It's not that popular. See, the Kung Fu Panda franchise mainly focuses on the relationships between the animal characters. So a fanfiction involving a human and Tigress is a bit of a stretch. Most fans are more interested in the existing relationships within the movie, like the relationship between Po and his friends or the different animal clans. But there are still a few fans out there who might be into this kind of cross - species fanfiction for the novelty factor.
Yes, it can be popular within a certain subset of the Kung Fu Panda fan community. Some fans enjoy exploring the 'what if' scenarios where a human is involved with Tigress. They might be interested in exploring how a human's different nature and abilities could interact with Tigress's strength and skills. It gives room for creative storytelling, but it's not a widely known or popular genre outside of that small group of dedicated fans.
Well, a lot of times the storylines revolve around the human being a sort of outsider who disrupts Tigress's normal life. For example, the human might accidentally stumble into the Valley of Peace and Tigress is initially suspicious but then realizes the human has a pure heart. They then embark on a journey together, perhaps to fight a new threat that neither could face alone. There are also storylines where the human has a connection to an ancient prophecy that involves Tigress, and they must figure out how to fulfill it together, with lots of character growth and adventure along the way.
In the Kung Fu Panda series, their story is mainly centered around their growth in kung fu and their friendship within the Furious Five. Po is often clumsy but has a big heart, and Tigress is the strong and serious one. They support each other in battles and in training, but not in a romantic way.
One possible fanfiction could be about Baby Tigress' training days. Maybe she was the smallest among the young animals training in the Jade Palace but had the fiercest determination. She could be shown struggling with some of the basic moves at first, like how to properly execute a paw swipe. But with time and the guidance of Master Shifu, she gradually overcomes her difficulties and starts to shine among her peers.
There could be a fanfiction where Po and Tigress go on a special adventure together. Maybe they discover a new martial arts technique that combines Po's unique style with Tigress's strength and precision. They might face a new enemy that challenges their relationship and forces them to work even closer.
In the beginning, they could be distant. The human is fascinated by Tigress but she is focused on her duties in the Valley of Peace. However, when a common enemy targets both of them, they are forced to work together. As they do, they start to understand each other better. The human's compassion and different perspective on life start to soften Tigress's tough exterior. They develop a deep bond over time, sharing their hopes, fears and dreams as they protect their home.
Well, perhaps the human is a healer who comes to the Valley of Peace to study the unique herbs there. Tigress gets injured during a fight and the human heals her. This starts their relationship. As they spend more time together, the human discovers that he has an unexpected aptitude for martial arts under Tigress's tutelage. And Tigress, in turn, learns about the importance of patience and gentleness from the human.
A fanfiction plot could be centered around a human who accidentally stumbles into the Kung Fu Panda universe. Tigress mistakes the human for a threat. The human tries to explain but in the chaos, a fight breaks out. The human, though not as strong as Tigress, is very resourceful. Tigress is impressed by the human's tenacity and they form an unlikely alliance to face a greater threat in the Kung Fu Panda world.
Their relationship could start with mutual distrust. The human might be afraid of Tigress' strength and Tigress could be skeptical of the human's capabilities. But as they face challenges together, like fighting off common enemies, they start to respect each other. For example, the human might save Tigress from a trap using their quick thinking, and Tigress in turn protects the human from a powerful foe.
One idea could be a human discovers the world of Kung Fu Panda and befriends Tigress. They go on a journey to find a long - lost Kung Fu technique. Along the way, they face various challenges that test their friendship and skills.
Another theme is the exploration of their different personalities. Po is goofy and carefree while Tigress is more serious and disciplined. Fanfictions usually play around with how these two personalities interact and influence each other. For example, Po might make Tigress loosen up a bit, and Tigress could teach Po more self - discipline. It's really fascinating to see how the authors develop these dynamics.
