[indent]
[u][b]APPEARANCE          [/b][/u]
[indent]Tall and willowy, Yen moves gracefully despite her handicap, though not all the scars on her long limbs are from training. Though they don't work physically, her eyes still retain their colour, and since she knows how un-nerving it is for her opponents, she likes to fix her "gaze" on them. She dresses in her homeland's tradition, keeping to simple, streamlined robes, though she wears no shoes. What people assume is a sword on her back is actually a giant fan, which she can wield much more quickly than one would assume. When open, the fan is beautifully painted with the image of a dragon and phoenix fighting in the mountains above a harbour.[/indent]

[u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION          [/b][/u]
[indent]Born without sight, Yen seemed to be destined to stay humble and lowly for her life. Her parents did not have much money, and with a fourth child who was disabled, their resources were stretched to their limit, and they had no idea how to care for a blind child. Her mother made do, though, by taking Yen with her [i]everywhere[/i]. It was during a shopping trip when Yen was five that her true destiny was revealed.

A middle-aged man calling himself the Dragon visited their village one day, looking for someone with talents he could teach his martial art so he could retire to monkhood. He spent several days there, and then he spotted little Yen, following behind her mother with very little trouble despite the obliviousness of her eyes. He sensed her using her ki to feel her way around without even knowing she was doing it, and he recognized that here was his long-sought student. 

It only took a little bargaining, promising she would be looked out for beyond what they could do, before her parents said their farewells to Yen and sent her off to meet her fate. Yen spent the next fifteen years studying under The Dragon, who affectionately called her Phoenix. He not only taught her all he knew, but also sent for a few other teachers who could help with special techniques that either overcame or utilised her blindness, including the use of her fan. Two years ago, Dragon announced her training complete and sent her out into the world. He challenged her to only ever improve, and to prove to every fighter out there that she was more capable, not less, than any one of them.

Since then she has taken up the Nomad life, going from small town to small town and tournament to tournament. She lost many fights due to the sheer number of strange abilities she didn't realise existed, but now she has adjusted, and is ready to prove once and for all that the blind fighter is the one who sees the most.[/indent]

[h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE          [/b][/u]
[indent]Yen's fighting style involves most long ranged attacks, using the very tips of her fingers and toes or pushing "hardened" wind with her ki. Defensive in nature, it centers around dodging and avoiding the enemy, frustrating them with their inability to connect blows until they are exhausted. All normal strikes are very light in damage, though they are almost exclusive aimed at high damage areas like joints and nerve clusters.
The training was brutally efficient in increasing speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes, but not so much at toughening either her or her blows. As a result, Yen can fight for literal [i]hours[/i], but isn't that great at taking blows.
Her fan is a giant, two-handed affair, which has blades on the rib-ends. She can use it as a club, spear, or in it's fan form to control the wind she puts out.
She "sees" her opponents through a combination of basic ki-sensing and reading the air currents as they move. Unhindered by normal vision, she can even see her opponents weapons, connected as they are to the fighters themselves.[/indent]
[u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES          [/b][/u]
[indent][u]■   Bến cảng (Harbor Wind)[/u]
[indent]Yen dodges to the side of an incoming blow, sweeping her arms in a tight circle and drawing in wind from behind her opponent to throw them past her and onto the ground, or at the very least off balance.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Cần cẩu (Crane Leap)[/u]
[indent]Yen shoves down against the ground with her ki-hardened wind, launching herself into the air and over the opponent in a neat flip, moving fifteen feet up and twenty feet forward. Landing involves another burst of wind to slow her descent just enough to not damage herself.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Bẻ sóng (Bend the Wave)[/u]
[indent]Pulling her fan in towards her knees and away from the opponent, Yen creates a high force wind under the opponent's feet, tripping them and send them flying across the battle field.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Thay đổi dòng chảy (Alter the Flow)[/u]
[indent]While using Bend the Wave, Yen can switch the direction of the throw, either to avoid or send her target [i]into[/i] obstacles, smash them into the ground, or even fling them high into the air.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Lưỡi vô hình (Invisible Blades)[/u]
[indent]Whipping her hands out in fast, chopping motions, Yen sends out waves of ki-hardened wind, about the width of a sword's length, speeding towards her opponent. These hit about as hard as a good blow from a staff.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Bùng nổ khoe khoang (Battering Breeze)[/u]
[indent]Yen swings her fan out in a wide arc, sending out a gale-force wind into the area in front of her. She can "harden" this, turning it into a brutal slam attack that hits with as much force as a battering ram, or leave it as simple wind, sending opponents tumbling and taking projectiles out of the air.[/indent][/indent]

[u][b]SUPER MOVES          [/b][/u]

[indent] [u]■   Bão (Storm)[/u]
[indent]Spinning her fan around in a wild, twisting pattern, Yen surrounds her opponent with narrow, sweeping blades of wind, inflicting hundreds of tiny cuts on them. The speed and force of these is enough to charge their leading edge slightly, making them visible to everyone as glinting blade of static electricity.[/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   Khủng bố (Terror)[/u]
[indent]Yen speeds herself up by pushing herself along with wind. She then uses this to fling herself around her opponent, bending and twisting much like a ballet dancer, and almost impossible to hit, fast enough to blur. Once the opponent is disoriented, she strikes with a series of rapid kicks at the knees, elbows, and neck, landing a total of seven blows on each point, then kicks one final time into the opponents solar plexus and launching herself back to a safe distance.[/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■  Đau chia sẻ (Shared Pain) [/u]
[indent]Yen slams her fan, in spear form, into the ground, then opens the fan . Standing next to it, she plucks out two specific blades from the end and hurls them at her opponent. Guided by wind for unerring accuracy, these are aimed straight at the eyes.
Normally she would never use this. This move is specifically to punish evil and dishonourable fighter[/indent][/indent]
[u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS          [/b][/u]
[indent]Well, she is blind. While she can compensate for this in a fight to a degree with ki sensing, that only helps with the fighters and their weapons. Even simple rocks near her feet can trip her up, and while she recovers fairly well, if she can't "feel" it, she can't avoid it.
She's also proud of her skills, enough to be a little cocky about it. After a defeat she falls into a fit of self-doubt and worry.
She also has a habit of playing pranks and tricking people, enough to make her a little annoying to be friends with.
She loves her family and her heritage very much, making frequent trips home when she can afford it. [i]Any[/i] insult against either of these is very much capable of getting her angry enough to make mistakes, or drop her normal fighting pattern to simply [i]hurt[/i] the other person.
She's a dodger, not a tank. A couple of heavy blows could down her pretty effectively.[/indent]
