Tigress

Tigress
Tigress' birth pride was hunted by poachers for their interesting coat patterns, but luckily, her mother was able to hide her well enough that she was missed. She was quite a young cub at the time, and likely wouldn't have made it on her own, but a group of hunting lionesses managed to find her and she was adopted into their pride. Some years later, when Tigress was just a young adult, the king went mad and massacred the whole pride, just missing the hunting party that was currently out, including Tigress. When they returned, they could instantly tell something was wrong, and were able to avoid the king, and escape. After wandering on her own for awhile, Tigress eventually joined the settlement.


Some call Tigress a jinx, while others call her lucky for surviving what she has. She hates both titles. After all that she's been through, she seldom let's others very close to her. She is often cross with those who try to get close to her, or sometimes even those that try to be kind to her. She mostly keeps to herself, but still seems to enjoy the protection and food that being a part of the settlement helps to provide.

Special Notes:
I think this was a tree cub. I'm a sucker for stripes, and I know these are zebra stripes and not tiger stripes, but she was the most tiger-like lion that I had when I named her. Tigers are my favourite animals. I turned her white trim up to 100%.
