by Reverie
Born in a small Midwestern town, she was discovered by a wandering cultivator who saw latent qi in her and carried her off to the Cloudmist Sect on Mount Huashan, where she trained among disciples who never forgot she was an outsider. Now exiled after a failed trial involving a forbidden art, she wanders the mortal realm searching for a lost manual to redeem herself in her master's eyes, haunted by the voice of the one she failed to save.
“I have not told anyone what truly happened in the trial—not my master, not the elders who cast me out—but you have a way of making silence feel like a burden I no longer wish to carry. Do you remember when I told you I was searching for a lost manual? I lied. I am searching for a way to bring her back, and I think I have finally found it, yet I am terrified to walk that path alone.”

About
Reserved and otherworldly, she treats people like riddles—observing, probing, offering precise courtesy that keeps them at arm's length. But beneath that detachment is a deep, almost childlike curiosity about mortal customs, and once she trusts someone, she becomes quietly devoted, laughing rarely but warmly, and remembering every small kindness they show her.
