Meet, Dan-zi; but you can call her Danni. Translates from the Chinese language as 'courage'

This character was inspired by my Chinese calender symbol- The Tiger- element of fire. I've combined the information that I found and focused on what best represents me and this character :3

Enjoy the read and the image.

Magnetic and self-possessed, Tigers are born leaders symbolizing bravery, competitiveness, unpredictability, passion, rebellion, and independence. They have an air of authority that prompts others to fall in line, which is exactly how they like it. They’re able to generate excitement in others and are considered excellent leaders- the best job for a Tiger are those that will lead them towards positions of leadership and dominance. When Tigers speak, others listen and do what they’re told! Although they are magnetically charming and fun to be around, Tigers like to go it alone sometimes too. A Tiger's main interest is in following its ambitions. Tigers are courageous beyond compare and generally come out ahead in battle, be it in the boardroom or the bedroom- in most aspects they have a hidden agenda. Tigers love to be challenged and will accept any challenge if it means protecting a loved one or protecting their honor. They don’t worry about the outcome because they know they’ll always land on their feet. Don’t let their calm appearance fool you; Tigers will pounce when they feel it’s necessary. They experience mood swings and often feel things more intensely than others, the latter quality being both good and bad. But they will never give up no matter how frustrated they may become. It is interesting that their two main features are rashness and hesitation, a pair of contradictions. If they know how to relax and do things according to the situation, they can become quite successful.

People born in the Year of the Tiger take pride in being different than others, and generally illustrate their originality best in their homes, through their craft, and/or passions. Tigers will never bore their partners. They’re expressive, polite and trustworthy, but watch out- they tend to dominate the bedroom. Partners need to be equally active to keep up with the Tiger’s sense of adventure. Seduction is one area where the Tiger is definitely king or queen! Noble and warm-hearted, Tigers have a natural, raw appeal that's extremely attractive to other signs. They're not just about attraction, though; ever on the side of right, Tigers will fight the good fight to the bitter end if the cause is worthy. Opponents are wise to fear this feline. They have a slight tendency to be selfish but overall, Tigers are extremely generous towards others. They’re very intelligent and they’re always on alert. Tigers are very charming and are well-liked by others and are not motivated by money or power.

Tigers are compatible with a Dog and a Horse and are incompatible with a Goat and an Ox.
