Kiara/Relationships

==Family==
===Simba===
 
 Kiara and her father Simba are shown to have a loving father-daughter relationship. Although she won't admit it, she loves being "Daddy's Little Girl", as Kovu once called her. Some point after that fateful day whereby she met Kovu, Kiara became more accepting of her destiny as the Pride Lands' future Monarch. Simba taught her the importance of family, unity, and destiny in their father-daughter duet song, We are One. She now enjoys learning about the importance of ruling from him and is determined to be a great Monarch when her time comes. She is in a unique position whereupon she is the first female cub to inherit Pride Rock and will assume the throne as the Pride Lands' first queen regnant (at least the first to do so in several generations). While she looks forward to becoming queen, deep down, she will always be "Daddy's little Princess." She loves her father deeply and becomes worried when he is hurt, as seen when she stays by his side the whole day when he is sick.
Years later, Kiara convinces Simba to accept Kovu and the Outsiders, into the Pride Lands, and Simba gives Kiara and Kovu their blessing to marry, and they soon become Simba's successors to Pride Rock.  
===Nala===
 
 The two are shown to have a loving mother-daughter relationship, and Kiara enjoys learning about the importance of hunting and tracking from her. She trusts her daughter completely and, unlike Simba, lets her do things on her own. Nala always worries for her daughter whenever she's in danger, and has faith in her, knowing she can and will be a good future queen.
===Kion===
 
Kiara and her younger brother Kion have a typical, yet loving sibling relationship. Although the two squabble occasionally and don't always see eye to eye, they do hold affection for each other but are prone to sibling rivalry occasionally. Sometimes they'll have a "sibling fight" where they end up tackling each other. Over the course of the series, they appear to be on better terms with each other. In The Trail to Udugu, Kion and Kiara learn to work together to find their mother, Nala.
The two briefly play with each other and work together well in The Underground Adventure. She also sees Kion's duties as Lion Guard leader more important than ever, now that Scar has returned and became annoyed when her brother was called for a minor emergency. 
Kiara becomes concerned for her younger brother when he gets bitten by Ushari during the final battle against Scar in Battle for the Pride Lands. When she learns that Kion can seek help at the Tree of Life, Kiara and her parents wish for his safe return. In Return to the Pride Lands Kiara and Kion talk about Rani and how Kion misses her. Kiara says that maybe Kion can go back to the Tree of Life one day.
===Scar===
Scar is Kiara's great uncle and we know that Kiara is not on Scar's side and it doesn't look like she will ever try and be like him. But she is aware of Scar's return and helps her family in calming down the worried Pride Landers. In The Underground Adventure, when Kiara, Kion, Bunga, Tiifu and Zuri were playing at the Mud Pots at the edge of the Pride Lands, Scar sent a vulture to light the place on fire, in hopes of killing her and shrinking the Royal Family. Later, in Battle for the Pride Lands, Kiara sees Scar and is afraid of her granduncle.
===Kovu===
 
At some point before her brother's birth, Kiara met Kovu and quickly became friends with him, but was separated by their feuding parents, where Kiara was taught to accept her destiny as Queen of the Pride Lands, whilst Kovu was trained to become a cold-blooded killer. In Lions of the Outlands, Kovu became excited when Kion hinted towards a possible reunion with her in the Pride Lands.
In Season 3, Kovu has become Kiara’s mate and consort. After Kion left Pride Rock, Kovu grew up and infiltrated the pride, but unfortunately for Kovu's mother, Zira, they both fell in love and later worked together to unite Simba's Pride and the Outsiders, before becoming mates and future rulers of the Pride Lands.
===Mufasa===
Mufasa is Kiara's grandfather. Although he died before she was born, it's likely that Kiara is aware of the former King and has great respect for him. Kiara sees Mufasa in Return to the Pride Lands and appears to be happy to be seeing him.
===Rani===
 
Rani and Kiara are on good terms. She along with her family come to watch Rani and Kion's wedding. She even cheers for Kion and Rani along with the rest of the Pride Landers.
===Vitani===
 
Vitani used to hate Kiara due to the feud between their prides. However, after Kiara explained how both prides should come together, Vitani was the first to understand her wisdom and switched over to Simba's Pride, which convinced the other Outsiders to do the same. They became sisters-in-law after Kiara married Kovu. The two have since formed a strong friendship. When Kion and his Lion Guard returned from the Tree of Life and fought Vitani and her Lion Guard (due to not knowing that the war between the prides had ended) Kiara, without hesitation and risking serious injury, jumped in front of her brother before he could use the roar of the elders on Vitani and her guard. This shows that both Kiara and Vitani completely accept each other like family and are willing to defend each other without hesitation. Kiara is also shown to sympathize with Vitani and Kovu's sadness over their mother's death. Kiara cheered for Vitani when she became the official new leader of the Lion Guard.
===Bunga===
 
 Kiara is shown to have a good relationship with her younger brother Kion's best friend, Bunga. At first, she was skeptical of the honey badger, who she believed was a terrible choice for Kion's Lion Guard. She seemed to be disgusted by his stink when he used it to save her in Return of the Roar. Though she is often annoyed by his bad odors, she did not mind when Bunga used it to save her from being trampled by gazelles. After being saved by him, she appreciated Bunga much more. In "Bunga and the King", he's allowing Kiara to call him "Uncle Bunga".
===Zira===
 
Zira is Kiara's mother in law because of her marriage to Kovu. When Kiara and Kovu united the Outsiders and the Pride Landers as one, Zira refused to make peace with her and Kovu as revealed in Return to the Pride Lands.

In Can't Wait to be Queen she and Zuri became Kiara's Royal Advisors during her reign as temporary queen. She was incredibly supportive of her friend during this time. Much like Zuri, Tiifu also likes to make sure that Kiara looks her best for important events, such as for example the Royal Buffalo Wallow. She has shown to be incredibly grateful towards Kiara for saving her in Baboons!. Tiifu also accompanies Kiara on her hunting trips, as seen in Return of the Roar, where she is once again very supportive and enthusiastic about working together with her. Tiifu refers to Kiara as her 'leader'.
Tiifu is very overprotective of Kiara, more so than even Zuri, and becomes jealous when others become close to her, as seen in Fuli's New Family.

She has also stuck up for Kiara when others doubt her. Also, like Tiifu, Zuri is always up to help Kiara look her best for every occasion. She has shown to be incredibly grateful towards Kiara for saving her in Baboons!.
She is less enthusiastic about their hunting trips than Kiara, though she attends them seemingly only for the sake of being her best friend. Also, she dislikes hunting and getting dirty.
