Jothra
Circle of Life > Art Division > Character Design Team > Jothra
Lead Character; Hero
Name: Jothra
DOB: 1.5 years after the Riverside Battle at the end of Simba’s Pride
Pride: Pridelands
Race: Half Izusan, half grey rogue
Family Background:
Found as an infant with deceased mother. Timusa is his rescuer and adopted brother, he is later fully adopted by Kovu
and Kiara and grows up as their son. He is also the Wise One (Rafiki spends most of his time traveling).
Color Scheme
Base Color: Golden-brown (formerly charcoal grey)
Light zones (with toe tips): Light grey (formerly light cream)
Dark zones (over eyes, inner ears): Mahogany
Mane scruff, tail tuft: Light grey (brown with a grey streak in mane when older)
Eye Irises: Blue
Other:
Jothra’s mane scruff is shorter and spikier than cub Simba’s, a grey amidst his drab gold fur. After he talks to Rafiki
in scene 17, he wears a brown hide collar with a polished stone medallion on it. The symbol on it is a sun-whorl.
Towards the end of the story he is seen bearing the Mark of the Destined One in white on the left side of his face.

* Jothra's nose style: Izusans definitely have a Pridelander-style nose, but I'm not sure about his mother and so I'm not
sure about Jothra. Not everything should be a mix of his mother and Jakarta, you do occasionally inherit something
completely from one parent. Maybe he and his mother should both have Outlander noses so as to not make it a big tip off
that he's half Izusan? I think it should be subtly different, though, maybe a darker shade of brown or even red instead of
black?
* * Astrocat's Style: Throughout everything she's drawn for the project, I really like Astrocat's style of art. I know it's not
Disney style, which is obviously what we're shooting for, but maybe it's possible to mix in a few elements of her style? The
ears, eyes, tail tufts (though perhaps not quite so big), and especially her anatomy proportions and fluidity.

- Points B and C fall in a vertical line down from point A
- Points B, D, E and G fall in a diagonal line
- Point G falls in a vertical line below point F
- Point H falls along the same curve as the top of the eye brow
Good potential color schemes and overall looks
