Unwilling to hurt Kovu, Simba tells Zira to take Kovu and leave saying that they're finished before picking up Kiara, but Zira tells him they've barely begun and gives Kiara an evil look before picking up Kovu and leaves. Simba reminds Zira of the penalty for returning to The Pride Lands but Zira says that Kovu does not however on saying that if Simba wants his pound of flesh, Zira pushes Kovu to him. Zira reveals to Simba that Kovu was hand chosen by Simba's uncle Scar to follow in his paw prints and become king and that Kovu was the last born before Simba exiled Scar's followers to the Outlands. Zira first appears in the film watching Kovu talking to Kiara before jumping to her son's defence when Kiara's father Simba appears. Her eyes are sharp and blood-red, framed by dark upper eye rims and light lower eye rims. Like most Outsiders, she sports the distinctive Outsider nose, which curls downward on either end. Her tail tuft is a bit scruffy and matches the browns of her ears, and her eyebrows are especially thick and dark. Her muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all lighter in color, though her ears are marked with darker fur and brown stripes on the insides. According to Darrell Rooney, she was designed to have a certain angularity about her that made her appear all the more dangerous and deadly.Īs far as coloring goes, Zira is paler in color, being a dark tan with a brown dorsal stripe running down her face and stopping in-between her eyes. Her claws and teeth are especially long, and a notch in her left ear marks the event of a past conflict. Despite her thin frame, small shoulders, and sunken face, she is able to hold her own against Simba, able to knock the larger lion off his paws with a single swipe. In scenes from My Lullaby, her eyes change from red to blue in short scenes.Īs skinny as she is sleek, Zira appears to be lanky and slight.

She has a notch in one ear, that constantly switches ears. Her nose is a bit twisted, and reddish-black. Zira is a dark cream color, with a black rim around her ears.

She is somewhat of a sociopath, threatening to kill Vitani, her own daughter! She is far too obsessed with Scar. Zira is ruthless, opportunistic, and a bit of a bully, trying to kill Simba while he is alone, but backing off as soon as his pride shows up.
