An add on to my "Maneslles lions in Zira's Pride" thread. (Iguess) Notice how is the movies (which are more accurate than the books) EVERY lioness/lion with a significant speaking part is clearly made out to be male or female by another character or other sources.
Simba:
Kiara "Daddy let go!"
Nala "Mind your father Kiara"
Scar "I'm only looking out for the well being of my favorite nephew."
Zira "Yes! We've got him!"
Nala:
Simba " She's my best friend!"
Scar: " She's got those assests feminine!"
Simba: I can't marry her! She's my best friend!"
Mufasa:
Scar "Why if it isn't my big brother"
Simba "But dad don't we eat the antelope"
Zazu "Good morning sire!"
Scar:
Zazu "As the king's brother you should've been first in line."
Simba "Hey uncle Scar guess what?"
Shenzi "He's not king but he's still so proper"
Sarabi:
Scar "what will your mother think?"
Simba "MOM! You messing up my mane!"
Nala "And your mother...what'll she think?"
Sarafina:
Nala "Mom, can i go with Simba?"
Rafiki: "You follow old Rafiki, he knows the way!"
Zazu: "That's Mr.Banana beak to you fuzzy!"
Timon "You know her. She knows you but she wants to eat him(Pumbaa) "
Teen Simba "Whatsa matter pops(Timon) had a little bit to much Hakuna Matata?"
Kiara:
Simba "As future queen..."
Kovu "Ok...I have to tell her today."
Zira "You thought you'd get to the daughter and Simba would welcome you with open arms."
Vitani "Where's you pretty daughter Nala?"
Kovu:
Zira "Haven't you met my son? Kovu?"
Simba "Kiara i don't want you talking with him. I want to talk with him."
Nala " Get to know him and see."
Zira:
Vitani "Why don't you tell that to her?"
Kovu "I'm sorry mother!"
Nuka "I'm sorry...mother...I tried..."
Vitani however is only reffered to by her name. They never call her "him","her","she", or "he. when adressing her. The only thing that tips us off is that she has no whiskers and earstripes as an adult. She eDOES however have a bigger tuft of fur on her head than any of the other TLK cubs observed through the series and her voice is also alot more masculine than any of the other cubs too.
