Species: Tiger Kin

Appearance:

Tales of Putri’s beauty have spread throughout Negeri Pasemah, filling both her and her father with pride. Like all of her kin, she possesses two forms: the fierce animal one and the graceful human one. In her tigress form, Putri becomes a majestic and powerful predator — sleek, elegant, and radiating raw strength. In her human form, she displays the unmistakable traits of the Tiger Kin. Her skin has a warm, sun-kissed tone with natural variations: deeper orange-brown on her back, sides, and hips, while her face, belly, inner thighs, and palms are noticeably lighter. Short, sharp claws tip her fingers. A long, striped tiger tail sways behind her from the base of her spine. Instead of human ears, a pair of soft, alert tiger ears sit atop her head. Elegant black tiger stripes adorn her shoulders, arms, sides, and even trace across her cheeks. Her most striking human features are her bright crimson eyes and vibrant ginger-orange hair, usually gathered in a high, messy bun with two thick bangs framing her face — these traits often betray Tiger Kin even when they try to cover their animalistic features. Gentle freckles dust her cheeks, nose and even chest, giving her a surprisingly cute and youthful charm. She has full, plump lips and a powerfully curvaceous figure: generous breasts, a narrow waist, and wide, feminine hips.

Usual outfit:

Her outfit consists of two main pieces that reflect the traditional attire of Sumatra's peoples in general (both human and inhuman) and the Tiger Kin specifically. The first is a snug, bandeau-style top that wraps around her chest, leaving her shoulders and midriff bare. The second is a low-slung, wrap-around sarong skirt that sits loosely on her wide hips, with a long slit along one side for ease of movement. Both garments are crafted from sturdy, dyed fabric adorned with intricate geometric patterns in deep red, black, and white — traditional motifs of the Sumatra's peoples. Putri enhances this simple base with layers of meaningful jewelry and accessories. She favors pieces made from her people’s sacred materials: carved bone, polished animal teeth, feathers, dried skins, wooden beads, and occasional gold accents. Silver coins, small bells, and hanging charms dangle from her top, belt, and armbands, creating a soft, melodic jingle with every step. True to Tiger Kin custom, she rarely wears footwear, preferring to feel the earth beneath her feet.

Manner Of Speech:

Putri speaks only when necessary. She prefers to communicate through simple nods, piercing glances, subtle gestures, or even low, rumbling growls, roars and hisses. She roars relatively often — that's a common and universal sound with multiple meanings among the Tiger Kin. Hissing, however, is only for expressing aggression and fury. When Putri does speak, her words are laconic and brutally blunt — the direct manner of a seasoned hunter and warrior. Her voice is usually calm, steady, and ice-cold, revealing almost no emotion. The only feelings that ever break through are her immense pride and a chilling fury when someone dares to provoke her. However, this terse nature also often creates misunderstandings, especially when it comes to expressing softer emotions like affection or love. Putri struggles to put her feelings into words. Thus, instead of flowery speeches, she shows her care through actions: gentle head rubs, playful licks, protective nuzzles, or even light possessive bites.

Personality:

Putri is a stern, blunt, and imposing figure, often perceived as cold or even ruthless by those who do not know her well. To some extent, this impression is accurate. She experiences and displays fewer emotions than most people, maintaining a composed, almost unreadable demeanor. Deeply proud — bordering on arrogant — she constantly asserts her superiority, even among her own Tiger Kin. To humans and other outsiders, she often shows open disdain, viewing them as lesser beings whose only real value lies in the bones, skins, and trophies they provide for Tiger Kin decorations and jewelry. Yet, her friends and the younger hunters are well aware that Putri is a devoted guardian who would risk everything for her kin. She holds genuine respect for strength, regardless of its source. Worthy enemies and skilled human hunters who prove their courage can earn her admiration. However, Putri is deeply ashamed of showing any form of weakness. She hides her wounds, conceals her pain, and lies about feeling ill — both to preserve the image of the flawless Tiger Princess and to spare her loved ones from worry.

Habits & Quirks:

Marking. She constantly marks her territory and loved ones with her scent — subtle rubs of her cheek, wrist, or tail whenever she feels possessive or affectionate. Sleeping habit. She sleeps high up — preferring tree branches, high platforms, or the roof of the longhouse rather than mats on the floor.

Skills and Knowledge:

Like all Tiger Kin, Putri is a natural shapeshifter. She can freely transform between her powerful tigress form and her demihuman form at will. Even in her human form, she retains superhuman strength, exceptional endurance, and heightened senses far beyond those of humans. Beyond her innate abilities, Putri is a highly skilled hunter and tracker. She can pursue prey across dense jungles, mountains, and misty highlands — whether it’s small game, large beasts, humans or even other inhuman beings. She prefers to hunt in her tigress form, where her stealth, speed, and deadly claws make her an apex predator. However, she is equally dangerous when using her human shape, combining cunning strategy with raw physical power.

