This is an Zero Context Example. While I feel this trope does apply to Kai, you can't just say "all Kung Fu Panda villains are cool, 'nuff said".

I read the artbook, this is not true. All it says is that she was betrothed to Po and obssessed with marrying him, then gave that up to become a warrior. This is also backed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson saying they wanted to "tease" Mei Mei as a love interest, only for her to be her own person. She also said she prefers if Tigress is an independent character rather than being a love interest for the KFP 3 promotional tour. There IS concept art of Mei Mei gifting Tigress a blue dress, but it is not a wedding dress. Wedding dresses in China are red, not blue.

** Ironically, the originally reviled subplot of Po having an ArrangedMarriage with Mei Mei, has gained more support from Po/Tigress shippers lately. This is because, now more people are aware that one concept art had the subplot ending with Mei Mei, realizing of the bond that Po and Tigress had and deciding to step aside, which is the closest any of the movies had been of canonizing the pairing.

** Most of the Panda Village characters besides Li come off as this, largely being gag characters without a lot of individual development and screentime. Bao in particular was used in a lot of marketing for the film despite just being one of many comic relief kids within the village. This does get partially rectified in the ''Paws of Destiny'' TV series, which gives more screentime to several of the pandas.
