One of the reasons I created Dara was to give Vitani someone that would be mature enough to understand what Zira had done, and provide both care and comfort to Vitani.

Kovu couldn't do that. He wasn't old enough to understand what had happened.

Vitani became Kovu's primary caregiver after both Atka and Dara's deaths.
