Lite

"'That's because Lite was the only one left to tell the story. He told it, and told it, and when the kingdoms fell, he built Pride Law out of his hate and fear.' —Rain about Lite and the legend in Episode 8: Rain. ''"

Lite was an African male lion, and an ancient chosen leader of the Sun Kingdom. He was the last known leader of the Sun Kingdom before it fell.

Personality

 * Lite was portrayed as brave and heroic in the legends. Before the war, Lite was kind, charasmatic and hopeful, but he soon became cold-hearted and brutal after learning about Kyoga's affair. Lite truly loved Kyoga that he was bitterly hurt when she passed him over in favor of Karabi. This shows that Lite couldn't handle rejection very well. In response he started the war that would destroy the 3 kingdoms. Following Karabi's death and Kyoga's departure, Lite lied and covinced surving lion's that Karabi was the bad guy through a serise of vile slanders. Lite had also became homophoibc as a result of Kyoga's rejction of him (As both she and Karabi were female). So he made same-sex marriages Ilegal within pride-law.

Appearance

 * Lite is a tan-orange lion with an orangish-brown mane, which turns darker along his chest. He has a darker shaded brown tail tip, as well as having a paler muzzle, eyelids, paws, inner-ears, and underbelly. He also has a tuft of orangish-brown fur on his chin and clear blue eyes.

History

 * Lite grew up close to Kyoga, and developed strong romantic feelings for her. In an attempt to end the feud between the Sun Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom, the two were betrothed to each other to bring a newfound peace. However, unknown to Lite, Kyoga was in a romantic relationship with a lioness named Karabi. The day before their marriage, Karabi and Kyoga ran away together to live in the Storm Kingdom, without telling Lite.


 * The morning of the ceremony Lite had lions out looking for Kyoga, believing her to be killed or kidnapped, until a lioness named Precisecharge reported Kyoga's status. He refused to believe that Kyoga would run away despite Precisecharge telling him Kyoga made it clear it was what she wanted. Instead, he believed that Karabi had kidnapped her. This caused him to wage a war between the Storm Kingdom and the Sun Kingdom, causing death to many innocent lives on both sides.


 * He was then invited to a secret meeting by Karabi and Kyoga, where the lioness finally admitted that she had never loved him as a mate, and her heart had always belonged to Karabi. He was heartbroken and angry at hearing this, believing she had loved him romantically and not only as a friend. He tried to get closer to Kyoga, but Karabi attacked him, snapping how he was a monster and needed to be killed. Kyoga begged her not to because even though he had done terrible things (starting a war with devastating consequences), Lite was her friend and she couldn't watch him be killed. Karabi let him up and returned to Kyoga.


 * Crazed at this point, Lite took the chance and sliced the side of Karabi's neck, which ended up killing her. Heartbroken by the loss of her mate, Kyoga cursed Lite and all of his reincarnations, telling him how she would always be the one to kill him before she disappeared with Karabi's body. Lite was shocked by what happened before him. When he returned to the broken kingdoms he lied about what happened, saying that Karabi had killed Kyoga and he had avenged her death by killing her.


 * He went on to make prides and Pride Law, which was centered around male lions, and included outlawing same-sex relationships. So in the stories told by generations down, he was characterized as a brave and noble lion who killed the evil and cruel Karabi.

Karabi
It is unknown what Karabi and Lite's relationship was before the war, but after learning how Kyoga had supposedly left with her to go to the Storm Kingdom, Lite grew an incredibly strong hatred for the lioness and vowed to save his love. During their confrontation on the highest peak of the Emerald Valley, Karabi grows defensive of Kyoga and pins Lite down, intending to kill him by strangulation. But when Kyoga begs for her to let him go, Karabi feels sympathy for him and lets him live.

When her back is turned, Lite seizes his chance and slashes his enemy's throat. Karabi bleeds out; Lite says his actions were justified, and that Karabi was crazy. Furious, Kyoga curses Lite in the form of Azra, then dissapears with her dead love. Confused and bitter, Lite tells the Pride that Karabi killed Kyoga, and that he then avenged her by destroying the, as he made it seem like, villainous lioness. He also created Pride Lore, forbidding homosexual relationships between lionesses.

Kyoga
Kyoga and Lite were originally very close friends, and even grew up together. They were promised to eachother as mates, and Lite loved her very dearly romantically, while unknown to him at the time, she did not feel the same way about him.

However, after learning that Kyoga had left with her to go to the Storm Kingdom, Lite immediately suspected that it was a lie and that the lioness had instead kidnapped his mate. He grew a strong hatred for her due to this belief and began a war with the Storm Kingdom in an attempt to rescue Kyoga, not knowing that she was safe and did not want to be saved.

When Kyoga confessed that she did not love him and he becomes confused and heartbroken, even becoming possessive of Kyoga. Karabi attacks and tries killing him, but Kyoga manages to stop her. However, still scared that the lioness was going to kill him, he slit Karabi's throat and she almost immediately dies. He was distrustful and even scared of the lioness.

Trivia

 * According to the Pride Law that Lite enforced, lionesses who were in a romantic relationship could be punished by death.
 * Lite is currently the only lion that has a mane tuft on his chin.
