#tigresse

New leash 🐆

When Rose was 8, she created her first pet, a stitched together pig, smarter than a regular hog, stronger, and with triple the lifespan. Her sisters were so excited about it, and asked her to make them pets as well, which she happily agreed to do. When Marinette and Adrien joined the family, she made them pets as well.

Pigella the Frankenpig

Owner - Rose Lavillant

A pig who's just as brainy and perky as her owner. She loves to bounce around, eat oatmeal, and help Rose invent all sorts of gadgets! She also helps all of her fellow Frankensiblings as the oldest member, even if only by a few months. Her favoite sister is Tigresse, who loves giving Pigella rides on her back.

Tigresse the Frankentiger

Owner - Juleka Couffaine

Yes, it is perfectly normal to have a pet tiger as a vampire. Tigresse is a wise, calm and intimidating creature who serves as the muscle of the group. She has a soft spot for her family, children, and owners. Yet she will swipe back if you try to pet her without earning her trust. It's also foolish to disturb her slumber, as her siblings do all the time. Tigresse helps her owner during feeding trips, as well as brooding alongside her. She refuses to eat mice, due to them reminding her of Poly. Pigella is her favorite and they snuggle all the time.

Rena the Frankenfox

Owner - Alya Cesaire

Rena is a playful, inquisitive fox with a tendency to snark at people. She's a trickster and loves messing with her owners and siblings. As with all the other pets, she loves scaring people with her owner, and helping them out. In Alya's case, she assists with the blog and looking after the scarabs. She's one of the fastest in the group, and has an adorable rivalry with Bunnyx. She loves a good race around the house, and challenges her family all the time.

Bunnyx the Frankenrabbit

Owner - Alix Kubdel

Just like her owner, Bunnyx is a little rebel who loves to rile everyone up. She loves watches, doing dares, and time travel for some odd reason. Bunnyx still has a protective side for her siblings, and can fight with much bigger foes. She has a naughty habit of swiping stuff from others as a prank alongside Ryuko. Her and Alix love going on runs and gazing at a full moon.

Poly the Frankenmouse

Owner - Mylene Haprele

The mouse is a bit shyer than her phantom owner, but can still be as dramatic. She may be small, but can even frighten Tigresse when she tries hard enough. Poly prefers lurking in the shadows, swiping cheese and scurrying off after a good scare. She loves all kinds of music, but especially opera, and always listens to her owner playing spooky and beautiful tunes on her pipe organ, and she'll ask the pet for advice. Mylene is very motherly to Poly, and shows her softer side with the mouse. They like to take trips to the bakery, and whenever Mylene's flying, she'll put Poly in a little spot under her cloak.

Ryuko the Frankendragon

Owner - Kagami Tsurugi

A little dragon with a fiery temper, Ryuko is fiercely loyal to her family. She's able to use both the power of fire and water, something she's quite proud of. She does have a playful side, and does all sorts of dares and pranks with Bunnyx. Her favorites to hang out with are Scarabella and Chat, as well as Viperion, who's in the spirit realm. She's protective, and will burn or drown you for hurting who she loves. She also has a hoarding problem, albeit with random knick knacks instead of gold. Ryuko loves flying around with Kagami, as well as watching all sorts of shows and movies with her. For the love of God, don't disturb her slumber.

Scarabella the Frankenladybug

Owner - Marinette Dupain-Cheng

A very caring and kind being, always there to offer comfort. She's also got a passion for gothic novels, and loves being a creepy crawly, scaring the pants off people with her owner. She's the second youngest, and serves to make sure Chat doesn't get into trouble. She helps Marinette make potions, and serves as a wonderful queen over the scarabs, spiders, and various bugs of the castle.

Chat the Frankencat

Owner - Adrien Agreste

He's a little chaotic troublemaker with a heart of gold. Chat's the baby of the bunch, and the group tries to make sure he doesn't get into too much danger. He manages to get into the weirdest of places, and somehow always lands on his feet. Adrien sometimes has to take him outside so he can mewl to his heart's content. He has a great comradeship with Poly, and sees Tigresse as a great older sister.

Viperion the Frankensnake

Owner - Luka Couffaine

Unlike the other pets, he exists in the Spirit Realm, created by Rose's deceased biological parents, Jasper and Lilian. He's mellow and sweet, just like his owner, Luka. He gives the young vampire company, something appreciated when you're only able to contact your living family via magic. Jagged and Anarka have a pet too, Fang the Frankencrocodile, who's like a father to Viperion. They contact their pet siblings and living family every day, which makes them feel better.

I’m intrigued by the hair silhouette in the teaser for sure.

Je regarde l’avenir différemment,

Je me projette autrement,

Ce n’est pas facile pour autant…

Mais pas non plus impossible, finalement…

Et puis tout est une question de temps…

La force du tigre sera en moi…

J’espère suffisamment longtemps, ça je ne sais pas…

Mais ce que je sais c’est qu’elle ne m’abandonnera pas…

Et que je rebondirai telle une tigresse

Face à toutes ces bassesses…

La force du tigre,

Me permettra enfin d’être libre…

Grâce à elle je continuerai d’avancer,

Pour mieux triompher…

Telle est ma volonté…

Quant à l’œil du tigre, lui aussi aura son rôle à jouer pour m’aider,

Il viendra me renforcer, me réconforter si jamais je venais à douter…

Il m’empêchera de sombrer où de me faire manipuler…

Il me protègera du mauvais…

Pour que je puisse enfin me relever sans me retourner sur un passé que je voudrais oublier…

Et je sais qu’il restera mon fidèle allié…

Contre tous mes ennemis jurés…

Oui, la force tranquille du tigre,

Me rendra encore plus libre et insoumise,

Libre pour retrouver mon sourire,

Libre pour à nouveau continuer d’écrire…

Libre pour me sentir revivre…

Libre de parler sans être muselée…

Libre de penser sans être condamnée...

Libre d’accomplir ce qui me plaît sans être jugée…

Libre de rugir si on veut me bafouer où m’humilier…

Libre et toujours libre même dans le pire…

Exactement comme toi mon Cher et majestueux Tigre…

The Tiger-Woman came to me When dusk was close and men were dull. She beckoned from the jungle-path; I followed, dreaming, fanciful.

The Tiger-Woman’s face is pale, But oh, her speaking eyes are dark. No beast can move so lithe as she Beside the matted river’s mark.

The jungle is a fearsome place For men who hunt, and men who slay, But I was not afraid to go Where Tiger-Woman led the way.

The Tiger-Woman’s lips are thin; Her teeth are like the Tiger’s teeth. Yet her soft hands are woman’s hands, And oh, the blood beats warm beneath.

She led me to a little glade,— The creepers with the moon inwove,— And two great striped beasts leaped up And fawned upon her breast in love.

The Tiger-Woman’s voice was sweet; I hearkened and was not afraid. She stroked the Tigers’ fearful jaws; Upon their heads my hands I laid.

And all the jungle things drew near, And all the leaves a music made Like spirits chanting in a choir Along the bamboo colonnade.

Too sweet for human harps to sound, It touched my blood, it fired my heart The Tiger-Woman sang, and I Sang too, and understood her art.

She kissed the Tiger’s snarling mouth. She kissed—I marveled that she could— But now her lips were warm on mine; I cared not they were dabbed with blood.

What if the traveller shuns my hut, What if the world forgets to be, What if I have the Tiger’s heart,— The Tiger-Woman loveth me!

So y’all remember Ayaka from this post here well Ayaka is also being used in my oc retelling Wings of Miraculous where she is still a teacher and still has the tiger miraculous which I most likely butchered trying to draw.
