Timon's Mother

Ma is a character from the film The Lion King 1?. She is Timon's mother.

Background
Ma lives in a meerkat colony with Timon and Uncle Max. Her husband is never mentioned, only appearing in deleted scenes. Ma understands Timon's struggles to find his place in the colony, and tries to help him in whatever manner she can. Although the rest of the burrow dislikes Timon, she stands by his side in most of his decisions.

The Lion King 1?
In the colony, Ma tries to encourage Timon in his jobs first as a digger and as a sentry. But when Timon fails as a sentry, he leaves the colony. Ma goes on a journey to find him, but is initially unsuccessful. She and Timon's Uncle Max meet Timon at Pride Rock after many years. At Timon's request, she and the other meerkats dig a tunnel to trap the hyenas, in order to help Simba. At the end of the film, Ma accompanies the rest of the colony to the jungle paradise that Timon and Pumbaa had discovered.

Timon and Pumbaa
In the episode "Mombasa-In-Law", Ma is now morbidly obese and extremely old, and has grown long gray hair, and is wearing a blue dress and some makeup and red lipstick. She goes to see her son Timon and his "wife" Patty (in reality, Pumbaa in disguise), and eventually decides to move in. Pumbaa is then forced to disguise himself as other people, and in the end, he finally reveals to her that he is really Timon's friend from a long time ago (even saying his infamous phrase "They call me... MR. PIG!!!"). But then, Ma says she isn't really Timon's mother, and then reveals herself to be Fred.
