Tygra

I'm going to start off with the disclaimer that, while Panthro/Cheetara is my OTP in this fandom, in a game of shag/marry/throw off a cliff, my inner Mary Sue would have a hard time deciding which of the first two to go with. Alright... enough with the Tygra love-fest, onto the fandomy stuff...

(a) three facts about her/him from my personal canon/fanon

-he's bisexual (fanon, although, you can't tell me that wasn't a tad bit suspected from some canon stuff...)
-he probably would have made a better Lord of the ThunderCats (fanon opinion, but with canon justification, except for one little detail that gets mentioned in the suckage section below)
-there's something fun about pushing him off a cliff/writing about emo and angsty with him/etc, despite the fact I love the character (I guess we tend to hurt the ones we love, isn't that a quote or something?)

(b) a reason s/he sucks
Addict, much? Sheesh... however, it did allow for THE trippiest episode of the first season (so much so, I recall Cartoon Network editing it for broadcast... funny how nekkid cheetah boobies are okay, but not a high tiger...)

(c) a reason s/he is awesome
Sure, Panthro could fix or build about anything, but if you wanted someone would could do all sorts of cool science stuff, Tygra was the man. Er, cat. Umm... man-cat-guy. (Put him and Thaddeus Venture in a room together, and... nevermind, Tygra'd probably wander off to smoke pot with the Monarch...)

(e) five people s/he never fell in love with and why. (harder than it looks, because I think Tygra would have done a berbil in the right circumstances and with enough silky fruit)
all fanon stuff...
-Mandora (I don't get the feeling Mandora was playing for the home team)
-Cheetara (I'm such a Panthro/Cheetara fan, I bought extra copies of that comic that threw them together when it came out)
-Panthro (Ditto above; and, I kinda think of Tygra as more of a brother-type to Panthro in a way)
-Mumm-ra (ew...)
-Snarfer (Alright, I thought of someone he certainly wouldn't do, no matter how desperate!)
