[quote="Saffyminty"]^Hmm previous comment was a little harsh toward Kiara!^ I understand that your opinion differs from mine, which is fine! But I just want to say...
We did not get to see as much fights or serious stuff with Kiara as a cub as we did with Simba. With Simba we saw first the hyenas in the graveyard, then the stampede then him running from the hyenas again just after he saw his father get killed. Okay right!
And all we saw with Kiara is the crocodile scene. And personally I think she did pretty well. She did save Kovu and not just leave him to save herself or anything! And I guess it was such a big deal after she just met Kovu, because she had been shielded for so long she had never got a chance to have that kind of adventure and meet a new lion. It would've been exciting. And maybe she's just a flirt!! It is always interesting to meet a new, nice and pretty good looking guy for the first time. Especially just after you escaped a near death situation
I guess with the other things, everybody has their bad traits so maybe that was just her inner fire showing through. She seems to be the kind of girl that knows what she wants and is very determined. So she probably thought that she didn't need saving from Kovu or to be stalked by Timon and Pumbaa 24 7. And you must admit Simba was quite mean to Kovu. And Kiara just watched her father exile her boyfriend even though he didn't give him a chance to explain what had just happened so of course she would be mad!
And obviously she wanted Kovu to go back. The families had to be made right. I mean wouldn't everybody hate her more if she just took Kovu and ran away with him. All her family was back there. She probably ran away from home to find him again! Not to run away with him and then decide to go back.
She leaped at Zira because Zira went for Simba and Kiara pounced at her to save him.
Oh well I think Kiara is a lovely, exciting and kind lioness . I think she makes a great princess and a wonderful character. Yay!
But that's just my thoughts

I understand the differences in our opinions. To be honest, that's why I said everything I did. That stuff does bother me, but I mostly wanted to hear someone defend her. I love hearing other people's ideas on things I don't like. I like hearing them defend something I despise. And you did a very good job on defending Kiara. My last point wasn't really a point though, that was just me speculating. Don't you think it would have been so much better, emotional, and plot constructive if Kovu had fought of Zira?
Well, there's some brain food for ya.
