The Fire Tiger personality
Fire Tiger brings bold will, fast instincts, and a warmer, more expressive edge.
A Fire Tiger stands out from other Tigers by being more outward, animated, and quick to act. Tiger is naturally brave, independent, and protective, with strong Wood energy underneath. Add Yang Fire on top, and that steady inner conviction becomes more visible: this Tiger tends to lead from the front, speak plainly, and move with urgency.
