Tianxia:Lianxi Hezhou

Background
((Coming soon, please wait warmly.))

Personality
Despite being an undoubtedly old Yaoguai, she doesn't seem to follow the usual fold of sageliness in the way she acts, generally seeming to be more of a free-born spirit type of person. Of course, this is not to say that she couldn't be sagely, but it seems ingrained in her very nature to simply let things carry her along as they will, like a leaf in the wind. At times, this quality can make her seem very silly, as she can go from imparting words of wisdom, to spraying someone with water, depending only on the situation. Strangely, despite the occasional silliness of some actions, the things that she does seem to have an odd way of always seeming appropriate, as though it couldn't have been done any other way.

In line with the way she does things, she has an apparent fondness for battle, a sort of flawless art that can say more about a person than any words ever could. And, so, she often challenges people she does not even know to duels, albeit on a friendly basis. In addition, she has a habit of imposing ridiculous handicaps on herself when facing someone notably weaker than herself, almost always to the point that she 'loses'. It seems that winning is not terribly important to her, as she has also been known to forfeit if the fight becomes stale to the point of no longer being fun.

As far as sages go, Lianxi is a wily one and her intentions are difficult to determine through her behavior until the very end, like revealing a hand of cards and always seeming to have all the aces.

Power/Combat
Interestingly, Lianxi seems to be a manifestation of 'the flow' itself, and, much like a fire spirit is adept at fire manipulation, Lianxi is skilled in the way of manipulating the flow. While this power is not exclusive to herself, her affinity for it generally puts her on the same level as practitioners older than herself, and she is one of the few who could confront a greater power on equal ground, if she needed to. In general, the power itself tends to be capable of doing nearly anything by bending the world's natural rhythm to match a desired effect. Like this, one could turn a small current of air into a hurricane, a bit of heat into a fire storm, and other such things. And, in reverse, it could quell those same phenomenon just as easily.

However, Lianxi has a sort of fondness for music, and it shows very clearly when she fights. Song and dance take the place of fists, the rhythm of the moves forming attacks on their own. In this respect, fighting is more like an art than anything else, and she is quite good at it.

Major
-Xiangdeng Tiandao: A former master in daoist arts, she was essentially one of its star pupils in that subject. It is difficult to know what it thinks about her, but, at the very least, she is fond of it.

Minor
-Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun: Lianxi has met all three of them at least once, probably picking up a few bits of information from them along the way. Although, the almost stagnant and stiff flow of Heaven is unpleasant for her, and so she tends not to visit there very often.
