I've always thought of Shenzi as a very strong character, she is after all the leader of the 3 hyenas.------
The sound of thunder rolling aggressively over the landscape brought chills to not only the pride, but also to the crowd of menacing hyenas. Though the thunder was not from the heavens. The almightly king, Scar, was enraged.
"She must be my queen," Scar fumed, "without her, the lioness's will show me no end of trouble." he growled, pacing about the cave. "She must be found, and tonight!"
Ed crouched in fear at the menacing sound, seeking refuge behind Shenzi.
"There is far too much land out there for us to search by ourselves, it would be impossible." Shenzi argued.
"No!" Yelled Scar, snarling with rage. "Recruit the others, you must search the pridelands, she will be there."
"This has gone too far Scar, if you don't stop this we will die out there looking for your so called 'queen'." Shenzi argued, glaring at Scar as he paced about restlessly.
"Yeah! After all, it's not our fault you're obsessed, I mean possessed, I mean..." Banzai trailed off from his apparant mistake as Scar loomed over him, staring down at the hyena who had dared insult him.
Fearing for herself and her hyena friends, Shenzi interrupted the encounter with a snarl. "We will find her." Turning to Ed, she signalled to the way out before loping out of the cave, Ed trailing closely behind and leaving Banzai behind.
"This is my kingdom, and you will listen to what I tell you. Now get out!" Yelled Scar, threatening the remaining hyena before he too, loped out of the cave in search of Nala. If all went to plan she would soon be his queen, and then nothing could stop him, not even the pride who persistantly dared trouble him. The use of the hyenas had not gone to plan. The lioness's could not hunt for so many and food rapidly declined. They kept the pride in-check, but they still caused more problems than they solved. Now at last he had found a use for some of them, and before sunrise, he would have a queen.
