==Appearances==
===The Lion King===
Sarafina first appears when Sarabi gives Simba a bath, where she gives her daughter Nala a bath. Sarafina allows her daughter to play with Simba after a bath, but Simba's mother says they need Zazu to help protect the cubs from danger. Sarafina is later seen among the other lionesses mourning during Scar giving a message to the Pride Lands that Mufasa and Simba died together in a wildebeest stampede, allowing the hyena clan to inhabit the Pride Lands while Sarafina tells her daughter to be safe from them. Like in the animated version, her further fate is unknown.
===Mufasa: The Lion King===
When Mufasa and his allies arrived in Milele, they were confronted by a hostile pride of lions known as the Outsiders. In order to gather allies for the fight, Sarabi appealed to the pride of lions who lived in Milele, which included Sarafina. Though they were initially hesitant to join the fight, Sarabi reminded them that they would be fighting for their young, and so, they agreed to help.
During the ensuing fight, Sarafina and her fellow lionesses got chased and cornered by the Outsiders. Just in time, an earthquake shook the earth, causing the ground to open up beneath the Outsiders, and they fell through a fissure in the earth to their deaths. Meanwhile, Mufasa defeated the Outsiders' leader, Kiros, and became the new king of Milele. Following Mufasa's ascent to kingship, Sarafina joined his pride, and her daughter, Nala, was betrothed to Mufasa's son, Simba.
