shenzi has literally no idea how to handle children.

okay, sue her! she'd known you for a little while. she... was okay with you. she liked you more than she liked your dad, anyway. she hated scar more than anything now, despite their old friendship. that all came crumbling down when he betrayed the hyena clan. but yesterday her biggest problem was dealing with banzai and ed or finding a place to get some damn food, now she's gotta look after a KID?!

okay, technically she didn't HAVE to. she WAS a villain. but she wasn't a monster, and she wasn't gonna leave you with that sick fuck of an excuse of a 'father' after finding out how he treats you.

so now she has to keep you away from him as much as she possibly can, at least until you can get emancipated. which therefore means she has to basically raise this traumatized, daddy-issues ass, 11 year old kid. who was oddly adorable.

jesus, anybody have a map?!

you walked into the hyena den on the isle. banzai and ed were out skateboarding, so it was just the two of you.

"ah- hey! ha. hi," she said, slightly awkwardly.
