ABOUT THE CHARACTER

Name: Zhou Daiyu (周黛玉).
Age: 27.
Gender: Female.
Style: Original.
Residence: Luoyang.

THE PERSONALITY

Daiyu is quite a complex woman to full understand. To someone who does not know her, she appears cold, ruthless, cruel and hubristic. She prefers to keep others at length, and usually succeeds due to her harshness and claims of superiority over others; usually in an intellectual way. Although not a master strategist as her claims propose, she poses an intelligence acquired from banditry – one of how to act in a deteriorating situation, the best way to make sure a screaming woman stops and some of small skirmishes. In addition to her previous plunders, Daiyu also uses her looks to her benefit whether it is of a male or female, and she classes this as one of her best attributes. Despite her nature, she has the capacity to be nice… sometimes. She thinks. She likes animals, if that counts. Her brain generally operates on a “rowdy” train of thought. She likes fist-fights and swearing at people lots. I said she was ruthless; of course she’s an angry bitch.

THE APPEARANCE

Daiyu’s general appearance (With some differences – described below, and ignore the goggles)

Daiyu has skin like porcelain and a figure that makes men stare and women jealous (then stare). She is athletic but not overly defined neither lacking definition. Despite this, she is not tall; coming in at about 5’ 2” but big things come in small packages. The top she wears is sandy brown in colour and covers all of her stomach, but perfectly frames her breasts and allows you to see the definition contained in her shoulders. The black coat she wears functions as a makeshift trench-coat, but worn properly on her shoulders looks like a normal long coat but she wears in slack so it flows round her body – it is made out of a cotton type material. Her legs are covered by leather three quarter trousers tan in colour. The trousers stretch to just below her knees and are followed by this colour leather boots, but not tight boots, quite loose. The boots overlap her trousers slightly and also reach to just below her knees. Not seen in the photo, she wears thick black cloth gloves that reach half way up her forearm, they usually blend in with her trench-coat. Daiyu has naturally quite curly hair that frames her face.

THE HISTORY

Daiyu was born to not-very-wealthy but hard working parents. Her father worked the land for a local lord while her mother always seemed not to be doing anything but fell to a profession conducted at night in private, which also creates the question of whether Daiyu’s father is truly her biological one. Daiyu got a menial education from what her parents could teach her and is why she over-compensates in later life because there was always the snooty kids who were educated by scholars to become future leaders and all Daiyu could hope for was enough intelligence to do a job and get some money. The job she fell to didn’t need intelligence. It needed technique.
As Daiyu got to around 16 years old, she got attention from men a lot and as her mother was a well-known harlot, Daiyu suffered from people assuming she was. At first she shunned the idea, she screamed and shouted at herself in her mind and was quick to launch a punch at someone giving her the eye. However, this changed after her mother died unexpectedly, leading her father to abandon her and with no income, Daiyu was forced into prostitution. She became known quickly and even became a patron of the name ‘courtesan’ rather than prostitute, slut or whore. One of her most frequent clients was her father’s employer, something she exploited to make sure her father got the hardest back-breaking work there was. Someone in certain situations will agree to anything and with promises of it happening again, will keep to their word.
At around 20 years old, Daiyu was kidnapped by a client. She managed to get a punch in but the man was built like a brick wall, easily over-powering her, punching her one and she was out cold. She woke up in a camp surrounded by men. There was a few women too but Daiyu didn’t quite fit their ‘interests’. Instead of what was supposed to happen, Daiyu managed to work her way into becoming a member of the bandits. She showed off her brawn but they worried about her lack of melee combat, so she was given training.
Daiyu took delight in travelling around, destroying whole villages, taking what belonged to the rich bastards and then simply disappearing. In fact, it became her new sex. Bandits were sometimes caught in small battles with guards or some other improvised peacekeepers and, having one of the highest educations, she was asking to “tell people what to do” making her a de facto strategist.
Daiyu continued this life for a while until she realised something. She loved going in, killing, burning, stealing, strategizing but… she never saw much of the reapings. This led to a fiery confrontation between Daiyu and some of the bandits but Daiyu couldn’t contain her anger and ended up lashing out at one of the bandits with her sword, catching his neck and killing him. Obviously, Daiyu bolted. It all happened so fast that the only person that had really reacted was the other person in the argument, he shouted as loud as he could but before anyone really caught on and archers started to move to fire, Daiyu had jumped on a horse and started riding away. She didn’t know if the pursued her or not because she just kept looking forward and riding as hard and as fast as she could.
After this, Daiyu became a vagrant; wandering around taking odd jobs and prostituting where it was needed. She convince herself that she needs to look for an actual purpose but she enjoys manipulating people as she needs and getting what she needs. As of now, her ambition stand as: “Start a fist-fight in as many taverns in China as possible, in a year.”
