(tw: I'm sorry if it's inaccurate to Chinese culture and you feel offended, I tried my best to make it as accurate as possible when I researched about this)
@the-xifeng-li you have a new lesbian aunt
Chang Ru Lan/Red Maiden
(left, without makeup and hair down; right, with makeup and hair up)
Name: Chang Ru Lan
Codename: Red Maiden
Ethnicity and Nationality: Chinese (but she used to stay in Singapore)
Age: 44
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Rank in SPECTACLE: Senior operative
Personality: really intelligent, just doesn't care about anyone else but her, her girlfriend, and her niece, your average asian tiger mom (despite not being a mom 😭)
Orientation: Lesbian (like Geiko, she hates men)
Job: Works as a wudan in Peking Opera, while also tryna smuggle goods and other illegal stuff
Lore/Headcanons:
She's the sister of Xifeng's mother (I'm still thinking for the name in my hc)
She's the aunt of Xifeng and sister-in-law of Huang Li
(with @shadownymphette's au) She's like the sister-in-law of Hayou (hates him man)
At young age she and her sister loved the opera, so she became one of the workers to make her sister happy
She hates Huang because like she thinks he stole her sister and is the reason her sister died of sickness (even if it doesn't make sense cuz how???)
She loves Xifeng because she reminders her of her sister, and she's working at Peking opera so yay
Hates Hayou with a burning passion (and he probably hates her back). However they don't know each other's "occupation." Hayou doesn't know she's part of SPECTACLE and she doesn't know he was working for ACME (but they've been suspicious of each other for a long time
Her girlfriend/spouse/wife is Geiko (yes, xifeng has a gay uncle and a lesbian aunt who are both married to japanese people with familial issues)
She had an okay relationship with her parents, they're just strict Asian parents, which is why she start beginning to steal
She wasn't a recruit at vile, she came straight to spectacle because she met Geiko in Singapore (Geiko was on a caper) and became friends (Ru Lan was struggling with finances at the time and Geiko saw her potential in stealing so she recruited her)
Ru Lan is practically second in command for the Cultural Performances section because sometimes Geiko can be childish and make dumb decisions and y'know
She's not really evil, she just steals because her pookie does too (and it's kinda fun) and is the only one to make Geiko stable :D
She's okay with shadowsan
She's okay with team red (since xifeng's friends with them), but she kinda thinks that they're just annoying children playing games for adults
“Red, are you there?” A voice chimed in the earpiece she wore. Connection was finally back as she sighed in relief, herself being separated from her team for far too long, as while she was fleeing, Zack and Ivy were still waiting for her, which was the plan, until VILE decided they had no more patience for her little cat-and-mouse game they were always playing.
Heels clacking against the rooftops of households, her breathing got heavier steadily, she’s been running for a very long time, with Tigress still hot on her tail, and two more operatives she hadn’t bothered introducing herself to, though they already knew who she was. How could they not? Brunt’s “mama bear” rants were infamously known throughout the island, as well as Maelstrom’s schemes and Cleo’s complaints about her. Only Bellum had seemed to be silent about her, though she still despised the scarlet thief.
“Player, good that you’re here. I have three operatives chasing me. What’s the best rout-” She started, only to be cut off.
“Sharp right, now.” Player instructed, and she followed without a second thought.
The quick and unexpected turn left the two newbies skidding to a halt, before colliding into each other, leaving Tigress to be the only chaser. What can I say? Tigress is good at her job, VILE made a good choice in accepting her.
“Carmen Sandiego.” The tiger lady growled, in a dangerously low voice.
“That’s my name,” The woman in red shot back, more smugly than she should have been.
Whatever it took to get on the tiger’s nerves, am I right?
Wrong. Karma for Carmen, ACME had also decided to join in on the fun. Just wonderful, no, no. Really lovely. Maybe it did serve her right.
As of right now, she may or may not have been running out of roof to run, with ACME aware of her location, and VILE on her tail, this was a little risky, but she still trusted Player.
“Where now?” She quickly asked.
“See that gap between the rooftops? Jump over it.” Player responded.
Gradually, she gained speed, as well as momentum, as she did a jump dive to the other side, it being incredibly risky and with just a mere split second, she dodged the smoke guns that ACME fired at her from the gap, it being too close a call.
The dangers of being “La Femme Rouge”, I guess.
But they were going to need way more than just that to catch her, or they may as well give up.
gay rights.ENJOY THE MEMES I WORKED HARD ON IT. AND THANK YOU FOR 2000 SUBS WTFThanks so much to dapple and clove for helping with this video!!!Dapple's yout...
“Steve, we have Carmen Sandiego in our sights”
“Good. That bastard’s harder to find than blue’s clues. Don’t let her out of your sight.”
@csfanatic111 had this idea and we regret nothing
