    Wan-Xia; Her great uncle, who she looks up to as often as she can, and often seeks wisdom from him, even though their views vary in conflict.

    Gen'ming; Xi-Xi and Gen'ming are naturally inseparable, Xi-Xi loves him to a fault and would help him with anything, and she knows he would too.

    Life Story
    Xi-Xi was born in Dexai along with her twin brother Gen'ming, to the couple Xianji-Fem; a versitile artist and circus performer, and Ki-Xia; an alchemist and hard study who were both sword dancers but her father was a swordsman. From the moment Xi-Xi was a conscious ten-year-old she had shown to be quite the brave child, always protecting her brother from bullies, and lecturing them accordingly. Xi-Xi was also quite altruistic, always finding opportunities to help others no matter the situation they were in, whether it be helping an elder cross a carriage ridden path, or simply helping the other kids her mother trained while she was off with her father. The young Sihai was as bright and bubbly as she is to this day, her stalwart personality shone through and through, only running into problems when she devoted too much of herself to too many people, or being too sensitive when receiving criticism. As one could imagine Xi-Xi grew up close to both of her parents and her brother, though he was often off studying with their father, giving more time to her mother who reinforced her ideals and personality, which showed in her unique arts. Stories from her father gave her wisdom, and when they practised alchemy and sparred, it reinforced the will she had with the strength to back it up. She was a kid who could walk the walk and talk the talk.

    She'd grow into a young and agile teen already rather knowledgable, and confident in herself and her path as an aspiring alchemist, up to the point of the Emporers festival, where Htai travelled to their Ingdi and gave an inspiring and heartfelt speech, as they do every year...but this particular one spoke of majesty, and grace and shedding hope upon everywhere one could and of sorrowful happenstance to be shed from; It was the speech of balance. This speech shifted her disposition to that of a view that she had, and heavily agreed with but wasn't quite aware of before, one such that of a protectors values. After the Emporers appearance, she went to get kabobs from one of the food stands, and as it happened so did the Emporer! The Great Htai walked right up to her and struck a conversation with the young Sihai, Xi-Xi was blown away! and she told him of stories she'd collected herself within humility of course and her ideals and of her sword dancing, giving a great impression when she told him about how she aims to protect those she held close no matter what; the Emporer then told her something she would never forget, "Xianghua, I have no worries that you would stray from your path...Your future is bright and you are as strong and as wise as I when I were your age; It's because of the hope you bring. Never forget it." and then he asked her to show him some sword dancing, to better judge her character. So she showed him her most simple and beautiful sword dancing routine, tailored to her own style, it wasn't flashy, or physically impressive, but the message it sent to the Emporer warmed his heart. The Emporer saw great potential within Xi-Xi's disposition and bestowed a gift upon the young Sihai, A simplistic Skysteel Jiang; which the Emporer said had been forged by the Loong Dragons themselves, and a Ferr-Iron Ming-Dao reinforced with Assena and a guard made from Pyrignis; which was a gift to the Emporer from a similarly minded prodigy child smithy. One to protect others and one to protect herself. After thanking the Emporer diligently in front of what was a gathering crowd, he made another speech to the various peoples and in front of her proud parents. "This is Xian'ghua-Fem Chai, A protector and someone I hold an open invitation to the Royal Guard. She is strong-willed and steadfast to all those in need. May the Loong guide her well in all her journeys, on The Path of the Protector."

    Xi-Xi felt to be inadequate even though the Emporer had said otherwise, she felt she didn't deserve quite as much as that, but at least she knew where she was going and who she was, from it, she knew she could grow.
    From then on her father told her stories she asked for, stories of enlightenment, and inspiring her scores more to be a protector, just as the Emporer was. Her mother continued to teach her of the various uses of her arts and the meaning behind them, going as far as to let her teach other dancers and help them train; This taught her tolerance and gave her the predisposition to be a great leader. While her brother's mere presence reminded her of herself and reminded her she had something to believe in.

