T is for The Tiger of Tsingtao

An enormous tiger stalks the streets of occupied Tsingtao, mauling Japanese patrols and assassinating offcials of the occupation government. The beast has been shot repeatedly, but the blood trail always simply ends somewhere, and when next it returns it is whole and healthy.

The tiger is actually a woman named Jin Tian, who sells dumplings from a small cart. Her family have been weretigers for centuries, living quietly in the backcountry of Shandong until their village was bombed into oblivion by the invading army. She went to the city to make a living and take some revenge.


Powers:
Jin Tian can turn into a tiger and back at will. Any injuries are healed completely when she changes form.

Weaknesses:
She is no more resilient than an ordinary human or tiger, depending on form. She's gotten lucky so far that none of the wounds she's taken as a tiger killed her before she could get somewhere secluded to change back.
