Zira
Nicknames: Queen Zira
Age: early 30s
Gender: Female
Species: Lioness
Homeland: Outlands
Allegiance or Pride: Outlander
GENERAL INFO
Personality: Zira is the cunning, manipulative, tyrannical leader of the feared Outlanders. Having developed a deep, fanatical admiration bordering on romantic affection for Scar when he was alive, Zira has sought to adhere to his ideals during his reign as king of the Pridelands in leading her own pride, even going so far as to raise her son solely to become the Scar of the future. She holds a deep, venomous hatred for the Pridelanders, especially Simba, often launching unprovoked into vitriolic tirades about his "murder" of Scar and her will to revenge. The only lions she holds any affections for are her own children, though she'll threaten to kill even them if they don't obey her. With the arrival of these strange creatures from the sky, will Zira find herself with an even greater threat...or perhaps a potential ally?
Likes: (At least 5) Lions (the superior species!), Scar, being in control, vengeance, her children
Dislikes: (At least 5) Any animal that's not a lion, Simba, being questioned/disobeyed, Simba's children, threats to her reign over the Outlanders, feeling powerless/depressed (though she'd never admit it)

Father: Thirdan: (deceased)
Mother: Zielli: (deceased)
Siblings: Saada (sister, Pridelander), Nemsi (brother, Outlander)

History: Zira was born to Thirdan and Zielli sometime during the late years of Ahadi's reign, and had a relatively ordinary childhood. She and her twin sister were very close, and often shunned their baby brother Nemsi though he idolized his big sisters, particularly Zira who was the bossier of the two and their unspoken leader. Zira was a teen when Mufasa became king, though she secretly thought his brother, Scar, would have been a better choice as leader. She spent the years of Mufasa's reign hunting for the pride, though she often found herself desiring to break free from the routine of the average lioness and exact her own ideals elsewhere. This chance came much later when Mufasa was killed in a freak accident, making Scar king in his stead. Zira became Scar's most loyal follower, praising his very name and fanatically worshiping him. Zira was deeply enamored with Scar, and while he might not have returned her feelings, he appreciated her loyalty and trusted her enough to teach her about the Roar of the Elders. The day Simba returned and Scar met his demise, both at the claws of Simba and the jaws of his hyena followers, Zira was completely crushed. Scar had not only been her king, but her first and only (unrequited) love. When Scar's followers were banished from the Pridelands, Zira naturally took up the helm as their queen, and currently rules her pride with cunning and an iron claw.
