After the King's brother, Scar, betrayed and killed Mufasa, and exiled Simba, Scar confirmed their deaths, and took over as King, allowing the hyenas to invade the land. For years Simba and Nala didn't see each other. When she entered young adulthood her ill brother Mheetu was born, and his illness affected her so much that she left the Pride Lands to seek help and entered the jungle where she reunited with Simba, alive and well with Timon and Pumbaa. She convinced him to return home and defeat Scar, where she became his mate and therefore his Queen. They eventually had three cubs, Kopa, Kiara, and Kion.
