No matter the obstacles they face, these characters will never give up.
What elements can represent the Tiger?
In Chinese element theory, each zodiac sign is associated with one of the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
Metal Tiger: Women are very enthusiastic; men are indecisive, stubborn, and feminized. These tigers are said to be family-orientated. They have smooth careers, but must not become overconfident. With patience and tolerance, they’re more than capable of living a carefree life.
Water Tiger: They have a strong sense of self-esteem and learning ability and are straightforward animals that don’t like to hang around. They work hard and go after what they want.
Wood Tiger: Compassionate, expansive, and open. These Tigers are very honest and never have too much to worry about.
Fire Tiger: Optimistic and independent, with poor self-control. These Tigers are often composed and enjoy gaining knowledge. They will meet many supportive and helpful figures during their lifetime.
Earth Tiger: Adventurous and realistic, with strong faith who often goes to extreme lengths but can swing from coldness to warm enthusiasm very quickly. They are also said to be extremely intelligent and will always chance upon a good opportunity later on in their life.
