Kahina (kah-hee-nah)
- Kahina was born to Sefu while they were in a desert pride that would later fall apart
- Her mother had them following the authoritative Zira to join a new pride in The Pridelands alongside Olee. Which just so happens to be the place their ole pride member Fayola had moved to a little while back to have her own cubs. Except now it was ruled by the great king Scar!
- Kahina felt too different from the other cubs there, even Ola who's mum was also an outsider coming in had been born in the pride. But at least they looked similar. Even Ola's own little sister Abena didn't look like they did.
- And how Ola was confident, and new how to stand up for herself and when others were being slow and not carrying their weight. Most of which accumulated into bullying Nala as she started to fall behind in hunting. (See 'Be Prepared: A Twisted Tale')
- As they all grew they were the best students in listening to what their cunning king Scar had to teach them. She and Ola were his best listeners. Then hunters.
- Then one day Nala went missing, only to return with a new lion named Simba who fought their king Scar for the throne.
- In all the carnage and chaos, Kahina stayed loyal. So when Ola wanted to get at Nala for bringing Simba back to ruin everything, she of course helped her in the attack.
- They didn't succeed, and neither did Scar. Simba was the new king and he exiled her and Ola for attacking Nala and their siding with Scar, alongside Zira who held firm that her cub Kovu was the Chosen One.
- Ola's mother Fayola and sister Abena came with them into exile. Kahina's mother did not.
- She fell into Zira's doctrine for a long time, fueled by the fact her mother never cared to even try bring her back. She just... nothing was right.
- Even when she had a fling with some rogue and had her daughters Imara and Shabaha she didn't show them that much attention. They had each other after all, and didn't seem to care all too much that she wasn't dotting.
- She of course fought in the Outsiders vs Pridelanders fight but it was the turning of the tide that had her yielding more than anything and it was just... easier to bend and accept going back to the Pridelands. She was just tired, wanted peace in whatever odd shape she could find it
Source Material
Kahina is a cub mentioned in the book: 'Be Prepared: A Twisted Tale' where she is noted to be a bully of Nala alongside Ola while they're all learning to hunt. Nothing else of her is mentioned so I paired her as a daughter of one of the other lionesses mentioned, Sefu.
As for canonical appearances, in the Lion King II: Simba's Pride, we see several unnamed Outsider lionesses, I decided to make Kahina one of them to account for numbers. (Plus the two daughters she produces)
