Skills & Abilities :A 气. Qi (Chi) Mistress Kwan is foremost a healer but her ability to focus her Qi is also used in her sword art Guǐ Jiàn (Ghost Sword) which is a soft sword art that's movements are swift and deceptively difficult to predict. Her art unarmed is similar to Akido or judo using her foe's size and power against them. She uses the same ability to focus her Qi to heal the injured and the sick whom she is not allowed to discriminate against even if they are a foe
Physically her Qi focus gives Kawn the ability to run or swim for miles; to survive on almost no food or water for days or perhaps even weeks and endure intense pain.

Personality: Kwan is a very respectful young woman who carries herself with a dignity that leads some to cast rumors that she might be nobility or royalty from a far away and unknown land.
Intelligent she tries never to cause others to feel as if she in any way sees herself as superior to them simply because her education is more intensive than theirs.
She respects her elders no mater what their caste rank or race.
None can say they have even heard her raise her voice in anger or even excitement. And while she seems to show little interest in romance she doesn't come across as a cold fish. She enjoys a good joke but prefers jokes that at times are so subtle that only she perceives them.

History: Kwan's father traveled with the great caravans of the Quin Empire and as he often said expanded his clan's knowledge of the world beyond any before him. His Eldest son thought it best that he stay within the Empires borders and protect his Clan's art by fathering many sons as his father had sired only himself and three daughters.
Kwan's Eldest Sister 美丽花红河 (Beautiful Flower of the Red River) Měilì Huā Hónghé became the first courtesan of the 12th Prince of the Quin
Her Middle sister 晨光荣耀 (Dawn Glory)Chénguāng Róngyào married a healer of the 北高峰 (North Summit) Běi Gāofēng school and has six children
万沙僧云. (10,000 Drifting Clouds) Kwan Shā sēng Yún was a late child born to her father's concubine when he was 62 and became the treasure of his old age and pampered by the old man and raised on stories of his many adventures of his youth.
She was sent to school and no expense spared her education almost as if she were a last son. When not attending school Kwan was taught the Clan's arts and deep secrets. When she graduated school at 16 she underwent the Clan test of Qi focus and surpassed that seen for seven generation of any woman of her blood line and because of this the Elders revealed to her the secrets of the Ghost Sword and when she again passed the Master's test in that art was awarded the Ghost Sword, the White Crane's Comb and the Girdle of the Dancing Dragon and her Clan Name changed to 鬼舞者 (The Ghost Dancer) Guǐwǔ Zhě a name not worn in six centuries in her Clan.
A Mistress of the Art Kwan may do as she wishes and is treated as an Equal among men in her Blood line. She enjoys a freedom few women of the Quin known and may travel without male escort or permission.
Knowing this Kwan chose on her Father's death to take up his travels and perhaps this time bring back in her graying years the secrets of the end of the world and there by complete the map of her world.
