Zira (The Lion King: Next Generation)

Zira is a secondary antagonist in the upcoming fanfiction The Lion King: Next Generation. Following her death, Zira turns into a spirit and tries to destroy Kiara’s family again. 
== Background ==
=== Personality ===
Zira is a sly, sneaky, smart lioness with a grudge against the Pride Landers. She, after being killed, becomes a water spirit that torments Vitani and sometimes Kiara. She cannot interact with others normally, so is left the choice of causing nightmares and destroying them from the inside. But that’s Zira’s way. She likes causing some panic and dread. 
=== Physical Appearance ===
Zira is dark yellow, with glaring brown eyes and a light muzzle. Her fur is ragged and her tail tip is brown. Her claws are extracted.
== History ==
In a flashback in Vitani’s chapter, “Darkness of Pasts”, Zira is killed by drowning, but her spirit isn’t dead. She walks out of the river as a water spirit and acknowledges her presence to Vitani. Vitani, surprised her mother is still alive, questions her. Zira tells her that her new goal is to have the family betrayed in a horrific way. She fades away, but lived inside of Vitani’s nightmares. She goes a little mad. 
Zira’s next target was Kiara. But she knew she had to have her betrayed in the worst possible way. Zira told a hyena to betray her son Kidogo to his anger of Kovu and betray him that way. It ended up working and Kidogo killed his brother Giza, wanting to kill his family. When Kiara went to the watering hole to calm down, Zira appeared instead of her reflection and shared a conversation, finishing with the lines, “Don’t worry about your son. He’s coming for you next, Princess.”. 
In the end, Zira’s plot failed when Kidogo was saved by Akili. Angry, Zira decided that she would have to destroy them in a way some other time.
