Here you can read the F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions) that Kiara is getting. I decided to make this paragraph to save her from having to awnser the same questions over and over. Please read through the F.A.Q.s before emailing Kiara. Thank you! 

More questions will be added soon. Enjoy!

What do you like to do best?

I really like to look at the stars together with my dad. He says that all the great kings of the past are looking down on us from the stars. I wonder if all the great queens of the stars are up there too. Surely they must be! It would be really unfair if only the kings were allowed up there.  

Daddy and I can lie in the grass for hours and hours, talking and looking at the stars, and telling eachother what we think they look like. We can do that during the day sometimes too, only with clouds, not stars. Also, I really enjoy getting pouncing lessons from my Mum. My Grandmother Sarafina says that Mum is a very great and skilled hunter. I hope I can be as good at hunting as she is when I grow up!

What is your least favourite activity?

Getting lectures about safety and cautiousness from Daddy! He just goes on and on and ON about it! It is soooo annoying! I also hate it when he sends Timon and Pumbaa after me to make sure that I`m safe. I can take care of myself!

If you could bring back a dead member of the pride, who would it be, and why? Question asked by Chris.

What is your favourite food?

Wildebeast! But I`m really fond of antilope too. I`m not picky about what I eat, but wildebeast is my favourite food. Timon offered me bugs once, but I thought they were really gross, and refused to eat them! Timon could`nt understand why, he and Pumbaa loves bugs! I don`t! Yuck!

What is your favorite colour?

My favourite colours are pink, white and orange.

What makes you laugh?

Timon and Pumbaa makes me laugh sometimes, but they`re not always funny. Sometimes they can be really annoying. But I laugh if they tell a funny joke, or pull silly faces. Rafiki makes me laugh often, he seems so crazy and wild, but at the same time I know that he is very wise. You never know if he`s going to say something really stupid or something really smart.

What makes you cry?

I dont cry often, but when I do, it`s either because I have someway hurt myself when playing, or because I feel lonely, or because I think Daddy is way over-protective of me, and does`nt give me the freedom I need.

How did you get to be so pretty? Question asked by Elizabeth.

Well, I`m glad you think I`m pretty! I guess it`s because of my mother, mostly. I inherited most of her good looks, and I got my father`s colours, so I guess that makes a great combination! I`ve got the best from both my parents, I think.

What day were you born on? Was it day or night, and how was the weather?  Question asked by Elizabeth.

I was born in September, so my starsign is Virgo. The date I was born on is 7. September. I was born at night, or very, very early in the morning. The weather was clear and warm, but not too hot. During my presentation, the sun was shining brightly. Of course, I don`t remember any of this, but my parents have told me all about it. The birth itself was not dramatic. It went very smooth and easy, and quite quick too, actually. It started to rain that evening, but during the day, the sun was shining and the weather was lovely.

What is the smartest thing you have ever said?

I`m not just a princess, that`s only half of who I am!

What is it like to have so many fans? Question asked by Elizabeth

I think its great! Its really wonderful that so many people like me. Im very flattered by all the compliments they give me. Dont get me wrong, I am not stuck up or anything, I think its very fun to have so many fans. But my family comes before everything.

Are you willing to do a third movie? Question asked by Hate2BUmun

Yes! I would love to do another movie, but I dont know if the Disney-people do. Time will tell.

Do you consider yourself pretty?

Well, I dont like to brag, but I like to think that I am pretty, so... yes! But Im not stuck up, or vain or anything.

What do you like most about your looks?

My eyes, and the colour of my fur. I`ve got my fathers eyes, and his colours, but my overall appearence is inherited from my mother...

Is there anything you dislike about your appearence?

Yes, I dont like my ears. I think they are too big, and make me look kinda stupid. Mum and dad think its just charming, they say it make me look cute, and that all lions have big ears when they are little. Its not something I think a lot about though, I dont let it bug me. I am conscious about the way I look, I like to look nice and clean, but I dont think appearence matters that much.

