I've been seeing some other artists do this TLK meme made by MalisTLK and I decided to give it a whirl! (You'll also notice that I've made some tweaks to Amani's design. I've been meaning to redo his ref sheet for a while.)

Uru: King Ahadi's second mate, Uru was born to a rogue lioness who abandoned her near the Pridelands' border when she was just a toddler. After the death of her first cub, Ahadi allows her to be a wetnurse for his son Mufasa after his own mother passed away suddenly when he was just a week old. The two of them gradually began to develop feelings for each other and eventually became mates, with Uru later having a son named Askari and a daughter named Takata.

Ahadi: The long awaited firstborn of King Mohatu and Queen-Consort Furaha, as well as the littermate of Uaminifu and Hazina. Ahadi is very patient, and believes to value his subjects above all else and will go wherever duty leads him. While he loves both of his sons equally he ends up showing a bit of favoritism towards his oldest Mufasa, which just adds to his younger son's jealousy towards his brother. Ahadi lives long enough to see his son Askari, now going by the name "Scar", seize control of the Pridelands and run it into ruin.

Mheetu: Son of Sarafina and Chenza, as well as the littermate of Nala. His real name is actually Mwitu, but his eagerness to join others in playing games ended up earning him the nickname "Mheetu" from his peers. Mwitu ends up being exiled after he and some other male lions were caught plotting to overthrow Scar. He ends up returning home after Scar is overthown and fathers Zuri with a cubhood friend named Adia.

Kopa: The illegitemate son of Nala and Chumvi, as well as the littermate of Kiara. Kopa was conceived when Nala sought comfort from Chumvi after the "death" of her and Simba's daughter, Aisha. Not wanting Simba to know about her infidelity, Nala has Kopa smuggled out of the Pridelands shortly after his birth and is given to his father to raise, who ends up naming him after his deceased brother Makopa. Kopa grows up healthy and happy in the pride his father lives in and makes plenty of friends, one of which is a hyena named Asante. She and Kopa end up developing feelings towards each other when they're older, which their respective loved ones don't exactly approve of.

Afua: Son of Ni and Kula, as well as Kopa's cousin. He is Kopa's closest friend out of all the other cubs in the Msingi Pride and is the only one who knows about his secret friendship with the hyena cub Asante. He later becomes mates with King Malka's daughter, Banou.

Amani: Son of Queen Kiara and Prince-Consort Kovu, as well as the older brother of Upendi and Atile. He really admires his grandfather Simba and aspires to be just like him someday.
