Makini/Relationships

==Friends, Allies & Acquaintances==

Kion
Makini is the Royal Mjuzi in training and like Rafiki, she is a friend to Kion and his family.

Upon first meeting, Kion was surprised by to met her when learned of the cub's ability to speak to his grandfather. The two get along well and he has confidence in her as the future Royal Mjuzi. Kion is happy to accept her as a travel companion on certain missions, and appreciates her help in any given situation. Kion also trusts her enough to help out when he is unable to, as seen when he was paralyzed in "The Bite of Kenge". Kion is also quick to defend her when others seem overly harsh towards her.

Kiara
Kiara likes to work and talk with the mandrill as seen when they try and help the elephants and Makini does care for her which is proven true when she tells the guard that the hyenas had kidnapped her friend and she thinks it’s her fault although the guard assures her it’s not. Non a less the two seem to be friendly towards each other, and both would make a great team once it’s time for them to fulfill their destinies.

Fuli
Makini also admires Fuli because she's the first girl ever on the Lion Guard although she usually bores and annoys the cheetah as seen during "The Wisdom of Kongwe" but she also convinces Fuli to observe so she can defeat Makucha and believes in most things that she’s says such as her claiming that faster is better, showing that the two get along well and are good friends.

Rafiki
Makini likes learning from Rafiki she says that she gets very excited to be learning about everything such as the celebrations, painting the history of the Pridelands and more.

Makini does have a hard time paying attention and being quite. The two mandrills seem to have a close relationship.

Makucha
When Makini first met Makucha, she misinterpreted his sarcasm as friendly banter and attempted to befriend the leopard. However, his ferocity soon caused her to become frightened of his presence. Later, she attempted to battle him using her broken Bakora Staff, but was thrown aside. When Makucha revealed that he doesn't like mandrill, she took it personally and was hurt by his words, even going so far as to cry. She was overjoyed when Fuli was able to defeat him.
