Sarafina is the mother of Nala. She is a minor character and has only one line of dialogue: "Hmm. What do you think, Sarabi?"

Sarafina is first seen bathing her daughter Nala as Simba comes running along to tell Nala about the elephant graveyard. She is seen later mourning the loss of Mufasa and Simba with the other lionesses, and then years later aiding in the battle against Scar's hyena minions when Simba returns. Her actual name is never mentioned in the movie.

It is interesting to note that when Nala grows up, she strongly resembles her mother.
