Imara

Imara is a character featured in The Lion Guard, voiced by Sophie Reynold. She is a former member of the Outsiders and currently the strongest in the Lion Guard under Vitani.

Background
Imara was originally born a Pridelander sometime during the reign of Scar. During his reign Imara, along with multiple other lionesses, were very loyal to Scar and supported his rule. For this reason she along with all the other lions who supported Scar were exiled to the Outlands, by his nephew Simba, after he defeated Scar in the battle for Pride Rock. As a member of the Outsiders, Imara was originally an enemy of Simba’s pride and the Pridelands, taking part in the plans of the Outsiders’ leader Zira to overthrow and assassinate Simba. However, during the events The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, she along with the other Outsiders (sans Zira who refused and Nuka who had already died) were persuaded by Kovu and Kiara to stop the fight and switch over to Simba’s side. Sometime after the reunion of the two prides, Kovu’s sister and the former second-in-command of the Outsiders Vitani, recruited Imara along with fellow former Outsiders Kasi, Tazama, and Shabaha, to become members of her Lion Guard (since Kion’s Lion Guard was away at the Tree of Life at the time). Due to her incredible strength, Imara was chosen as the strongest member of Vitani’s Lion Guard.
