There's a place where the crazy moon, Makes the monkeys sing and the baboons swoon. And the sultry scent of the lotus bloom, Will carry you away.[/center]

Where the hippos swing from the jungle vines, And the rhinos rumba in a conga line. And the pink flamingos are intertwined, As the stars come out to play.
In Upendi. Where the passion fruit grow sweet. And it's so divine, That you lose your mind, As it sweeps you off your feet.

apperance;; He has a tall, slim build,with a slight bend in his spine. His hair is white-blonde and surfer style, it rarely stays flat and his eyes are a golden yellow. His skin is a deep brown. He wears knee length beige shorts and a light grey short sleeved shirt. He is always carrying his staff with the fruits tied to it.
personality;; Rafiki was always kind and considerate of others feelings. When his father was worried, he was the first to ask what the problem was. He is also wise. Being a shaman for the prides needs someone like this, someone who has seen lots. Rafiki has been learning the rituals since he was young, he can communicate with the Great Kings, and presents all of the heirs to the throne. He is frequently asked for answers which he always tries to give.
He is not always serious. He can be silly at times, like when he is telling Simba that his father is not gone, but is inside him. He's not afraid to use his staff as a weapon and is skilled in a form of martial arts. Rafiki usually talks about himself in third person, which can seem a little odd.
family;; Uncle of Nefu, Cousin of Karibu, Jelani and Biba.
history;; When Rafiki was young, he would always watch his father speak with the Great Kings and perform other shaman rituals. He was born on the outskirts of the Pride Lands, where he still lives know in a baobab tree. He was always curious and considerate of others. With no other siblings, he was forced to find fun on his own or go off with his cousins Karibu, Jelani and Biba. They would explore the land together, and fool around like all young animals. When he wasn't playing, he was being taught how to be a shaman by his father and grand-father, both had been previous shaman for the Pride Lands and had attended all births, marriages and deaths at Pride Rock.
Once he grew older, he became the new shaman. There was a ceremony in which he received his staff and a blessing from his elders. Rafiki became close friends with the Monarch, Ahadi and was soon presenting his son Mufasa to the animals of Africa. The animals roared and stomped there feet and hooves. Rafiki stood with Mufasa held in his arms. He helped Mufasa become a fantastic leader you cared for his Kingdom's problems. As time passed, Rafiki gained trust from many of the lions and lionesses. Simba's birth was just as exciting as Mufasa's. Rafiki placed the sap from the fruit on his head and coated it with some dust. He proceeded to perform the same ritual he had with Mufasa. Listening to the thundering animals. Simba lead an interesting path of life. When he was assumed dead, Rafiki couldn't help but shed some tears. The King had died, it was taking a toll on the whole Pride Lands, until the day that Rafiki caught Simba's scent in the wind. Could it be possible? He followed the scent and convinced Simba to return. Kiara was the next in line to be presented.
In Upendi. Without a worry or a care. It just takes two, To make it true, Your heart will lead you there.
You better watch your step 'cause the path is steep, Better hold your breath 'cause the water's deep, It's a long way down over Lover's Leap, But falling's half the fun.
You better watch your step 'cause the path is steep, Better hold your breath 'cause the water's deep, It's a long way down over Lover's Leap, But falling's half the fun.

Rafiki had been taken from his home the day of Kiara and Kovu's wedding. He could remember it like yesterday. He had been walking up the stretch of rock leading to the top of Pride Rock, when some dark clouds rolled in blocking out the sun. Rafiki didn't know what was going on. He tried to get to shelter, but his vision was blurred. Stumbling, his vision went black and he lost all sense of feeling.
When he woke up, he was in a strange new land. The sun was nowhere to be seen and everything looked different. Rafiki was no longer in Africa. Wandering around, he found nothing familiar, but he never gave in to the pressure of pure evil that radiated from this horrible place. Giving in would go against everything he believed in, and no good shaman went back on their word. Looking around, he let out a sigh and continued on, staff in hand.
