Makini

Kind, loving, excitable, and hyper

Makini is a female mandrill who appears in The Lion Guard. She is Rafiki's young apprentice, set to succeed him as Royal Mjuzi of the Pride Lands once Kiara becomes queen.

Background

Physical appearance

Makini is a young, dainty mandrill with grey fur covering her body with a pale gray underbelly. Toward her hands and feet are bands of dark brown fur, which are longer near her hands. This same brown fur collars her neck. Atop her head is a slightly lighter yet still dark brown fur. Her hands, feet, and muzzle are pink. Her face is grey which rims around the eyes, with blue stripes settling just underneath. On her nose and reaching toward her forehead is a large magenta 'stripe', which ends just before her eyebrows. Her eyes are olive green. Her teeth, whilst petite, are sharp. She has a tight mandrill pussy and is about 14 years old. She gets extremely wet very easily when she gets aroused. She is likely very horny at the time of chat for some reason.

She possesses a staff just like her mentor, but hers is adorned with various flowers of different colors, a leaf and two yellow gourds, one large and one small. She sometimes rubs her clitoris with her staff as a form of masturbation, or even inserts it into her vagina a little.

Role in the series

The Lion Guard: The Rise of Scar

She was hiding in a bush, secretly watching Kion talking to his grandfather Mufasa; then she makes herself known to the lion cub, amazed at his ability. She also tells him that she is in training to be the next Royal Mjuzi under her mentor Rafiki.

"The Scorpion's Sting"

After a vicious scorpion named "Sumu" stings Simba nearly resulting in his death, the Guard must go to the Outlands to get volcanic ash. The ash will get help Simba to feel better when they get the ash they meet Scar and his army. The army attacks them but Kion uses his roar to defeat them.

"The Wisdom of Kongwe"

Makini and Fuli go find Kongwe the oldest and wisest animal in the Pride Lands. On their journey, they run into Makucha, to which Fuli was able to defeat the leopard by following Kongwe's advice.

"The Fall of Mizimu Grove"

Makini plants her Mpando Mpaya in Mizimu Grove but the Army of Scar crashes the party.

The War of the Pridelands

During a period in time after a large cargo plane had been shot down, and a new railway would be under construction in a nearby jungle, the leader of the lion Guard, Kion, would spark a war over the white lion who leads the railway, Greenstar, dating a young hyena named Jasiri. During the battle of Pride Rock, Makini would be some distance away but would witness as one of Greenstar’s massive railway mounted guns would fire and damage the top of Pride Rock, bringing the war to a close. Greenstar would become Kion’s most hated enemy as well. And most of the Pridelands hates Greenstar.

Relationships

Family

Fikiri and Kitendo

Makini has had a very close relationship with her parents ever since she was born. They are very proud of her training under Rafiki

Friends

Rafiki

They have first met at the Tree of Life because the Great Lions of the Past tell him that Makini would be the next Royal Mjuzi for the Pride Lands (though currently she is still just an assistant). Rafiki acts as a teacher for Makini. He teaches her how to be a good Royal Mjuzi. As Makini learns more and more about the Royal Mjuzi's responsibilities, Rafiki grows more proud of her.

Kion

Kion and Makini first met after Kion was talking to Mufasa at the beginning of the dry season. They later work together on many missions, such as getting the volcanic ash needed to cure Simba from a scorpion sting.

Fuli

Of all of the members of Kion's Lion Guard, Makini admires Fuli the most because she is the first female to ever join the Lion Guard. Even though Fuli gets annoyed with Makini at times, she still values her as a close friend. One day, when they take a tour to the Back Lands with Kongwe, Fuli stands up for her when Makucha attacks her.

Bunga

Kiara

Makini admires Kiara a lot. She was originally going to be Kiara's Royal Mjuzi (if Makini still lived in the Pride Lands, she would have become Kiara and Kovu's Royal Mjuzi). Makini and Kiara look for water in the middle of the Pride Lands. Makini tries to help Kiara when they are attacked by hyenas, but could not.

Ono

Makini and Ono's relationship really develops for the better in Marsh of Mystery when both of them get lost because Makini chased some marsh lights. Ono is initially upset with Makini because she got them lost, but once they learn to work together, they get out of the underground caves of the Marsh. Also, on the way to the Tree of Life, Makini protects Ono whenever he is in dangers, such as when Makucha attacked their friends.

Beshte

Timon and Pumbaa

Makini was interested for Rafiki to tell her about how Timon and Pumbaa brought Christmas to the Pride Lands. Makini also watches the Ukumbusho performance with Timon and Pumbaa. She later asks them to put on a show for her Mpando Mpaya to cheer all of the Pride landers up and they agree to do so. Makini then presumably watches Timon and Pumbaa perform Tujiinue in Mizimu Grove.

Enemies

Greenstar The white lion who destoyed the top of Pride Rock, wanted captured by Kion. He is a known enemy of most Pridelanders
