Qiang Li

[Baya]

Name: Qiang Li
Name Meaning: Strong
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Species: Bengal Tiger, Reddish Orange
Appearance: Tall, but not quite so much as his master, and has a slender build also unlike his master. His eyes are a luminescent emerald green. He wears the same black uniform of training clothes as his master, which consists of black pants, a black training shirt and a red belt instead of his master's black one. There is a scar across his left cheek from when he was a young cub, after an attack by village guards.
Personality: At first, when he was a cub, he held everything very dear and was kind all around. He would smile when the time came, and grow serious when the time for that came. He always had an anger problem and an obsession with revenge because of his past. When he was betrayed by his master so swiftly, his rage replaced everything else he used to be. He never smiled anymore. He barely spoke a word. He never even responded to simple questions during his judgement from under the Emperor himself. The boy that Jie De raised was brutally murdered when he betrayed Qiang.
History: When Qiang was a very young cub, he lived happily with his father and mother in a village. Though they were poor, things seemed to always be alright. His mother was a beautiful tigress admired by many in the village, and his father a rough tiger laborer who used his immense strength to bring home the bread through hard labor. A wealthy noble bear saw his mother in the market one day, and demanded to have her, to which his mother utterly ignored. That was when the noble began to harass their family, and eventually he had some mercenaries disguised as village guards go to Qiang's home and burn it. They were told to also kill Qiang and his father, but to spare the mother. During the fight, Qiang's father was killed as planned, but his mother blocked the spear of the men from reaching her son. Qiang managed to run away from his old village, and never did he return until much later on. With the death of his mother and father at age 9, his anger was already blossoming. He had turned to a thief, and stole much of what he needed. It was when he stole a pouch of pebbles from a man by the name of Jie De did he truly understand consequences. Instead of punishing the boy, Jie De decided to train him to use his obvious strength and speed. From cubhood to adult hood, Qiang looked up to his master as a demi-god and trained under him with no question. Though something he could never fight was his hate and anger for what was done to his parents by that noble bear. His anger would manifest itself as impatience, and self-hatred at the prospect of failure. Eventually, that hate over took him when he was told to go save a village from a mad man of a noble who was having the whole village burned to the ground for his own amusement. It was here that Qiang brutally destroyed what remained of the village in search of the noble he knew was his parent's murderer. When he found the scared old bear, he broke every bone in the creature's body, and finally laid a blow to his heart, thus ending his life in a fit of rage. When his master discovered this, he made his way to the village, confronted Qiang about it, and when finding out that Qiang did destroy much of the village and kill the noble in his anger, he subsequently captured him. From here, Qiang's rage began to grow and grow, not only towards the noble bear he killed, but everything and everyone.
