Alrighty, here goes a long post. I'll shorten it.
Zira is already a little crazy to begin with. She 'mates' with Scar during Scar's early adult years. She gives birth to Nuka, his son. Scar likes Nuka, but isn't mad about him like a normal father. Then Vitani is born. He likes her somewhat as well. Then Scar discovers Zira is pregnant with another lion's cub (Kovu), and being as possessive and territorial as he is, becomes furiously angry. His bottled up contempt for his son, who upon growing up Scar see's is pathetic in his eyes (Scar wanted a son as what he wishes himself to be; he saw weakness in Nuka), is let out and Zira grows horribly angry. She rips Scar above his eye, giving him his Scar. He leaves for the Pridelands. Outlanders are not allowed in Pridelands, but Scar, being the King's brother, is an exception. After his death, Zira feels horrible about treating Scar so badly. She was obsessed with him to begin with. She feels as though it is her fault deep down, but blames Simba. She follows Scar's hatred of Nuka and doesn't give much attention to Vitani. In her mind, Kovu is 'the chosen one' because she wanted the cub to be beloved by Scar; Kovu was what initiated the disputes in the first place. She sees Kovu is a powerful lion, with a thick man, a loud roar, and a drive for power. Just like Scar always pictured himself. So by training Kovu to become what Scar wished he could be, Zira is convinced she is pleasing Scar.
Phew! I can go into greater detail if need be.
