The Graveyard/Mountain Pride

"I spotted a pride of... well, a pride of very ugly lionesses, and they were being lead by Zira."

-Zazu to Kiara, about the Graveyard Pride

The Graveyard Pride is a pride of lionesses that enhabit the Elephant Graveyard in my (Ladybernard's) fanfiction, Lion King 3: Hyena Rules (Page). They have a reputation for being very ugly, and not very smart. The Graveyard Pride will not be included in Upelelezi's Journey.

Note: If you want to use my characters, please ask me first.

Backstory
The pride was formed by unrelated rogue lions and lost lionesses from differant prides, who met up completely by accident. At some point, Ni became king of the easily minipulated lionesses, and lead them into the Elephant Graveyard to start a pride. Ni was king for many, many years. By the time Zira showed, he was old and sick.

Zira's Rule
After Zira was almost drowned in the river, she decided not to go back to the Pridelands at first. She needed time to recover and recouperate. Zira took the long way around the mountains, and by the time she reached the graveyard, her strength had returned, and she felt ready to return to take over the Pridelands. But she needed a pride for help. Luckily, she ran into a small group of lionesses in the graveyard. She followed them back to their den, and ambushed Ni, their old and sick king, murdering him almost on the spot. They didn't resist her, even though the multiple lions and lionesses could have overpowered her, and Zira was queen within the hour. She had promised them a home in the Pridelands if they obeyed her, but only once she had an heir to the throne.
