Zira

[TheRoguePrince]

she also makes a great, if scary, leader. She brings the outsiders together and gives them purpose, even if it's evil.

Zira scares me sometimes... o.o

[TheRoguePrince]

she scares me all the time.

[TheRoguePrince]

she scares me all the time.

One thing that doesn't make sense about Zira is that she doesn't show up in the first movie. If she was Scar's mate, then wouldn't she be the queen in the part when Scar was the king? And also, if Nuka could already have been born by then, wouldn't they show him? Also, wouldn't the lionesses on Scar and Zira's side stick up for Scar in some of those parts in the end? It seems like all of the lionesses are on Simba's side.

[TheRoguePrince]

none of the SP new characters show up in TLK, save for Kiara, who is in the last scene.

[Lauren]

she's scares me at certain points! To be honest, Zira scares me more than Scar but she is just as evil as Scar for a villian.

[TheRoguePrince]

yes, but somewhat less successful, she is taken down at her attempt to make her move.

[Gwen]

zira is so cruel and cold-hearted. i don't like her at all

I believe that Zira, Nuka and the other future Outsiders were hunting when Simba arrived, and that's why they weren't there to help Scar.
The Disney people weren't planning to make a sequel when they were making TLK, so of course they couldn't know about Zira and the Outsiders.
