Asha

Asha is a female ostrich.
As an egg, Asha was abandoned in her nest by her mother due to the close proximity of a jackal. She was found by Timon, who continually had to fend off predators from his catch. Over time, he bonded with Asha's egg, painting a face on it and naming it. When Asha finally hatched, her mother returned, thanked Timon for his help, and departed with her daughter.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Asha's mother lived within or close by the jungle. She took a mate and laid an egg in a nest on the ground. She eventually had to abandon the nest because of a troublesome jackal.
===Reunited with her mother===
Timon and his friend Pumbaa stumbled upon a giant egg, which had rolled away from its nearby nest. Pumbaa told an enamored Timon that he would be the envy of every egg-eater in the jungle, which immediately made Timon nervous. He rolled the egg up to a tree, but was startled by a baboon. Timon lost control of the egg, which rolled back down the hill and right into a spread of egg-shaped rocks.
As Timon was searching for the egg, he ran into a hungry jackal, who attempted to eat him. Timon tricked the jackal into thinking that a nearby rock was an egg, and he threw the rock into the jackal's mouth while he made his escape with the real egg.
Some time later, Pumbaa caught up with Timon, who had painted a face on the egg's surface and named the egg "Asha." Timon admitted that, even after all the trouble he had gone through keeping the egg safe, he did not want to eat it anymore. As he did so, the egg began to hatch. Moments later, a baby ostrich emerged just as the mother ostrich approached. The mother ostrich thanked Timon for taking care of her baby, and she and Asha left.
