Wani
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 135 lb.
Eyes: Gold
Hair: none
Clothing: Green primitive (silk slip)
Supernatural Qualities: In her true hirayanu form, she becomes a frightening snake-woman, hair and skin vanishing and replaced by light-and-dark green mottled scales, a broad serpentine head, a flickering tongue and a pair of dangerous-looking fangs; but though her pupils dilate and turn gold, the intelligence and curiosity does not fade, as this is not a war-form (like Nagah) but the celestial body of an elemental spirit
Traits: Appearance 5 (comely)

Animal Form
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 9 lb.
Eyes: Gold
Hair: none
Supernatural Qualities: Her mundane animal form is still a sight of alarm: her green mottled scales and the dips in her serpentine head indicate she is a venomous pit viper, specifically a Mangshan viper, and not to be trifled with!

“This poetry is not for the weak of heart. Commend it to memory, as enrichment for your soul—and to study for the final.”

History


Date of Birth: November 25th, 1983
Home: Shek Wu Hui, Fanling-Sheung Shui New Town, North District, Hong Kong, China
Family: Cong Choo and Kim (parents), Chew (younger brother)
Kun Shou: Personal Tragedy (she grew up in a well-off suburban family in Hong Kong's outer suburbs, always a smart and intellectual girl and certain to lead such a future; but when she attended Hong Kong University, she started to party too hard and all but died from alcohol poisoning after a particularly crazy episode; the Fu-Hsi spirit had all but been waiting for the opportunity and took over from there), 2001
Mentor: Tao He
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (Wei remembered her Wu Hsien hui t'ung in Canton and sought them out for full guidance; they welcomed her back and helped her regain much of her memory while she decided where to go with her life from there, free of any sectarian obligations)
Comrades: Niji Komadori, Kano Choshin, Yon Lok, Yon Ha-Neul, Zhaoti Shiuan, Chang In, Han Phat, Kusuri Zen, Gaoyun Mu Tao, Haitan Lan Yazhi, Hong He, Hong Kowin, Ohatake Ikimono, Rusty Min-zhe, Saravan, Sayasu Eiyo, Asukai Cho, Kazato Otsu, Omura Kyoumi
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (while past incarnations often had her deeply tied to organizations like the Lin Fu, she yearned to live for herself for a change, to perhaps even find the Jade Key; to that end, she returned to HKU and finished her degrees in both literature and education, as well as improving her English)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (next, she transferred to the USA as part of a global teaching exchange initiative that includes various financial incentives, no student debt to pay of course; she landed in Kansas City's Little Asia district and began teaching ELA at a local high school)
Key Event #3: Awe & Wonder (Wei also joined the local Court, finding its inclusion in this coalition of shen both intriguing and auspicious; she continued her teaching career but expanded it now to help instruct young Shinma in the court)
Transition: Shift in Nature (then she met and fell in love with young Niji, a romance as good as if not better than securing the Jade Key; she urged the Utaki to become a teacher, too, so that they could work side by side)

Remembrance

Niji



Weakness
Teacher, Teacher


Wei is a pedagogue, an instructor in the classics and literature of all ages, and loves her kids. She won't let any harm come to them and would put herself at great risk to protect them: truly, a vulnerability if one really wanted to get at her (or get at the court through her...!).

Likelihood of Corruption

Low.

She's as wise and educated as she seems and not given to making many foolish decisions, love being the sole exception (and hardly a source of corruption).
