Nala/Relationships

Simba
Nala loves her mate very dearly, and has a great deal of faith in him both as a mate and as a king. When Simba is feeling doubtful over anything, Nala is always there to give him her support. She is also the one who is able to convince Simba into doing things, such as the Christmas performance for Timon and Pumbaa.

Nala fears for her mate whenever he is in severe danger, such as the time when he fell into a sinkhole in "Bunga and the King". and when he is hurt in The Scorpion's Sting.

Kion
Nala appears to have a close mother-son relationship with her son Kion. Unlike Simba, she accepted that it was time for Kion to lead the Lion Guard, and showed immense pride in him when he defeated Janja and his clan and rescued Kiara. Kion cares about her deeply, and becomes concerned about her whenever she's in danger, as seen in "Never Roar Again".

Kiara
Nala and her daughter Kiara are shown to have a loving mother-daughter relationship, and Kiara enjoys learning about the importance of hunting and tracking from her. Nala always worries for her daugther whenever she's in danger, and has faith in her knowing she can and will be a good future queen.

Zazu
Zazu works for the queen as her Royal Advisor, who reports everything to her and Simba. He and Nala both helped encourage Simba to give his speech at Aminifu's funeral, showing how well the two work together.

In general, the two are good friends.

Rafiki
When Nala first hears Kion's roar, she tells a doubting Simba to listen to Rafiki, knowing it is time for her son to fulfill his destiny.

Rafiki is a close friend of the royal family who always helps them out if they are sick or hurt. From what we have seen so far, the two seem to be good friends, with Nala having much trust in Rafiki as their Royal Mjuzi.

Hadithi
Not only are the birds of the Pride Lands fans of Hadithi, but the queen of the Pride Lands is also a fan of Hadithi too as she believed him to be a hero when they first met and has in fact praised him twice in the episode, "Ono's Idol". She later watches the eagle praise Ono for his true bravery in the Royal Mud Print Ceremony.

Janja
When she confronts Janja and his clan in the Pride Lands, Nala orders them to go back into the Outlands, but instead they attempt to attack her and have her surrounded until Kion roars at the hyenas out of anger until they are back where they belong. In "The Rise of Scar", Janja threatens to kill her again as part of his plan to revive the spirit of Scar. He is also shown to have no respect for the queen at all. As seen in "Never Roar Again", he believes that she is weak and powerless.
