Bio[]
Growing up in an orphanage somewhere in the Valley of Peace, she was one day adopted by Master Shifu seeing her potential for Kung Fu. She grew up in the shadow of her foster brother Tai Lung who was favored by Shifu, her adoptive father. Eventually, she became one of the Furious Five, one of the greatest kung fu masters in all of China along with Monkey, Mantis, Viper and Crane. She's a cold and distant person who disliked and distrusted Po and his "kung fu skills" Grand Maste Oogway saw in the fat panda. However, she eventually accepted him and now is one of his closest friends, along with Po's father Ping, Mantis, Monkey, Viper, Crane and Master Shifu.
Gameplay[]
Tigress combines speed, agility and strength in one and the same character. She uses mostly kicks, chops and punches in combat. She is most well-known for her immense speed. However, her attacks need more time to be performed like any other fighter and when in a combo, she can't break it up making herself defendless eventually. Below, you can find her moveset:
Neutral Attack - does a karate chop
Forward Tilt - punches with her right fist
Up Tilt - does a salto without moving forwards or backwards
Down Tilt - kicks with her right foot over the ground creating a small shockwave keeping up-storming enemies at bay
Dash Attack - does a karate kick upwards creating flaming shockwaves

Trivia[]
She was announced on September 21th, 2013 alongside E. Aster Bunny.
The two have been paired as both openly distrust / disrespect the main protagonist (in her case Po), both are tough and cold warriors who have shown a soft side (Tigress caring for Zan's safety in LoA and Bunny caring for Jamie's little sister Sophie), both befriend and trust the main protagonist at the end of their respective debut movies, and both are animals.
She is the third female character to be announced playable for DAR, the first being Ginormica and the second Fiona.
