Name: Empress Wu Zetian
Title(s): Empress
Age: 66
Brief Backstory: Like most civilizations, China has been male-dominated throughout much of its history. Until very recently, women were afforded few rights, and direct power was all but totally denied to them. For a woman to attain the rank of Emperor, to become the most powerful person in China, was almost unheard of. Only one person in the entirety of Chinese history was able to do so. That person was Wu Zetian, one of the most remarkable rulers - female or male - the world has ever seen.

Personality and Interests: Wu Zetian puts a priority on increasing her empire's population over expanding her empire. Sometimes, she may possess only one city and not build a new one until later. Wu tends to have a somewhat large army consisting primarily of ranged units, with an upper emphasis on defensive militia, and is known to make use of espionage.Wu is rather difficult to befriend. While she can be very friendly, she is often disloyal and tends to become guarded. Watch out for her deceptiveness, especially when you are friends with Wu, because she may end up declaring war on you. She is not quite keen on waging wars, though. Wu will often try to protect city-states, and likes to befriend them as well.
