History: Karlika was born in the Pride Lands by two young lions who weren't even meant to be there. As soon as they were discovered by Simba, a year later, he thought they were spies from the rival pack that had been bothering his pride, and a battle began. Of course, Karlika ran away and hid, so she didn't get spotted by this angry looking lion. She didn't dare look out from behind the rock to see what was going on, but she could hear loud roars and yelps. She fell asleep behind the rock, and when she woke up, she peeked outside to see a blood-stained ground and nothing else. Then it hit her: her parents must have been chased off, and they tried to get Karlika, or just wanted to save their own tails. She was upset by this, and wondered to the nearest place she could find that had anything living there: Pride Rock. Kiara found her, and took her to Simba. Karlika recognized the strange lion, and didn't like him much. But as Simba had never seen Karlika before, he didn't know the lions were her parents. In desperate need of more lionesses, he let Karlika join the pride. She grew up with Kiara, and thought of her as a sister somewhat. But when Kovu came on the scene, she felt upset he was taking all the attention away from her, and Karlika left the pride to start her own. Of course, she had asked Simba about this first, and he granted her permission to use the land near the Outlands to start up a pride. A few of the Pride lionesses decided to come with her, and they set off. When they reached the land, they all picked caves, and huddled at the back of Karlika's was Ahali. Karlika carefully looked after the cub, who looked too young to even move by herself. She adopted the young cub, and named her Ahali. As Ahali grew, Karlika was happy to have a heir. She was even happier when Ahali became mates with a young lion she had saved from a storm, Erevu, and had children, Nabila and Bonde. When she grew older, she stepped down from being the leader of the Moonfall Pride, and let Ahali take over. A few months into Ahali's reign, Karlika died from a disease nobody had heard of, even Tehrani, the medicine lion. She died by her daughter's side, and now looks down on her whenever she can, happy with how her daughter is doing.

Relation to TLK: She was a member of Simba's Pride, and good friends with Kiara. She also lives in practically the same place as them.
