GENERAL INFO
Personality:
Zazu is a very prideful sort of bird, even in his old age. He takes himself, and any manners concerning him - including the royal family, very seriously. This leaves little in the time for fun or a social life, but at the end of the day, Zazu makes it work by keeping him amused in his own little ways. He's extremely protective of those he holds dear and close to him - the royal's especially. He'd lay his life on the line for Simba, his family, and those closest to him - perhaps to a fault. That said, he has a funny way of showing his affection, being known to snark and poke fun at them. It's all meant in good fun, he would assure everyone.

History:
Zazu was born to humble beginnings, raised by his parents on the edge of the Pridelands. It was then the shock of his family, when he earned favor with King Ahadi through a budding friendship. Taken in by his majordomo as his student, Zazu watched and learned all he could so that when the day Mufasa rose to power, he would become the next majordomo. And for a time, despite Scar's changing and sinister ways things were good. Zazu even finding a fondness for the rambunctious Simba and Nala, and falling right in with his new role.
Tragedy of course struck, and Zazu was disgusted to serve Scar. He was relieved by Simba's return, but also found that it hosted many challenges. The first? Teaching the king to be a proper king. The second? He soon had two cubs of his own, Kiara and Kion who Zazu would find himself quickly in charge of keeping a watchful eye on, as he had Simba. It was an eventful several years, between the war with the Outlanders and Kion being crowned King of the Tree, but Zazu has (begrudgingly) enjoyed himself.
Then, as things calmed down... The humans came. Zazu initially distrusted the one called Sam, but like the others - found the cub was hardly trouble. His words about the adults however? Did, and continue to, trouble Zazu greatly. Worried about the intentions the child may not have been aware of. Things became far more serious for him when Simba and Nala announced they were adopting Sam, and he again found himself out of his "empty nest" status to watch another cub. As he knew that Sam wasn't just any cub... Not with all that was happening.
Now, he watches the family carefully in hopes that they can nip any danger in the bud. Though his distrust of the adult humans and their intentions remains.
