It's been awhile that I did deleted characters SO here is a list of ALL The deleted Lion King Characters

Nala's dad

Mhheetu: Nala's brother and a white lion from King of the Jungle. Before Scar murdered Mufasa and took over the Pride Lands, Mheetu was a part of Nala's gang alongside a bat-eared fox named Bhati, while Simba's gang consisted of Timon and Pumbaa. The two gangs often played together. All of these characters were originally scripted to grow up around the prince as childhood friends.

Naanda: Sister of Sarabi, mother of Nala from King of the Jungle. Naanda is portrayed as a more level-headed character than Sarabi in the two versions of the script. In the January 1990 draft, she manages to calm Sarabi down when the latter tries to attack Scar in blind anger, and does the same in the May 1990 draft when Sarabi comes close to attacking Banagi.

As a mother, Naanda is caring and maternal. She plays with Nala during her cubhood, and once Nala matures, Naanda grows deeply concerned for her daughter's safety, especially after Nala decides to pretend to be in love with Scar. After Scar kills Mufasa in the May 1990 draft, Naanda stops Nala from running to Simba's aid when he tries to attack the hyenas.

Like her sisters, Naanda seems to be passive and doesn't stand up for herself when Scar takes the pride, evident when she discourages her daughter's suggestion to find an ally to defeat Scar and the hyenas. She also seems very loyal to her homeland when she refuses to leave it despite the harassment from the hyenas.

Banagi: A ruthless scavenger who uses Scar's rise to power as a means of giving his clan free reign over the savanna from King of the Jungle.
