Bio:

Born to a courtesan that fled her indentured service and died in the jungle when Momo was three years old, Momo had little hope for survival. The screaming child drew the attention of a male tiger that had recently killed it's rival and the rival's cubs.

The tiger circled the girl as it moves in for the kill. It cut off her attempts to run and roared it's triumph at it's soon to be snack. Whether it was fate, a cosmic experiment or simply luck is uncertain but the mate and mother of the rival and cubs chose to attack the male as it moves to pounce on the girl. The female collided with the cruel male in mid air as the defiant toddler stood to face her death.

The girl collapsed back in shock and hit her head on a log falling unconscious. When she woke she was in the female's den. The male had been driven off and the female had taken her. Whether to fill the void of her missing cubs or pity, the tigress claimed the child for it's own.

Life was far from easy for the girl but she had life and in a world of horrors that was nothing short of miraculous. The tigress took care of her brought her food and taught her to hunt.

Momo grew to be strong and pretty but knew little beside the language her mother had taught her. During a day hunting the tigress became the target of human hunters. Momo who was devoted to the tigress like a daughter to a loving mother would not allow harm to come to what she viewed as her parent. She began to fight the hunters, jumping from the brush she attacked them and fought so her mother could escape. The hunters shocked by the ferocious teen fled to their village and left a trail that a blind cow could follow. In curiosity she followed.

Upon arrival at the edges of the village she saw more humans than she had seen in ages. She noted a girl about her age and followed her as she walked to get water from a river. She appeared as the girl bent to fill her hug. The girl drew back and began to scream but Momo pounced on her to cover her mouth so as not to attract the hunters. The village girl passed out and never one to waste a chance Momo stripped her of her clothes and gave her woven skins in trade.

She returned to the den to show her mother what she had found but what she saw was far from a happy scene. The male tiger from years before stood over the tigress' corpse with blood on it's face. Momo decided to flee the scene and the tiger gave chase. To add to the danger the hunters also found her trail and came in large numbers to hunt the wicked forest witch with the form of a girl.
