Kiara/Relationships

The relationships of Kiara from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride.

Simba
Unlike Kion, Kiara initially did not have a good relationship with her father, due to Simba being overprotective of her; to the point where their relationship became strained, this strained relationship even continue all the way to her adulthood.

Nala
Although Kiara isn't show interacting with her much as Simba in the film, it is safe to assume that Kiara has a good relationship with her mother. Unlike Simba, Nala is never overprotective of her daughter.

In The Lion Guard, Kiara and Nala have a close bond, with Nala teaching her and her friends Tiifu and Zuri how to track gazelles in preparation for Kiara's first hunt.

Kion
Although they are brother and sister, and they do love each other, Kiara does not always get along with her younger brother Kion, due to her arrogant and immature traits, as well as the fact that she does not always take her duties as the Princess and future Queen of the Pride Lands very seriously.

Kovu
Kiara and Kovu first met when they were cubs and helped each other escape crocodiles and briefly played with each other before they were separated by their parents. They reunite as young adults and eventually fall in love with each other and after Kovu's exile, Kiara goes against Simba's orders to stay at Pride Rock to find him. After the battle of the Pridelanders and Outsiders, Kovu along with the other Outsiders are allowed back into the pride and he marries Kiara.

Tiifu and Zuri
Kiara has a good relationship with her two best friends, though they seem to be obsessive of their friendship with her (mainly Tiifu), as in "Fuli's New Family", Tiifu was shown to act jealous when Fuli sided up with Kiara during their gazelle tracking.

In "Baboons!", Tiifu and Zuri take Kiara to a meadow to make her look nice for the Buffalo Wallow. During this, a rainstorm happend and caused a flood and trapped the trio. Though Tiifu and Zuri wished to wait for the Lion Guard to save them, Kiara urged them to help build a bridge. Kiara comes to Tiifu and Zuri's rescue when they fall into the floodwaters, which they are grateful for. The trio with the help of The Lion Guard, were able to create a bridge and get to safety and get to the wallow. Despite looking messy, Kiara went to the wallow, despite apologies from Tiifu and Zuri for not making her look nice. When Buffaloes' leader compliments Kiara's messy appearance, she gives credit to her friends for always insisting she looks the best.

Timon and Pumbaa
Kiara dislikes the fact that Timon and Pumbaa are assigned by Simba to keep an eye on her during her early cubhood (on the day she first met Kovu) and adolescence (on her first hunt). Despite this, she along with Kovu helped them chase birds from the bugs they wanted to eat.
