Please don't scream, "Vitani is Kopa's mate, not that lioness!"
I actually don't like the Vitani and Kopa pairing at all. First, I think that them being in love and not being able to see each other is completely like the Kovu and Kiara thing. Second, I thought that it was more of a cubhood crush, not actual love. And third, in my theory, Vitani is Nala's daughter, so they'd be half-siblings.
This lioness is named Mpole, meaning "gentle" in Swahili. Also, in my theory, Kopa ran away because he was tricked by Zira into thinking his pride was dead. He returned as an adolescent with Mpole. Soon after, they became mates.
