==History==
===Backstory===
Merah was born in the Pride Lands, and at some point, became mates with Regandi; she was later exiled for being one of Scar's supporters, along with the other Outsiders, by Simba. In the Outlands, she and Regandi had Kovu and Vitani together, raising them to be strong warriors, but could do nothing to prevent their children from following the heartless pawsteps of Zira, as they would face certain death for defying her. She and her fellow lions spent time preparing to take down Simba, though when the final battle dawned, Kovu and Kiara convinced both sides that they were one. Regandi, his mate, family, and the other Outsiders changed sides, joining Simba's Pride.

===Legends of the Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands===
Merah is one of the Pride Landers that is gathered at Pride Rock when Simba announces Scar's return. When Scar commences his war on the Pride Lands, Merah is one of the many animals gathered outside of Pride Rock, and Regandi offers their cave as a shelter for those unable to participate in the battle. Kohana asks if she can stay behind, and softening, Merah says that she can. In the crowd, Adhiri scoffs, believing Regandi and Merah can take care of her kin by themselves, which causes Simba to temporarily exile her and Mieke for a half-moon. Nguruma wishes to avoid fighting, and Kiara tells him that Regandi and Merah will look after him. Simba and Nala stand in front of their son, and Simba urges him to listen to the two lions. As Fababa bids farewell to Ujana, Bakari, Enene, and Sharifu, he states that they need to behave for Regandi and Merah.
After Ayana is rescued from Reth's Pride, she longs to see her grandparents, and Fuli returns her to Pride Rock. Regandi and Merah appear, embracing their granddaughter warmly and nuzzling her. Merah soothes her, saying that she's home now, and she thanks Fuli for rescuing Ayana. Fuli prepares to depart to help the Lion Guard, and Merah states that Ayana will be safe with them. Once Ayana is out of earshot, Fuli explains that Reth's Pride dangled her over Rocky Plateau, and Merah once again thanks her for saving Ayana. Fuli runs up to Kion at Chakula Plains, informing him that Ayana is safe with her grandparents.
