Nala/Relationships

The relationships of Kiara from The Lion King franchise.

Sarafina
Nala appears to have a close relationship with her mother, Sarafina. She was seen resting in her mother's paws at the start of the film, and willingly allowed her mother to bathe her, whilst Simba struggled to escape Sarabi's grasp.

Kiara
Nala and her daughter, Kiara appeared to have an affectionate relationship, as Nala wasn't as protective of her daughter as Simba was, and trusted her to make her own choices. She was encouraging towards her daughter on the onset of her first hunt, and showed great relief when she learned of Kiara's safety following the wildfire.

She approved of Kovu and Kiara's relationship, and roared alongside her daughter after Kovu and Kiara's marriage ceremony.

Kion
Nala appeared to have a close relationship with her son Kion, unlike Simba, Nala accepted that it was time for Kion to lead the Lion Guard, and showed immense pride in him when he defeated Janja. She often gives Kion the maternal support and affection he needs.

Simba
When the two were born, their parents agreed that they would marry each other upon reaching adulthood. As they grew, Simba and Nala became best friends and frequently played together. After being informed of their betrothal by Zazu, the two agreed that marrying wouldn't be right, and after escaping Zazu, Simba took Nala to the Elephant Graveyard, which he had heard about from his uncle Scar. Luckily Mufasa saved them. Nala was heartbroken when Scar claimed that Simba died with Mufasa in the wildebeest stampede. As young adults, Nala was the lioness who brought Simba back to Pride Rock to put an end to Scar's tyranny. After Scar's defeat, Nala stood beside Simba as his mate and Queen.
