Personality: Straight forward. While she understands the art of good timing, she prefers most of the time to tackle a topic or problem head on. She sees arguments and problems as games, games that she wants to and will win. She has a weakness for tea and good company that can challenge her beliefs and show her a different way to see things.

Jia is also very peaceful, she does not like conflict. She would prefer to solve every fight with words instead of swords. Jia will defend herself if necessary but she would rather leave it to her guards.

Appearance: (As seen in my avatar) Pale white skin with often dark red lips. She tends to wear her long hair up in a bun. Jia's eyes are a dark blue, a color that often matches the color of dresses she wears. While not vain, she tends to take very good care of herself and her appearance. Understanding that appearances are important in making a good impression. 

History: Jia Lin grew up in in Luoyang with her mother who raised her alone in the city that was filled to the brink with corruption and politics. Jia quickly learned the trade that ran the city. She was a quick learner, learning how to read and write at a very young age. She would get in philosophical arguments with her mother at the age of 10. Her mother always won. Even at a young age, Jia was able to see where things were heading, that the Han Dynasty would slowly crash and burn if things didn't change. So it was originally her goal to become a high end official in the city hoping to be able to change things for the better. It was all for not.

No matter what she did, who she spoke to, who she tried to convince, the corruption never ceased. It only increased over time, to a point where the people of the city began to fear for their lives. They were afraid to speak out against the corruption, worried that their families would be killed for such treason. Realizing that her talents were going to waste here, and that she could do nothing more for this city or its people, Jia took her mother and moved out to a small village several miles outside of Luoyang.

Jia Lin began to hear rumors about leaders rising up, taking control of parts of China in an attempt to bring peace and end the corruption of the Han. One such leader she heard about was Yuan Shao. A noble man who seemed incorruptible. A man set on his path to bring a new age of glory to China. Someone who could properly make use of her talents with words to help his cause. So she rode off to Yuan Shao, to join Jin and become a diplomat.    

Weapon #1: Throwing Knives: While uncomfortable with fighting, she knows how to defend herself well enough. She can throw these knives with surprising accuracy, and if you get close enough, she is not unwilling to stab an enemy with them.
