### Backstory

As Nita grew, she became known for her trustworthy and honest nature, as well as her determination to keep promises she makes. Soon, Nita developed a deep-rooted fear of crocodiles, and was shown to be terrified if confronted by one. She formed close relationships with her family members, particularly her granduncle and grandaunt, and her maternal grandparents. She also became close to her paternal relatives, despite being aware of their opinion of her mother.

Eventually, Nita met and became best friends with Makini, who is training to become a royal mjuzi, and Anga, an eagle that later joined the Lion Guard.

### Legends of The Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands

Nita is now a teenager. She is regularly seen outside Pride Rock when the Lion Guard and their friends return from patrol. Later, she and Mahuluti are attacked by Kiburi's Float at Lake Kiziwa, and Mhina asks if Nita is afraid of crocodiles, which Kion confirms. At Lake Kiziwa, Kion orders for Fuli and Beshte to keep her safe, and with her tail wrapped around her shoulders, Fuli guides Nita to Beshte. After Kiburi's Float is roared away, Nita shudders, and Kion nuzzles her cheek, saying that she's safe now. She points out that she doesn't like crocodiles, but Kion mentions that they're gone now. Placing her tail on Nita's shoulders, Mahuluti takes her back to Pride Rock. When the Lion Guard returns to Pride Rock to inform the Royal Family of Scar's return, Nita is present outside the den. After Kiara leads the Lion Guard up to the peak of Pride Rock, Nita is noted to be outside the den. She is still present when the kingdom delegations are escorted to Pride Rock, and she heads inside the den with them. Shortly after the war for the Pride Lands commences, Nita is gathered outside Pride Rock with many other animals. Glancing at Merah, she asks to stay with her, which she happily accepts, brushing her tail along her flank.

Kata scoffs that the Lion Guard can handle the battle on their own, not wanting to look after Nita and Marigold and remarking that the treaty has brought ruin to the Pride Lands. Infuriated by her words, Simba banishes her and Maya from Pride Rock for a half-moon, stating that while has tolerated their behavior around his grandnieces and adopted grandnephew, he cannot accept their refusal to help in a dire crisis. Simba then apologizes to them, and Nita and Masozi nod in understanding. Outside Atka and Merah's Cave, Kora and Vitani bid farewell to Nita and Marigold; Kora rubs Nita's cheek, promising they'll be back once Scar is defeated. She says okay, and Vitani urges her to stay inside the cave, with Nita promising that they will. Dara tells Vitani that they'll look after her children, and she leads Nita and Marigold inside.
