Season 3

In "Battle for the Pride Lands", when Scar's forces set fire to Pride Rock, Kion immediately dispatches Ono to find Kiara and their parents. Later, when Scar claims to have eliminated the rest of the Lion Guard, Kiara expresses audible distress at the idea of her brother's loss. After Kion returns from defeating Scar, Kiara immediately notices the scar inflicted on him by their ghostly great-uncle's final scheme. When Kion prepares to depart for the Tree of Life to receive healing, Kiara wishes him luck. Kion expresses appreciation for this, and the hope that he’ll be able to return before Kiara's first hunt.

In "Return to the Pride Lands", Kiara appears to interrupt the fight between the returning Kion, his Lion Guard, and their allies against Vitani's Lion Guard. Spotting Kovu following her, Kion warns Kiara of the other lion's approach. Kiara, realizing what is happening, calls a halt to the conflict and explains to her brother that Kovu, Vitani, and the other former Outsiders are now part of their father Simba's pride. Kion is bewildered by these developments, but Kaira invites him to accompany her and the others back to Pride Rock where everything can be explained to him.

Later, after Kion and his family speak to Mufasa, Kiara notices Kion staring at a group of four stars. She questions him, and Kion admits that Kiara's new relationship with Kovu has made him think of someone he met at the Tree of Life. Immediately intrigued and amused, Kiara asks about her, expressing further amusement upon learning that Kion has caught the eye of a queen. However, Kiara also senses Kion's admiration for Rani and that he misses her, which Kion admits to be the case.

Kiara suggests that Kion might return to the Tree of Life and expresses the belief that their parents would be accepting of his choice if he did so. Kion ends up taking her advice sooner than expected, after surrendering his role as leader of the Lion Guard to Vitani. He and his Guard then return to the Tree of Life to take up permanent residence, with Kiara, their parents, Kovu, and various others accompanying the group for a visit. They are present as Kion and Rani are married and Kion is crowned King of the Tree of Life, with Kiara cheering on her younger brother.

Kiara and Kion's sibling relationship is reasonably popular among fans, having been a recurring theme in The Lion Guard. The series, and thus fan works, typically depict them as having an occasionally antagonistic but overall loving relationship. Conflict typically stems from Kiara, as older sibling and heir to the throne, butting heads with her headstrong younger brother. However, the pair always manage to reconcile after disagreements, and it doesn’t stop them from caring about each other. Particularly as they mature, Kion comes to trust Kiara, who is the first member of their family he tells about his relationship with Rani.

Although it hasn't been officially conformed, people like to believe that the lion cub seen at the end of the Mufasa film is Kion. With him being Kiara's brother in the Lion Guard series, it has fans strongly feel that their theory of the cub's identity to be right.

On AO3, there are currently 10+ written works.
