Lina

History

Evidently a traveller with an uncertain history. What is evident is that she has lived a long while and experienced much, leading to a neither good nor bad view of matters. Being a self-interested individual, she has followed her whims to many locations and may be the cause of various disappearances over the course of several centuries.

Prior to this, evidently lived in a siheyuan with other foxes as a technical or actual family, parties and ornate elements existent, correlating to narratives in myth. With the passing of time, this however ended, and she went on her own path, gaining capacity from the moon and stars whenever night fell.

With increasing interference, she has however realised that she cannot live for very long without further attempts to maneuver the landscape.

In an indirect manner, she began stealing back from those she viewed at fault.

Has evidently been around multiple locals for some time, not only Verona but other nearby cities. Disappearances still have relevance, the individuals in question not found. Despite keeping aware of matters in order to preserve her own interests through that of others, she does not say much about what she does otherwise.

Most worked with are subtly uneasy when she is around, if aware that she has capability to turn about abruptly.

Trivia

Alike to others present around the comune, her name may not be genuine. The reasoning for this is not often questioned.

It is frequent that a title may not have not mattered or meaning had worn away. Other possibilities exist beyond either concept that do not matter actively.

She is frequently aware of matters and often takes routes around the city for various purposes. Locating and destroying factors that can be considered hazardous is occasional as a direction.

Can be indirectly judgmental, although not affecting anything but a pause on occasion to display disagreement.

Knows a variety of languages, most at least with a moderate proficiency. The number is uncertain, although dialects are easily switched between when perceived as necessary.

Has five tails, making it evident she has either had a long life or accomplished much.

Most or all are usually hidden, whichever is better situationally for pretense. Deceit, to avoid trouble or cause it, is often relevant.

Likes to draw what she has seen evidently, most likely as a physical reminder of where she has been. In the time she has spent around Verona, she has accrued various sketches of the scenery and structures it encompasses.

Appreciates finer things and appears to manipulate others toward that means when relevant, albeit does not have a considerable interest in relevancies.

Does not confirm or deny references to the past, instead remaining silent or running conversation along related channels. Considering her familiarity with hospitality and opulence, however, may have lived with other foxes at some timeframe in housing, siheyuan and other dwellings referenced in myth.

She has an evident space allocated to her for various purposes. Her current residence is uncertain in location.

Has some skill in artistry, evident by her sketches and related attempts to pass the day on occasion.

Seems motivated by self-interest and gratification. For various reasons (and to lessen the duration spent around relevant terrain potentially, risk present through outer factors) at times has collaborated with individuals who would allow for capability situationally.

Usually a loner, but she does not overlook the importance of welfare and support.

May partly be a reason for disappearances. Along with causing virtue subjectively, variously, she is walking a moral line in terms of gathering spiritual energy through possession and related theft.

Not driven by intent for harm directly, albeit self-interested and promoting that regardless. In mentality, callous disregard exists, viewing others as a means.

The methods in which she tricks others varies. This can include using preoccupied individuals to lead others astray, aside from stealing life energy, or Qi, if not enacting other deceit. Not all have to be human to have spiritual potential.

With awareness that centres of activity feature networks of individuals, there may be a priority to obtain what others would not miss. May be targeting (or have targeted) locations alike to Verona, causing complication in a nondescript sense.

Communication may be sparse between locatives due to most systems remaining autonomous, except for individual meetings or conclaves. It is not unrealistic she has caused significant difficulty without awareness resulting.

Relating to mythological contexts of huli jing having an awareness ambiently of matters as they occur, she may be ‘inexplicably’ aware of occurrences as they happen within a relative vicinity.

May not have to be that near others to draw energy with the capability over wind and air, if minimal as a loss.

Being able to become mist and otherwise dubious in form, pulling air and energy from others could be viable ambiently while assuming relevant states, if this does not occur through influence over wind and air itself. This may require considerable focus and situational capability, and would be mostly viable by catching others unaware.

She infrequently scares persons collaborated with, but does not steal from them specifically for convenience and to avoid complication. Leaving someone as an inert husk or dust is rare, but not explicitly averted from.

Qi can be interpreted as the capability for change, and the energy that encompasses that potential. By stealing relevant potential, the husks she leaves behind disintegrate rapidly; the energy holding base components together missing.
