## Biography

### Early life

Tatiana was born to the Duke Meerkat. She was the princess of a colony of meerkats.

### Kidnapped by Banzai

One day, the Duke Meerkat departed the colony, and Fred was left in charge of the colony's security. Meanwhile, Timon, who was on sentry duty, daydreamed about Tatiana. While Timon stood at his post, Fred showed up and convinced Timon that, with the Duke Meerkat gone for the day, he had an opportunity to speak with Tatiana. At first, Timon did not approve of Fred's suggestion, as he feared that he would get banished if he left his post, but Fred told him that he would not get banished if he did not get caught. After thinking the idea over, Timon agreed to Fred's plan and abandoned his post to speak with Tatiana.

However, when Timon entered the colony, Shenzi, Banzai, and Kamari the hyenas showed up. While Timon was preparing for his mating with Tatiana, Banzai invaded the colony and kidnapped the princess. After the attack, Fred held up Tatiana's flower in front of the colony, which made the meerkats believe that she was dead, and brought up the possibility of an infiltration through the back gate. This made the meerkats realize that Timon was strangely absent.

When the guards discovered that Timon had abandoned his post, Timon attempted to escape them. However, he ran into the Duke Meerkat, who had heard about Tatiana's purported death. Enraged over the unnecessary loss, he put Timon on trial, then banished him from the colony.

After his banishment, Timon reunited with Pumbaa and reestablished his friendship with him. The two soon discovered that Tatiana was being held captive by Banzai. Timon reasoned that if he rescued the princess, he would be accepted back into his colony, marry Tatiana, and live a glamorous life. He added that Pumbaa would be accepted into the colony as well, which made the warthog agree to help him save the princess, succeeding in doing so.

### Romance with Timon

While Tatiana was residing in the jungle, she was shocked when Timon, who had travelled after the battle against Scar, arrived to visit. Tatiana then offered him her hand in marriage, beginning to develop romantic feelings for each other. One evening, Tatiana and Timon established their unification of meerkat colonies and kissed.
