Description
It was early in the morning, Vitani was about to do her usual thing of stubbornly paying no mind to her injuries from the day before as she would head over to assemble her Guard for patrol. A rather reckless habit that worried Tiifu every day.
Today, however, Vitani could feel that not happening. She tried to rise from her resting quarters, but was quickly held down by her aching, bruised muscles and scratches that were slowly fighting off infection. Vitani's injuries slowing her down allowed for her to observe her surroundings and put in some thought...
When she looked at Tiifu, she couldn't help but think about how grateful she was that the native Pridelander took time out of her day to help her. The special care and attention made Vitani feel genuinely loved for once. However, it also made her wish she hadn't acted so stubborn yesterday. She was going to make up for that. She was going to rest for once.
Imara, along with the rest of the Guard, spent several minutes throughout the morning awaiting Vitani's arrival. It was uncharacteristic for her to show up so late. Becoming rather worried, Imara took matters into her own paws by leaving the main section of the lair and heading to the healing section that Tiifu had recently taken up.
Lo and behold, she found a weary Vitani glancing up at her, looking as if she were waiting for Imara to come this whole time. Vitani, with slight hesitation, remembering that Imara too had grown up in an environment where weakness was deemed unacceptable, told the Strongest that she couldn't help but feel that she should take the day off, and that Imara should lead without her.
To Vitani's surprise, Imara smiled understandingly, proud of the young leader for knowing when to take it easy for once. She promptly marched back to notify the Guard that she would be in charge that day, allowing Vitani to sleep in beside her love.

Sort of a fluffy way of revealing that I headcanon that Imara is Vitani's second-in-command. Kion's was canonically revealed to be Fuli and it seems heavily implied that Scar's Strongest was his, sooo
But yeah the reason I chose Imara out of the four was due to years of developing headcanons for the Guard's dynamic behind the scenes, and I came to conclude that Shabaha would be too reckless and informal to lead, Tazama would get easily flustered from shyness and a lack of confidence, and, while Kasi makes a close second as an easygoing and outspoken motivator, she has a bit of a cocky side. I just feel that Imara has a calm levelheadedness about her, has kind of a "responsible oldest sibling" vibe about her (also that's not necessarily to say that anyone in the Guard is like actually siblings, I just kinda see Vitani's Guard as a found family dynamic and they all possess traits of each "family" role)
