Name: Beshte Gender: Male Species: Hippopotamus Beshte's coat is pale gray. broken by a patch of dark spots on his back. The Mark of the Guard is imprinted on his left shoulder. His eyes are blue. Beshte has been described as a happy-go-lucky and enthusiastic hippopotamus. He is the most genial character in the group and is very kind, friendly, encouraging, and outgoing. He speaks with a surprisingly soft demeanor despite his size and is happy to be part of the Lion Guard. When trouble is afoot, he shows tremendous strength and courage and does not hesitate to charge enemies. He is a bit scatterbrained, and sometimes forgets things mid-conversation. It doesn't take much for him to get quite temperamental and emotional, and he is easily moved by touching moments. He is noted to be extremely authoritative, trustworthy, and reliable in the sense that he doesn't make things up, and knows that he can count on the other members of the Lion Guard. Beshte is the conversational and understanding animal in the Pride Lands. He is very laid back, as it takes a lot to upset him. However, he is also quite sensitive to having his feelings hurt, as seen in "The Imaginary Okapi". Beshte is also very sympathetic and demonstrative towards the fears, worries, or troubles of others. Like Kion, Beshte despairs at the thought of letting his father down. Beshte is also the perfect example of someone who is your friend for life, but also someone who is there to keep bullies away.
