Kung fu panda AU help
So. I was rewatching Kung Fu Panda (again) when i thought that it would be one heck of an AU for a genshin fanfic. Hence why i'm here.
So basically i have casted Gaming as Po (the parallels!!), Zhongli as master Oogway, then for the Furious Five, i have Chongyun as Tigress, Xiangling as Viper, Xinqiu as Monkey, Hu Tao as Mantis and Xinyan as Crane (i gonna change the animals though because they don’t fit at all).
So my problem is who i'm gonna cast as Shifu. Honestly i would love Xiao as shifu, but then i don’t have any Tai Lung.
My other shifu candidate would be Cloud Retainer, who definitely fits the "master" role, and i can have Shenhe as Tai Lung. But then i would make more sense to have Ganyu as one of the Five. But then it won’t feel like a group of five, rather Ganyu + 4.
So I'm pretty unsure about who shifu should be in the AU. I'll change many things from the movie, (mostly characters backstories, like Gaming isn’t adopted so i'm adding the panda arc in the AU and such) but i cannot not have any Tai Lung 😭
So would anyone have any idea? Opinions? I'm taking anything 🙏

If you're trying to gender role match specifically, then why not Uncle Tian of the Qixing? He's a Tianshu, after all, so he's certainly no slouch in combat, and he's looking for successors.
Childe could make a good Tai Lung, given Childe's constant desire to improve and his relentless pursuit of combat.
I'm not a huge Kung Fu Panda knowledge pit, but these are what came to my mind. :)
Have fun writing! I've been working on a [Genshin narrative project](https://www.reddit.com/r/TalesFromTheHoyoverse/), as well, so I know the feeling.
Wow, i have no idea who uncle Tian is lmao. Completely forgot about him.
Wait, you have a solid point. Childe sounds made for the role.
Thank you a lot! 🙏 Holy shit your project looks monumental. Good luck with it!
