Biography:
Mtazamo used to live a peaceful life in the Pridelands with her brother Hatma and mother Mauti. She happened to be born long before the Outsiders split ways with them, her mother being one that had always followed Scar, being brought into the pride during his takeover and never seeing the other Prideland kings or queens. As a result, they distanced away from Simba and the other royals, confining themselves in the den with Zira. Seeing how the two newborns were strong and resembled Scar, she quickly snatched them away and murdered their mother. Simba nor the others ever took notice due to never really seeing her around.

Zira trained the cubs for a short time before handing them over to another warrior of her's. The warrior was no crueler than Zira, but cared less for them. One time, Mtazamo wandered out the den and got bitten by a cobra. The bite scarred her right eye and left her blind. Hatma also sustained a number of injuries in his life, some quite notable. When the Outsiders were blamed for Kopa's death, the sibling pair, now grown into young adults, had no choice but to go with them.

The Outlands were a rough place. No one stood a bare chance of living there. Hatma looked after Mtazamo with her blindness until he was mauled to death by a rogue hyena. Without protection, Mtazamo almost starved, as she couldn't hunt or even protect herself without any help. She later met Lindo, a hornbill, who stood around with her for a while and led her to another land where she would get better treatment. The Outsiders declared they would hunt her down when they found her missing - they did not appreciate traitors.

The land was supposed to be the Mlima Pride, but due to her low self esteem, Mtazamo found it easier to live as a rogue on the outskirts of the territory. She grew up on the remains of carcasses and small springs of water. The Mlima did eventually find her, but they instead greeted and made her the lookout. She lived a peaceful life there ever since.
