Description
You can find the other Historical Disney Warrior Princesses here: pelycosaur24.deviantart.com/ga…Finally another installment of my historical Disney Warrior Princess series! 
When and Where?
Since Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen in the movie the Lion King it can be assumed that it takes place either in the North of Tansania or the South of Kenia.
Commentary
I decided to base the dress of my humanized Nala on the dress of the Maasai, who are probably the most well-known ethnic group of Eastern Africa. The Maasai warriors have a very distinct dress and undergo an initiation ritual between the age of 12 and 25 – some sources claim that this ritual used to include a ceremonial lion hunt. Today the Maasai will only hunt lions that attack their livestock. Every time a new generation of warriors is initiated the old generation will become junior elders, responsible for political decisions and cut off their long hair.

Beg to disagree, the movie "Lion King" is going on in an imaginary location representing all of Africa.
The huge sand dunes Simba is running past back to Pride Land can be found in the Namib desert in Namibia. The smoldering volcano we see Scar viewing the goose-stepping hyenas, that is Erta Ale in Eritrea. The huge waterfall in the opening scene is Victoria Falls, aka. Mosi ya Tunya at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The delta in savanna land, that is either the internal Nile Delta in South Sudan or the Okavango delta in Botswana. There isn't any scene from West or Central Africa but we understand that all of Africa is meant to be portrayed.

Interesting! That makes sense in a way!

Could she have been a San instead? I ask that because, in the "Circle of Life" sequence, we see real-life meerkats, and they lived in the Kalahari, not the Serengeti.

Good work, like how you can see the lioness in the human face.
I was wondering, you wrote "Since I ran out of human princesses", have you done Eilonwy and Calla and I can't just find them?

Thank you 
Well for those two I could not really figure out a time and place that would have been convincing enough
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know for Calla but for Eilonwy I would look at dresses from pre-Norman invasion Wales

Yup, so lets see how Kiara will turn out.
On that note, what do you think of the new genetic study from a few month back proving that the skin color of the homo sapiens leaving Africa was actually white and the pigmentation in Africa is a result of environmental changes happening since then.

Lets see if I get that far
Ah, interesting... I guess there is so much still to be discovered in the genetic material
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sure you will! 
Yes, its interesting, tho quite logical, as africas climate was very different back then, even the Sahara was green and also humans were a lot closer to apes, and as like an ape wihout fur is white/pinkish and not black, humans shading their fur should't have been black from the begnning.

Well for now we are mostly learning how to crawl through the forest with our guns... the whole strategy stuff will later be taught at the military academy...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I see, so its more like the basic military traning right now, cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah exactely! The next two weeks will be filled with the final exams
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That must be intense and very tiering and you will sure become very well toned.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it is... but apparently it is no match for what is to come in the next 7 months.... O.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why what will the next 7 months be about? Mountin or para troops traning?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We start of with mountain training, but only half of us will be able to move on to the military academy... so they will try to convince half of us to give up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh then I was right XD that suprises me, was just a wilde guess with the mountine troops traning, tho with the alps there its logical.
Well that sounds challanging for sure, 50% dropout rate, still I'm sure with your dedication you will succed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.... I bought lots of toe warmers today XD there is just so much snow
Yes, I hope so too - but I am very confident that I will be accepted at the academy!

I won't say have fun, cuz I think fun is not really the idea behind it,
So I will just say carry on and go and achieve your dream!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... I am back, parts were fun, not the part where we went up a mountain with machine guns and stayed outside at minus 25 degrees for 24 hours
Thank you, I will

Oh well, now you party know how our boys felt like fighting on the Isonzo front 100 years ago. I think that is pretty cool. Did you perhaps managed to repel an all out Italian advance and capture around 3000 thousned of them with your 300 men? Cuz if yes; from then on I would start calling you Young Lady Rommel
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I definitely gained a lot of respect for mountain infantry!
well actually we were pretty much busy just keeping the machine gun from freezing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
