Kiara is a character of the 2019 photorealistic CGI remake of The Lion King. She is the daughter of Simba and Nala and she is the Princess of the Pride Lands.
She is based on the character of the same name from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride.
Background[]
Personality[]
Kiara enjoys listening to stories. She is quite empathetic and tries to understand why others act the way they do. Initially, she was afraid of thunderstorms, though she eventually conquered this fear and became more self-confident.
Physical appearance[]
As an infant, Kiara was small, with spotted golden-brown fur. She had blue eyes, a narrow brown nose, and small dark-rimmed ears. Upon growing into a cub, she became larger and more compact, though she remained fairly thin and weakly built.
Appearances[]
The Lion King (2019)[]
Similar to the original film, Kiara appears at the end of the film, being introduced to the animals of Pride Lands sometime after Scar's defeat. Unlike the original, she lets out a slight roar.
Mufasa: The Lion King[]
When Nala became heavily pregnant with her and Simba's second cub, she departed for the sacred lion birthing grounds. Before leaving to join her, Simba charged Timon and Pumbaa with babysitting Kiara in his absence. Though he forbid them from telling her any stories, they lied to her that they had defeated Scar in the battle for Pride Rock.
Just then, a storm moved in overhead, and Kiara hid in fear. Before long, Rafiki entered the cave and assured her that her father had been scared of thunder as a cub but had eventually mastered his fear and roared from the top of the cave. She expressed doubt that she could ever be that brave, and so, Rafiki decided to tell her the story of her grandfather, Mufasa.
After Rafiki's story, Kiara gathered her courage and roared from the top of the cave. As she did so, the storm cleared, and an image of Mufasa appeared in the clouds overhead. With the cloud cover gone, Kiara spotted her parents in the distance and ran out to meet them. Upon reuniting with her, they introduced her to her newborn brother, whom she vowed to protect forever. She then told him the story of Mufasa.
