History: 

Nadra was born in the Mountain Pride. As a young girl, she had a knack for getting into trouble, not only with her mother but with other members of the pride. She especially had a very antagonistic relationship with Malka, the king's son. The two were known to argue a lot.

As a cub, Nadra was always seeking adventure. She hated rules, boundaries and the limitations that were laid out. So, one day, she broke them and ventured far away from her home. Unfortunately for her, she ran into a leopard who wasn't very eager to stay and talk. 

Luckily, Malka and his father, Kosey arrived on the scene in the nick of time. For once, Nadra felt ashamed and just followed the king home, after a brief telling off. She did get one more from her mother, who was worried sick about her, but Kosey's disappointment was even more heart-wrenching than her mother's anger. They all moved on past it soon, but she didn't.

When she was slightly older, a group of adolescent lions around Malka's age (who was a teenager around that time) arrived at the Pridelands. They asked for Malka's help and introduced themselves as Chumvi, Kula, Tojo and Tama. They had a cub with them called Mheetu. Nadra instantly formed a frenemy bond with Mheetu.

A little more into her life found a lioness called Nala asking now grown up Malka, Chumvi and Tojo for help to take the ruthless king of the pridelands, Scar, down. When they refused, Nadra was confused. Malks eventually explained to her why he had said no. "It isn't my fight." he told her.

Once she and Mheetu were fully grown, he approached her and asked her if she would accompany him to his homeland, which had been restored to its original beauty ever since Simba returned. Nadra agreed and before she knew it, she was in the Pridelands, visiting Mheetu's older sister Nala and her cub, Kopa. The journey back was uneventful and she and Mheetu had a lot of time to really get to know each other. She was surprised to find him intruiging.

Once back in her home, another thought hit her: when was she going to have a mate? All the female lionesses in the pride around her age were all talking about the joys of having a mate. She didn't really partake in such activities, but found herself engrossed with the question. 

She also had to deal with another problem: her growing attaraction for Mheetu. Also, she had a feeling he was starting to feel the same. She wasn't very pleased that her life had become a real-life love story, and thought about ignoring it. But she found out that she couldn't.

It took a lot of time, over which she got closer and closer to Mheetu. Finally, he got frustrated with her "playing hard-to-get all the time" and simply told her that he was in love with her. After calling him stupid for not realizing it, she also accepted it.

Soon, Nadra bore two cubs, Kali and Keto.
