Story
Before Kingdom Hearts II
Before the Pride Lands were taken over by the heartless, Nala as a cub was apart of a pride of lions that lived there, led by their king Mufasa and she was best friends with his son, Simba who was going to be the future king. But when she heard that Simba and their king were dead, she was devastated, and Scar became the new king of the Pride Lands, and ravaged the country in the process.
Kingdom Hearts II
Nala grows up to be a fine lioness. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy first visit her world, they save her from a group of Living Bones that are chasing her. Seeing hope for her pride, Nala then asks them to help her defeat Scar. Nala then leads the group to Pride Rock, where they meet Rafiki. The elderly mandrill deems Sora the wrong person to remove Scar and the hyenas who serve him from the Pride Lands.
When Nala tells Sora about Simba's existence, the Keyblade wielder tells her that Simba is alive and well. As the group sets off to find Simba, they reach a deep chasm; Nala crosses the chasm with no hesitation, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy remain on the opposite side, fear-stricken. Nala teaches Sora how to dash in his lion form in order to leap over the chasm.
Together with Sora, Donald, and Goofy, Nala is reunited with Simba at the Oasis, and after some persuasion from his friends, Simba heads back to the Pride Lands to face Scar. After a fierce battle with Scar, Simba becomes the new king of the Pride Lands.
Upon Sora's second visit to the Pride Lands, Nala has become Simba's mate and is carrying their child. Nala is first seen trying to encourage Simba to take control of the Pride Lands. When the Ghost of Scar terrorizes the Pride Lands, everyone runs away in fear, except Nala, who stays behind and is protected by Pumbaa until Simba comes back to face his fear.
Some time after Xemnas's defeat, Nala and Simba look on as Rafiki holds their newborn cub high above the restored Pride Rock so that all of the animals who reside in the Pride Lands can observe their new princess.
Design
Nala is an adult lioness with a lithe build, similar to the other lionesses of Pride Rock. She is primarily light tan in color, with cream-colored fur on her muzzle and underbelly, as well as bordering her eyes. Unlike most of the other lionesses, her paws are the same color as her pelt. Her eyes are light blue and her sclera, like all the lions, are yellow. The tuft of her tail, like all the lionesses', is brown.
Personality
Nala is Simba's childhood friend who is constantly providing positive support and encouragement to the worried king. Nala has a strong loyalty and desire to help others-specifically, her pride, as she is seen hunting outside of the usual Pride Lands in an attempt to save the starving pride. Nala also has a great amount of bravery as she is willing to attack Scar, the once-present king of the Pride Lands, in order to let Sora, Donald, and Goofy escape. Nala is a skilled and fierce fighter, as seen when she flips Simba on his back and pins him to the ground.
Origin
Nala originates from the Disney 1994 animated film, The Lion King, voiced by 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.
Years later, Nala has grown into a strong lioness and is reunited with Simba after hunting one of his friends, Pumbaa, for food.
