Simba

Simba is the main protagonist of Disney's The Lion King franchise, a lion prince who is the son of Mufasa and Sarabi. After his father is murdered by his uncle Scar, Simba is manipulated into believing he is responsible and flees his home, only to return years later to reclaim his throne and restore balance to the Pride Lands. He is known for his journey of exile, friendship with Timon and Pumbaa, Nala's mate, and eventual return to become the king. When Simba becomes king, the Pride Lands are restored to their former glory, with the land becoming green and fertile again. He ends the tyranny of Scar, leading to the exile of Scar's loyal followers and the return of the herds. The reign is marked by peace, prosperity, and the continuation of the Circle of Life.
