** Kizarasunga's biological parents sold her to a goatherd when she was a child, and said goatherd tried to rape her before a Tiger killed him to protect her. Said tiger adopted Kizarasunga and raised her for some years before Kezkaramki found and adopted her as well, but then he was killed in the war against Jaez.

to:

* ActionGirl: Kizarasunga. She had to win a fight to the death to become "Six-Feathers", and before that she was one of Zizumbir's most effective warriors in the war with Jaez.



* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: How you get to be "Six-Feathers" (Warlord) of Zizumbir. You [[KlingonPromotion challenge the "Six-Feathers" to a fight to the death]]. It is not known if you have to be a chieftain first, or if anyone can make a challenge at any time.

* IHaveYourWife: Kizarasunga takes High General Khotsu's son as her hostage, even though Gomi was the one who was supposed to offer himself as a hostage. Khotsu is not happy about this at all. [[spoiler: Later, after fighting off a failed assassination attempt by traitorous Palace Guards, Kizarasunga initially assumes Khotsu and Tazaal are behind this and threatens to harm the former's son. When she calms down and decides that they ''were not'' involved in the plot, she feels guilty for making this threat]].

to:

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Zusufala and Kizarasunga. [[spoiler:Technically they are siblings, since they were both adopted by Kizarasunga's predecessor, Kezkaramki.]]

to:

** "Zusufala" apparently means "shark", since he killed one, and wears a shark's tooth on a cord around his neck. He also has a design of a hammerhead shark on his sword sheath.



* SacredHospitality: Zizumbir believes in this, which is why Kizarasunga doesn't try to take revenge against her father's killer when she encounters him in the Jaezean Imperial Palace. It also makes it all the more egregious when Jaezean guards tried to assassinate her. [[spoiler: Said guards were all ethnicaly Gamhian, tried to kill Prince Jintu as well, and acted without Emperor Tazaal's permission or approval]].

Said tiger adopted Kizarasunga and raised her for some years before Kezkaramki found and adopted her as well, but then he was killed in the war against Jaez.
** Zusufala's entire biological family was murdered by Jaezian soldiers while he watched from hiding.



* HappilyAdopted: Kizarasunga was adopted first by a family of Tigers, and then by the previous Six-Feathers Kezkaramki. She cares greatly for her adoptive parents and siblings, both Tiger and Human.

* MamaBear: The Tigress that adopted Kizarasunga; try to harm her human cub at your own peril.



** Subverted with Jintu and his brothers. While each name is the word for a Jaezean virtue, they were only given these names because it's considered good luck for a man to have a son for each name.



* {{Pacifist}}: Averted with Zizumbir. It's religion teaches that killing a human's life is punishable with going to Hell for an amount of years stolen from the victim. In any other setting this would make the Zizumbir people pacifists, but they are more than willing to use lethal force to defend themselves and to accept the consequences of that.

The tribal nation of Zizumbir has been fending off settlers from the Jaezian Empire to their north for generations. Kizarasunga, the current warlord of the South, has been invited to meet directly with the Jaezian Emperor to finally put an end to the bloodshed.

The catch to the Emperor's plan for peace is that it requires a marriage alliance that no one is exactly keen on.

!!Tigress Queen Provides Examples Of:

* AbsoluteCleavage: Lady Razendi.
* ActionGirl: Kizarasunga.
* ArrangedMarriage: What the Emperor of Jaez has in mind to seal the peace treaty between Jaez and Zizumbir. Too bad nobody told Kizarasunga.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: How you get to be "Six-Feathers" (King or Queen) of Zizumbir. You basically [[KlingonPromotion challenge the King or Queen to a fight to the death]]. It is not known if you have to be a chieftain first, or if anyone can make a challenge at any time.
-->''Kizarasunga'': Do you know how I keep all six? I kill all the men who challenge me.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: His Imperial Majesty, Tuzaal Mriazosa, the Emperor of Jaez
* BerserkButton: Don't interrupt Kizarasunga when she's talking, and ''especially'' don't talk down to her.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Emperor Tuzaal Mriazosa has six sons (from oldest to youngest: Rantu, Kentu, Jintu, Suntu, Sintu and Sentu). The eldest (Rantu) has been effectively demoted, and the third-eldest (Jintu) has been promoted to Crown Prince.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: This exchange between Jintu and Rantu.

-->Jintu: Are you being serious?
* GreatOffscreenWar: The "Great War" that led to the creation of Jaez, roughly 300 years before the beginning of the main story.
** TheGreatPoliticsMessUp: Zizumbir was an ally of Jaez during the "Great War", but the empire came to view them as a rogue province, not a sovereign nation. The current Emperor of Jaez has decided to reverse this policy and make peace with Zizumbir.
*** The Emperor is also concerned about Gahmia, which borders Jaez and Zizumbir to the west. Due to widespread famine, Gahmia is attacking its' weaker neighbors for food and slaves. Emperor Tuzaal would prefer to avoid a war with Gahmia, but he needs to secure his southern border first. Thus, the peace talks with Zizumbir.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Zusufala and Kizarasunga.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Zusufala and Kizarasunga.
* MeaningfulName: In Zizumbir, children are not given permanent name at birth, but [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname just a nickname]] until they are old enough to develop a personality and/or do something memorable.
** "Kizarasunga" means "a beautiful, flame-colored threat". This probably refers to her actions during the war with Jaez, or perhaps how she fought her way up to become "Six-Feathers" ("Queen") of Zizumbir.
** "Zusufala" apparently means "shark", since he killed one, and wears a shark's tooth on a cord around his neck.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Kizarasunga pulls this on Gomi during his visit to Zizumbir. It seems like she was just trying to mess with him. Either that or scent-marking him (she was partially [[RaisedByWolves raised by tigers]], after all).
* RaisedByWolves: Or in Kizarasunga's case, tigers.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Emperor Tuzaal Mriazosa. Rather than continue a meaningless war, he decides to make peace with Zizumbir.
** High General Khatilo Khotsu. He doesn't like being diplomatic towards Kizarasunga, but he does his job.
* StoryReset: The author had done quite a bit of work on this webcomic several years ago, but was unhappy with the art and the story. So, she decided to start all over again. The old comic is still available as a free download.
* WorthyOpponent: Kizarasunga regards High General Khotsu as this.
