Appearance
Xin is what is known as a "Strawberry" or "Golden Tabby" tiger, a form of semi-leucism. Her markings are much lighter than what is expected of regular-colored tigers. The spots around her face are darker than the rest of her body, giving her a front to back fade.
As a South China tiger, Xin is smaller than the more common Siberian or Bengal tigers, though she still remains a formidable force regardless.
I don't have any art for her currently (I'm working on it!) so, here's an image for reference for what Strawberry tigers look like:
History
Xin was really born on the 27th of May, 1684 in a small chinese city. She grew up training to perform in a travelling act that abused their tigers regularly. Xin died in a fire caused by an accident during one of the performances in 1688, where then she was subsequently reincarnated into Canis Major. The performance was usually about the "Five Elements" mythos in Chinese Folklore, which Xin references a lot in her posts.
