Yong Wu-Xiu
Artificer (Battle Smith variant)
Yong Wu-Xiu
Species
Kitsune
Appearance
A lithe kitsune with luminous, soft orange fur veined by faint silver streaks along her arms and tail, Wu-Xiu moves with the nimble precision of a dancer. Her sharp snout and almond-shaped, bronze eyes are offset by flour-dusted whiskers and burns along her right forearm. Always slightly soot-stained, she wears a heavy blacksmith's apron over practical, embroidered robes with floral motifs. Despite her wiry build, there is an undeniable presence about her—equal parts warmth and steel. Surprising, up close, her hands are unusually delicate, more like a calligrapher’s than a smith's.
“Blunt yet poetic; switches mid-sentence between warm flattery and cutting pragmatism; uses forge metaphors in casual speech..”
