It’s time I finally introduced Xiù!

Cooking (she can do it, she just hates to do it), singing (refer to cooking), cleaning, standing/sitting still for long periods of time if it's related to something she doesn't want to do, school, summer, overly-happy people, loud noises, being in a room with multiple children (anything more than 4 is her limit), her sleep being interrupted, Luli
As a child, she was chaotic, noisy, and exhausted every nanny that took care of her. Compared to her sisters, she was worse than all of them combined. Despite this, her siblings and parents adore her, 'tolerating her' when she gets on their nerves.
She attended a rather prestigious academy, but didn't want to put in any work to actually pass her classes. She only passed due to her eldest sister telling her she would have to repeat school if she didn't suck it up - the very thought terrified Xiu, and she finally put enough effort in to pass. She has refused to step foot into a school since, even after she has children of her own.
Her mother forced her to learn a stringed instrument before she then pushed her into midwifery, citing her daughter should be doing 'something'. During this time, Xiu met a very sick pregnant woman. Despite tending to her as best she could, the woman still passed away during childbirth, asking Xiu to care for her baby. Xiu agreed and named the human child 'Yuxi'.
She loved Yuxi, watching her grow from a baby, to a toddler, to a child. She cleaned scrapes, tended to wounds, and read for hours into the night to get her to sleep. When Yuxi became a teenager, Xiu's sisters taught her how to be a proper lady (they did not trust Xiu to teach her properly, and they were right to do so). Yuxi became elegant and kind as she aged, marrying at 22. She never had any children, fearful of suffering the same fate her biological mother did.
When Yuxi was 40 years old, a maid was hired. Shortly after, Yuxi became sick and died within the year.
Xiu was devastated, even moreso when it was discovered that Luli had stolen Yuxi's skin in a bid to take over the life she'd had. She fought Luli with the intent to kill, but Luli escaped before she could do so. Xiu mourned for a very long time, crying hard and causing it to rain. There was a lot of flooding during this time, made worse when Xiu was afflicted with visions of her deceased daughter's form in places that she would frequent. These occurrences were caused by Luli, using a skin she crafted to look like Xiu's daughter.
Anytime Luli grew annoyed with Xiu, she would wear the skin and appear near Xiu, further tormenting her. No matter where Xiu went or what she did, Luli would often end up following (or at least would keep track of). After decades of trying to forget, using drugs and alcohol and parties to try and make herself mindless, Xiu had an extreme mental breakdown after seeing her dead daughter once again. Her breakdown was so bad that she flooded half of China.
Horrified by what she'd done, she ran to her mother and begged for help. After scolding her child for what she'd done, Aihan softened and promised Xiu that they would build a place where Xiu can be alone. They chose Riverfork, Texas, as they believed little to nothing would happen as is. As construction was underway, Xiu would often visit to check on things, typically affecting the weather during her visits.
After its completion, she moved in. The lake house she lives in warps reality and won't let anyone in aside from those she has personally approved of. Everyone else either ends up on the other side of the lake or in the lake itself.
Being so strange since childhood means that Xiu has always struggled with partners. Her mother nearly pulled her hair out trying to find someone who would match Xiu's seemingly-high standards, only for the choices she made to be run off or, in some horrifying instances, killed. Those who were killed were mostly bad people, but there has been at least one where it was genuinely an accident.
There was a brief romance between Xiu and a man during the early 1900's, but unfortunately, Xiu's older sister (Bai) also took interest in him. Xiu was torn between allowing her sister to marry him or marrying him herself, eventually deciding that the happiness of her sister was more important. Bai and the man married; given how happy Bai has been, Xiu feels satisfied that she has done the right thing, regardless of how upset she felt at the time.
When Xiu was moving into her lake house, she tried to warn off a woman that was getting too close. This woman is named Ashley Blackwood, who belongs to @frenzyfeline . Ash ends up calling Xiu a 'misty bitch', and Xiu ends up following Ash around like a lovesick puppy because people have never truly been rude to her; something that she has decided she actually quite likes (when it's Ash) and would like to keep hearing.
Despite Ash's best attempts, Xiu is difficult to shake off and followed her around the world (mostly to check on her per Xiu's mother's wishes, but she took the chance to see Ash whenever she could). Ash eventually gave in and they went on a date. The rest is history (aka still being written, but details details).
