The father of my tiger/mantis girl, Li_Hua, Shishaou the “orchid killer” was just a low ranking grunt for his tribe, until he was recruited to take part in the hybrid program to give birth to a warrior so his tribe could continue living after most of his tribe was contaminated by Elecrama poisoning (a form of radiation caused by the environment) that rendered the people infertile and sick.

After the birth of Li_Hua, he continued training by himself in the mountains until he met the tiger man, Nahuel. They quickly grew a friendly rivalry, into Shishaou looking up to Nahuel and vice versa.

During an attempted terrorist attack meant to destroy the city of Arceus via a bio weapon train, Nahuel sacrificed his life so that Shishaou could live for both himself and both their families as Nahuel had his daughter Kira and soon to be born Liger daughter Evalise-Mari.

The lose of his best friend caused Shishaou to reflect on himself, and decided to live and grow as a warrior to protect his family and others selflessly like Nahuel. Upon returning home, he met with a distraught Mu’ai and irate Kira who in a fit of anger blames Shishaou for his death and storms off. This did not stop him from wanting to support and raise his new blended family and be the man he wanted to be.

The mantis trained tirelessly to become strong in body and mind in various techniques and weaponry. He trained Li_Hua at a young age how to use weapons alongside her pincers. Li_Hua isn’t afraid to call Shishaou her “daddy”.

After Li_Hua was sent to train with the Watchers, Mu’ai brought home Willow as their adoptive daughter. This made Shishaou nervous as he knew Willow was essentially royal decent and the feelings of inferiority comes back whenever he is near Willow as to him, Shishoau was a low ranking bug to one of the most powerful influencers in the Forest. Despite them not really talking much, Willow also respects him as she sees Shishaou contain the qualities that her biological father had.

When Evalise was born, she considered him her father despite knowing her real father passed. She still clings to him whenever she sees him; like her own father. Due to her being born for her circumstances, he spoils her the most with little trinkets and buys her beautiful dresses. But of course knows the times for saying no.
