What's so great about the watering hole?

trees   &   apples  were  two  of  her  favorite  things  .      trees  were  fun  to  climb   &   apples  were   delicious  .      when  you  combine  the  two  ,    you  have  merida  freaking  out  .      scotland  had  apple  trees  ,    yes  but  not  near  her  kingdom  .      spending  the  afternoon  up  in  an  apple  tree  was    the  best  afternoon    she  had  in   a  long  time  .      well  ,    beating  ryan  macintosh  at   both   archery   &   riding  was  also  a  good  afternoon  .      she  was  content  up  in  her  apple  tree  among  the  branches   &   hidden  by  the  leaves  .      the  lass  reached  out  to  grab  the  nearest  apple  when  it  fumbled  in  her  grasp   &   gravity  did  the  rest  .                                           ❛    och  ,    sorry  !      that  didn’  hit  ya  ,   did  it  ?    ❜ leaning  over  ,    she  was  extra  careful  not  to  have  the  apple’s  same  fate  ,    &   looked  down  at  a  passerby  .

“Ouch! Hey!” the apple bounced off Nala’s head and she looked up, ready to fight. Nevermind that the offender could have been the tree itself. But she stopped baring her teeth as soon as she heard the apology. It hadn’t been Simba, and this girl clearly hadn’t meant to drop an apple on her head. 

“Uh, yeah it hit me,” Nala had a bit of an attitude, but instead of turning and stalking away, she suddenly had an idea. “Was that an accident or are you trying to hit someone?” She looked over her shoulder and grinned. “Because if you are trying to hit someone, I’ll totally help.”

simba wasn’t quite used to his new surroundings ( as far as he knew, no one was, really ), but he’d be damned if that stopped him from having a good time. so as he ambled on up, gait much too casual for the smirk that danced across his face and a twinkle in his eye that just screamed bad idea alert, simba felt more in his element than he had since before he appeared in fairvale. when he spoke, the words seemed to fall out of his mouth like a reflex, the confidence weaving into his tone so naturally, one couldn’t help but want to trust him – or at least want to hear about whatever his dumb idea was.

❛ hey, wanna go on an adventure ? ❜

Nala––as always––was minding her own business when Simba came stomping over like he was ten feet tall. First things first: she angled her body away from him so he couldn’t steal any of her chips (they were her favorites, with the red dust to let you know they were spicy) and gave him an appraising look. Dumb grin, even dumber casual pose. Yep, Simba had an idea again. 

“Mmmph?” she said through a mouthful of chips. The problem with Simba was that everything could be an adventure, and Nala didn’t want her precious time being wasted. “What kind of ‘ adventure ’ do you mean? Like, an actual adventure, or like the time you made me look at a really cool bug that turned out to be a leaf.”

Meet Nala. 

IF YOU ARE NALA’S PARENTS OR ZAZU: 

Nala is an upstanding citizen. She eats veggies three times a day and is in bed promptly by 10:00 pm. She works studiously in all her classes. In fact, she’s probably doing homework right this very moment. When she grows up, she wants to achieve world peace. In her spare time she enjoys saving kittens stuck in trees and helping old ladies cross the street. 

Otherwise click below: 

When Nala was born everyone in the Pridelands commented on how cute she was, and in the very next breath said how excited they were to be looking at their new queen. This lead to a childhood that was kinda weird in retrospect, but Nala didn’t really realize it at the time. 

Being the future Queen meant that she was treated like glass, as though she would break if she got so much as a hangnail. But she was also expected to grow to be strong, strong enough to help lead a nation. 

Strong enough to lead with her husband, Simba, which is disgusting. But neither of them had much choice in that matter. Luckily, Nala and Simba have been inseparable since they were little, and he’s her best friend. 

Nala has adjusted to Fairvale easier than her guardians thought. In many ways, she still lives the life of a princess, living in a fine mansion and getting everything she wants (except the freedom to roam). And plus, it’s nice to not have to be betrothed anymore. But the funny thing is, after realizing she didn’t have to marry Simba, well, she started to notice that she’d developed...feelings for him. 

HAHA JUST KIDDING Can you imagine?? Anyway, Nala is enrolled in a few college courses on topics that interest her, and plans to take full advantage of her new home to explore and meet as many people as possible. Bonus points if she gets to break a few rules in the process.
