Origin story summary : Orphan girl from a young age after a terrible incident that took the life of her father, her only family, she was taken in by Héshàng Hóu, one of the shifus from the legendary Xīfāng Báihǔ Temple, in which Tira then trained everyday in the hopes that one day she’ll be bestowed upon the divine power of the White Tiger of the West, despite the hereditary odds standing against her, all for the sake of “revenge” against the perpetrator of her traumatic past. It is her stubbornness, even while faced with this predicament, that charmed her shifu, henceforth deciding to keep training her towards that path.
Her unfortunate reputation as a hot headed Beast in delusion about the set rules of this world toughened her so much that she became an infamous rebellious student in the Qiū Bái Academy where she “attends” in order to further her training still. And although the leader of the rebellious Oni Warriors group, Hú Yāo, is largely considered to be the most likely to inherit the divine power, Tira presses on relentlessly, until one day a quarrel between the both of them during a tournament leads Tira to finally break down.
Yet, upon meditating one last time in front of the golden statue next to her father’s grave at the temple, lamenting and thinking back on the tragedy that moved her on this impossible path 15 years ago, the statue mysteriously starts cracking down, revealing a beautiful naked Golden lion girl underneath the shattering sounds of the golden pieces.
This life changing meeting would prove to change the very Fate of the land of Taifu.
