind a legacy of peace and compassion.

Jororo is my design for "Fluffy" -- the cub at the end of TLK. Since none of my children of Simba and Nala matched that cub's design, and because its design does NOT match Kiara's (although the makers of SP tried to say Kiara was Fluffy), I created this guy to take that role. His white chin develops as he ages, so it would NOT be present at his presentation. Colors are taken directly from the screencap of Fluffy, excepting the red mane. But since Simba also had a brown tail tuft at HIS presentation, I figured it was ok to make the mane red XD
