Fuli (The Lion Guard)

"Huwezi!"

- Fuli's Catchphrase

Fuli is one of the main characters in the 2015 TV film The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar and it's 2016 follow-up series The Lion Guard, both based on the 1994 film The Lion King. She is a cheetah cub who along with her friends Kion, Bunga, Ono and Beshte form The Lion Guard to protect The Pride Lands from threats such as hyenas.

She is voiced by Diamond White.

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
When Bunga and Kion race through the Pride Lands playing Baobab Ball, they encounter Fuli, who flips Bunga off her back for attempting to hitch a ride with her.

Later, after Kion learns that he is to lead the Lion Guard, he appoints Beshte, Fuli, and Ono to positions on the Guard. He gathers the team together and attempts to show them the Roar of the Elders, but all that comes out is a squeak. Just then, Kion's father Simba arrives and reacts in horror to Kion's choice of teammates. He insists that the Guard must be made of lions only and then berates Kion for treating his role as leader like a game.

Not long after this, the team learns that the hyenas are attacking a herd of gazelles. With no time to lose, Kion assembles the Lion Guard, using his paw to gift each of them with a special shoulder marking.

Together, the five friends attack the hyenas. The group then notice that the gazelles have caused a stampede and trapped Kion's sister Kiara. Kion sends out Fuli and Bunga to save his sister to which they do. After Kiara is safely returned to Simba and Nala, Kion blasts the hyenas back to the Outlands with the powerful Roar of the Elders. Simba realizes that his son was wise to have chosen who he chose. He congratulates his son on the victory and accepts this new, brilliant assembling of loyal animals.

The Lion Guard
Set after the film, Fuli continues serving in The Lion Guard alongside Kion, Bunga, Beshte and Ono. In the series, Fuli and the rest of the Guard continue their battles with Janja and his clan, through they also have to deal with other villainous animals such as the new crocodile leader Makuu and a pack of jackals led by Reirei (who in their episode "The Kupatana Celebration", stole food from and tried to attack the other Pride Land animals until they were stopped by the Guard and Simba).
