Zhu the Golden (Dragonshadow)
Species
Human
Appearance
Zhu moves with the fluid, calculated grace of a ribbon dancer. His sun-bronzed skin is etched with fine lines of worry that he hides beneath powdered porcelain dust. He is impeccably groomed, with silver-streaked black hair pulled into a high, precise topknot secured by gold pins. His right eye is a clear amber, while his left is clouded by a milky cataract, giving him an eerie, dual-focus gaze. Despite his age, his hands remain perfectly steady, often smelling of sandalwood and expensive ink.
“Zhu speaks in a low, melodious whisper. He uses complex metaphors involving tea and tides, never stating a threat directly but letting it hang in the air like heavy incense.”

Body Language
He keeps his hands hidden in his sleeves unless he is pouring tea or counting coins. He bows slightly deeper than necessary to maintain a facade of humility.
