Milia

Milia is a female zebra. She is the mother of Punda.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Milia lived in the Pride Lands. She became good friends with a wildebeest named Nyumbu. At some point in her life, she took on a mate and had a son.
===Migration to the south===
One day, while Punda was playing with his friends, Milia appeared on a nearby ridge alongside Nyumbu. Upon seeing the two, Punda told Simba and Nala that he had to go. Though Simba urged him to ask Milia for more playtime, Punda insisted that he had to leave and promised to meet up with his friends the following day.
Shortly after Punda left, Simba surmised that Milia did not like him and Nala very much because they would one day grow up to hunt zebras. Nala remarked that she did not want to grow up, but Simba claimed that lions eating zebras was part of the Circle of Life.
The next day, when Punda did not meet up with his friends, Simba and Nala wondered if Milia had forbidden him to see them. Later, they learned that the zebras were simply migrating south to feed on greener grass.
==Physical appearance==
Milia is a "proud and graceful" zebra, with a black and white coat. She has black eyes.
==Personality and traits==
Milia is firm and unrelenting, as she did not let Punda return to his friends due to their herd's migration. Even so, she is open-minded enough to befriend other species, as evidenced by her close friendship with Nyumbu the wildebeest. Simba surmised that Milia does not like him and Nala since they will one day grow up to hunt zebras.
