Who is Tawu?

-Tawu is a Bengal Tiger. He was a gift to Chris from his wife Julie on their first Valentines Day together as a dating couple. He originally held a red pillow that he claims was inscribed with the words, “Wild Animal, Tawu.” Others claim the pillow said something about Valentines Day and Love. The pillow was torn from his paws in a tragic accident while driving back from a show in the Pocono Mountains. Tawu originally had a red collar covered in hearts. He has since traded his original collar for a new leather collar with cutout, gothic stars. He insists that it makes him look tougher. Tawu has two adopted Tiger children named Manny and Morian. He named the tigers after characters in his favorite movie, Brotherhood of the Wolf. His love of the movie runs so deep that he wears a bracelet on his wrist similar to the bracelet that the main characters of the movie wear. Like the characters’ bracelets, Tawu claims his bracelet has magical healing powder stored inside of it. However, the staff at Woodloch Pines resort who gave Tawu the bracelet while Chris was performing there make no claims to its healing powers. Tawu’s tail is pierced as evident by his stylish, curved, metal tail ring. Although he spends most of his day sleeping, Tawu does enjoy and dislike quite a few things as listed below.
