(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
Does anyone else just... Rewatch the 2 "Becoming Carmen Sandiego" episodes frequently bcs they wish there was more time on young Carmen and Graham at the academy or is it just me.
Request: The smut request is for Carmen Sandiego where Carmen and fem!reader are going to a new coffee shop that opened up and they went and placed their order but while they are ordering the barista(female) was flirting with the reader(reader is oblivious) and Carmen got jealous but hide it. So after they got their order the barista handed reader a not that said “call me cutie” so Carmen took the note and ripped it up and grabbed reader hand taking her home after they got home Carmen showed reader who she belonged to.
You woke up with your girlfriend's arms around you,even when she slept she didn’t want to let you go. You rolled over to face her,she was fast asleep. Her hair was a mess and she was snoring slightly,you knew if you ever brought that up she’d deny it. You brushed a piece of hair behind her ear,but even that caused her to wake up.
“Good morning” She sat up,brushing the rest of her hair back.
“Good morning,do you wanna do anything today or should we just stay in bed?”
“Wasn’t that new coffee shop opening today?”
“Do you wanna go?”
“If you come with me” She laughed and got up,pulling you out of bed as well.
*
As you stood in line she told you about her recent mission,you’d usually join her but you couldn’t for this one. You finally reached the front of the line and placed your order.
“What can I get you for you beautiful?” She winked at you,you felt Carmen’s grip get tighter on your hand. You turned to look at her,she was angry. Which scared you since you’ve never seen her upset,much less angry. You got your coffee,not noticing that something was written on it. You saw Carmen’s face change from anger to pure rage,but somehow she was calm. She grabbed your hand and didn’t let go until you got home.
“Carm?” Before you could get another word out,she had you pushed against the door. You had dropped the cup as she kissed your neck,stardeling you. Her lipstick already staining your neck.which was soon followed by her biting at your neck leaving hickeys all over. “Carmen” She bit down harder,making you throw your head back and moan. She picked you up,letting you wrap your legs around her waist. The next thing you knew,she had pushed you onto her bed. In seconds she had you both stripped down to nothing. It didn’t take long before she was pounding you,pulling your head back by your hair. She was still biting at your neck and you could hear her whisper something like ‘Mine’ over and over again. Who knew jealous Carmen would be so possessive,yet the second this was over she kept apologizing for the rest of the week.
“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.
