Outsiders (Caldafox's Fanfics)

The Outsiders were a pride of lions that were loyal to Scar during his reign. Led by Zira, they plotted against Simba and planned to have Kovu, Scar's adopted heir, reign in his place. They later reconciled with Simba's pride, disbanded, and rejoined the pride again. They now live in the Pride Lands.
==History==
During Scar's reign, Zira became immensely loyal to him. He picked her son Kovu as his adopted heir. Zira convinced her relatives and friends to follow Scar's ways also, and they became the Outsiders. When Simba reclaimed the throne, Zira insisted that Kovu was the rightful king, because Scar had chosen him to take his place. She attacked Simba when he told her that Scar was the false king, resulting in her pride's banishment to the Outlands.
The lions suffered from malnourishment in their new home, and settled in the termite mounds. One day, Simba's young daughter Kiara ventured into the Outlands and met Kovu. Although they had a rough meeting, the two became friends after narrowly escaping from some crocodiles. Their parents arrived and argued, then took the cubs home.
When she returned, Zira yelled at Nuka for failing to watch Kovu. She then got an idea, after berating Kovu, that he could get close to Kiara in order for Simba to accept him, then he'd kill him. She sang a lullaby to Kovu about his future status as a killer. 
Months later, the Outsiders seized a waterhole that belonged to Jasiri and her clan. She begged Kion, Kiara's younger brother, for help, and he came to the Outlands to settle the matter. He had a rough meeting with Nuka and Kovu, the former making fun of him for siding with a hyena. They found out that Kion was Simba's son, and Kiara's brother. Nuka took Kion to meet Zira, and she sang a song to him about how lions should rule over everyone. Her followers attacked and captured Kion, and she convinced him that he would lose the Roar of the Elders if he used it on lions. The Lion Guard came to his rescue, and Bunga reminded Kion that Scar lost the Roar because he used it for evil. Kion blasted the Outsiders back to the termite mounds, and Jasiri got her watering hole back.
Years later, Kovu's training was complete, and he had turned into a cold-blooded killer. Vitani and Nuka started a fire during Kiara's first hunt, and Kovu rescued her, as part of Zira's plan. Simba reluctantly let Kovu stay with the pride because he had saved Kiara's life. Zira watched Kovu and Kiara speak atop Pride Rock and gloated to Nuka the success of the plan so far. During his stay, him and Kiara bonded and spent a lot of time together, and they began to develop feelings. Kovu felt conflicted about his role in Zira's plot, and attempted to confess it to Kiara. Simba showed up and took Kovu to a fire-ravaged part of the Pride Lands and told him the true story of Scar. Zira and the Outsiders unexpectedly ambushed Simba, and he blamed Kovu for it. The Outsiders (save Kovu) pursued Simba and eventually forced him to climb a pile of logs to escape. Nuka bounded after him, but ended up falling to his death. Simba struggled back to the Pride Lands.
Disgusted in her younger son, Zira scarred Kovu and blamed him for Nuka's death. She let him run off, then rallied her followers again, telling them this was the perfect time to attack a weak and injured Simba. Kovu went back to Pride Rock and tried to explain himself, but Simba wouldn't listen to him or Kiara, and exiled him from the Pride Lands. Kiara ran after him secretly and the two professed their love. Kovu wanted to elope, but Kiara convinced Kovu that if they ran away, their prides would always be divided.
The Outsiders invaded the Pride Lands, and Zazu told Simba. The two prides met at the gorge and began fighting after Zira insisted (in response to Simba), "I am home." The battle waged for a long time before Kovu and Kiara jumped in between their respective parents. Kovu told Zira he would never let her hurt Kiara or Simba, while Kiara convinced her father that there were no differences between the two prides, and that as lions, "we are one". Zira ordered Vitani to attack, but she refused and joined Simba's pride instead. Zira threatened her with death, and the rest of the Outsiders, disgusted, also joined Simba's pride. Kiara and Zira wrestled and nearly fell into a raging river. Zira refused Kiara's help and fell to her death.
Reconciled, the two prides attended Kovu and Kiara's wedding and roared together over the Pride Lands. Jasiri and Janja, having heard of Zira's attack on the Pride Lands, raced to the Tree of Life to inform Kion and the Lion Guard, unaware that the battle had been resolved. When they returned to the Pride Lands, they found out that Vitani had created her own Lion Guard in their absence. Kiara and Kovu showed up and stopped the fighting, and Kion thanked Jasiri for her help. Kiara and Kovu explained to Kion and the Lion Guard the events that had happened in their absence. After several skirmishes and a competition, Kion gave the position as the Lion Guard's fiercest over to Vitani, and her team now protects the Pride Lands. Kion and his friends moved to the Tree of Life, Kion marrying Rani.
==Physical appearances==
Male Outsider lions sport dark manes and elbow tufts. Most of the Outsiders were scrawny and lanky because of their malnourishment, but have since filled in after joining Simba's pride and having plenty of food. Common fur colors are tan, dark brown, dark gray, light gray, tannish gray, and tannish brown. Many former Outsiders have red eyes, dotted markings on their faces, long snouts, and hooked noses. However, some have "Pride Lander noses" and different eye colors (like Vitani, Shabaha and Tazama). Many of them are scruffy with tufted foreheads, elbows and pointed chins.
==Personalities==
Before their reformation, the Outsiders were vengeful, bloodthirsty, and willing to go along with everything Zira ordered. However, Zira herself stood out as the most hateful, bent on revenge individual, and Vitani was also very fierce and conniving. Kovu was the only one who started to doubt Zira's ideologies before the battle between the two prides. When they realized Zira was wrong, they had no problem switching sides and reconciling with Simba's pride. Since then, many of them have become softer individuals. Vitani's Guard stands out as those very willing to defend their new home and protect others. Many of them share a strong loyalty to each other from their days in the Outlands, and as many are relatives. Some of them are so kind you could have never guessed they were evil; however, many older individuals are less loving and more grumpy and reserved.
