GENERAL INFO
Personality:
The Lion King lives in the shadow of his father, his absence leaves a massive hole in his life, that his family and advisors do their best to fill. Although he is an adult, Simba still has further to grow. He trusts in those around him to keep him from making too grave of mistakes, and to keep him informed. Family and friends are dearest to him, he experienced loss once and fears losing his loved ones, or them losing him. Like his father before him, he acts with bravery.
The Pridelands have recovered from Scar's devastation, but the political situation is terrible. Outlanders forcing his son into military action, Backlanders looking to expand their reach... and the strange new creatures. Nothing his father had to deal with, or could teach him, but he has the confidence, and the heart, to do what needs to be done. His greatest flaw is fear, fear of loss, fear of hyenas and hostile lions. He is still a broken lion, but he surrounds himself with the support he will need to heal.

History:
Simba was born the son of Mufasa, one of the greatest kings of the Pridelands. From a young age he wanted adventure, and danger. He was young of course, and behaved just as a young prince should. It was unfortunate that his trusted uncle led him astray, and into serious danger at an Elephant Graveyard. His father's advisor Zazu couldn't keep an eye on him, and his future-wife Nala. His misbehavior put himself and Nala in danger, forcing him to learn the hard way that he had to learn he was not invincible, that bravery did not mean seeking danger, and to respect his father's wishes.
The young prince had no idea the danger and evil his uncle possessed, and unfortunately it left him and his father vulnerable to a nefarious scheme to kill the both of them. His father killed in a stampede saving him, and himself run off from the Pridelands and left to die. Not only traumatized by the death of his father, the king, he felt responsible for it as well as stated by his Uncle Scar himself, still blind to his evil.
Scar took control of the Pridelands, and while he was saved from death by a meerkat and warthog (Timon and Pumbaa), his heart was heavy with guilt and depression. He was taught Hakuna Matata, to learn to put the past behind him, which helped him in this dire time to persevere. Simba also learned to subsist on grubs, allowing him to live peacefully with Timon and Pumbaa, as well to survive in the jungle they lived.
His new adoptive parents raised him through his teenage years, until the day came he was strong enough to face not only his evil uncle, but his past. He reunited with Nala, who informed him of the dire situation that Scar had brought the Pridelands to and challenged his lifestyle of Hakuna Matata, and convinced him to face Rafiki, who taught him to not run from his past, but to learn from it. He faced the trauma of his father's death, and from speaking to his father in the clouds, was emboldened to take back his life from his uncle and face his past.
Simba, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa returned to the Pridelands to take it back. Timon and Pumbaa acted as a distraction, Simba confronted Scar after he attacked her mother. He was willing to take responsibility for his father's death, showing true courage. Scar's arrogance would be his undoing as he finally confessed his evil to Simba. Simba's pride and allies took care of the hyenas, while Simba defeated Scar, who ultimately perished at the teeth of his own hyena army after Simba's sole offer of mercy.
Scar had chosen an outsider cub, named Kovu as his heir sometime before. Simba's rejection of this heir, in favor of his own children, resulted in an attack on his life. Zira, her family, and her pride were exiled for high treason. Resentment would grow from this harsh judgement, but who could think rationally or even consider forgiveness after facing all the trauma Simba had gone through...?
Simba sired two children with his wife Nala. Kiara who as the first-born would be his heir, the future queen. The second, Kion who would grow to bear the Mark of the Guard, and possess the Roar of the Elders, to form a Lion Guard to defend the Pridelands.
