Sarafina

[SimbaStar]

Oh, Nalas mother?! Then I've seen her once! Cool!

[Yatima]

She looks realy similar to adult Nala! XD

[SimbaStar]

Oh... cool...

Sarafinas name means "Bright Star" in Swahili. How ironic considering her minimal performance.

Does anyone else think that Sarafina is the lioness greeting Simba as he steps down from Pride Rock after defeating Scar? One lioness is standing next to Zazu, Simba stops by her and they exchange a look. The other lionesses just pass by him.

Hmm, it's hard to tell, seeing how rainy and discolored all the lionesses look when that scene plays out. lol. ^^ That is funny about Sarafina's name translation though. ^^ I guess sometimes the brightest stars are the ones you only see for a split second.

Hey, never thought of that, I hope it was her ^.^

Actually, Sarafina is one of my favorite characters in TLK...

She's so beautiful! Eventhough her role is very small in the movie, we can see her more in books and comics. She seems to be a gentle and caring mother; Nala is very lucky. I'm not sure why so many fans are so interested in Sarafina... Maybe because we don't know about her so much. Many artists in TLKFAA (including me) have created stories for Sarafina.

I don't believe that the "My, how you have grown!" lioness is Sarafina, eventhough she has the same voice. In the original, English version, maybe, but not in other versions. If the lioness was meant to be Sarafina, she would have Sarafina's voice in other languages, too.
I mean, in the Finnish versions of TLK and SP, Sarabi and ZIRA have the same voice!

Sarafina is soo perfect! She looks so young and she's such a beautiful lioness! I love her name as well. Nala grew up witha fantastic smart and beautiful mother!

Really wish they'd haven given her more than just one line... Seems like Disney just loves screwing around with their fans.

[Yumacub]

Yeah. poor Sarfina! I'm gunna draw her and find facts about her! ^^
