Nala is introduced as the best friend of Simba, and ultimately becomes his wife by the end of "The Lion King". Several years after Simba's uncle Scar has killed Simba's father Mufasa and taken the throne, Nala desperately ventures into the jungle to find help. Upon unexpectedly reuniting with an adult Simba, who she had long been tricked by Scar into presuming dead, Nala encourages him to return to Pride Rock, overthrow his uncle and ultimately become king. As Simba's queen, Nala has a son, Kopa, an adventurous cub in "The Lion King: Six New Adventures", a daughter, Kiara, whose story is explored in "The Lion King: Simba's Pride" and another son named Kion, who serves as the protagonist of "The Lion Guard".
