[Cute child + Beast World + no romance + genuinely a little kid]
When Tong Tong wakes up, she finds herself in a tiger’s den. Too scared to move or even cry out, she lies there like a log, eyes wide and tears streaming down her face.
Who says newborn calves aren’t afraid of tigers? I’m scared! Waaaaah!
Luckily, the tiger doesn’t hurt Tong Tong and even gives her food.
Tong Tong wants to cry but has no tears left: I don’t want to eat bloody raw meat! Mommy says it’ll make me sick.
People can summon a fierce will to survive when pushed to the brink. Being little is no problem; it won’t stop her from claiming the tiger cub as her little brother.
Tong Tong, tearfully: I’m your cub’s big sister, so you can’t eat me, okay?
When beastfolk find her and bring her back to the tribe, she’s amazed to discover that her parents are here too!
Wherever Mom and Dad are is home. And she has a library in her head, too. Let’s see how I turn the Beast World into a beautiful home.
If I don’t know how to do something, I’ll read a book. If I want to eat something, I’ll read a book. If I want to build houses and roads, I’ll read a book.
Tong Tong, you can do it!
