[quote="Squeely"]I don't buy Nala being Vitani's real mother for a second. The "pretty daughter" line was obviously in reference to Kiara. It could hint that Vitani is jealous of Kiara, who is next in line for queen of the Pridelands, and who looks more conventionally attractive than Vitani does. It could hint that Vitani was going to rule alongside Kovu if the Outsiders took over, so she may be taunting with that in mind. But it's clear to me that Vitani is not directly related to Nala.[/quote]
Heck it could be a prod at Kiara being pretty instead of effective as a lioness ( see various failed hunts ).
I'd tend to agree with the idea that Vitani's Zira's cub though, keeps things simpler and I don't see any compelling reason why it would be otherwise.
