Feral Commissar Kassia

Sent to the mortal world in human disguise as part of Emperor Yu's competition to select a capable assistant among twelve celestial creatures, Tiger was sure she had the upper hand. Fiercely independent and ever alert, it was only natural she took up leadership of her now elite company of alpine mercenaries known as the Skyroar. Their reputation for loyalty and tenacity strikes fear into the hearts of foes far and wide. To most, this unflappable commissar was as inscrutable as their ambush tactics, but one isolated incident within their group offers some insight. After falling for a floor trap set by their enemies, Kassia insisted it was never a lapse in her judgment. She had intended this all along—by triggering the trap herself, the enemies would be lured into a false sense of achievement and accomplishment. Kassia's men attempted to evacuate her, but the feisty feline brooked no argument; further questions to her authority would constitute insubordination. Kassia continued barking orders from the pit (later coined the "Tiger Trap" by detractors, though never to her face), and the mercenaries dutifully concealed themselves in the vicinity. Official post-operation records describe the enemy being flanked by the Skyroar moments after examining their sprung trap, with the notable detail that their fearsome commissar leapt out of the pit in a single athletic jump and sank her kukri into the scout's neck. While this has done much to prove her talent for thinking on her feet, perhaps pride tells a different story—for no one, not even her sharp-eyed deputy, noticed the frazzled state of her cap-tail as she stalked away from the pit.
