Description

• Name: Nie Shengyao (Gentle and tender voice that will die prematurely)
• Age/Height: 19/5’6”
• Element: Wind
• Hometown: Zuyao
• Weapon(s): Paper Lanterns

Personality: A bit sarcastic, flirty, serious, yet fun. Shengyao has been known to change personalities at the drop of a hat, and very few people have seen the true depths of her character. A rather flighty individual, Shengyao has been kindly called crazy and more bluntly referred to as ‘that psycho lady who bit me last week’. She always knows more than she lets on, and it’s a good idea to become one of her favorite people so she’ll tell you things. The more she likes you, the less cryptic her information will be. In summation: Shengyao’s like a crazy Cheshire Cat with the Queen of Hearts for a conscience… except Asian.

Biography: Shengyao was born to a singer mother and a travelling priest in the middle of the bustling city of Zuyao. Needless to say, she has never seen nor wanted to see her father, and her mother shared exactly that sentiment. In fact, her mother hated Shengyao’s father for leaving so much that she cursed her daughter to hopefully die early. Ironically, Shengyao outlived her mother at the measly age of four. Left alone in the world, she turned to the common refuge of many an orphan: stealing. Small for her age, Shengyao was able to get into places others couldn’t. When she was eleven, she attempted to rob the house of a rather modest Adept. In the resulting scuffle, Shengyao’s Adept powers were revealed and the old Adept took her under is proverbial wing.
In an attempt to tame her, the Adept bound her with Adept made iron shackles, unable to be cut or removed without the key. Shengyao, desperate for the key and her freedom, agreed to do whatever the old man wanted her to do until she became a reformed and civilized individual. The old man died when Shengyao was fourteen, gasping the secret of the key with his last breath. Shengyao turned to dancing, for some mad reason no one has been able to figure out, not so slowly losing the civil graces the old man taught her.

Other:
The key to Shengyao’s shackles is hidden in the trust and faith of a warrior of the light, revealed by the sound of paper lanterns ringing. (Clearly she’s not getting out anytime soon. Really. Do not try. It’s this weird for a reason.)
The shackles leave just enough room for Shengyao to go walk and climb stairs normally. For everything else, she’s learned to use the wind.
Her last name means 'whisper'.




:iconadept-stone: Join this club. Because that is what she is for. ^_^

Yes, I know she's a red head in China. I like her this way. I also know her colors scream fire. Well.. hate to break it to ya... BUT THERE'S NO DRESS CODE. Considering her occupation... this is fine.
