Appearance

(refer to picture above and my avatar)

Lady Li Ying is a sheltered beauty of the south land. With lustrous long raven dark hair that she often wares up while at court or down while at social events. Her skin is a pure soft white and her eyes are a deep brown. Her looks have often been compared to Diao Chan, the lady that brought down the traitor Dong Zhou many years ago.

She is fairly short and thin, always keeping in shape as her appearance as she hoped to marry well for her family. Her eyes currently are set on Sun Quan lord of Wu. Knowing that if she marries him she might be Empress one day.

Her favourite outfits are bright greens and reds, adore with jewlery and gold necklaces. All bought by her father of course. She also has court robes although she detests wearing anything so...common

She also has one other outfit, although no one living has seen her wearing it. A thing of black and darkness with a veil for her face. Only for use while she is planning to kill someone.

Lady Li Ying is a very beautiful if deceitful creature. She thrives on the schemes and plots that exist in the world of politics, playing the game as well if not better than all her male counterparts. She is a lethal as a well honed blade and knows when is best to strike, in the middle of the night when your opponent is fast asleep.

Not exactly the most moral of young ladies, she is out primarily for herself, seeking advantage in what is really quite a harsh world for pretty young girls. She used poison and other weapons against anyone that gets in her or her families way. She is not above using her looks to her advantage, looking at women like Diao Chan as role models.

Yet she does have a soft side, caring deeply for her few friends or those that might genuinely win her heart. For those lucky few she would do or kill anyone. At the moment however only her father has such an honour. She is the worst kind of enemy to make and the best kind of friend to have.

She also adores cute animals and horses. 

history

Lady Li Ying, is the second child of Li Yang, one of the most prominent lords of the south lands. Her older brother is Li Shimin, now commander of Wu's vanguard. Although of the 2 of them she takes after her father far more than her brother.

Li Yang head of the household had been a vassle of the Han court for 400 years, and was at the time of Li Ying's birth one of the most powerful lords in the south. He was Liu Yao's chief assistant and had great power. But it was not enough for Li Yang, who above all else desired more power. Not content with what he had, Li Yang saw the chaos as a chance to further his families ambitions. So it was when Sun Ce invaded Jiang Dong, Li Yang turned against Liu Yao, siding with Sun Ce and contributing greatly to his conquest of the south. Thus earning great appreciation from both the people and the house of Sun. He only did so however to serve his own ambitions.


He sent his son Li Shimin to join the military, so he might command troops for the familty in the future. Meanwhile he has a far more sinister purpose for his daughter Li Ying. He hired professional poisoners and assassins and had them teach his young daughter everything they knew. The young lady was quick witted and agile, perfect for such training, while being on the surface the short of shy girl, no one could suspect of wrong doing. When her training was complete Li Ying was sent to Jian Ye to serve the court. Her real purpose however was to protect her fathers interests. Men that spoke ill of Li Yang began turning up unexpectedly dead. One minister who slandered Li yang in public died the next week having tasted poison wine on his birthday. Another died after his eyes began blead until they burst open, killing him horribly. All the while lady Li Ying played the innocent making allies for her family and gathering love letters from the lords of the Wu court.

Now a young lady of 19, Li Ying continues to do her fathers bidding, as she makes her own plans for the future. Not only her fathers but her own, she is well aware that she will not inherit while her brother is alive...but anyone can have an "accident."
