Name Origins
Zatasha is merely a modification of Natasha. Her mother gave her this name, her father had no part in it. It is unknown why her mother chose a name with no meaning. Most speculative proposals simply say her mother wanted to come up with an original name for her special daughter.

Disease
Zatasha is subjected to a disease called 'gigantism,' and a very severe form of it. Due to this disease (more of a gift, really) she has grown excessively enormous, and her growth continues throughout her life. To fuel her growth Zatasha has a monstrous consumption rate; she eats constantly. And she is fortunate to have been born with great muscle structure so she doesn't turn to fat. More explained in her backstory.

Physical Description
Largely bears resemblance to Zira. She is a gigantic lioness. She is bigger and bulkier than Mufasa (not fat), by a considerable amount. Very muscular in the legs. Her stomach droops down like a regular lioness. You know, you see that skin drooping down from their stomachs? Her coloration is rusty red-brown. Her eyes are dark Halloween-orange. She is not smooth, she has a classic Outlander jaggedness. Her nose is in the classic Outlander style. A unique trait is her light green 'eyeshadow,' instead of the usual white coloration surrounding the eyes. She has very faint dark spots on the lower portion of her legs and dark spots contrasting her creamy underbelly.

Personality (More explained in her Backstory)
An eloquent speaker. Her horrible doings are often undermined because of her strangely charming personality. She has a seductive smile, and attractive eyes. From a front view, she is gorgeous. From a side-view, the perspective shifts. Her beauty deems her fit for a beautiful and great queen. She is spiteful in a much different way than most. She loves revenge, but she loves seeing her victim fall into hopelessly contradictory thoughts about her; 'Is she evil or she great? I can't say I hate her...'
Zatasha is sweet to most children. She was a very good mother to her daughter, Zira's great great great great grandmother.
Zatasha is both a great queen and a heinous villain. Her greatness is so intense it makes you question if what she did was truly morally wrong.

The Backstory
Zatasha is regarded, in all the history of the kings, as the most threatening and great force to ever come to the Pridelands. Zatasha was a cannibal who devoured the king. And many other lions after.
Zatasha was born to a loving mother and a good dad. Although her dad was ultimately ignored by Zatasha, he tried to gain her affection and was a caring father. Her childhood is largely unkonwn.
Zatasha was constantly eating, not because it was necessary to fuel her growth without making her weak, but because she adored food. Feasting was her passion. She ate the meat her proficient huntress mother brought her. Shortly, though, her mother died in an accident with a wildabeest. Zatasha, luckily, was old enough to fend for herself.
Food in the Outlands was depleted. Zatasha saw the Pridelands and its abundant supply of snacks. She was caught by the king and sent back to her lands. Many Outlanders were subjected to this torment, as well. Outlanders were not allowed in the Pridelands. Zatasha, thinking nothing of it, ate a lioness who was suffering from malnutrition. She soon formed a pride of all the Outlanders, male and female, and asserted herself as the leader. So long as you were part of the group, your fellow members would not eat you. Zatasha killed those who did not wish to join, and ate them. The others found this disgusting, but needed to be part of the pride, for Zatasha had promised them a miracle. Soon, hatred for the Pridelands accumulated in the hearts of her followers. Now with a pride of 64 lions and lionesses, Zatasha kept her promise and infiltrated the Pridelands during the rain. Sick of the king, she cornered him. And devoured him herself. The others, filled with high-spirits, attacked the royal lioness pride. And, following in their Queen, and the Prideland's new Queen's, steps, they filled their stomachs with the flesh of their brethren.
The pride accumulated to 123 in time. The Pridelands was regulated excellently by her. She knew not to kill pregnant animals, for their children would make tasty snacks. And their children need to have children to ensure plentiful food. Zatasha was extremely clever and strategic. Under her rule, as nobody could ever have guessed, the lands prospered. And her massive pride feasted every night.
Although her actions were continuously trying to be thwarted by enemies, she died of old age. Nothing could stop her from ruling the kingdom. After her death, the massive pride disbanded and dispersed into the Pridelands. Later, the eaten king's son or bloodline returned to the throne. But Zatasha was determined to let her blood circulate into royalty. The new king's mate was Zatasha's daughter.