    So Xi-Xi set out to prove herself worthy of this hope, defending the weak and those she held dear at every chance she got; spreading her ideology to those she helped, and those she defeated, from simple bullies to mercenaries after her loved ones, there wasn't a soul within her Ingdi who hadn't at least heard of the young and strong-willed protector who extended her arms to anyone she could, and who often got herself into endless heaps of trouble, though for a well cause. Even establishing and becoming the young leader of The T'fuha't Ku'en or Defenders guild, whom she formed of people that decided to follow her after demonstrating her ideals to them; Comprised of Sihai of all kinds, from smiths to ritualists who all had one goal; "To provide, protect, and aid all those who need it." and though they were all tight-knit, the group often didn't meet due to them helping others and being off on various quests to improve themselves further, in the end the group was never disbanded, and even grew through the other members. The guild spread their ideology semi-actively not going as far to create a cohesive council and hierarchy, and gathering funding for the cause, they were just happy to be there; Though Xi-Xi saw great potential in such an idea, perhaps the semi-peaceful lands of Dexai were not the right place for it.

    There wasn't an obstacle that had gotten in her way by the time she was a young adult but she still felt it inadequate, going as far as to seek out the many spies said to be within the walls of various Ingdi, travelling to and fro as a do-gooder. To the point where she found that which she sought, and outed the spies on her own in her confidence, walking up to their residence and much to her surprise she was badly beaten, stabbed, stomped, her memory of the night taken, and left to die within an illicit slum that they resided in, luckily through the premeditated use of alchemy she was able to get herself by long enough for a kind and old soul to happen upon her. The man's name was Yi'leung-Xia an old and wise man that told her, once she was she was recovered, that if she wanted heroinism it would only get her a young death, but if she wanted hope that she would live on. Xi-Xi was devastated by this loss, and reminded of the hope she sought. Immediately regretting her arrogance and again felt inadequate in her ability. So Xi-Xi travelled back to her home, to seek out her parents, who were proud but worried. Xi-Xi's father did indeed give her hope, over the next few years focusing on teaching her sorcery to better protect others with. Her mother teaching her of the many other less dangerous outlets that she could pursue, like her great uncle Wan-Xia, who pursued music, despite it being so frowned upon within their culture. Xi-Xi came to a realisation that she needed to do some self-reflecting before she could continue on the path of the protector.

    So Xi-Xi set out, to find a new outlet with Wan-Xia, travelling to regalia to seek their wisdom. She set out to spread her hope. She set out to make sure she was worth something, and to prove it to the world. Upon arriving Wan-Xia had given her an instrument, a Sheng, which she had never seen before, but she retained to practise as much as she could, finding some meaning in the few pieces of music she learned within her short time of being there. One could say she found some hope. It was for herself this time...which she could appreciate more now. Xi-Xi realised that to be a protector as great as The Emporer, she would have to protect herself too in the process. Strong-Willed as she was this was going to take more than that, it would take wisdom and experience and diligence. But with the guidance of the Loong, she was sure she would achieve it, being optimistic to a fault.

    Xi-Xi aims to find her balance and self-reflect regalia, maybe restart her guild, and perhaps a boyfriend and aspire to the best version of herself.

    Trivia
    The names of Xi-Xi's Dao and Jian are D'ena'ra(Truth) and Kui'n(Ego) respectively.
    Xi-Xi's Jade necklace was a parting gift from her parents and came from a dusty tote, of ancestors items.
    Xi-Xi has never been in a romantic relationship but often daydreams about them. Though often feels because of her intensity, boys are unattracted to her.
    Xi-Xi's name actually means "Strong-willed flower in the breeze". Because before she was a child, her mother had a thing for bouquets, must've been Xi-Xi all along.
    Xi-Xi's favourite sword-dance, the one she did for the Emporer is called D'ra Fu'n'fen T'ieh'luc (The Flower Dance) and is more expressive with flowy lines, and graceful whips and twists, composed as if it were the choreography of a dancing flower.

    Heyo! Peer review time!

    Unless you have a special permission to go over 150, this cannot be possible. If you have the permission, go right ahead and state under this category that it is an ancient permission character.

    I suggest you make this if it is active or inactive!

    Another suggestion, probably not required. Though if you want, you could put this as a spoiler to make it easier to review, seeing as this is extra information and not a requirement.

    Hope this helped!

    I'd recommend spoiler-ing these sections

    The different shades of blue and green on the word 'body' seem like a mistake. Not very important, just something I noticed.
