Updated reference here: [Ref] Her mother's comfort by Musicalmutt2


Cause i've been debating her for a while and then GlowVampire21 convinced me to make her official since we thought of a really good use for her in our comics
 
Her name is Katura- a 
Unisexual Zimbabwe name meaning "take a burden off my mind." ...She is Sarabi and Mufasa's daughter, born after Mufasa's death and Simba's disappearance. Sarabi had been excited to share her news with her mate and son, but quickly found that she wouldn't be able to share her joy and was quickly smashed to devastation. Katura was born in secrecy, so Scar wouldn't find out about her. She was nursed by different lionesses while Sarabi was forced to do hunting party after hunting party, trying to search down the food that was slowly starting to disappear. Katura was loved by her mother dearly, but was often left in care of Sarafina. She grew an attachment to Nala and Mheetu, and both stuck close to each other while Nala, Tama, and Kula were recruted into the hunting party once they were big enough to help out.

When the older lionesses found that Scar was going to drive out any male cubs in the pride, Sarafina and Sarabi instructed Tojo and Mheetu to go out and seek Malka and his pride, attempt to make a living with them. Kula, Tama, and Katura left with them, Sarabi finding it best for her daughter to seek life elsewhere and away from the horrible tyrant that was Scar.

Once they got news that Simba had returned and overthrew scar, they came for a visit. Mheetu and Katura decided to stay with their family- while the others stuck back with Malka's pride. The two prides hold a great alliance though and maintain their friendships. 

She's very close to her nieces and nephews, bringing out her cub-side that she didn't get to bring out when she was actually younger.

Katura and Mheetu never got to fulfill their full potential as Guards as cubs, but now that they're safe in the pridelands, they teach what they learned about defense and fighting from Malka's pride and teach it to Roxy and her guard.

She has green eyes and a stripe from her grandmother, Uru.
