Crewmember of the Runner Alignment...Chaotic Neutral: Type One, The Hedonist AppearancePersonalityRelationshipsRumorsStoriesMusicOOCCredit [insert img] Xiaohu is short in stature and with an intensely feminine presentation. Her thick, dark-brown, hair is obsessively maintained and spills over her shoulders in rich waves. Though somewhat tanned from her travel and work on the Runner, she avoids spending too much time in the sun. Softness defines her than any real muscle definition or tone, and there is a lack of calluses or any marks of exertion and labour on her person. Her equally-brown almond eyes are usually lazily lidded like an uncaring feline with soft-angled brows. An irreverent sort of expression tends to hang off her features in social situations. Overall, her appearance is one of conventional attractiveness, though she possesses more sharp elements and a more muted palate to her compared to other Domans. Scars & Markings: A hidden scar rakes across her scalp above her left ear and behind her temple, always covered by her hair. A simplistic, small, Hingan dragon etches under it down the side of her cheek. Incomplete Munewari Irezumi: scenery of cherry blossoms, geisha, and tigers, only coloured and shaded on the right arm and torso. Voice: A mixed accent typical of citizens of Kugane accustomed to their foreign district. Picking up Ishgardian and Xaelan terms from coworkers on the Runner. Feminine, smooth, and twinged with the sly nature of the person behind it. Clothing: Xiaohu has an eye for fashion and a large selection of clothing to choose from due to her... unique occupation on the Runner. She tends to prefer loose, airy, clothing and is a fan of high-riding boots. She is not an individual for modesty, and tends for open shirts of many varieties. If relevant, she enjoys choosing outfits that are a play on Hingan customs and performance roles. Xiaohu's personality is defined by a possibly troublesome mixture of irreverence for the order of the world around her, and idealism. Incredibly self-efficate and independent, the concept that people cannot simply grasp the day, and their futures, is one that rings harsh and untrue to her ears. The trait of observation often means she picks up details heavily from past conversations, tones, and subtle body-language, for sentiments that are usually meant to be unexpressed. Her approach to conflict is often roundabout and diplomatic, if not bluffing, to escape tensions. Despite that, she is unafraid to ferociously assert her world view, especially of its idealistic portions. Everyone, regardless of their closeness to her, earns both her attentive ear in conversation and an endless font of sly, barbed, wit. Though she behaves as uncaring and perhaps aloof in the worst of ways, those that speak to her of topics close to their soul tend to earn genuine engagement even as that apathetic veil maintains itself. It is always difficult to determine if she likes someone or does not, for her treatment of others is universal in a constant flurry of her sharp tongue.

'Spoiled' his daughter due to her beauty and intellect. Died of natural causes in recent time. Jian Zhen ( ♥ ) ( NPC ) - First Brother Her elder brother.

Happenstance led to an emotionally-intense meeting years ago in Kugane, since then there has been contact on either ends. Chenglei Zhen ( ♥ ) ( NPC ) - Second Brother Her younger sibling.

High-ranking member of the associated gang. Controlling through fear and intimidation, did not willingly relinquish Xiaohu to the Runner. PC Es'mena Nenda ( ♦ ✔) ( PC ) - Captain Es'mena assisted Xiaohu in escaping life in Kugane. Though seemingly apathetic and lazy, she is intensely grateful to Es'mena and the better lot in life offered and is industrious in her own way. However, true loyalty cannot be established in so short of a time knowing each other. Prisa Fontaine ( ♥ ✔ ♦) ( PC ) - Xuetu Xiaohu is determined to encourage Prisa to loosen up in a variety of subjects and debates. Despite her aloofness amongst the Runner, she tends to seek out Prisa's presence more often than not. She is slightly antagonistic of the Doctor, but stands up for the other when needed.

Z'alyn Sanda ( ♦ ✔ ) ( PC ) - Broody Cat Co-workers on the Runner. She adores 'misplacing' his objects, especially his katana. E'leyna Summerstorm ( ♦ ✔ ) ( PC ) - Cookie Xiaohu is mistrustful of E'leyna for a multitude of reasons, but mostly the way that she hides much behind a 'dumb' veneer of personality. Still takes the time to teach the Cook Hingan-style recipes from time to time. Otolin Stone ( ♦ ✔ ) ( PC ) - Unfortunate Statue Only knows him through his association with Es'mena. This does not stop her from a relentless ribbing at his expense whenever he is within proximity.
