Zira's Family Treeby *DJ88

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Movies & TV

EDITEDITEDITEDITEDIT
Well I changed the older file because im sure someone was going to report it.
replaced the pics of zira vitani and kovu with images i have personally drawn. even though i didnt see a single problem with anything i had before.
theres no nuka image because i havent drawn nuka.

yeah whatever. people are ridiculous.

:::::READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT:::::::

Before you start throwing other theories and "Facts" at me,
Keep in mind that these are fanmade characters/stories. They are NOT OFFICIAL and I dont intend you to believe that they are. Everyone has their own thoughts on Zira's story and whatnot.
This happens to be mine. I'm just writing all this for fun.

And before someone says that scar is the actual father of one or all of Zira's cubs, let me just say that they may have started out being Scar's cub while they were making TLK2, Which is why Kovu and Nuka look soo much like Scar, but at the last second, they changed their minds because of the "incest" situation, which is common among real lions, but for this kids movie, they thought it wasnt okay. So they changed the story, but not the look of the characters.
so in fact, Neither Zira, or any of her cubs, are related to Scar or Simba's Family in any way. According to the Head Scene Checker that worked on the second film. Also the Director Darrel Rooney, and even Michael Eisner. So dont go telling me im wrong on that one. People do get butt-hurt about that.
Im just posting it so in the description so I dont have to go repeating myself over and over again lol.

So here's the little fanstory i have been messing with for a while. Writing it for fun, so enjoy

Kuzimu is a strong, tryant of a King, cruel and strict. Forcefully wed Azola, a strong female, trained to be a warrior, but sorrowful for being forced to live that life. But still remains a strong Queen. In this pride, females are not treated as equal to the males of the pride, and seeing as they are a waring pride, they do have some other males, trained to fight, so that they may take over other prides' lands. And even the females are trained to fight.

Azola becomes pregnant, then gives birth to Zira... Kuzimu is dissapointed and angry with Azola for not giving birth to a son(s)......so Kuzimu cruelly trained Zira harder than any other male or female in the pride to get back at Azola..... who could do nothing but sit there and watch.... and only be motherly to Zira in secret.....which didnt happen very often. So Zira hardly knew what love was...... as a young teen, a male lion, the same age as Zira named Kijani, started to hang out more with Zira.... though they trained together many times as cubs, Zira started feeling different around him.... She laughed more......they started sneaking off together at night. Zira started to fall in love with him......
however Giza, Kijani's older brother (one season apart) wanted Zira as his mate. So Giza challenged Kijani to a fight... and whoever loses would be banished.

Giza, being older and more experienced, defeated his brother... so Kijani was banished from the pride.
A way to weed out the weak, only the strong survive, only the strong can stay. So then Zira is betrothed to Giza......and bears him Nuka some time later.

Zira never had feelings for Giza, and would venture into the fields (the outskirts) of her pride's land... just to be alone and think. While Azola was left there caring for Nuka.

Zira was unsure of Nuka, she cared for him as a mother, but resented him because of his father.

Then one night, She ran into a rouge male lion, ready to fight, the lion called out to her in a kind, yet hardened voice.... it was Kijani, fully grown, just like her. They would meet up as often as they could in secret at night....

Then one day Zira was showing signs of being pregnant again, though she wasnt very far along. Giza was thought to be the father, and he was proud ..... Though Zira was being strange to him about the pregnancy.......... One afternoon, alone in the cave with her mother Azola, the only one she could ever turn to with a problem, Zira revealed to her mother that Kijani was the true father of the cub(s) inside her belly. Giza, standing at the mouth of the cave, stormed in angrily, confronting Zira. Kuzimu walks into the cave, when he is caught p to speed, he just glares at zira, then he and the other males of the pride storm off into the fields......zira knew exactly what was going to happen. So she and Azola followed them. staying quiet. They had finally caught up with them. All the males were standing in a circle, Azola and Zira where hidden in the grass under a tree, a hill away from what was happening...but they could hear everything.

They had found Kijani....and Giza was going to kill him.

They circled each other, Kijani pleading with his brother not to fight him, that he didnt know what was going on.... Giza then told him about Zira, as Kijani looked on with a shocked face....Giza pounced. And in a violent rage, killed his brother.

During the fight Zira had started forward to interfere, but her mother stopped her......Zira and Azola watched on as Kijani was murdered by his older brother....

