Tigress

Design is a slightly altered version of the winning design by Jax (#103364) from my contest here. Change notes: Moved Onyx Ticked to slot 10, replaced with White Ear Spots. Changed base color from Ivory to Trophy. Former heir before I bred a Royal dawn sunrise, now a queen and beat friend to the escaped tiger.

Her king expressed great pride in the tiger for escaping captivity, learning to become independent, and later making friends. The tiger spent a lot of time with her pride, as the tiger and lions learned from each other. Eventually, the tiger managed to convince Lion to try some hot springs. Tigress, curious about Lion's new striped friend, decided to join them. It was surprisingly relaxing. The Tiger was enamored with Tigress, finding comfort in their similarities - not as lovers (though they each admit privately that it was a possibility if the other were to approach them about it) but as friends from a foreign world. He wondered for a time if she was a tiger like him, perhaps escaped from a zoo as well, but as time went on, he found it didn't really matter to him what she was or where she came from. What was important was that he was surrounded by good friends. What was important was that, after a lifetime of captivity, he was finally home.
