====Cubhood====

For the presentation ceremony, Rafiki takes Simba and introduces him as crown prince, leaving Mwasah still in her mother's paws, later in the ceremony both Mufasa takes Simba and Sarabi takes Maliha, presenting them both this time.
Maliha soon grows into a strong lively and playful cub. As soon as her brother jumps over Mufasa to wake him up, Maliha awakes still a little sleepy, curling up in her mother's paws again to go back to sleep. Later that day a time after Simba and Nala leave to apparently go to the Water Whole, after her bath, Sarabi, accompanied by Sarafina, takes her close to Adisa, who was with her son, Hasani. They soon start playing together, when Sarabi says that Simba and Nala went to Water Whole, Maliha looks upset that her brother had not invited her to follow him, however minutes later she and Hasani decide to go out on their own to explore the Pride Lands, promising to be safe. On their way to explore the Pride Lands, Hasani and Maliha seem to have fun, playing and teasin eachother as they walk, however, their happiness does not seem to last as long, Maliha and Hasani soon find a lion that they had never seen in pride, despite starting well, after Maliha introduces herself as the daughter of Mufasa and Sarabi, the rogue seems to change completely, he soon begins to pursue both cubs who, upon realizing the lion's intentions, begin a frantic effort to escape and, after a while escaping, just then, Sarabi, aside Adisa, Sarafina and the other lioness arrives and defend both of them, Sarabi as the queen argues with the lion and, for his aggressive evasion she and the other lionesses attack him, seeking to kick him out from the Pride Lands, since he provided a threat to not only the princess but the others.

Down there, Maliha is surprised by the great dust raised by the wildebeests, they bet a race throught the Gorge, as they reach a certain area, Maliha soon notices something of a silhouette in the middle-fog, as she aproaches, she recognize it as an lying body, when she realizes that the body was her father, she, just like her brother moments ago tries to wake him up. Realizing that Mufasa is neither moving nor breathing, she starts to cry and sobbing over and over, Hasani tries to calm her down, but is not succeeded and, for a while they stay close to the body, and when he hears footsteps approaching, Hasani pulls Maliha into a hole in the next wall, hiding, as the voices seem to pass, all she hear is them mentioning her uncle's name. Soon as they all get lost and leave the local, Maliha and Hasani rush back to PrideRock, only to arrive sometime later of Scar's pronouncement on Mufasa and Simba's death, both Sarabi and the other lionesses were very worried since neither of them had seen Maliha nor Hasani almost all day, and as soon as she sees Maliha approaching, Sarabi rushes to her daughter and embrance her, Maliha tries to talk to her mother about her father, but her sobbing cry does not allowed her to form even a word.

Scar rethought, since Hasani had protection from the other lionesses in his favor...He looks at Maliha seriously, saying that she should learn to stay in her place and to talk only when called.
Later that same day, when Simba returns to the Pride Lands, Maliha was with the other lionesses when Nala, who had been banned by Scar, returns, announcing that Simba, Mufasa's heir, was back and would challenge Scar to the throne, her and the other lionesses follow Nala to Pride Rock, after seeing that her mother was injured because of Scar's strike to her, she runs to help her mother to get up. After Scar's confession, Maliha are one of the lionesses to lunge forward into battle against the hyenas. Finally, after Scar and the hyenas are defeated, She watches Simba take the Pride Lands back and roar alongside the other lionesses, accepting him as her new king. She would later nuzzles him after his roar as the new king, the two greet each other excitedly, Maliha still couldn't believe her long-lost brother was finally home.

Many animals were happy to be back in their former home, including the lionesses with the return of their rightful heir. After Simba and Nala took over as the new king and queen of the PrideLands, the lionesses of their pride seemed to be excited for yet another celebration, thanks to the help of their brother and mother, Maliha had announced her marriage to Hasani to the lionesses, and a few days later the celebration day had come; the lionesses grouped in a circle on a plain close to PrideRock, Hasani and his mother, Adisa were already there and, when the event started, Maliha appeared accompanied by both Sarabi and Nala, despite being the same, she seemed to be more beautiful that day, when the couple stood side by side, the old mandril approached taking a fruit that served as yellow paint, he drew on their snouts and foreheads some marks of the Pride Lands wedding tradition. 
Rafiki being the provider of the wedding, quoted the vows to the couple in front of him and, after all the recitation, he finally raised his hand with his staff, waving it and saying "Kuolewa", making the couple official while some leaves seemed to dance around them.

===The Lion King II: Simba's Pride===
====Adulthood====
At first, when Simba and many of the lionesses from the Pride come to defend Kiara from Zira, Maliha stands beside her brother. As Zira argues with Simba, Maliha interrupts her by telling her that she should remember why she was exiled, showing a higher position of respect. after Zira growls at her, she responds back, growling. 
During the battle between the Pridelanders and the Outsiders, she is briefly seen fighting alongside her mate. As the battle ends and the lioness group to greets Simba and Nala, Kiara and Kovu for their victory, she does the same.
==Physical appearance==
Maliha appears as a slim golden-brown lioness with orange eyes. As a cub, she had a light pink nose, but as an adult, her nose is darker, a feature that has marked her since childhood was her tuft of hair on her head that she kept even into adulthood. Both the inner part of the ears and the small tuft of hair on the tail are dark orange, unlike cub Simba & Sarabi, Maliha's ear rim is slightly larger out. She was shown to have aged, keeping herself well fed as she grew up, maintaining an appearance similar to that of her mother.
==Personality and traits==
Maliha , just like her brother is rambunctious and cheecky as a cub and constantly seeks new adventures to go through, leading her to an harm's way and getting into serious confusion like finding a bad rogue lion and put herself and Hasani, her friend in danger. Despite that, Maliha has shown to have a good and caring heart, often being very affectionate with both family and friends, watching over them despite everything. After the accident in the gorge, she grieving heavily both to her lost father and brother.
Due to spending much more time playing with male cubs than the females one from the pride, Maliha earned something of a tomboy personality, a trait she keeps until now. Unlike many of the lionesses of her generation, she wouldn't mind getting dirty or wet to do something. During her young adulthood and as a full-grown, Maliha shows a strong and fearless leadership role, maturity and responsability just like her father's once, caring both for her home and for her family being able to alone, fight against Scar for them. Also her vocabulary seem to change (as she now says "Scar" instead of "Uncle Scar").
