( Old)Master Viper

Name: Viper Female Green tree viper Appearance:EYE COLOR Emerald green SCALE COLORS Lime green, black, brown, and white OTHER ATTRIBUTES Two lotus flower clips on her head; three white beads on her tail; tattoos of Chinese letters along her back Character lore:Master Viper is a supporting character in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, a green tree viper with emerald green eyes and lime green, black, brown, and white scales. She has two lotus flower clips on her head, three white beads on her tail, and tattoos of Chinese letters along her back. Born as the daughter of Great Master Viper, she was born without fangs, which disappointed her parents, but she blossomed into a talented ribbon dancer and kung fu master of the Viper Style of kung fu. She is also known as Master Viper and is a member of the Furious Five, the Dragon Warrior Po, the Dragon Warrior Zhen, and the Viper Clan, residing in Viper's village and the Jade Palace in the Valley of Peace. She is a daughter of Great Master Viper, with an unnamed mother and sisters, and was first seen in Kung Fu Panda. Voiced by Lucy Liu in films, shorts, and TV series, she is known for her agility and subtlety, often fighting without the need to bite. As a young viper, she demonstrated bravery by saving her father from a gorilla bandit using her ribbon dancing skills, which she used to confuse and defeat him. She joined Tigress, Crane, Monkey, and Mantis after an accident involving scrolls, eventually earning Shifu's approval and training alongside her friends. Throughout the series and films, she trains with Shifu, participates in the Dragon Warrior Tournament where Po is unexpectedly chosen as the Dragon Warrior, and fights to protect the Valley of Peace from Tai Lung. She has a close bond with Po, respects her master Shifu, and is recognized for her grace, reflexes, and fighting skills, often using her flexibility and ribbon dancing techniques in combat. More than just a fighter, she is also a ribbon dancer and a good friend to Po, often showing kindness and camaraderie with her fellow kung fu masters. Personality:Viper is the "mother hen" of the group. It takes a cool head and a warm heart to manage the sometimes conflicting personalities of the Furious Five. But don't let her gentle nature fool you. Viper is a lightning fast warrior capable of taking down the most intimidating foe. Her power lies in her strength, her sinuous nature, her precision... Oh and then there's that deadly strike of hers.[6]

Kung-fu-panda2-disneyscreencaps.com-3083 Viper states to Po about his "daddy issues". In defiance of the villainous stereotype of snakes, Master Viper is the most charming, kind, compassionate, and sweetest of the Five, as demonstrated with her quickly developing empathy for Po as his indomitable tenacity became obvious.[7] She also demonstrates a great deal of dislike for displays of cruelty or injustice. This is especially presented when she (undercover with Po and the rest of the Five) urged Po to do something when she saw a sheep in trouble, and was also the first one to resort to violence once the cover is blown. She also tries to break up a fight between Tigress and Po, even pleading with Po to stay down after he was knocked down by Tigress.

Fighting style:Viper's style is flexible, fluid, moldable, elastic, and explosive, with her ability to contort into any shape making her nearly impossible to hit. She uses her lightning-fast reflexes to avoid blows before counterstriking and, by wrapping her body around opponents’ limbs, harnesses their energy for deadly efficiency. Her natural snake-like attributes give her an advantage over most opponents; her speed and flexibility, honed through hours of training on the Field of Fiery Death, allow her to wrap around foes and overpower them, often making it difficult for enemies to land a single blow—such as when she coils around Shen's wolves to avoid arrows or a mace. One of her signature moves involves coiling around an opponent’s arm and pulling it forward, causing them to punch themselves in the face, a technique she developed after using it on a gorilla bandit as a child. She has also employed the "Puppet of Death," a move where she manipulates unconscious opponents holding weapons, sometimes with assistance, to swing their weapons at enemies. Additionally, she uses "Stars of Destiny," involving shuriken, as seen during the Winter Feast at the Jade Palace. Viper can swallow large objects, consistent with her species, and her swimming abilities are impressive—she can keep pace with Crane in flight, support Tigress on her back, and stay afloat easily, demonstrating her versatile prowess in combat and movement.
