Cute and Ferocious

Cuteness and ferocity are two sides of the same binary, cute behaviour can actually defuse ferocity like putting out a fire.

Cute is basically (and not only as an infantile concept but also adult in especially the phenomenon of kawaii but it does sometimes get blurred) anything said or done from a perspective of considering yourself small and weak uttered in a manner of "I'm so helpless yet very friendly".

It is surprisingly complex and actually a huge boon to master as it actually can resolve many tense situations and difficult encounters. 

Ferocity is more like an anger on steroids involving losing a degree of self control. In that regard it's like being possessed by a hurricane! Ferocity serves the function of an unrelenting manner of self expression and can be tamed, especially via a cute encounter, to mere fierceness. Fierce is a useful concept and can be even used even adopting that the pen is mightier than the sword. Like "use your words" can be embodied by a fierce stance or countenance or verbalisation. It's actually a fascinating dichotomy!
