The lost Princess of the Sun Lands, Akiki was found on the borders of the Pride Lands by the Great King Mufasa as an infant, and thus she was taken in and raised by the pride sisters as one of their own. A never-dimming ball of sunlight, fiery spirit, mischief and affection, even in the darkest days in the pride's history, Akiki is the right hand lioness of Queen Nala. Co-leader of the hunting party, lady-in-waiting to the Queen, royal adviser of the family... and the loving mate of the Lion Guard's leader, Lord Jabari. The proud mother of their cubs: the fiery and exuberant prankster Moto, the tragically taken-too-soon Jua, and of course her "little storm", Makali.
