The Lion King Fanon Wiki

Eshe was a female lion. She was the mate of Obasi, the mother of Scar, and the adoptive mother of Mufasa.

When Scar (then-named Taka) saved the life of a stray named Mufasa, Eshe reluctantly brought him before Obasi. Initially, Obasi was loath to accept Mufasa, but after Mufasa beat Taka in an initiation race, he permitted him to live among the females of the pride. Over the seasons, Eshe helped Mufasa hone his hunting and tracking skills.

One day, Eshe was attacked by two Outsiders, and Mufasa saved her life, killing one of the Outsiders in the process. Upon realizing that the Outsiders were coming for his pride, bent on revenge, Obasi sent Mufasa and Taka away to start a new life. In their absence, the Outsiders slaughtered Eshe and her pride.

Just in time, Eshe ran up and scared the crocodiles off, then pulled the cubs to safety. Once her son was safe, she chastised him for having risked his life for a stray. Though Taka pleaded with his mother to not turn Mufasa away, she pointed out that Obasi would never accept him into their pride. However, when Mufasa claimed that he was simply lost and asked which way his home was, she was overcome by pity and decided to bring him home.

Upon seeing Mufasa, Obasi tried to eat him and declared that he was worthless. Mufasa countered that he was fast, and so, Obasi told him to race Taka; should he lose, he would be eaten. Eshe reminded her mate that, should Mufasa win, he could join their pride. The race began, and Eshe urged Mufasa on. Due to Taka's intervention, Mufasa ended up winning the race, and Obasi reluctantly allowed him to join their pride, though he ordered him to live among the females, not the males.
