I`ve already drawn Babu and Mtoto, so I added their relatives instead.
Also MUCH more info about the first king compared to others.. xD still not really detailed enough for me tho u^u (UPD also I`ve recently changed first king`s design, so this one here is outdated already)

Hekima ("wisdom"), the First King of The Pridelands - the founder of the Pridelands kingdom, the first to offer peace and law to animals of the savannah, the first keeper of the Circle of Life.
Originally born as a usual lion in an ordinary pride, Hekima followed the rules of nature and had almost nothing to worry about. Not until three young males once came to overthrow his father and killed all of Hekima`s younger siblings. Hekima was too adult to be killed but too young to live on his own, so for some time he had to live under the leadership of his father`s killers whom he hated so much. Later, when he was old enough he was exiled by them and had to leave his family and pride and never come back as all male lions of his age. Hekima was furious. All the laws he had to accept as a rule for life never seemed right for him. Thus, he travelled far away, growing up stronger, getting more power as long as more battle scars. His life of the exile changed that one day when he met the very unusual lioness in deep jungle. She was trying to drink from a small rivulet but was attacked by leopards who wanted her out of their territory. The lioness had pure white eye pupils and they were so bright white that they looked like a pair of diamonds. As Hekima then understood, the lioness was totally blind. He urged to help the lioness but as soon as he got into the fight with leopards the lioness told Hekima to watch out and then did something Hekima never saw in his life before. As soon as Hekima stepped aside, the lioness took a deep breath and breathed out at the leopards, making them frozen solid. As the lion later learned, the lioness (whose name was Uchavi) was born blind and never ever saw the world around her. She said that she didn`t remember her family and the only family she had was the spirits who guided her through her life. She had the gift of the Breath of Spirits and she used it to defend herself from harm. Hekima decided to stay with the lioness so she was feeling more safe. She laughed at first about the fact that Hekima would probably be safer of them two then he was before, but accepted the idea as she was really lonely. Together with Uchavi Hekima later found the future Pridelands - then it was just the barren burned lands with no life at all. Hekima hesitated if the spirits were actually right, leading him and Uchavi here, but Uchavi told that these lands had a very good future. The pair stayed there, trying to help those animals who needed help after the Great Fire and some time later the future Pridelands indeed started to become rich-green territory, flourishing and full of different animals and this place soon became their true home and later, the Pridelands kingdom. Hekima and Uchavi had two children. Older Malaika was to become the heir and younger Askari later became the first leader of the Lion Guard. Uchavi passed her magical gift to her younger son, but he had to discover his own powers himself and he did once he has visited the far Tree of Life. The gift of his mother (which originally was gifted to her at the Tree of Life) later became the Roar of the Elders.
That is basically the story of the first king and queen of the Pridelands and it mostly is considered as a legend and is passed from one generation to another.

Boga - daughter of Mega and Sabini, sister to Babu. Pretty pumpkin o3o

Jangwa ("desert"), Mohatu`s mate - descendant of the small almost unknown pride, living in the desert near the Pridelands. Since this place is known as no-lion-land, it is very rare to meet any lion there at all, but Jangwa`s family learned how to survive in the tough conditions of the desert.

Sabini - Babu and Boga`s mom. Mega`s mate.

Kichaka ("bush") - mother of Sarabi, Diku, Dwala and Naanda; mate to Joto and daughter of the Bravest of the Lion Guard of Mohatu`s reign.

Chuma ("metal") - father of Mtoto, the Bravest of Scar`s Lion Guard, mate to Diku, grandfather of Tiifu, son of the Fastest of the Lion Guard of Ahadi`s reign.
