Mheetu

Mheetu is the younger brother of Nala, and son of Sarafina and Upendo.

Summary
He was secretly born in the Pridelands after Upendo returns. Unfortunately, Scar already knew about his birth. However, he didn’t kill him because he will use the lioness's mother instincts just so he will have his pride pay attention to him more. However Scar seduces Nala to marry his future son, but Nala disagrees. Mheetu grows as a cub, and he was a shy yet sweet cub.

He went to Zira and ask if he can play with her three daughters, but Zira growls and said she will not let her daughters play with insane blood, like Mheetu, reminded about Sarafina's family. Mheetu, being a little cub, didn't understand what she means. Uru scolds Zira for her rudeness and said she will play with him instead. He had a loving sibling relationship with Nala, and wonders if they will leave the Pridelands to have a peaceful life. Later along with Mheetu, Scar banished Upendo and Sarafina out of the pride lands after Uru was killed by hyenas. Nala was looking to find help.

He made a surprise return in Part 5, where he is now a new pride and has grown up there. He appears in Pg 89, where he notices other lionesses are coming to the pride. He doesn't meet with them since he returns to the pride to see if his parents return, however not. Later he sees one of the lionesses' who came to the pride, and he recognizes her. It was Azra along with her three sisters Hasira, Hila, and Faida who come into the pride. Azra told Mheetu that she hasn't done anything wrong with the pride, and she reveals that she and her sisters will have his friends, Kito, Akin, and Thabo to join them.

He warns about this to the pride, but at first Shangazi, the pride leader, doesn't believe it. He then goes to his parents and he told them that they need to tell the pride about Scar's Family. The pride soon goes to Azra, the sister trio, and their mates and told them how they are gonna put them to war against the pridelanders. Mheetu's friends finally believe that they do not want to murder and they turn against the sisters and Azra. Soon they left and the pride was once again peaceful. However, it was unknown if they are attacked by Baridi's pride or they still live the peaceful life.

The Dark Times
In the different story of the comics, Dark Times, Mheetu appears to now be Scar and Sarafina's son and Nala's half brother. His appearance was also different then from the original story. His appearance is very similar to Scar.
