Tigry

Tigry is a orange-slightly yellow tiger with black ears with white inside, an orange-white snout with short, white whiskers, a black smooth triangular nose, two eyebrows, and three black stripes covering the back and sides of his face. Although he retains pants and beret that were part of his T.S.P. uniform, he now also wears a white shirt, dark gray jacket, black gloves and a royal purple scarf. Tigry is first shown to be quiet, calm and reserved. In reality he was suffering from insecurities and anxiety from being belittled and looked down on by his family and peers. Tigry always constantly attempts to prove that he is worth more than how he is perceived. As a child, Tigry was always optimistic and tries to prove himself, even though no one cared about him, until he gets tired of trying and runs away. Tigry then enlisted in the military as an opportunity to turn his life around, though he later left due to accidentally killing his friend, Danny, thinking that he was a monster who was after him due to experiencing hallucinations. It's clear that he was traumatized after the incident, and felt guilty for what he'd done. When he first met Willow, he was scared of her at first. Before long, though, the two were close, and Tigry finally had someone to talk to, someone that would listen, however Willow would suddenly change her attitude towards him, being intimidating and bossing him around, and the two went on bad terms. Even T.S.P didn't like him, bossing him around, and he got anxiety because of it. Tigry missed Rash dearly when he gets infected, presumably even going out of his way to get the cure for him. After all that he endured, Tigry finally gets enough courage and soon chooses to stand up for himself and follow his own path, first by choosing not to stop The Safe Place group from leaving in the ending of Sewers, then taking Willow's key to her tugboat in order to travel to Doveport to get the cure for himself. Once again, he tries to show that he is more than what is seen of him, especially to Willow, by fighting her. In the Hidden Ending, after the Player stops Willow and Tigry from fighting, Tigry tells Willow that he wants things to go back to the way before, a time where they were friends, since he's tired of fighting for so long. In the ending, Willow apologizes to Tigry for mistreating him. Tigry forgives her, saying that he's giving her another chance since she's family, and the two reconcile and travel together. In the credits, the two are seen talking by the old campfire in the Alleys, seeing that they have rekindled their friendship.

History:

Early Life: Tigry was a tiger who lived in Lucella. His family wasn’t really doing good economically as his parents couldn’t afford going to the carnival. During his early years at school, he was bullied by Leon, Wally and Dane. At home, his parents were never truly proud of him at all, considering Tigry to be a disappointment or a failure, despite Tigry's achievements. His mom never paid much attention to him, while his dad was harsher, hitting Tigry if he bothered him. Overall, Tigry lived in an environment where everyone underestimated him and belittled him as nothing.

Joining the Military: Seeing how horrible his life was, Tigry ran away from home. While traveling alone, he saw a recruitment poster for the military. Seeking purpose, Tigry enlisted in the military and was trained by Sgt. Monroe, eventually fighting on the front lines with other soldiers, including Danny.

Kidnapping Zizzy: Tigry, along with Kitty, Pandy, Willow and Baren all cornered Zizzy, Pony and Anonymous User at the Old Oak after tricking them into thinking that they were going to meet friendly survivors to trade. Willow started talking about some of her past and how Pony was an ex-member of The Silver Paw. Once they took Zizzy, they locked her in a cell being heavy guarded by The Silver Paw. Tigry, trying to prove himself useful to the others, tried to catch Pony and Anonymous User who managed to break into the Refinery and evade the guards, including Tigry, and opened to cell to save Zizzy. Tigry later presumably left the Refinery and headed towards the Factory, since in the ending cutscene of The Safe Place, he is the only member of The Silver Paw who is not present.

Betraying The Silver Paw: Sometime in the Factory, Tigry suspected Willow was hiding something which he later found out was a way to get the cure then decided to go on his own path. Later when The Safe Place members escaped their jail cell, Tigry spotted them and decided to lift his arm up to throw one of his daggers at them, but decided it was not worth it. Willow saw him hesitate and pushed him aside, calling him "useless tiger", and shot Pony, only for Giraffy to save him by jumping in front of a bullet. Tigry then stole the key of Willow's tugboat and saw The Safe Place members free The Silver Paw members. Once Willow, The Safe Place members and The Silver Paw members made it outside, Willow was about to shoot the Player, but Tigry disarmed her by throwing his dagger at Willow's revolver. He then headed for her tugboat at a Port in Amberdale and departed.

Finding a Cure: When they arrived to the Docks, Willow saw that Tigry had beaten them to it. After heading to the exit, Anonymous User saw Tigry (who got dressed in more winter-appropriate clothes) crossing a platform. Tigry revealed to Anonymous User that he is looking for the cure to save an old friend of his. Tigry said that he remembers Anonymous User, and hunted them in the Refinery because he was told to, and apologized for not thinking twice. After a brief chat, Tigry found out that Willow is helping Anonymous User's team, and offered to help them if they ditch Willow. However, Anonymous User refused, saying that they cannot trust Tigry either. Tigry then left, still keeping his offer open to Anonymous User.

After the group split up to find the cure in the Lab, Willow encountered Tigry placing explosives. Tigry and Willow then started to argue about the past until they decided to fight it out. However, Willow overpowered Tigry, and tried to knock him out by suffocating him by gripping his neck. Tigry nearly passed out, but Willow became distracted by the roof collapsing on them, separating her and Tigry from Anonymous User.