Do you feel lonely a lot? Are you friends with any other cubs in the pride that you play with?

Yes, I do feel lonely sometimes, but not a lot. Im used to always having someone around me, my family, or members of the pride. But I dont really have any real friends that I play with often. Thats why I was so happy when I met Kovu, because he was my first true friend.

Do you have a middle name? Question asked by Nikki

No, I dont.

What is your least favourite food to eat? Question asked by Maura

Im not really a picky eater, but I dont really like birds and rodents.

What were your first words? Question asked by Caitlin

My first words were "Mum," and "Hi!"

Do Timon and Pumbaa get on your nerves? Question asked by Maura

Not all the time, only when they follow me around and spy on me. Thats super-annoying, I hate that! But besides from that, I think they are ok.

Do you think that Simba is too overprotective of you?

Yes! But I know that he loves me, and only wants me to be safe. But seriously, he should calm down! I have tried to tell him that many times, but I don`t think he really listens to me...

Do you enjoy the freedom your mother gives you? Question asked by Gregg.

Yes, I really do. My mother is always calm about me going out to play and explore, and she does`nt give me long lectures about safety, and she does`nt send Timon and Pumbaa to spy on me! I think that`s great, Daddy should follow her example. I really love my mother for giving me the freedom I need and deserve.

Did your mother know how you felt when your dad exiled Kovu? Question asked by Gregg.

My mother and the whole pride were there when it happened. Mum did`nt say anything, but I knew that she had sympathy with me. I could see it in her eyes. Although she did`nt say anything to stop my father, she did try to comfort me when Kovu ran off. I don`t think she said anything to Daddy because he was trying to follow in Mufasa`s pawprints, trying to live and rule by his laws. But I do think that he made the wrong deesiscion by exiling Kovu. I know that my mother had grown to like Kovu very well, so she knew how I felt, and she tried to support me. I`m really grateful for that.

Is it true that Scar is your father? Question asked by Elizabeth.

What? NO! Scar is NOT my father! My mother could never have mated with him! My grandmother Sarafina made that mistake, and she made sure that her daughter would not do the same. Scar could not have mated with his own daughter.

Is it true that you are Scar`s daughter, and not Simba`s? Question asked by Hate2BUmun.

No, that is NOT true!

What is your idea of what Nala looked like as a cub? Question asked by Elizabeth.

I think my mother was really cute as a cub. She had lovely green eyes, and her fur had a brighter colour.

Do you love Simba eventhough he sends Timon and Pumbaa to follow you?  Question asked by NalaKiaraandVitani4evr

Yes, I do still love my dad eventhough he is way over-protective. I know that he really loves me, and just wants me to be safe. But I still feel that he should relax and give me more freedom. I think it is very annoying that Timon and Pumbaa are following me around everywhere, but I can sneak away from them easy enough. Still, I dont think it is nescessary for me to have a babysitter. Two babysitters, even! I get really angry, sad and upset sometimes because Daddy sends his friends to follow me, but I do still love him. I know that he is probably upset because he lost his first cub, Kopa, my older brother. He died in an accident when he was a small cub. Simba didnt have very much time to spend with him, so he tries to make up for that now. I guess that is why Dad is so protective of me. He does`nt want me to get hurt because he is so afraid of losing me. 

Do you think your parents were cute as cubs? Question asked by Elizabeth

Yes, I do! But of course, I do not know how they looked like when they were little.

Did you ever tell your father about what happened with the crocodiles? Question asked by Chris.

No, I never told my father about the scary adventures with the crocodiles. Afterall, I live my own life, and there are things he is better off not knowing, dont you agree? I have a very open relationship with my parents, I tell them alot of what is going on in my life, and what Im feeling, but not everything!

Have you heard of the Elephant Graveyard? If so, have you been there, or ever considered going?

