Kasi

Kasi is a character featured on The Lion Guard, voiced by Savannah Smith. She is a former member of the Outsiders and currently the fastest member of the Lion Guard under Vitani.

Background
Kasi was originally born a Pridelander sometime during the reign of Scar. During his reign Kasi, along with multiple other lionesses, were very loyal to Scar and supported his rule. For this reason she along with all the other lions who supported Scar were exiled to the Outlands, by his nephew Simba, after he defeated Scar in the battle for Pride Rock. As a member of the Outsiders, Kasi was originally an enemy of Simba’s pride and the Pridelands, taking part in the plans of the Outsiders’ leader Zira to overthrow and assassinate Simba. However, during the events The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, she along with the other Outsiders (sans Zira who refused and Nukawho had already died) were persuaded by Kovu and Kiara to stop the fight and switch over to Simba’s side. Sometime after the reunion of the two prides, Kovu’s sister and the former second-in-command of the Outsiders Vitani, recruited Kasi along with fellow former Outsiders Imara, Tazama, and Shabaha, to become members of her Lion Guard (since Kion’s Lion Guard was away at the Tree of Life at the time). Due to her incredible speed and impressive agility, Kasi was chosen as the fastest member of Vitani’s Lion Guard.

Personality
Like the other members of Vitani’s Lion Guard Kasi is a brave and fierce lioness, who is committed to defending the Pride Lands and protecting the Circle of Life. One of her most prominent traits is her confidence in herself and her skills. This confidence however, can also make her cocky and slightly arrogant. This was shown when she, along with her teammates, insisted that they were the true Lion Guard despite Kion and his team being the Guard first and bearing the mark, and when she believed she could easily defeat Fuli in the racing challenge, despite knowing that cheetahs are naturally faster than lions. Despite this, she means well and takes her duties in the Lion Guard very seriously. She has shown strong camaraderie with her teammates, supporting them and is always grateful for their help in battle. She is loyal to her friends and does not wish to disappoint them; when she lost the race to Fuli, Kasi sadly returned to her team silently apologizing for costing them the second round of the competition. This shows not only her intense desire to win and prove herself, but also her strong desire to support her Friends as well.
