Tigu

Tigu began as a tiger-striped cat, handed to Jin by an old crone in Verdant Hill with the remark that every farm needs a cat. Nicknamed "Tigu'er," she awakened like the other animals in the qi of Fa Ram.

In a defining moment she undergoes a cultivation Tribulation — struck by lightning — and emerges in a human form, a fierce young woman. Overjoyed, Jin bestows on her his own family name, making her Rou Tigu and, in effect, his adopted daughter and the young mistress of the farm.

Where the others are gentle, Tigu is all fire: earnest, headstrong, and hungry for battle, she becomes Fa Ram's strongest fighter. She proves unexpectedly artistic as well, throwing herself into creative pursuits with the same intensity she brings to combat.
