wei comes from a long line of fenghuang worshipers with a history that predates the han dynasty. or so her parents claim, anyway. when humans are allowed to interpret the supernatural, it's difficult to separate history from ego. but anyways, this is her story. she's always been rather gifted for a...sorcerer, the lao mei call it? her father's bloodline commanded the fires of justice and compassion, which must be distributed equally in the name of their lord. they were awfully grand words to a seven year old wei, but not anymore. her father had died during a magi dispute when she was twelve, and the usually complacent family became a pack of hyenas who fell over themselves for scraps. wei's mother had passed her from aunt to uncle to cousin to aunt again, all of whom were eager to gain favor with her, and therefore a cut of the inheritance. what are 'justice' and 'compassion', if not put into practice? wei was plenty eager to leave the household when she became of age, and took up slumming it with her cousin, who was actually pretty decent. on the rare occasions that she did run into the rest of the family at their favorite restaurants and apothecaries (what can she say, wei had a weakness for chicken feet), she likes to put up a front. she's living very well for herself, thank you very much. the packaged ramen aside, she's got a job reading fortunes with the powers that her family is so insufferably proud of. she goes to community college in an attempt to integrate with sleeper society again. it's not all fun and games, but at least that's one venue that differentiates her from the clan. wei's a little vulgar, a little rough around the edges, but she still carries the spirit of '禮' at heart. good luck getting her to admit that, though. she's already plenty irritated that she's tied to the fenghuang for as long as her powers remain. she has nothing to fear, though. the fenghuang is only a symbol in contemporary times...right? |