Azola urged Zira back to the Cave....where Zira sat, heart broken............then angry.
Azola sat at the mouth of the cave, Nuka at her paws...
......Zira knew the males would not be back just yet.......then she started to get an idea.........
She was tired of living this way....tired of the males stronghold over the females...tired of her father.......everyone was.
She held her head up high, fires burned into her eyes.
she walked outside past her mother and looked down at her pride sisters.... they looked up at her, her stone cold emotionless face , turned into an angry smile.

She finally cracked.....................

::to be continued::

xD finally thought of some names for the fathers of Zira's Cubs.

Giza is Swahili for "Dark" because when he was born he was a really dark cub.
And Kijani is Swahili for "Green", because when he was a baby he had super green eyes, which later turned to a more blueish green. And omg, Kijani looks like a mix of Kovu and Vitani's names XD lol

Then Kuzimu means Hell, and Azol means tranquil, I added the "a" at the end of her name to make it seem more feminine and such.

Why are people so rude to you in the comments, that just really pisses me off T^T

~puppy450 Mar 25, 2013

Actually, it's been proven ZiraxScar = Nuka.

I'm kind of tired of repeating myself. So I am just going to paste from something I have already written.;

"At first all of Zira's cubs were going to be fathered by Scar, but then they thought that that would mean incest for Kovu and Kiara. So they changed the story. Zira was no longer his "mate", she turned into a crazy obsessed follower. And her cubs (all of them, even Nuka) were no longer Scar's cubs. Darrel Rooney (The Director of TLK2) Even stated that.

So officially, Scar did not father any of Zira's cubs. Not even Nuka.

Or any cubs at all.

Besides, the idea of Nuka being Scar's kid through Zira? While possible, probably could not happen. That would mean that Zira would have been Scar's mate. And if Kovu and Vitani were born during Scar's time of ruling, why wouldn't they be Scar's as well? I don't think Scar would have allowed Zira to have even been touched by another male lion. Especially since he has already mated with her and had a cub (Nuka).

So Officially? Zira's cubs have no named father(or fathers). It was going to be Scar. But that was changed. Which is why Kovu looks soo much like Scar Color wise. And I guess Nuka as well. But then again, Zira looks almost exactly like Scar with few exceptions, mix her with a dark lion with green eyes and you can get either Nuka or Kovu.

The ideas and rumors that Nuka was Scar's is mostly "fan" speculation if anything.
You can think what you want. But I just go by the more official stuff when it comes to things like that."

~Morodine Jul 23, 2012

it's such a shame people are being dickwads.. I actually like this better than any other plot. I support this shit. Good job.

~dcfan0590 Jun 27, 2012

LOL its funny to see that Zira fooled around w/ brothers, then again she looks like the type who would do that.

~funlakota Jun 15, 2012

I like your theory.

It fits the movies much better than Zira being mates with Scar.

It's sad that so many fans seem to ignore the fact that this is fanfiction too... just like their idea that Nuka and Vitani are Scar's children.

I still don't really understand why so many fans think Nuka and Vitani are Scar's children to begin with and that the movie (some how) confirms this. Here are some of the rebuttals I have for these fans:
*None of Zira's children refer to Scar as 'dad' or 'father' when talking about him, and Disney would definitely have made the point if any of them were.
*Nuka wasn't saying he was Scar's son; he was saying that Kovu wasn't, so it didn't even make sense why their mother favoured Kovu so much. He's also questioning why Kovu's the 'chosen one' instead of him. Neither are related to Scar, so they are in the same position as far as bloodlines go. So why the difference?
*Scar doesn't have to be the father due to appearances. Nuka and Vitani get their looks from their mother; Kovu presumably takes after their father(s).
*Vitani is Kovu's littermate; since he isn't Scar's cub, one can assume that Vitani isn't either.

Anything related to Nuka's, Vitani's, and Kovu's father(s) is fanfiction... because the movie didn't state who the father(s) was/were. You can make Scar the father if you want to, but it's not official.

However the creators themselves said Scar wasn't their father.

That's the closest we have about it.

Personally I've toyed around with the idea that the reason Zira's so obsessed with Scar is because he reminds her of her deceased mate who's the father of her children.

Her mate died while she was expecting Kovu and Vitani. Zira becomes unstable following her mate's death and later latches onto Scar as a replacement when she joins his pride.

Scar doesn't really regard her as anything more than a loyal follower. He doesn't care why Zira is so devoted to him, just that she is. And because Zira was such a loyal follower, he decided to make one of her unborn cubs his heir. Naturally Zira agrees to this.
