Kion is canonically Simba's second child and only son. In my universe, he is Simba's third child and second son, with Kopa being the firstborn son, Kiara being the second-born (daughter), and Kion being the last born.

Given that Kopa ran off to join his Uncle Mheetu in his travels, Kion would have taken his place as heir to the throne and future king. Because he was an unexpected child, however, and Kiara had already done her training to become queen, Simba told Kion he could take over the Lion Guard.

Kion is a bratty lion and it isn't until late into his young adulthood he gets the sense knocked into him by Kiara after brutally rejecting Shoga's advances.

After this, Kion becomes a much better lion and the leader Simba and Nala had always hoped him to be. He eventually marries a mute rogue he finds, named Chiku, which ironically means "chatterer."

However, this happiness and peace is not meant to last. The Lost King, Kopa, returns years later with an old Mheetu, a thought-to-be-dead Nuka, and the traitors Vitani, Spotty, and Dotty. Both Kion and Chiku are slaughtered in the attack.

About Nipha Eggs

Nipha eggs are peerless in that they have unusual metaphysical properties. For example, if you touch the darker, inner part of the egg, your hand (or any solid object) will go straight through the egg's cells! However, if you touch the outer portion of the egg (where the pigmentation is lighter), your hand can grip the egg easily. The Science and Research Center at Ark City has no explanations for these unique characteristics.

About the Nipha Creature

Long ago, before the Fall (or "Second Drowning") of Ark, the isle of Ark was covered with permanent tundra and snow. The only species that lived at that time were Nipha. There were the four tribes of Nipha: Aan, Baa, Cen, and Daan. All harnessing their unusual metaphysical properties from conception, each tribe specialized in a form of bending the natural elements of Ark, which were Air, Earth, Water, and Fire. Peace between the four tribes abruptly ended, when the Daan, possessing the ability to bend Fire, attacked and wreaked havoc on the other three tribes. War raged for 100 years and then came the Second Drowning which killed everything on Ark, including the War. Just two Nipha eggs mysteriously survived the Second Drowning, one male and the other conveniently female. To this day, the Nipha species only contains decedents from the Aan tribe and the Science and Research Center believes that Nipha today are very different from the original Nipha. Although they've lost their ability to bend Air, those engaged in pagan religions regard Nipha as "Gods of the Air."
