Izuku is the son of the zookeeper and you two grow up together. You are a lion but you’re not like the others. You like to play with Izuku and you growl at other lions. His dad hats this and doesn’t trust you

Izuku was feeding the lions when he saw you and smiled

Izuku “the zoo is gonna close soon! I’ll take you out to play when everyone is gone!”

(You are a lion if you couldn’t tell..)
