Zara is a leopard in PrinceBalto's TLK remake.

About her[]

In The Lion King: The Legend of Simba, which is PrinceBalto's remake of TLK, Simba's exile in the jungle goes differently. While found by Timon and Pumbaa, he quickly ends up in Zara's care, because she states that he needs to be fed on meat to survive and thrive. She raised him there and taught him to fight.

She lives in the same jungle as Timon and Pumbaa, and is counted as that area's "queen". She followed Simba back to Pride Rock, where she opted to stay once he had defeated Scar.

She cares deeply for Simba and will not hesitate to attempt to protect him. She is also a recurring presence through PrinceBalto's remake of The Lion Guard, where she often tells Kion stories about Simba's time in the jungle and also mentors him.

When Kion is still a baby, she comes upon a young hyena named Jasiri, who has lost her mother and clan to disease. Zara immediately developed a motherly love for the cub and decided to adopt her, and Simba allowed it. Jasiri then becomes the new Guard's purest of heart, much to Zara's pride. When Jasiri is a young adult, she finds her a fine male hyena and the two became mates. She then became the proud grandmother to Wema and Tunu.
