Bio:

the Lion, the most feared, ferocious and mightiest beast as well being known as the King of the Beasts but unfortunately however this Lion is an exception to this as ever since when he was a cub he was mostly easily frightened and even to the most smallest of things like rabbits which makes him being scared of everything.

Meanwhile as Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow and Tin Man enter his domain as they're walking down the Yellow Brick Road in the middle of a dark forest as Tin Man warning them especially Dorothy about stuff like Lions, Tigers and Bears (Oh My) but then out of nowhere they are ambushed and confronted by a large lion who let out a mighty roar and leaps in front of the gang where he tries to intimidate and frighten them off presumably demanding for a fight, but Dorothy then walks up to the beast and coming to Toto's defense gives him a good slap on the nose where it makes him cries and overreacts but the Kansas farm girl assures him that it's fine but scolds him for attempting to attacking her and her friends which he apologises for.

He then admits his cowardice to the travellers and in which Dorothy invites him to come along on their journey to the Emerald City to go see The Wizard hoping to give him some courage which the Lion agrees and gladly accepts it and now joining the group to venture off to see the Wizard.


Notes:
design wise it's something a bit subtle the tuft on top of his mane is based off WW Denslow's illustrations albeit somewhat a little loosely
