Who is Amara?

Amara is a female white lioness introduced in Disney’s 2024 film “Mufasa: The Lion King.” She is a member of the Outsiders, a pride led by Kiros, and the sister of Akua and Kiros. Amara’s name means “assistance,” “aid,” “help,” or “urgent business” in Swahili.

In the film, the Outsiders seek vengeance against Mufasa for the death of Kiros’ son. Amara, alongside her pride, pursues Mufasa and his brother Taka (later known as Scar) to the fabled paradise of Milele. A significant battle ensues between the Outsiders and Mufasa’s allies, highlighting the tensions and conflicts that shape Mufasa’s journey to kingship.

Amara is voiced by Folake Olowofoyeku, a Nigerian actress and musician known for her role as Abishola in the television series “Bob Hearts Abishola.” Her portrayal of Amara adds depth to the character, contributing to the film’s exploration of themes such as family, loyalty, and the complexities of leadership within the animal kingdom.

“Mufasa: The Lion King” serves as both a prequel and sequel to the original “The Lion King,” delving into Mufasa’s origins and the relationships that influenced his path to becoming the revered king of the Pride Lands. The film has been noted for its strong messaging and powerful soundtrack, with music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Dave Metzger, and South African composer Lebo M.
