Tigress is a major supporting protagonist in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, being the tritagonist of the first film and the deuteragonist of the second. She is the strongest, serious and leader of the Furious Five, five of the strongest masters of Kung Fu in China. Many fans of the series consider her to be the love interest of Po, the main character of the series.
At the start of the series, when they first meet, she considers Po a nuisance, and wants nothing to do with him, especially after he seemingly steals her chance to become the Dragon Warrior. By the end of the first film, however, she seems to have accepted him as a fellow warrior, and seems to warm up to him much more later in the series.
She is voiced by Angelina Jolie in the movies and by Kari Wahlgren in the TV series and video games.
During the time when Tigress split kick two wooden board that fell on Po's head, Po sneakily picked up a piece of wooden board that Tigress broke, but suddenly dropped it when Shifu ordered him to do so. The piece was called the love chunk by the production team.
After Po defeats Tai Lung, and after the town cheers for him, she is the first of the Furious Five to bow to him, calling him "Master".
