The male tiger, Honghuo, symbolizes prosperity. The Asian tiger had long been extinct, leaving few of Asia's iconic animals. Therefore, humans used genetic technology to clone two tigers, one male and one female. Honghuo, a bionic tiger with a distinctly Oriental style, sported red and gold fur. He was intended as a family pet. Therefore, based on Eastern auspicious symbols, he was named Honghuo, meaning "red, prosperous, and fiery red flame."

The female tiger, Ina, was the first to be successfully cloned and is considered Honghuo's mother. Seeing Honghuo, Ina was heartbroken because his genes had been completely altered. She had no affection for humans, but she still had a deep maternal love for Honghuo.