Yes, I have heard of the Elephant Graveyard. Rakiki told me about it once. My parents have never told me about it, maybe because they are afraid that I will go there. I have thought about going there sometimes, but I have never done it. I think it sounds exiting, but really creepy too. I know its not dangerous there, because there are no hyenas there anymore. But I have been to the Outlands, and I saw how hurt my father was about it. I dont want my dad to stop trusting me, so I think Im better off not going to the Elephant Graveyard.

Do you think Nala is pretty? Question asked by Elizabeth

Yes, I think my mother is the most beautiful lioness I have ever seen. I like to think I have inherited some of her looks, the other lionesses in the pride tell me I look just like Mum...

Does your Dad lecture you all the time? Question asked by Maura

Well, it depends. My Dad lectures me a lot about safety, always reminding me to be careful and coming home before sunset and stuff. But he doesnt lecture me about other stuff, like staying clean. He worries mostly about my safety.

When I went to the Outlands for the first time, he didnt really lecture me as much as I thought he would. And I was glad of that.

Have your mother ever told you what it was like to be pregnant? Question asked by Caitlin

My mother has never told me anything about her pregnacies, not that I have ever wondered what it was like either. I will ask her sometime, and perhaps she will share what it was like. Either way, I know I will find out for myself someday.

Have your parents ever considered giving you a little sibling? Question asked by Caitlin

I dont think my parents has considered having more cubs. Kopa, my older brother, was heir to the throne, but when he died, my parents had to have another cub, because the Pride Lands would need a new heir to the throne. So I was born, but that was several years after Kopas death. So originally, my parents only meant to have one cub. I think my father didnt want two cubs because he was afraid the youngest would be jealous of his/her older sibling.

How does your dad make you laugh? Question asked by Jessie

My dad can makes me laugh in a number of ways, but usually he does it by telling funny stories from when he was young, pulling silly faces or tickling me. Sometimes we also run around and play together, its great fun!

When you met Kovu, was it love at first sight? Question asked by Hayley.

Well, I don`t know... There was definantly something special about him. I`m not quite sure what, but eventhough he teased me and called me "Daddys little girl," I still liked him and admired him because he told me that he could take care of himself, and he did`nt have any stupid babysitters that followed him everywhere he went. I think that Kovu is very brave, and quite handsome too.

Was there any "unseen love" between you and Kovu in the movie? Question asked by Elizabeth.

Yes, there was. Although my father was very protective of me, even as I grew older, Kovu and I still managed to sneak off and spend a lot of time together. It was wonderful...

How did you feel when Kovu said he did`nt need anybody? Question asked by Elizabeth.

I felt that Kovu was really strong and independent. He was very different from me, and I really admired him, because I thought he really did look after himself, unlike me, who is being supervised all the time. I really wanted to be like him, take care of myself, be on my own. That`s how I felt when Kovu said he did`nt need anybody.

What do you and Kovu get up to in a day? Question asked by Hayley.

Well, an avarage day would be like this: After we wake up, we go out on Pride Rock and sit for a few minutes and watch the sunrise and the beautiful landscape. We are both earlybirds, so we always manage to get up and going before dawn. After that, we might go for a walk together, maybe visit the waterhole. Kovu often gives me hunting-lessons, its a lot of fun! Kovu is such a skilled hunter. We often hunt together and catch our own food. We eat a small meal early in the day, we catch that one ourselves. Kovu does the most hunting, he tries to teach me, Im still learning... After we have eaten, we relax together with my family and the lionesses. Kovu spends a lot of time with Vitani, they talk about their childhood, the loss of their brother and their mother, the future... I spend a lot of time with my parents and some of the lionesses, so I dont get lonely if Kovu takes a walk with Vitani. When evening approaches, we hunt once more, together with the rest of the pride. We eat this big meal together with them, and it also gives me a chance to practice my hunting. After we have eaten, Kovu and I might relax in the cave, or lie in the grass, gazing at the stars. And then we go to bed. That`s a avarage day in the life of Kiara and Kovu. 

