Tawi is a very carefree, but sensitive lion. He is the keenest of sight in the guard and often finds himself wondering if he's actually important to the guard. He's quite a humorous character but can have his serious moments. In the movie, he looks up to Almasi and admires his strength and confidence. I'd prefer for him to have an Essex accent, but I can settle for other things too. His voice should usually be relaxed, unless in a tense moment.
