2-How?

Bagheera: A black panther, born in captivity, escaped to the jungle, and became one of the most feared and respected predators.

Shere Khan: A crippled (in the book) bengal tiger, who is a man-eater because he's too slow to catch a deer or a bull or anything similarly fast without over-relying on stealth. Nothing said about his backstory beyond just being considered the most dangerous and feared predator in the jungle.

I literally can't see any similarities in the backstories of those 2 cats, and Ghira and Sienna. Ghira was the leader of the White Fang when it was more pacifist, then he stepped down, and the current leader of the now-violent White Fang is Sienna Khan. Again, I don't see any similarities. Ghira is essentially a leader of the jungle who freed himself from human captivity, but is otherwise respectful of humans. Khan is an usurper who is resentful of humans and seeks to kill them. Seems to be a decent fit in general.
