Love interest if not Jasiri then I'd say Rani suitable or Tifu just respectful to Kion. If Rani's from Asia then she's likely a lioness who ran down from the real Gir Forest, or it could be the creators didn't know the Swalihili or another African language to choose a name that meant queen. If the creators of the series wanted Rani in the background but in natural lion areas she could be a lioness running from Egypt, Ethiopia, or Africa's northern jungle higher up than Kenya.

If not using Swahili the creators of this Lion Guard series sure could have chosen one of Ethiopia's various words for queen. But Asia or Africa it'll be some good fun to meet Rani.

I'd let Rani be similar to Serfina while chatting, like Kiara while rescuing and doing her night guard work, but like Nala while giving advice, and like Sarabi in her own scenes of relief. That's how social, brave, and reflective I'd introduce Rani in motion picture.
