**Nala** is a major character in the feature film, *Dreamcoast* and in its cartoon series, *Dreamcoast Adventures.* She's a Dreamcoastian residing in Dreamcoast and a friend that Mark makes on his adventure.

## Background

After the production of *the Lion King,* Nala was transported to Dreamcoast along with her husband and the other characters. Kiara and Kovu arrived in the kingdom, four years later. When Nala and Simba were reunited with their daughter and son-in-law, they moved into Pride Rock and rule the Pride Lands. Nala was a close friend to the Dream queen, Sammie and her daughter, Annabelle. When Dreamcoast was in danger of being overtaken by a power-seeking dragon named Tank, Nala and Simba helped Davis prepare for a battle against him.

During the battle, Tank was killed when he tried one more attempt to smite his brother and gain ultimate power. Although, peace returned to Dreamcoast after that, Simba discovered that Mufasa was gone and the other Disney characters believed that he was presumably killed by Tank when he was visiting the kingdom. Nala comforted her distraught husband and told him that she believed that Mufasa is still alive. Afterwards, Nala continued to reside in Pride Rock and live peacefully with her family and friends.

## Appearances

### *Dreamcoast*

Nala is present at the arrival of Mark, Jalen and Jordan, along with Simba, Kiara, Kovu and the other characters. She warmly welcomes the Jones brothers as they become official members of royalty. Once sunrise came, Nala and her family returned to Pride Rock. Meanwhile, the Jones brothers were escorted to different parts of the kingdom with different groups of characters. During the boys' absence, a mysterious lightning storm revived Tank and with his powers recharged, he cursed the kingdom, plaguing it with monsters. While most of the characters remained inside their homes, Nala, Simba and the gang avoided the monsters and began to search for help.

Three days later, Mark and the gang returns to the kingdom and discovers that it has been cursed. When the gang discovered that Sammie and Davis were imprisoned inside an enchanted painting, Mark had the city evacuated to safety in an abandoned village. Mark then learns that the Dream cyborgs are somewhere in the kingdom and the latter figures that they may be the key to freeing the monarchs, restoring Disney and defeating Tank. Simba and his family offer to tag along with Mark on his adventure through the kingdom.

During their walk through the kingdom, Mark and the gang encounters Tank and learns that he has sent an assassin to kill Princess Annabelle. Before vanishing into the shadows, Tank gives the gang, a hard riddle for them to solve. It was hard for them, but thanks to Belle and the Beast, they managed to solve the riddle and learn that Annabelle is under the fountain at Cinderella's chateau. The gang enter the secret room under the fountain and discover the Princesses. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Tank's evil pet lizard, Scales drops down from the ceiling and attacks the gang.

While Simba and Nala were assigned to fight alongside Mark, the Beast and Flynn Rider tried to free the princesses from a sticky web. Scales spots the Princes and slowly walks over to devour them. Seeing the danger, Mark and Tinker Bell jumps in front of the gang and are devoured by Scales. However, unbeknownst to the gang, Scales was a robot and with a little bit of flying dust and upper body strength, Scales' powercore was ripped out and the lizard monster slowly died. The Princesses are freed and taken back to the village. In the village, Mark discovered a mechanical bomb that was from a shop in Tomorrowland. Before departing Disney, the gang stopped by the clothing shop for a wardrobe change.

Afterwards, they boarded a sky tram to Tomorrowland and discovered that the mechanical bomb was from a shop known as the Time Zone to which Jimmy is part-owner. Inside the shop, Mark learned from the gang that the leading scientist, Darwin used to be best friends with Tank until a heated argument ended their friendship, permanently.

Even with the cyborgs' powerful weapons, they couldn't defeat DJ. Tinker Bell's closest fairy friend, Vidia uses her fast-flying abilities to place DJ under a sleeping spell. DJ falls asleep and is taken back to the abandoned village. The Dream Cyborgs join the gang on the rest of their journey. They journey on to Darwin's observatory to meet up with the scientist, himself. However, they encounter another danger, Darwin's corrupted assistant, Cujo.

Despite being trapped in slime, Darwin tells the gang how to restore Cujo to his calmer nature. Nala and Simba help with finding the correct brain to put inside Cujo. Cujo is returns to his calmer nature after the correct brain is placed inside his head. Darwin joins the gang on the rest of their journey. Confused about Tank's motives, they head to the secret library that's located under the Beast's Castle. Down there, Mark realizes Tank's plan to destroy the kingdom, all of the characters and turn whatever is left into a kingdom of his own. Before the gang could depart from the library to find Mickey Mouse and Friends, another earthquake was initiated, causing Mark to fall to his apparent death.

The gang return to the village and informs everybody about Mark's apparent demise. Worried about his brother, Jordan tells everybody, Mark's tragic death. Simba and Nala feel sympathy for Mark, learning how he went through a tragic and cruel experience in life. Determined to help his friends, Lucky activates a security camera, allowing the citizens to watch as Mark battles Tank in his dragon form. Aside from a few struggles, Mark defeats Tank and the curse is lifted in the process. As for Mark, he is personally escorted back to the kingdom by Hurley and Mufasa.
