Sunrise, Sunset

Yazhu isn’t predictable by nearly any sense of the word, but he does have some frequently-indulged rituals. since youth, the heir has made a habit of finding a good vantage point at which to watch the sunrise, usually while tuning their instrument(s) and ringing in the new day with song. and if they aren’t mid-wander when the sun’s ready to make it’s bed for the day, on the other end, they’ll try to do the same at sunset. 

Something about those gentle, golden hours has always inspired them; the range of hues and sensations that dawn and dusk bring.

you probably wouldn’t expect it, either, given that they’re very much a night person— peak hours of activity for this little bastard are between 10pm-4am— but Yazhu’s very much a sporadic sleeper, mostly catching catnaps during the mid-day hours and wherever-else suits their particular mood for the day. and yet, as chance allows, they’ll still go out of the way to maintain these practices.

yazhu’s squad dynamic is two parts himbo and the single exhausted braincell. a thembo, their himbo, and the agonized maternal/godmother figure who badly needs a vacation.

The Long-Suffering Attendants

as is true of just about any of Xing’s heirs, Yazhu has two retainers who were assigned to her from an early age, both from lower-caste clans which express allegiance to the Bai family (and whom did not produce an heir, themselves). Yazhu’s retainers are the seasoned-and-stern Lian Sze, a middle-aged spearwoman known for her austere beauty— made all the more impactful by her ‘towering’ height (for a woman, just short of 6′)— as well as her unflinching discipline and sharp tongue; and Junjie Tom, a hot-headed, ever-so-slightly-haughty, but generally amiable swordsman only a couple of years Yazhu’s senior— a fairly handsome boy, but certainly over-confident and overly-competitive. 

despite their clashing personalities and sensibilities to their young lord, both Lian and Junjie are as fiercely dedicated to Yazhu as any knight you might imagine, each having been won over by the Bai’s charm, talent, and warm nature over time, (Lian was also Yazhu’s tutor in spearcraft in their youth). of course, this fact only serves to make it more frustrating that Yazhu constantly gives them the slip.

make no mistake, Yazhu is equally fond of her retainers as they are of her, and yet she still resents the idea of constantly being watched/attended to, so she takes every opportunity to sprint ahead of her doting attendants in her travels, happy to sieze a few days, (or if they’re lucky, a week-or-two), in peaceful solitude before the pair inevitably tracks her down. and it’s no slander to their diligence that the wanderlusting heir continues to escape, rather, it’s a testament to Yazhu’s underhandedness. or, as Lian would fondly claim, it’s owed to the fact that Yazhu is just one “slippery little bastard.”

Lian and Junjie frequently argue over who was responsible for the escape each time, but ultimately heave a heavy sigh and set to work finding where their liege has run off to.

Which Flower Are You?

Tulip

You are bright and colorful, with a chaotic and unpredictable streak. While you love simplicity, you are not by any means simple. You have a beauty that radiates and are likely the most charismatic of your friends. You have never been too interested in romantic love, instead finding love within your friends, family, and most importantly yourself. You've always dreamt of making an impact, being remembered and adored. You fear that those you love, could never love you the same. But stop and look around love, you have the aura to command attention, and entire countries declare you theirs. You are already, inherently important and cherished.
