Sarafina

Sarafina is Nala's mother who is a minor character in the series. She is a lioness who made very few appearances in The Lion King. She is the only parent of Nala.

The Lion King
Although Sarafina didn't appear in the midquel, she is first seen sleeping with the other lionesses, including Sarabi and Mufasa. She is later seen giving Nala a bath by licking her when Simba walks to her. She explains to Sarabi about Simba and Nala's journey to the watering hole. Later, Sarafina is seen mourning about Mufasa's death. She noticed the hyenas invading Pride Rock after hearing Scar's eulogy. Sarafina possibly appears during the final battle and congratulates Simba for beating his uncle before the film ends.

Storyboard Sketch
Even though Sarafina had only one speaking line in the film, she is given more lines ("Nala, you just had a bath!").

Musical
Sarafina appeared in only one song of the adaption of the film ("The Lioness Hunt") and also another song ("Rafiki Mourns"). During the song sung by the hyenas ("Chow Down"), it is revealed that Banzai's father was eaten by Sarafina.

The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride
Sarafina possibly only makes a brief appearance with the lionesses when congratulating Kiara's first hunt. It is possible Sarafina has appeared or not.

Comics
Sarafina only appeared in one comic (Nala's Dare). Here, she allows Nala to leave her protection and the rest of the pride's lionesses.
