Authors Notes
This is my first story, so please bear with me.
This is an AU kung fu panda where in Tigress had a brother. I've always felt that she should have a brother, besides Tai Lung, who was never much of a brother anyway. I also think that it could be a leading contributor to what has made her so cold, and distant. As this is my first story and I intend to write it on my own , I ask that you bear with me. Also, it's important for you to know that this is based on both movies (kung fu panda, and kung fu panda:secrets of the ferocious five).

I don't own anything except for Pantha, Nzuri (meaning beautiful in Swahili) and Nguvu (power) (for some reason I couldn't get the translator to understand Chinese so I'm using the language that seems to make everything sound better.)
we'll start right from the end of Tigress' chapter's ending
chapter 1
Introductions
As Shifu guided Tigress back to the Jade Palace she grew tired of mimicking his somberness. She began to walk faster and chase the various wild life that happened by. Shifu growing annoyed called her back with a stern voice "TIGRESS". Feeling chastised she ran back to fall in step with her new guardian. "Sorry master Shifu. Master?" She asked quietly. "Yes Tigress?" Shifu responded. "Whats the Jade Palace like?" she asked wide eyed."I've always heard stories, but I haven't actually ever seen it." "That is like most people Tigress. Few ever look upon its hallowed halls, its hard to describe to someone who has never seen it. I can tell you this: it is a place of great mystical beauty. A place of dignity, history, a place of solemnness. You will have to wait to see it to fully understand."
So they walked on for about ten minutes until they finally reached the Jade Palace. Tigress looked around her as they stepped into the Palace, and she was dizzy from the site. "This place is beautiful" she said as she struggled to regain herself. The enormous trees, beautiful lakes, huge buildings, and massive courtyard were more than she had been ready for."Yeah, and believe me, it takes a while to get use to" came a low voice as a panther walked out of the shadows "Wh...who are you?" Tigress stammered taken aback by his size and intimidating look, completely lost in the scope of the Palace, she did not notice him. Though it would not have been easy to see him anyway, as his black coat had camouflaged him in the darkness of the night. He wore a black and red partial robe, like she herself except for the colors, with the Chinese symbol for nobelity on its front and back: she assumed that that was the symbol of where ever it was he had come also wore a black headband around his forehead, it had the symbol for honor in red at the center. She rembered, from her lessons at the orphanage, that to some group of people this meant to hold honor high. She couldent remember to who though, she typically dident pay much attention when learning social studies.
"My name is Pantha" he said stepping into the light of one of the hanging torches, and getting to one knee so as to try not to frighten the young one that Shifu had brought back with him "and you are." he asked smiling warmly at her. "My name is Tigress." She told him, less afraid now that he seemed to be friendly. "Tigress." Shifu said, she looked to Shifu, then quickly back at Pantha for a moment, who had snapped to attention as if by reflex. "This, as you have met, is Pantha" said Shifu. "Being that he is fifteen, he is soon to graduate to the rank of Master, you will treat him with respect. When I am away he will train you, he will be your mentor as well." He said looking at Tigress. He turned his attention away from her and toward Pantha. "This, Pantha, is Tigress. She will be living here from now on. You will be her mentor, and through teaching her you will learn as well. You will show her to her room." Shifu turned his back on the two, and walked toward a lone peach tree off in the distance. "So your going to be staying here now huh?" Pantha said smiling brightly down at Tigress. "Well it's great to have you here. You tired?" Pantha asked. Tigress really wanted to see the rest of the Jade palace, but as she thought about it she realized that she truly was. This made sense to her, she really did have a long day. She had made friends with almost the entire orphanage, then when the prospective parents had came they still avoided her. Even though she had spent so much time training to control her strength, they were still afraid of her. She had lost all of the friends that she had just made, and was about to give up hope when Shifu came and adopted her. She was glad to have a parent, but he seemed distant, she was afraid that she still wouldn't have company. Then she had met her new brother and he was really friendly. She was really happy to have him around too."Mhmm" she mumbled."Ok then let me show you to your new room." As they walked off she found herself looking at something about him that had been troubling her. He had three scars going straight down his left eye, from his brow to about a half inch beneath his eye, and he didn't seem to be able to open it.
Well What did you think, please review to let me know.
