==Origin==
==Appearance==
Nala originates from the Disney 1994 animated film, ''The Lion King'', voiced by {{w|Moira Kelly}} as an adult and Niketa Calame as a cub. Nala is Simba's spunky best friend and fiancée, though she was not fond of the idea of marriage initially. She is first seen being bathed by her mother Sarafina while they were paying a visit to Simba and his mother, Sarabi. Tricked by his uncle Scar to visit the Elephant Graveyard, Simba asks Nala to accompany him. When Nala and Simba reach the graveyard, they encounter Scar's hyena servants, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed. Fortunately, they are saved by Simba's father, Mufasa, before the hyenas could eat them, and Zazu is then tasked with escorting Nala back home. When Scar informs the pride of Mufasa's and Simba's deaths, she is seen mourning with the other lionesses.
Nala is an adult lioness who is light tan in coloration and has an average built as she is not stocky nor lanky. Her eye-shades are a lighter shade of tan with a cream tint as well as her muzzle and the fur on her fore and hind legs. Unlike most of the other unnamed lionesses seen around pride rock's base her paws do not have color and are light tan like her pelt. Her eyes are light blue and her sclera, like all the lions, are yellow and her tail tuft, like all the lionesses, is brown.
 
Years later, Nala has grown into a strong lioness and is reunited with Simba after hunting one of his friends, Pumbaa, for food. Nala is overjoyed to learn that her best friend is alive, and is filled with hope that Simba, as rightful heir to the Pride Lands, can return to their homeland and end Scar's tyranny. Nala and Simba spend a romantic evening in the jungle together, their feelings for one another being apparent. However, when Simba refuses to return to the Pride Lands in spite of being made aware its terrible state, Nala storms off after a heated argument. When Nala, Timon and Pumbaa discover from Rafiki that Simba has returned to the Pride Lands the next morning, they follow Simba, and offer to help him reclaim his kingdom. While Timon and Pumbaa distract the hyenas, Simba sends Nala to look for his mother and rally the rest of the pride. She complies and arrives with them as Simba confronts Scar. Like the other lionesses, she is shocked when Scar forces Simba to admit his guilt in Mufasa's death. However, Nala is one of the first lionesses to join in the battle against Scar when the latter reveals that he was the true cause of Mufasa's death. After the battle, she is seen looking on as Simba reclaims his throne. Some time afterwards, Nala becomes Simba's mate and had a cub with him, a daughter named Kiara.