Do you think Kovu is a true leader? Question asked by Elizabeth.

Yes, I really do think Kovu is a true leader. In my oppinion, what makes a good and true leader, is that you really care about your subjects, and that you always do what is best for them, that you not always think of yourself before all others. That you are honest, and that you take proper care of your family and your pride. I think Kovu has all those qualities, he is really caring, brave and strong. I know that we will make a magnificent king when that time comes.

How can you be sure Kovu REALLY loves you? Question asked by Elizabeth.

How can I really be sure that he loves me? Well, I may never be truly sure. But I do know that Kovu turned the back on his family and his pride, he abandoned everything he knew, and he took a great risk to be with me. Because he loves me. Kovu has told me that Zira treated him badly his whole life, he has been manipulated and brainwashed. But I know deep down inside my heart that Kovu is NOT like his mother. Kovu is a good lion with a heart of gold. He has told me that I showed him that life can be good, he leads a much better life now because of me. We give eachother strength, and we could never live without eachother. I know that Kovu loves me because of the things he has done, the things he says, the way he looks at me, the way he kisses me. I know that Kovu may have some deep, dark secrets that are too horrible to share. There may always be a part of me that is a bit uncertain of Kovu. What is he hiding? I dont really want to know. I just want to live a happy life together with him, he has lived in darkness his whole life, and I have brought him light. (Those were his words, not mine.) I know that Kovu is not using me to acchieve happiness. Kovu really loves me.

How did you when you and Kovu shared your first kiss? Question asked by Elizabeth.

We shared our very first kiss when we were cubs. Well, it was`nt really a proper kiss, I just gave him a quick lick on the cheek. As adults, we shared our first kiss in a small cave. We were being chased by a pack of angry rhinos, and had to hide. Timon and Pumbaa were there too, and when the rhinos had run by, they squeezed out of the cave, pushing Kovu and myself close together, so close that our muzzles touched, and we kissed. We shared our real first kiss one night under the stars. We lay stargazing together, and Kovu took the initiative this time. It was really romantic.

How did you feel when you and Kovu shared your first kiss? Question asked by Elizabeth

My heart was soaring! It felt wonderful, I was in love!

If you and Kovu had a male cub, would you like him to be more like Kovu or Simba? Question asked by Chris

Hmm.. Im not quite sure. I think I would want him to be a mix of both, I cant pick....!

Did you ever beat Kovu in one of his lessons? Question asked by Sparrow.

No, Ive never managed to beat Kovu in one of his hunting lessons. He has great skill, he is even better than my mother! And thats saying something... He has learned all he knows from Zira, he has been trained extremely well. I dont think I will ever beat him, but at least he helps me to improve my own hunting-skills...

Do you think you will have cubs with Kovu? Question asked by Jeremy

Yes, I think that Kovu and I will have cubs some day. We have not talked about it yet, because we are both so young still. I cant say when we are going to have cubs, but it will be sometime in the future.

What did you think of Kovu when you met him for the first time?

He was very hostile against me when I "bumped" into him, and that scared me. But then he became more friendly. He teased me and bragged about himself. He seemed very confident and independent, and I really admired that. He also helped me escape the crocodiles, so I think he is really brave! He was also very cute as a cub, I got a good first-impression of him, he seemed so nice, brave and kind, but at the same time, insecure, scared and lost. I think its impossible not to like, or even love Kovu!

What does Kovu think of Simba? Question asked by Jeremy.

Kovu does like Simba now, but he didnt used to. Kovu grew up learning that Simba was the enemy, Zira had always told him that Kovu was destined to become king and take over the Pridelands. But Kovu have never really had a chance to make up his own mind about Simba until he got to know me. He became to know Simba through me, and after the prides were united again, Simba and Kovu became friends. Kovu has told me that he likes Simba very much now. Kovu thinks Simba is a good king, despite the fact that he never got a proper training., and that he is kind and wise. It really makes me happy to know that Kovu and my father get along, Kovu knows that Simba has fully accepted him.

