Kovu Re-Design

Since this version of "Kovu" is to be included in this story line, a re-write of Simba's Pride and how I felt it should have gone.

Kovu is also Scar's son, and the son of Zira. I'm not going to try and step around the incest issue and create problems like Disney has. So yes, Kiara and Kovu are cousins, AND he's Nala's half sibling. Yep, you heard me right. 

I think Kovu would be a bit like the Kovu in the original plot of Simba's pride, but I'm actually going to have it where Kovu spends more than just a day with Kiara. For one thing, I think Kovu would have some doubts about himself, especially after seeing how peaceful the Pridelanders are. Zira trains Kovu to be a killer, and teaches him that Simba is evil, a villain that destroyed their poor poor father Scar. So she doesn't simply taint his heart and make it ice cold, she actually convinces Kovu that Simba himself is the bad guy who must be eliminated at all costs. This is how I think it should have gone down, but he finds that Simba is a peaceful ruler who respects the circle of life and protects it's balance. He has his faults surely, but a killer he is not.
