History:
Birth- Nia has no memory of where she came from. Her earliest memory is waking up in a large field of soft grass under the stars. She has no clue who her real family is.
Childhood- Nia was found by Simba that night she woke up under stars. It was not long after the pride landers and the out landers joined together. Simba asked what her name was. The first thing that came to her head was Nia. Simba took the cub back to pride rock. There she explained she has no memory of anything. Nala and Simba talked about. Now Kiara was all grown up they had time so they decided to take Nia in.
Nia was cared for by Nala and Simba. She often went exploring and loved to run. She was the fastest cub in the whole pride and always challenged others. Nia's best friend was a boy named Asante. They were never apart and they loved to play. Asante was Nia's first friend. He was eager to meet her despite how shy she was at first. Nia and Asante are always challenging each other to races, play wrestling, and exploring. Sometimes they enjoyed playing pranks on others. They were always the two getting into trouble. Nia also has a friend name Paka. Nia met Paka when she out trying to catch a butterfly. Paka is blind in both eyes and was lost when Nia met her. After seeing she was blind Nia helped Paka back home. Paka thanked Nia. Nia smiled and replied, "You can pay me back with a play date tomorrow! I'll come get you early morning tomorrow!" after that Nia and Paka became great friends, despite Paka's blindness.
Nia was always full of life and very brave.  She always had her great friends around her and seemed to always be happy.
One day,  Nia over heard Simba and Rafiki talking about her. Nia couldn't help but spy on them. Rafiki was trying to explain to Simba that she was meant to do something great. Nia of course was extremely curious but was interrupted when Nala called her for dinner. Nia had to see what Rafiki was talking about later.
The next day,  Nia was out for her early morning walk when Rafiki stopped her. He wanted to talk to her and Nia went along. Rafiki explained to Nia that she had something important to do. Nia, of course, asked a million questions. Rafiki painted markings on Nia's face and told her a short story. "A girl born from the stars, raised into a hero by one of experience for a million shall help end years of fighting along with the ones she trust the most. Then with a land full of true happiness she lays her head down to rest," Rafiki quotes the legend. Nia was very confused and Rafiki told her someone who needs her will be coming soon, it is best to be prepared.
Teenage years- soon after the talk she had with Rafiki Nia grew into a young teenager and Nia forgot all about the legend and continued her normal life. Nia, Asante, and Paka were out playing when they ran into another cub, not from the pride lands. He begged to speak to one named Nia. Paka and Asante looked at Nia, puzzled. Nia could barely speak. The cub explained he was Ashon, a prince of a pride far west from the pride lands. Ashon told the story of how another lion by the name of Jashar had just kidnapped his brothers. Despite being the youngest Ashon got away and to go find the legendary Nia and her team who is supposed to end the fighting between his pride and Jashar's pride. Nia couldn't believe what she was hearing. After hearing more from Ashon Nia felt it was her right to help. She instructed Ashon she would sneak out tonight to help him but when night fell her friends, Asante and Paka wouldn't let her go alone. The four left that night to Ashon's pride.
While they were gone the Pride landers sent out search parties for the cub but the four moved quickly. They were able to catch enough food for themselves and got along fine. It was along walk before they finally got to the pride. The place was bare and empty. Years of fighting destroyed the land but Ashon told stories about how beautiful it once was. This kept their spirits up while they thought of a plan. Ashon told them everything they needed to know a out the land a d the prides. Ashon and Nia went looking around the next morning. Ashon then noticed everyone was gathered for something. Ashon witnessed his father's death. Jashar killed him in front of everyone. Ashon was about to charge in but Nia stopped him reminding him to be smart about this. Later that day they split into teams. Asante and Nia went looking around to see who was on Jashar's side while Paka and Ashon went to look for others to help them fight back. They soon had a large army gathered to fight Jashar. Nia couldn't help but be extremely nervous. Paka stayed back with Ashon and helped him give orders while Nia and Asante wanted to help fight. When the armies clashed it was clear Jashar was expecting them. Nia watched the fight happened but then went right for Jashar. Jashar stayed in the den heavily guarded and gave orders. When Nia reached him large full grown lions stood in between them and protected Jashar.  Nia tried her best to fight through them all and though it was extremely difficult she didn't back down. Jashar decided to call of his guards. "I would prefer to fight with you, now that I see you really are the legend," Jashar said. Nia charged at him but Jashar quickly pinned her down. Luckily, Asante was there to help. He attacked Jashar and protected Nia. The two fought for quiet some time. In the end Jashar dangled Asante over the edge of large rocky steep hill. Nia lunged at him, sending Nia and Jashar down the hill hitting every rock on the way down. Asante ran to help and was able to save Nia before she hit the hard ground. Everyone gathered around Jashar's motionless body. It was finally over.
It took a while for their wounds to heal. Ashon took over his pride and banished everyone who worshipped Jashar. Nia and Asante's scars never did heal but they did find something new about themselves. When they were ready they decided to return home and leave Ashon in charge. Nia and Asante left for the pride lands while Paka decided to stay with Ashon, she had fallen in love with him and wanted to rule by his side. Nia and Asante were able to tell everyone the whole story and their families couldn't be any more proud.
Adulthood- Nia and Asante soon found their crushes on each other were more than just crushes. They became mates. Paka, now queen of Ashon's pride, visits a lot and now has two cubs herself. Though, Nia and Asante recently learned Nia cannot have children they look towards a future of adopting a cub in need.