Do you think Kovu will be a good father? Question asked by Jeremy

Yes, Im certain Kovu will be a wonderful father. He really is a caring and loving person, I have seen him play with some young cubs in the pride sometimes. He seems a bit uncertain of what to do, and how to behave. The naturalism of the cubs confuse him, he is still adapting to a normal life. Zira never allowed him to play and have fun, so he has to learn how to enjoy himself. I think Kovu enjoys being together with the cubs, but Im sure it will take a while before he feels ready to have cubs of his own, and I fully repsect and understand that.

When did you fall in love with Kovu? Question asked by Maura

I didnt fall in love with him properly until we met again as young adults.

How long have you and Kovu been friends? Question asked by Maura

I think we established the foundation of a friendship when we met for the very first time, as cubs. So we have been friends for many years, eventhough we lost contact for a while.

Is Kovu stronger than you? Question asked by red_orchestra

Yes, Kovu is stronger than me. Male lions are naturally stronger than lionesses. I cant pin him in a fight, like my mother can pin Simba!

How did you feel when you went looking for Kovu? Question asked by Jessie

I felt devastated and desperate when I was trying to find Kovu after my father banished him. I have never felt so alone and sad in my life, it was truly horrible. But when I finally found Kovu again I was filled with happiness.

Do you and Kovu argue a lot? Question asked by Jessie

No, Kovu and I seldom argue, we usually agree about everything. We have never had a proper fight, but a few times we have been a bit snappy to eachother, but it passes quickly.

Do you really have a brother named Kopa? Question asked by Elizabeth.

Yes, I did. But he died long before I was born. He died in an accident as a young cub. I think that explains why Daddy is so over-protective of me, because he really loved Kopa, but he lost him. He really loves me too, and he does`nt want to lose me. My parents don`t really talk about Kopa, I guess they are just trying to put the past behind them, and look forward to a bright future.

Do you ever wish Kopa was alive so that you would have a brother to play with? Question asked by Elizabeth

Yes, I often do. It gets very lonely, being an only-child. I think it would be great if Kopa was alive, so we could play together. Than maybe Daddy would`nt be so over-protective, and I did`nt have to become a queen, because Kopa was born before me, so if he was alive, he would become king. I think about it a lot, but sadly, I cannot change the past.

Do you think of Kopa a lot? Question asked by NalaKiaraandVitani4evr

Yes, I do. I think that it would be very nice to have a brother to play with, and to talk to about all kinds of stuff. Sometimes I think of him so much that I almost start to cry, because it makes me so sad that he is dead, and never will come back.

Do you really have a cub named Kimo? Question asked by Elizabeth

No, I dont. Kovu and I have no cubs yet.

How did you feel when Nuka died after trying to kill Simba? Question asked by Elizabeth

I was`nt there, but Kovu and Vitani have told me about it, they saw it happen. For me personally, it was no loss. I never knew Nuka, I never even met him! But I see that Vitani and Kovu are grieving over the loss of their brother, and that makes me sad. I know that Nuka was trying to kill my father, but he only did that to try and please Zira. It makes me very sad to know that he had to go to such lengths only to please his own mother. It is very tragic. However, Nukas death does not effect me personally.

How did you feel when Zira died? Question asked by Elizabeth

I watched as she fell to her death, and I heard her scream. I think I never will forget that. I tried to help her, I stretched out my paw to try and drag her to safety, but she refused to let me help her. When she fell, I felt a sensation of shock and horror, but at the same time, I felt relieved. I knew that she could no longer torment her own or my family, and I knew that she would find peace. There was really nothing anyone could have done to save Zira. You cannot help someone who does not want to be helped!

Do you often wish you had a brother, or a sister to play with? Question asked by Chris.

