(The sheep who was nearly attacked by a wolf in KFP2, but later saved by Po, has an unknown name. I’ve just decided to choose the name Lihua because it’s a beautiful female Chinese name, so, yeah)

Lihua sheep awoke with a throbbing headache. As her eyes rolled open, she moaned. Looking around her, she could see her beloved noodle shop was in ruins. Food lay everywhere, all the metal cookery was gone, and a small fire was catching on her curtains. Lihua rubbed her head and stood, pushing past her pain to try and get the flame doused.
Lihua grabbed the nearest dish cloth that was still moist and threw it onto the small flames, then hit it repeatedly with her palms until the fire was out. Looking at her scorched hands, she felt the emotions of all that had happened wash over her, and sat down and wept. A couple (horned creatures) peeked around the door, noticed Lihua was there, and rushed in towards her.
“Lihua!” One of them called out, the female of the couple. Lihua allowed herself to be hugged by the two (blanks)’s, and composed herself for their presence. “Thank god you are alright, we heard there were bandits—are you hurt?”
Lihua shook her head. “No, I’ve just lost everything…”

Po and Tigress left the Soothsayer the next morning, heading west. The two didn’t speak much as they trekked across forest and mountainous terrain, but there was a general sense of wellbeing between the two Masters. Po noticed there was more of a peace in the air. He attributed that to the lack of tension Tigress and Po had between them. If Po wasn’t working so hard he may have whistled as they ran, but his lungs were working too hard anyway to help him breathe.
One afternoon, Tigress stopped at the top of a snowy mountain peak and looked down. Po stopped, and Tigress pointed out. “There.” She said simply.
Po looked out to where Tigress had indicated, and there, beyond the mountain a little ways, was the dessert. “Oh man,” Po said, “that looks like a lot of sand. How much water did we bring?”
“Po.” Tigress said, turning towards him, “we travel the dessert by night. That way we won’t have to consume too much water. I have enough for a week. How about you?”
“Um,” Po rummaged through his pack, “maybe three days.”
Tigress sighed. Finally she spoke. “We can share.” She said as simply as before, then slid down the mountain side. Po watched Tigress go, sliding on her two feet, and leapt after her. Trying to keep himself up was harder for him than he anticipated, and soon he was gaining in his travel down the mountain by continual rolling. Po landed at the bottom, halting his rolling, and Tigress slid beside him. She helped him up, receiving a “thank you”, and followed Po towards the upcoming dessert.
Lihua observed the kung fu lesson that was about to commence with a little worry in her eyes. The strength and speed at which the Gongmen Kung Fu practitioners worked was intimidating for her. She also worried that she’d embarrass herself even more by attempting to rise to their level.
“Lihua?” Came a voice.
Lihua turned and was startled to see Master Storming Ox standing there. Lihua nervously bowed. “H-hello Master Storming Ox.”
“What are you doing here?” Ox asked, genuinely confused.
“I, I,” Lihua said, taking an involuntary step back.
“I heard about your noodle shop being raided.” Ox said. Lihua nodded.
Ox seemed to get the message. “Are you coming here for training?”
Lihua nodded.
Ox smiled. “Come.” He said, sweeping her towards the Gongmen City Kung Fu palace, which was almost fully constructed.
Standing at its entrance, away from the other practitioners, Ox stood before Lihua.
“Before we begin,” Ox said, “do you believe size matters?”
Lihua looked up at Ox’s frame. She did indeed believe size mattered. “Y-yes.” Lihua said.
Ox smiled and shook his head. “It doesn’t. I may be much larger than you, but I’m slow. Your smaller frame and coordination could easily outmaneuver me.” Lihua was surprised to know this.
Ox sat down. “Have a seat Lihua.”
Lihua sat.
“Not all of Kung Fu is about fighting. It’s about developing yourself to combat your greatest fears. I could tell you were a little nervous when you entered this place.” Lihua looked down at the ground.
“It’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Ox continued, “I was frightened myself. I was sure my,” Ox chuckled, looking down at his stomach, “overly large figure would be a hindrance or a hilarity. Turned out it was neither. When I learned to develop what strength I did have, my size didn’t matter so much. Now, like I said before, I’m slower. Someone small like you could outmaneuver me easily.” Ox stood, and Lihua followed suit. “Now,” Ox said, taking a stance, “try to hit me.”
