Zira (Caldafox's Fanfics)

Zira was a female lion and the leader of the Outsiders. She was the mother of Nuka, Vitani and Kovu, and Scar's most loyal follower.
== Physical appearance ==
Zira was a lean and powerfully built lioness. Her main pelt was brown tinged with tan, while her muzzle, chest, stomach and paws were a paler tan. She had a black hooked nose and glowing red eyes. She had black upper ear rims, and the inside of her ears were also brown. She also had a dark head stripe that started on her middle back and ended over her forehead. The top of her eye rings were brown, while the lower eye rings were pale cream.
== Personality ==
Zira was a bloodthirsty, hostile, vengeful, vicious, obsessive, fanatically loyal to Scar, harsh towards her children, and fiercely courageous. She was so obsessed with avenging Scar that she was willing to kill her own children to do so, and nothing would stop her from avenging him - until her death. She was very harsh and verbally abusive towards her children, putting them down and rejecting Nuka's attempts to gain her attention, until his death. She was a natural leader, however, and convinced her followers to keep fighting against Simba, and dedicated her life to avenging Scar and putting Kovu on Simba's throne. However, her unwillingness to forgive and move on, unlike the other Outsiders, was what caused her to fall to her death.
== Trivia ==
* Zira might have had several sisters, who were the mothers of many Outsider lionesses.
* Her and Scar may have been in a romantic relationship.
* The strange lion, Zira and Shabaha are the only lions observed with a head stripe (until Safiya, Majuto and Miya were born into Simba's pride many years later).
* Her staunch loyalty to Scar while he was alive annoyed many members of the pride.
* She seemed to consider hyenas and/or animals inferior to lions.