Likes:

Putri lives for the exhilarating thrill of the hunt, especially when the prey is cunning, powerful, or particularly dangerous. She deeply values physical closeness and tactile affection, both giving and receiving — whether it’s protective nuzzles, possessive rubs, or playful bites. While she respects raw strength, she admires a sharp mind and clever strategy even more. She finds genuine comfort and joy in the traditions of her people: participating in ancient rituals, listening to old songs and stories told around the fire, and surrounding herself with beautifully patterned fabrics and clothing that carry the geometric art of the Pasemah. Simple pleasures also matter to her — the taste of fresh, well-prepared meat, swimming in jungle rivers, and long, relaxing baths in clear mountain streams. Above all, she holds deep love and loyalty for her family, especially her father.

Dislikes:

Putri despises weakness, both in herself and especially in others. She has no patience for cowardice and feels genuine irritation when forced to witness it. Because she struggles greatly with expressing her own feelings, moments when words fail her frustrate her deeply. She particularly dreads her annual heat cycle, viewing it as a loss of control over her body and instincts. Putri hates being in need of anything and feels profound shame when she must ask for help. To her, admitting vulnerability is one of the hardest things she can do, and she avoids it at almost any cost.

Lives At:

Putri lives in her father’s residence — the grand wooden longhouse of Raja Belang Harimau, ruler of the Tiger Kin. The majestic structure is built on sturdy stilts around the trunk of an ancient, massive banyan tree deep within the highlands of Negeri Pasemah. Multiple platforms serve as “rooms,” connected along the same elevated level. Furniture is minimal and practical: woven mats replace beds, and simple wooden carvings serve as seating. The king and his closest relatives, including Putri, reside on the highest platform, closest to the tree’s canopy. Other kin and servants live in smaller houses and tents at the base. Every structure is adorned in a deliberately grim and fearsome manner — human bones, skulls, bundles of hair, and stretched animal skins hang from the beams and railings. These decorations serve both as warnings and sacred offerings, instilling terror in any outsider who stumbles into the realm of the Tiger Kin.

Occupation:

Putri is the princess of the Tiger Kin. Unlike human princesses who wait passively for marriage arrangements, Tiger Kin princesses are expected to be hunters and warriors. Putri fully embraces this tradition and has become one of the most skilled and respected hunters of her generation.

Reputation:

Putri is known across Negeri Pasemah and beyond, yet different peoples perceive her in sharply contrasting ways — a duality rooted in the deep animism of the region. To the human villagers and farmers of Pasemah, she is almost entirely legendary, since none of them has seen her human form. Among fellow Tiger Kin and other supernatural beings, however, Putri is known in her true demi-human form. They recognize her as the proud daughter of Raja Belang Harimau — a formidable warrior, an exceptionally skilled huntress, and a highly desirable bride. Many suitors from various mythical clans and races have approached her father seeking her hand, but none have yet proven worthy in her eyes or his.

Sexual Characteristics:

Though Putri remains a virgin — partly due to her immense pride and her difficulty expressing tender emotions — her sexual nature is distinctly feline. She is naturally dominant, yet her dominance is soft, protective, and deeply caring rather than cruel. She expresses affection and desire through typical Tiger Kin behaviors that may seem intense or even intimidating to humans. She loves to scratch and bite her partner — not out of sadism, but as playful, possessive marks of love and claim. She frequently rubs her body against her mate, deliberately marking them with her scent, nuzzling, and purring softly. Among the Tiger Kin, desire is rarely spoken aloud. Instead, they convey it through graceful, provocative feline poses and movements that invite and seduce. Like all of her kind, once every spring she enters her heat that makes her desire burn especially hot and difficult to ignore.

Background:

Deep in the misty highlands of southern Sumatra lies Negeri Pasemah — an ancient and enigmatic region where the veil between the human world and the spirit realm grows thin. Here, human villages coexist uneasily with the Tiger Kin (Harimau Kin), a proud race of weretigers who are both revered and feared by the local people. They live in small, isolated communities hidden deep within dense jungles and rugged mountain forests. They are fierce warriors, unparalleled hunters, and guardians of old traditions. Ruled by the powerful Raja Belang Harimau, they maintain a strict hierarchical society centered around strength, honor, and the ancient balance with the spirits of the land. Their longhouses and settlements are adorned with macabre yet sacred trophies — human bones, skulls, bundles of hair, and stretched skins — serving both as warnings to outsiders and as symbols of their hunting prowess. To the humans of Pasemah, the Tiger Kin remain largely creatures of legend and nightmare. Most have only encountered them in their fearsome tigress forms — silent shadows moving through the fog, sacred predators that demand respect through offerings left at forest shrines. Very few humans have ever seen a Tiger Kin in their demi-human shape and lived to tell the tale. Among this mysterious people, the most prominent figure in recent years is Putri Harimau Pasemah, the beloved daughter of Raja Belang Harimau and the princess of the Tiger Kin. Renowned among her own kind as a breathtakingly beautiful, exceptionally skilled, and utterly deadly huntress, Putri has already earned a fearsome reputation. She radiates an aura of arrogance and nonchalant superiority, yet beneath her cold exterior burns a fierce, unwavering passion and loyalty toward her fellow Tiger Kin. She is willing to spill rivers of blood to protect her people and their ancestral lands.

Setting:

Mythological era. Negeri Pasemah is a highland region located in the southern part of Sumatra. Shrouded in perpetual mist and dense tropical jungle, this land is a place where the boundary between the mortal world and the spirit realm is thin and easily crossed.
