History


Date of Birth: January 27th, 1986
Home: Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung, Hong Kong, China
Family: Huang Rew and Lim (parents), Tew (younger brother)
Kun Shou: Personal Tragedy (middle-class upbringing in the city, always a diligent student and generous soul; she turned her vision outwards, worrying her parents as she got involved in political activism in her teens, with the Communist forces already eyeballing Hong Kong for such dissidence; at a college political meeting, police stormed the place, beating members like Lifen herself, including her friend who was struck down and trampled brutally; her own head injury was life-threatening, so the Hou-Chi spirit made the choice to slip in), 2004
Mentor: Lian Bo
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (she spent the first few confusing days of her Kun Shou in jail with the other activists, but eventually they were let out with a fine and warning; she wandered homebound and was identified on the commuter train by a Chu-ih-yu, Lian Bo, who approached her and whispered his awareness of her change; he then taught her the ways of the Shinma, brought her before the local Yü lord, and inducted her into the courts)
Comrades: Usha Shastri, Ly Nha Suong, Salali Amadahy, Sasa Longroad, Samira Rostami
Key Event #1: Treachery (Lifen wanted to be a good little courtier, but the injustice still bothered her, and she began to rally democratic activists against the CCP again, leading some minor protests at universities while paying lip service to Shinma court duties—arguing that she was fulfilling her role as hsien first and foremost by helping the mortals better their situations)
Transition: Reassignment (the Regent and Yü lord decided to banish her until she got her priorities straight, but Lifen showed him—Queen Serena appeared before her that very day and offered her a chance to rally enthusiasm for a free China in America among both Asian-Americans and the fae, so Lifen joined the Ensemble)

Significant Others


The Shanghaied Ensemble of Royalty is a massive collective of "fairy princesses" to which she blithely and merrily belongs. Visit this link for the full skinny:

Weakness
The Fire That Forever Burns


Lifen's outrage against tyranny is not rooted in mere rebellion or contrariness, but rather an age-old desire to cast down tyranny and cruelty. Unfortunately, to prevent her from rocking thshe has a massive state apparatus and the tacit support of hundreds of millions of citizens aimed her way--and that's just the United States.

Likelihood of Corruption


Low.

Though feisty, she's got her head screwed on straight, and not given to falling for the deceits of Yomi Wan and its allies.