Yes, I very often wish that I could have a brother or sister. I did have a brother, you know. Kopa. He died in an accident as a young cub. I often feel very lonely because I dont have anyone to play with. I think that if Kopa was alive, Daddy wouldnt be so over-protective of me, because Kopa would be the heir to the kingdom.

Do you and Vitani get along well now that Zira is gone? Question asked by Chris.

I do get along with Vitani, if not well. We are friends, we sometimes talk, go for walks, or hunt together. Vitani is brilliant at hunting, she has taught me a lot. We are getting to know eachother, I think Vitani is a great lioness. I met her a couple of times when we were cubs, but we didnt really get to know eachother then. Vitani and I are slowly developing a friendship. We are so very different, but we do get along most of the time. Vitani has a lot more contact with Kovu then me, but I like Vitani a lot.

Do you know who Taka is? Question asked by Hate2BUmun

Yes, I do. Taka is the name of my grandfather Scar, his real name. By the way, Taka means dirt, filth, worthless thing. I think that name suits him perfectly.

If you and Kovu had a male cub, would you like him to be more like Kovu or Simba? Question asked by Chris

Hmm.. Im not quite sure. I think I would want him to be a mix of both, I cant pick....!

Were there any cubs in the pride you were due to marry? Question asked by Hate2BUmun.

No, none. Of course there were some male cubs in the pride, but my parents did not want to proceed with the old tradition. They did not like the idea of getting "set up" when they were cubs. Although it worked out splendidly between them, they did not want to decide whom I should marry. They left it to me to make that descision, and I think I made the perfect choice!

Is it true that Vatani`s other name is Nela? And is she your late sister? Question asked by Hate2BUmun.

No, neither is true.

Is it true that you didnt originally fall in love with Kovu? If not, what was the other lion`s name, and what did he look like? Question asked by Hate2BUmun.

Kovu is the only lion I have ever fallen in love with.

Is it true that you are Scar`s daughter, and not Simba`s? Question asked by Hate2BUmun.

No, that is NOT true!

Do you ever see Kopa in the clouds, like Simba saw Mufasa in the clouds? Question by Melanie.

No, I have never seen Kopa in the clouds. But Rafiki has told me that he can talk with Mufasa and Kopa, and Kopa has told Rafiki that he is very proud of me. It makes me very happy to know that Kopa is looking down on me from the stars!

Did you ever meet Vitani when you were cubs? If so, what did you think of her?

Yes, I did meet Vitani once. She looked really cool, but it was obvious that she was a completly different type than me. As a cub, Vitani was a tomboy, Im more of a girly-girl. Vitani is more tough and hot-headed and direct than me. I think those are good qualities though, I got a good impression of her when we met. I dont think she really liked me, though.

Do you think Vitani is pretty? Question asked by Elizabeth

Vitani looked really cool as a cub, her looks were unusual, but I thought she looked nice. When I met her again, when we were both grown up, I could clearly see that time and hardship had put their marks upon Vitanis looks. She is still pretty, in her own way.

Do you hate your Uncle Scar? Question asked by Maura

I dont think its my right to hate Scar because of what he did to my grandfather, I didnt know Scar, I never met him, but I know how he has hurt my father, although I dont hold a grudge against Scar. I think that would be silly of me, as I have no idea what kind of person he really was. I just dont hold grudges, thats just who I am!

How old was your brother when he died? Question asked by Maura

Im not quite sure about his exact age, I do know that he was a young cub, I think he was the same age Simba is in the first movie.

Are you close to your grandmothers, Sarabi and Sarafina? Question asked by Caitlin

Yes, Im close to my grandmothers, especially Sarafina. Sarabi died when I was quite little, although I do remember her well. I love to spend time with Sarafina, listen to her stories and jokes, learn hunting tricks from her. She is a great person, I really love and admire her very much, just like with Sarabi, before she died.

When you have cubs, what do you want to name them? Question asked by Caitlin

Kovu and I havent spoken about having cubs yet, but here are some names (and their meanings) that I like, and will consider naming my own cubs:
