Once again, I have to thank the incredibly talented : lynxbrush for another incredible character design! She really brought the majesty to this character and a striking presence suitable for his role in the story as a mentor, a leader, a father and a grandfather whose actions ripple across entire generations. Originally envisioned as a white lion, his new, white gold palette is honestly an even better fit, and I cannot thank Lynx enough for this!

DAKARAI (Shona "happiness, rejoice")
Place of Birth: Moon Falls, Moon Lands
Residence: Pride Lands
Role: Member of the Lion Guard (former), Lord of the Lion Guard (former), Elder
Parents: Tariro (father†), Kudzai (mother†)
Siblings: N/A
Mate: N/A (atm)
Cubs: Jabari (adopted son)
Personality: While once brash and full of bravado, maturity has sobered a once vigorous and gungho bruiser into a true warrior and leader--disciplined, refined and wise; knowing when to reach out a paw and act as a peacekeeper, and when to stand and fight with ferocity and courage. He is eloquent and soft-spoken; a father to all the young ones in the pride, and a dearly beloved friend to all of the adults. He is not without a sense of humour, however, with a dry sense of wit that occasionally glimmers through. Dakarai is a firm believer in the Circle of Life and that every animal must work together to maintain its fragile balance, even if at times it puts him into conflict with even his pride siblings.
Voice Actor: Liam Neeson (Aslan, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe)
