History/Bio

Kiziah was born in early into a hot African summer within the Pridelands. She may have been the only cub her mother gave birth to, but they were very proud of their daughter and gave her the best care and attention any young cub could ask for. She sometimes played with other young cheetah cubs her age around the watering hole, and liked making new friends.

This peaceful time abruptly came to an end as King Mufasa was killed and Scar inherited Pride Rock, as well as the rest of the lands. Her parents were horrified at the death of the king and his son, but knew they had to retreat and find new land to live within. However, a hungry pack of hyenas found the small family and whisked them away to Scar to be sentenced for a duty. He ordered Kiziah's  parents out to help the lionlesses hunt for food, as they were some of the quickest animals around. Her parents were worked so many hours of the day often with no food themselves and little sleep and rest, so they grew tired quickly. Scar grew furious and ordered the hyenas to kill them instead for a meal, but the cheetahs managed escaping their grip as they reached the horizon of the land in which they once loved so much and had so many peaceful times. From there, Kiziah tearfully nuzzled her parents goodbye and they promised they would see her again soon.

After traveling for some time, Kiziah was exhausted, heartbroken, and dying from lack of meals and hydration. She struggled to stay on her paws, but found an oasis to rest and cool off at. From there, she discovered an entire isolated jungle paradise. Little did she know that this was the very jungle Prince Simba grew up in. She grew up peacefully within the sanctuary, and ate fish and other berries and small animals. Kiziah longed for friends, but she was thankful enough to be alive and living in such a beautiful place.

Relation to The Lion King: Kiziah lived in the Pridelands, was chased out by the hyenas (a different pack; not Banzai, Shenzi, and Ed), and lived in the jungle Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa lived in.
