TLG: Idol
So you know how Vitani quotes Makuu word-for-word in the same exact tone as him when she says "I call... for a Mashindano!"? I like to think Vitani had first heard of a Mashindano through watching one a little after joining the Pridelanders, she eventually became a fan of Makuu after he'd won yet another Mashindano like he once did against Pua and Kiburi So here we have a starstruck Vitani meeting her idol after the fight, asking him questions regarding techniques (but not without stuttering and letting a few awkward things slip out lol). Despite her worries, Makuu respects a lion who not only doesn't fear him for once, but utterly admires him (which pairs perfectly with his ego lol) I like to think this is one of the things that inspired her to lead her very own Lion Guard, taking after Makuu's style of leadership and fighting
(also I think Makuu may be one of my favorite TLG characters. He's just so stubborn and dark-humored, he's just portrayed so well lol)
