## History

### Origin

The girl that would become Lady Tiger was born as a second child to parents in rural China while under the oppressive One Child policy of the Chinese Communist Party. To escape sanctions and punishment, her family fled to Hong Kong in an attempt to escape to the west from there but, unfortunately, only her pregnant mother managed to make it. Lady Tiger would be born in the poorest district of the island, her mother facing difficult years ahead as she had to raise the child alone.

Note, the above is merely the information that has been able to be gleaned by investigation by Chinese and international authorities combined with details offered up by Lady Tiger herself. As such, it is considered speculative at best and potentially disinformation at worst. It is known that, at some point, Lady Tiger’s mother became indebted or otherwise embroiled with the Triads that ran the underbelly of Hong Kong and beyond while Lady Tiger herself was still a student. During this time, Lady Tiger seems to have been aware of her own capabilities and downplayed them, remaining a good student but one that performed vastly below her potential considering what is now known about her intellectual capacity. When her mother was punished by Triad enforcers, however, the direction of Lady Tiger’s life change drastically. Rather than being taken in by those agencies responsible for aiding orphaned children or falling into an even worse living situation, Lady Tiger simply disappeared…along with all information available about her.

Though it would seem inconceivable that a girl that was barely into her teenage years could accomplish such a feat, such conceptualization cannot accurately be applied to Lady Tiger who has, time and again, shown herself to be impossible to predict or quantify. Living under a series of aliases across several countries in the west, the girl gained a considerable education through private tutelage and enrollment in different schools all funded by her own investment decisions. Indeed, Lady Tiger once claimed to have paid for the half a decade of living and schooling expenses through “six and a half hours of day trading”.

### Ascending to Power

When she considered her time abroad done, Lady Tiger returned to Hong Kong and, without any fanfare, began work to dismantle the power structures of the Triads. Or, rather, to supplant them. Through a combination of finances, violence and political acumen, it took her a mere fifteen months. Lady Tiger has claimed on at least one occasion that it “only took that long” because she was “playing with them”.

At any rate, she emerged under the Lady Tiger moniker within the Hong Kong underworld as undisputed ‘boss of bosses’ and would go on to weave herself into the organized crime of the Asian continent and, through that, the political power structure of China itself. Initially, the powers that be in China attempted to resist this infiltration with both conventional and ‘wondrous’ measures, but the deaths of several superbeings sent against her along with Lady Tiger’s vicious reprisals against those within the Communist Party that had taken a hardline stance against her eventually lead to a reversal of those policies…especially after the highly dependable CCP operative Agent #88 revealed that she was, in fact, Lady Tiger herself. At a loss for any way to contend with or even contain Lady Tiger by that point, the current Chinese regime acquiesced to her ‘humble’ demands.

Currently, Lady Tiger enjoys a contentious but mutually beneficial relationship with the nation of her birth with Lady Tiger even having control over at least one island in the China Sea from which she operates. With Hong Kong conquered and China brought to heel (at least by her estimates), Lady Tiger has finally begun to turn her attentions to the larger world, intent on making it bow before the would-be Empress of the World.

## Personality

Brilliant. Ambitious. Deadly. Possessed of one of the foremost minds on Earth, Lady Tiger is a woman of unbridled and unquenchable hunger for power and will not stop until the Earth (and perhaps more) is under her control. Though ruthless, she is also proud rather than crave and, with that pride, she carries a sense of duty & responsibility towards her ‘lessers’, believing that the world truly would be better served by her rule. Though she seeks power to satisfy her own ego, she does not do so maliciously, instead utterly convinced that, without her leadership, the world is eventually doomed.

With that sort of worldview, it should be no surprise that Lady Tiger is arrogant in the extreme, believing that she has few, if any, equals in the world. Indeed, she sees pretenses of supremacy on the parts of others as personal challenges to her and often acts upon them thusly. Befitting a woman that believes herself to be a cut above the rest, she holds herself to certain standards that include typical ‘courtly’ manners & concepts of honor. After all, what sort of monarch sullies their hands with the blood of children, for instance?
