Mario, these are the theories. Please answer all of them all at once and give me a reason for them please (if you want to).

Who is Nala's Father?:

- Mufasa = As the dominant male, he should mate with most of the females.

- Scar = Sarafina X Scar romances are popular, Scar is the only other male.

- A Rogue = Sarafina mated with a random other lion.

- A Lion from a different pride = "It’s a tradition going back generations!”—for the princess from the neighboring pride to marry the prince of the Pridelands! Or something like that.

Zira's Relationship with Scar:

- Mate/Queen = The reining theory. Originally cannon, but written out at the last minute, she is called his queen in several TLK2 books and cut-scenes, and many fans don’t realize it isn’t cannon.

- Follower = Her official designation, according to some members of the production team.

- Stalker = Given her unfaltering adoration for him, and the fact that her “child” is his “heir”? Either she made it up that her kid was Scar’s heir, or she kidnapped whatever kid he declared his heir!

- Sister = She looks a lot like him, and why else would Scar declare a cub that wasn’t his own to be his successor? Because Kovu is his nephew—as close to a son as he had.

- Daughter = She looks a lot like him, she is presumably younger than him (Otherwise she’d be an aging grandma by the end of TLK2), she adores him, and her child was picked as his heir. This doesn’t necessarily preclude her being his queen, either. Ever wonder why Nuka was so messed up?

Who is the father of Zira's children?:

- Scar and Zira Parented all of them = Sure they SAY Kovu wasn’t Scar’s son, but that makes no sense. Non-related male cubs are killed by the dominant male, not made heir. Kovu was Scar’s son in the original script, and I’m sticking to it!

- Scar Parented none of them = Scar was infertile, or not Zira’s mate (see Zira’s relationship to Scar).

- Scar and Zira sired Nuka and Vitani, but not Kovu (I find concept this intresting since most users in this wiki are using Vitani and Kovu as Nuka's younger half-siblings and I thought it was getting old so I thought this might be a good one - not judging anyone)

1. Kovu's Adoption: Nuka was too weak to be the future king and Vitani was a female, so Scar picked a random cub who resembled him. Zira adopted Kovu out of Scar's wishies!

2. Zira's Revenge: Scar had stronger feelings for Nala, so Zira mated with a random rogue lion or a male Outsider. Scar accepted Kovu because he didn't care that Zira mates with some other lion.

- Scar and Nuka sired Nuka, Vitani and Kovu had a different father

1. Zira's Revenge Again: Zira was jealous of Nala and had an affair.

2. Scar's Genetic Weakness: Scar told Zira to mate another male because his own offspring was not strong enough.

3. Nuka's Deformity: In the Zira as Scar’s daughter theory, Nuka could be an inbred mistake, thus she and Scar knew they could no longer mate. Nuka is really weird looking, scrawny, and mite-infested.

Scar was Kovu's father, but Zira was not his mother

1. Scar's Infidelity: Scar snuck around behind Zira’s back and fathered Kovu with another lioness, but lied to avoid her rage and told her he was adopting a random cub. Zira blindly believed it, and adopted Kovu as her own.

2. Zira's Madness: Scar was never romantically involved in Zira, but she incessantly stalked him. When he had a cub with another lioness, Zira killed/exiled the mother and kidnapped her cub (Kovu), and raised Kovu as her own child so she could raise Scar's heir and lead his kingdom.

Scar was Kovu's grandfather:

1. Scar and Zira had two cubs called Vita and Nuka. Vita would later become Vitani's and Kovu's mother, but shortly died after their birth.

2. Scar had Kula with Sarabi, Chumvi with Thamani, Nala and Mheetu with Sarafina, Nuka and Vitani with an unknown lioness (Tama maybe, I don't you decide) and Kovu is Chumvi's and Zira's son.

3. Azra mated with a rogue named Valido and produced Kovu.

4. Scar had a daughter named Zamani with Sarabi, Nuka with Zira, Ariza with Naanda and Mheetu with Sarafina. Mheetu was to be Scar's heir, but Scar didn't like him because Mheetu was good. So he made his grandson, Kovu, who was Mheetu's son, his heir.
