History


Date of Birth: December 25th, 1968
Home: Hepingli, Dongcheng, Beijing, China
Family: Wang Zhelan and Kun (parents), Su Yao (younger sister)
Kun Shou: Personal Tragedy (she grew up in a lower middle class neighborhood but showed great potential, and worked her way through school to become a lawyer; but early in her career, she was arrested for daring to question the party and court; while in custody, she was tortured, included water-boarding, to force a condemning confession, which she never gave; near death, a Chu-ih-yu soul inhabited the young woman and used what basic I Chih she could remember to legally let herself out of prison and clear her name), 1988
Mentor: Xu De
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (her memory at least guided her back also to her Xian Mun hui t'ung that operated just under the government's nose and with Yü dispensation; as proper, she also restored some ties to her new human family, to reassure them she was out of harm's way for now)
Comrades: Hisoka Isas, Kun Shandong, Ming Bo Lien, Anela Wu, Zheng Guan-Yin, Shi Hexi, Tang Lei, Wu Xun, Hsiao Jae-Lin
Key Event #1: Treachery (she proceeded to super-charge her legal career, altering elemental souls as need-be, carving her way up the CCP's justice system)
Key Event #2: War (but as her prosecutorial career got underway, she ran afoul of a rival lawyer who was also shen but far worse: a Five Metal Dragon of the New World Order, and he preferred indirect action so tapped his blackmailed agents among the Triads to target her first with threats)
Key Event #3: Personal Tragedy (Fann took the threats seriously and opted to flee China, claiming refugee status in the US, and while in California, she easily obtained an American law degree through Stanford)
Key Event #4: Awe & Wonder (her only career opportunity was in Kansas City, so she moved there to the Little Asia district, essentially forced to start her law career over; but she made friends with the local police, and discovered a fellow Chu-ih-yu among them; this proved prudent as she often made enemies, particularly with organized criminals of local tongs and branches of Triads)
Transition: Victory (with patient ambition, Fann worked her way back up towards the top, facing discrimination now not just as a woman but a Chinese woman; still, she pushed, reaching assistant district attorney, and putting her legal connections and authority to work for the Shinma court she membered, too)

Remembrance


Magnitude: Her memory grows cloudy when she tries to penetrate even just the beginning of the Fifth Age.
Details: She does recall that she once lent her wisdom to Lin Zexu during the Opium War crisis, guiding his reason when he wrote the open letter to Queen Victoria, mocking the West's hypocrisy.

Isas



Weakness
Lawyer's Tongue


As lawyers go, she's disturbingly honest. But that sharp tongue of hers has more venomous barbs than a Suijen's, and she's gotten herself into trouble with it before. She's confident in her judgments, so while she lets the accused air their arguments and grievances, she suffers little conscientious quandary in showing contempt for the condemned's whinging and pathetic excuses.

Likelihood of Corruption

Low.

She has a strong moral compass and indeed a good sense of moral judgment, even if she finds herself frequently surrounded by the scum of the earth in her profession.
