[edit] History

Shi Rong lived in Kyoto, Japan for the first three years of her life. Then, right after her sister's birth, their father died, and her mother brought the two girls to her native country, China, and it's capital city, Beijing. Their mother supported the two girls by working at the Pekingese Opera as the star of most shows.

Shi Rong discovered her powers when she was around six years old, playing in a local park on the swings. She'd always jump further than anyone else, and after a lot of experimenting with it, she finally coughed it up to being able to control and manipulate the wind / air around her. When she told her mother, the woman, after the expected freak out, sent her daughter to temples to be tested by the monks. Finally, after a few years, she had an encounter with a monk that knew of the end of the world, and saw the girl's potential. He trained her for her fate.

Now, aged 18, Shi Rong is attending college in Beijing, majoring on Political Science, and working as a waitress at Fengshan, a restaurant located inside Beihai Park, specializing in Imperial cooking.

In October, when she got her invite to the online community, Shi Rong eventually moved into Syao Li's dojo, but in February, after months of underlying aggression and general annoyment between the two, they blew up at eachother and Shi Rong moved out, affirming her suspicion that living in close proximity with a lot of people would never be good for her.

She moved into an apartment by herself a little away from the dojo, but had Mu Shen and Mao Shi visit her whenever they felt like it, having grown closest to the pair of them in the time she spent there.

On the 19th of May, 1999, her world came crashing down as the real Kamui, Zhou Jian Xiong revealed himself and killed Mao Shi, Syao Li and Joshua by blowing up the dojo, announcing he was choosing the path of Angel. Mu Shen was not present at the time, and it was quickly decided he would move in with Shi Rong.

After organizing the funerals of her friends, Shi Rong has been breaking down slowly but surely, and has not handled the fact that Mu Shen told her he loves her very well. She isn't able to open up to him, and recently went on a trip to Ang Shun's parents, pretending she was his fiancée to get them off her back.

On October 7th, 1999, Shi Rong died in a fight against the Angel Guo Xiao Feng at Wangfujing.

[edit] Personality

Shi Rong is serious and calm. She has a tendency to take control of situations and be a little bossy, something coming from having a younger sister to look after whenever their mother was working. While she may not appear happy or amused, she might still be so on the inside.

She's silent and contemplative, but will flare up and lash out if someone hurts people dear to her. Because she's so protective of herself and her friends, she's a very hard person to get close to, and most insults or attempts at being funny/adorable will slide right off her back without as much as a wink.

She hates being wrong, and not knowing answers, because in such a dangerous world, if she doesn't know what to do, she's screwed. This is why she is always perceptive and mapping out things in her head, attempting to make up pre-emtive measures for the Seals should something happen.

[edit] Powers

Can manipulate wind and air around her to do as she wants, be it summoning up a slight breeze or a tornado. She can make the wind lash out in attacks, and uses two fans to boost these attacks. Also, she can make the wind work as a shield between herself and any kind of physical attack.
