She guards herself and has a hard time letting people in. Most might believe she no longer cares with her laid back attitude but her kind and compassionate heart still beats in her chest. After living so long, there is nothing that is usually new or exciting for her but she has grown far wiser than most. She hides her pain behind witty remarks or humor, trying to pass things off as fine. She is a complicated woman who marches to the beat of her own drum and most that have the pleasure of knowing her are just along for the chaotic ride. Some days you might be greeted with the gentle side of her and other days you might be seeing the warrior, the grim reaper in human form. It is a toss up for sure but if someone stands by her and earns her friendship or loyalty then there is no one better you can trust.

Be warned though, not all things are weighted with gold or coin so proceed with caution. If an enemy is what you wish, then all that shall be received is a swift death at the end of my blades before ever realizing there was danger to fear.[/sub] [u][color=f26522][b]Weapon(s)[/b][/color][/u] [b]Dual Swords (Yin and Yang)[/b] These two swords were forged out of mysterious ancient metals and handed down through the family of the blacksmith who crafted them. Only the one chosen by the blades can use them and the chosen welder gains knowledge of these swords capabilities upon ownership. Each faintly hums with power and are etched with symbols up the blade. One blade is void black with whispers emanating from the blade as it seems to draw light in. This swords handle is craved from a white wood grounding the blade so that the whispers don't draw the user in. The other blade is pearlescent white and as it slashes through the air a song can be heard coming from it. This swords handle is craved from an ebony wood and shields the user from the enchanting song. In all this time, they have never dulled and never halted their own tunes. [sub]Smoke Bombs, Flash Bombs, Daggers, Poison Needles, etc.[/sub] [u][color=f26522][b]Weapon Power[/b][/color][/u] While each blade holds its own unique power, they also effect their users on a physical level. The passing of time no longer effect them, stopping their aging process in its tracks as well as providing enhanced strength and durability. These effects however will fade away if the users stops using/carrying the swords after a long period of time. The Whispering Blade (Black/Yin) can sever pieces of shadows from others and be absorbed by the blade giving the user the ability to know where the person is at all times and shift into their physical appearance. The Chorus Blade (White/Yang) gives the user the ability to mimic others' voices if they have spoken near the blade. The blade can also produce a hypnotic song if the user knows how which can lull enemies to sleep if the targets are unaware. The user can only mimic while the sword is sheathed, once it is pulled from the sheath the mimic disappears. If the user kills someone with one of the blades, depending on the blade that slays them their soul is absorbed and either sent to a place of pure bliss or torment. Consequently, the absorbed soul can provide the user with access to either their voice or physical form until the user releases the souls to their right place (heaven or hell).

She can’t even remember how old she is anymore since she stopped counting after awhile. In the beginning, she was just the daughter of a blacksmith, a profession passed down the line one son after the next. She was expected to do the same as all women from that time, find a husband from a respectable family, continue another families legacy while her brother carried on their own family name. Fate seemed to have different plan however, as the king needed more able bodied men and her brother’s lack of interest in the family business had him joining the army. While he was given Yin and Yang for protection, the swords did not chose him and ultimately did not give him the extra protection they could provide. He was lost to battle a few years after joining, her parents were obviously devastated and now all the pressure was on her to find a suitable match with the swords to be placed with her dowry. A woman didn’t need a weapon let alone two after all. Jiang was miserable as all her prospects repulsed her and she didn’t wish to be married off. Each day seemed closer and closer to the day that what little freedom she possessed would be snatched from her. She thought about running away but then where would she go, what would she do? Selling herself wasn’t an option she would agree to and being property wasn’t all that appealing either. Her mother kept telling her that she would learn to love her husband but that isn’t the life she wanted. She struggled with what to do when the choice was made for her as bandits attacked her village. Her father was slain before he could even reach for the swords and Jiang just reacted, grabbing them and weakly standing her ground but she heard it. The swords tune, the whispering call and the siren chorus rang out to her to speak their power. That night was the first time she spilled blood and gathered souls to use for her own advantage. Jiang would be presumed dead by her mother even with no body found and she would pretend to be another. If she has to live as a man in public so that she could have a peaceful life than so be it. She slowly made her way through the ages, be it as a soldier, a thief, a hunter, or even a bandit. Jiang learned as much as she could and made herself a master. She made herself a ghost and a weapon. She made herself into the fears and nightmares of others so they wouldn’t dare be near or ask for her presence. Every once and awhile someone became brave asking for either her assistance or an enemy came to test themselves. Some made it out alive, others were not so lucky. She has mostly been forgotten but there are a few that still believe in legend and seek her or the swords out for themselves. Currently, Jiang lives in Chinatown as it somewhat reminds her of home even though she has enough money to afford somewhere much more luxurious. She will take odd bounty jobs here and there or grant favors in return for something she wants. Sides don’t matter to her as she seen many a fight come and go. Everything will eventually fade and she will still be here stuck in time.
