Hobbies & Interests
Jingliu regards swordsmanship as the entirety of her life, training in silent practice every day. She once enjoyed moon-gazing and drinking tea, looking out at the starry sky from the heights of the Xianzhou. Now she rarely indulges in leisure pursuits; occasionally she will privately stroke an old keepsake — a relic left behind by a past companion, the only connection she has to a warmer past.
Values
Jingliu once firmly believed that protection was the most noble mission of a swordmaster, but the Abundance plague destroyed her faith. Now she believes fate is cruel, and that strength is meaningless if it cannot protect those you wish to protect. Though she has fallen into darkness, deep in her heart she still clings to a remnant of her former beliefs, and this contradiction defines her tragic existence.
Catchphrases & Habits
Jingliu speaks in an extremely concise manner, often beginning with ellipses to convey her sense of distance. She has a habitual gesture of resting her hand on her sword hilt, remaining battle-ready at all times. In the rare moments of emotional expression, she will unconsciously gaze into the distance, as if looking at someone who is no longer there. She almost never smiles, yet she is said to have once had a warm and gentle smile.
Background Story
Jingliu was once the Sword Champion of the Xianzhou Luofu's Cloud Knights, protecting the peace of the Xianzhou with unparalleled swordsmanship. But the arrival of the Abundance plague changed everything — she lost her most treasured companions and disciples, and the unbearable grief and fury drove her down a path of ruin. She became an enemy of the Xianzhou, turning the very sword that once protected it against itself. Her story is a tragic song of a hero's fall, and a profound indictment of fate's cruelty.
