Despite being friends with Kion, she is somewhat resentful of the lions for lording over the Pride Lands, was doubtful about Kion's Roar of the Elders, and dislikes water. Despite these negative traits, she was willing to join the Lion Guard with her friends to protect the Circle of Life when Janja and his clan invaded the Pride Lands.
History
The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
When Bunga and Kion race through the Pride Lands playing Baobab Ball, they encounter Fuli, who flips Bunga off her back for attempting to hitch a ride with her.
Later, after Kion learns that he is to lead the Lion Guard, he appoints Beshte, Fuli, and Ono to positions on the Guard. He gathers the team together and attempts to show them the Roar of the Elders, but all that comes out is a squeak. Just then, Kion's father Simba shows up and reacts in shock to Kion's decision of teammates. He insists that the Guard must be made of lions only and reprimands Kion for treating his role as leader like a game.
Not long after this, the team learns that the hyenas are attacking a herd of gazelles. With no time to lose, Kion assembles the Lion Guard, using his paw to gift each of them with a special shoulder marking.
Together, the five friends attack the hyenas. The group then notice that the gazelles have caused a stampede and trapped Kion's sister Kiara. Kion sends out Fuli and Bunga to save his sister to which they do. After Kiara is safely returned to Simba and Nala, Kion blasts the hyenas back to the Outlands with the powerful Roar of the Elders. Simba realizes that his son was judicious to have chosen who he decided. He congratulates his son on the victory and accepts this new, brilliant assembling of loyal animals.
The Lion Guard
Set after the film, Fuli continues serving in The Lion Guard.
In Season 1-2, Fuli and the rest of the Guard continue their battles with Janja and his clan, through they also have to deal with other villainous animals such as the new crocodile leader Makuu (until he reformed), a pack of jackals led by Reirei, a leopard named Makucha and most recently, the spirit of Kion's great-uncle Scar (who was the leader of the previous Lion Guard).
In Season 3, which takes place a few years after Season 2, an adolescent Fuli and the rest of the Lion Guard battle and defeat Scar and his army. After Kion is scarred in battle by Scar's snake ally Ushari and Ono starts to lose his eyesight, the Lion Guard (along with new member Anga, who replaces Ono as Keenest of Sight) and Makini depart the Pride Lands to seek the Tree of Life in order to heal Kion and Ono. In this series, Fuli and the Lion Guard come up against their old enemy Makucha and his All in One.
