Summary: Zira used to live in the PrideLands. She was a member of Scar's clan. When she was younger, Zira came to admire him and believe that he deserved to be the king of PrideRock. Zira had a cub with Scar named Nuka, a few years after she adopted 2 cubs named Kovu and Vitani.

After Scar became the king of PrideRock, he chose Zira's adopted son, Kovu, to be his heir and protégé since Scar believed Nuka was too weak and unfit for the role. Zira and her clan fully supported Scar as the true king. When Simba killed Scar and took the throne, he rejected Kovu's status as the next in line to the throne. Zira and her clan didn't accept that and Simba's refused to accept Scar's heir due to Scar being a tyrant, Zira attacked Simba, but he defeated her easily and exiled her, her family, and her clan to the Outlands. While in exile, Zira raised her cubs and trained her clan to resent the PrideLanders and blame Simba for Scar's death. There, Zira trained Kovu to become a powerful assasin. The plan was that Kovu would avenge Scar and take his place as the king of PrideRock by killing Simba.

At first, Kovu resolved to enact Zira's plans but when he fell in love with Simba's daughter Kiara, he had a change of heart and betrayed Zira. As a result Zira launched an attack on Simba's clan. However, Kovu and Kiara intervened and convinced the Outsiders to join Simba's clan. Zira made one last attempt on Simba's life but failed and Zira fell into a raging river, leaving her stranded in a harsh desert.

Full story: On the day of Kiara's first hunt, Zira tasked Nuka and Vitani with setting fire to Kiara's hunting grounds. They did so, and Kiara got trapped amidst the flames. Zira ordered Kovu to enact her plan, and he obediently charged into the flames, found Kiara and rescued her. Afterward, Simba reluctantly accepted Kovu into his clan.

That night, Zira and Nuka watched as Kovu and Kiara talked on PrideRock. Nuka fretted that Kovu had let Kiara go, but Zira pointed out that Kovu had tricked Simba. She added that as he got closer to Kiara, he would get closer to Simba and that he could attack once he got Simba alone.

One night, Vitani spied on Kovu, only to witness him let Simba go. She reported this to Zira, who roared angrily and demanded to know if Vitani was sure of what she had seen. Upon hearing Vitani's confirmation, Zira lamented that Kovu could not betray them.

The next day, while Simba and Kovu were walking alone on the edge of the PrideLands, the Outsiders ambushed them. Zira thanked Kovu for doing as they had always planned, and Simba turned on Kovu, despite Kovu's protests that he had not been involved in this. Zira then ordered an attack on Simba, and the Outsiders lunged forward to fight. Though Kovu tried to protect Simba, Vitani knocked him out.

After a brief fight, Simba fell into a gorge and began running away, with the Outsiders at his heels. Eventually, he found and began to scale a pile of logs. In Kovu's stead, Nuka climbed up the log pile to attack Simba but slipped and got crushed by falling logs. Zira rushed to Nuka's aid and frantically pulled several logs off him, only to find him near death, Nuka apologized for his failure to kill Simba and said that he had tried, but Zira shushed him and cradled his head in her paw as he took his final breath.

After Nuka died, Zira prayed to Scar's spirit, begging him to watch over her. She then turned on Kovu and lashed out at him. Zira berated Kovu telling him he had betrayed the Outsiders and Scar's legacy. Kovu fled after saying he wanted nothing to do with Scar.

Though her clan wanted to chase after Kovu, She halted them and reminded her clan that, since Simba was injured and weak, it was the perfect time for them to attack. She said that they would take his entire kingdom by force, which made the Outsiders to roar in approval.

The Outsiders invaded the PrideLands, only to be stopped by Simba's clan near the gorge. Zira told Simba that his rule is over and she had dreamed of nothing else for years. Simba gave Zira one last chance to leave, but she declared that she this was her home, then ordered her clan to attack. The two clans then lunged into battle.

The Outsiders swarmed Simba, but then Kovu and Kiara jumped in-between them and called for peace. Zira accused Kovu of being weak and ordered him to step aside, but he declared that he would not let her hurt Kiara or Simba. Kiara convinced Simba to stand down and accept the Outsiders as part of their clan.

Despite Simba's accord to stop the war, Zira ordered Vitani to attack. Vitani, then refused and went over to stand beside Kovu. Unaffected by her Vitani's plea for peace, Zira said that if Vitani would not fight, then she would die as well. This disgusted the Outsiders and motivated them to also join Simba's side. Simba appealed to Zira to put the past behind her, but she refused and lunged at Simba but missed and was knocked off the ledge.

Zira hung precariously over the raging river below. Zira tried to climb up but she lost her grip and fell.

Scar: The former king and her former mate, Zira was fiercely loyal to Scar. Scar was a tyrant in the eyes of the other PrideLanders but to her he was the rightful king and she still was loyal to him even after his death. Scar had orange fur and a black mane with green eyes and a scar over his left eye, hence his name.

Nuka: The biological son of Zira and Scar and Zira's firstborn. She neglected him often and never gave him any love or affection. She found out the hard way how much she truly loved him only after he died. He was her son and only when it was too late did she truly realize how much she cared about him.

Word definitions: Heat or Rut = a mating cycle in which the individual affected feels the desire to mate. Heat is for females, and rut is for males. Grooming = lions and animals lick their fur to groom it. Lion = is a male lion. Lioness = is a female lion.

Mating usually is painful for lionesses and only done for reproduction and not pleasure due to the keratin spikes that only male lions usually have on their penis, the spikes claw the inner walls and causes pain which is why males hold the females to stop them from attacking or running off. Zira will turn her back to them, crouch low to the ground and angle her hips towards them as an invitation for mating. Zira will express surprise if a male shows interest in her since she is past her prime and is a more elder lioness. Zira has never felt sexual pleasure before and gets addicted to pleasure quickly.
