Simba

There was a time Simba thought all he wanted was to be king, but eventually he realized what he really wanted was a “pride” of his own, even if the members of that pride look very different than him. Simba loves to play and explore and is very energetic. He can be a bit of a troublemaker, but it’s never out of malice. He’s just full of rambunctious, playful energy! And at the times his games go too far, he’s quick to make ammends.

Simba loves to play with his other plushie pals, and he’s fiercely loyal to them. He’s especially close to Bambi, who he considers to be like a brother. Bambi tends to be more soft-spoken and skittish, but Simba is one of the few who’s able to make him feel at ease enough to join in the game. He’s close friends with Nala (who he also has a bit of a crush on!) and the two of them frequently enjoy exploring together. And Rascal is probably the playmate who comes closest to matching his energy! They have a bit of a rivalry and occasionally get on each other’s nerves (the way siblings often do), but they always make up and are the first to stand up for each other.

Note: I actually have two Simba plushies. They look very similar, but have some differences. My original one has all four legs that are “floppy” and not held in any particular position, while my second one has the back legs in the sitting position. So if you ever notice those differences in the photos, that’s why. In spite of having two different plushies, I treat them like the same “individual.” The secondary one is what I use as a “travel plushie.” That way, if anything were to happen to it while I’m away, the original would still be safe at home. So long story short: two plushies, same “character,” if you will.
