Zira

Lion King 2

Lion king 2: Simba's Pride
Zira is the villain of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. She is the leader of the Outsiders, and the mother of Kovu, Nuka, and Vitani. She is also Scar's mate although she is not seen in the first movie. She was exiled to the out lands by, Simba after she sided with Scar. She then becomes leader of the exiled pride.

Zira Facts:

  • The notch in Zira's ear occasionally changes sides during the film.
  • Interestingly, in a brief scene during "My Lullaby," Zira is seen with blue eyes as opposed to red.
  • Although fans are certain Zira was Scars mate, director Darrell Rooney confirmed in a statement on Facebook that Zira's relationship with Scar was purposely obscured in the middle of production to make her "just a follower" due to the incestuous undertones Kovu's romance with Kiara would have had. Rooney later made another statement on Facebook about Kovu, describing him as an orphan, in which case, Zira would only be his adopted mother.
  • According to her concepts, Zira's eyes were once to be green like her son's.
  • Originally, Zira was going to be accompanied by the hyenas, who served as her minions.
  • Bette Midler and Helen Mirren were considered for the role but, it was given to Suzanne Pleshette.

All about Zira

From her first appearance to her final fall, Zira proves herself to be inseparable from her own evil intentions. If she has ever had a doubt about her own ruthless nature, it's never shown, as she is so determined to bring Simba down that she's willing to sacrifice her own children to the cause. Such a violent attitude manifests itself in the way Zira goes about her daily life, with her claws constantly unsheathed, and how she treats her children, teaching them to hate and kill as she knows so well how to do. Even when her entire pride abandons her, Zira has such faith in herself that she makes a final desperate stand against Simba.
