Kovu/Relationships

==Family==

Zira
Kovu cares about his mother but does not truly understand her actions, especially her hatred towards the Pride Landers. Kovu will always obey her every word and, while he is loyal to her and won't leave her side, he has questioned her on why they can't all be friends.

Nuka
Kovu cares for his brother, but can also feel embarrassed by his actions, as shown when Kion pinned him to the ground and Kovu's voice contained disappointment when he revealed that they were related. Kovu does not approve of his brother's devious nature, and will not allow him to disobey their mother's orders.

Vitani
Kovu has not been shown interacting much with his sister, though he appears to be closer to her than he is his brother Nuka.

Kion
Unlike the rest of his pride, Kovu does not seem to harbor any ill feelings towards Kion, and appears to be more of an acquaintance or neutral individual where Kion is concerned. He was excited at the prospect of being welcomed back into the Pride Lands, but towards the end, he was frightened of Kion and his power.

Kiara
Kovu has mentioned that he met Kiara once, and became excited when Kion hinted towards a possible reunion with her and the Pride Landers.

Jasiri
Much like Kion, Kovu is seen as a neutral entity at worst or an acquaintance at best to Jasiri. Whilst the hyena remains angry at the lions for stealing her water, Kovu was quick to defend her when his brother tried to strike out at her, and showed no signs of ill feeling towards her.
