Sarafina

Sarafina is a lioness who is the mother of Nala and Mheetu.



The Lion King
Though Sarafina has a very small part in The Lion King, and only one spoken line ("Hmm... What do you think, Sarabi?"), she remains a very popular character among the fans.

She makes her first appearance sleeping in the royal den along with her daughter Nala.

Her most notable appearance when Simba runs down to invite Nala to come with him to The Elephant Graveyard. Sarafina is giving Nala a bath and contiues to clean her while Nala, Simba, and Sarabi discuss where they plan to go, and whether or not they should go. When Nala asks Sarafina permission to go with Simba, Sarafina asks Sarabi what her opinion is. Sarabi agrees to let the cubs go, on the condition that Zazu goes with them.

Next we see Sarafina, is when Scar is announcing Mufasa's death to the pride, and his alliance with the hyenas.
