Simba

In The Lion King, Prince Simba, son to King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi of the Pride Lands, is eager to eventually replace his father as King until Mufasa is suddenly murdered by Simba's treacherous uncle, Scar. 

Convinced by Scar that he is responsible for his own father's death, Simba flees to a distant jungle where he ignores his responsibilities as heir apparent in an attempt to forget about his trouble past, while a tyrannical Scar takes over the kingdom in his absence. 

When confronted by his childhood best friend Nala several years later, Simba, advised by a wise mandrill and his father's spirit, finally realizes that he must return home to overthrow his uncle and take his rightful place as King. In Simba's Pride, Simba and Nala have a daughter, Kiara, whose personality is reminiscent of his own.
