Lion King Speedpaint: Childhood

In my TLK Universe. Zira was born and raised in the Pridelands by her mother Bianka and her father (unnamed). Growing up she did notice her mother scowling at the other lionesses and she always pushed Zira to become close friends with the Princes Mufasa and Taka. Zira's father was very different, he was firm, but loving and was close friends with King Ahadi.

However, after Zira's father died mysteriously, Bianka started taking Zira to hidden areas for what she called training, brutal fighting training every day. Bianka had a plot and insisted that she would one day take over the Pridelands and Zira was training to be ready for the day of the attack. You see, Zira was to gain the trust of the princes so when the time was right, she would kill them under her mother's orders. Bianka would not be alone in this plan as she had many loyal lionesses in the Pridelands who believed in Bianka's plan for power.

Zira never wanted this life, but her fear of her unstable mother meant she had no choice...
