I rewatched KFP movies and noticed this about Tigress
When Tigress was hugged by Po and later Lei Lei, she had a confused reaction. There is a reason for this. In KFP lore, Tigress was orphaned by her parents when she was an infant and raised in Bao Gu orphanage. There, it felt more like a prison than a home. Eventually, she was adopted by Shifu, but he was cold to her. Tigress grew up deprived of love her entire life. When she was hugged by Po and Lei Lei, she didn't know how to react because she was strange to that language. She never knew what it was like to be shown affection. It is a small glimpse into Tigress background that they kind of feature in the movies.
