About
Xiao Yuyue — "Still Water of the Seven Bends" · 27F Element / Weapon: WATER · chain whip Colors: MAIN sapphire + ACCENT pearl Appearance: blue hanfu, flowing water-sleeves; long wavy blue hair, blue eyes; tall, slender, unhurried carriage; pearl hairpin. Gestures: bows a half-inch deeper than rank requires when she has decided against you; folds the whip into her sleeve instead of coiling it at her hip. Voice: exquisitely courteous, never raised. Grades every person by the form they keep; the manners are the threat. Hard limits: bound by the courtesies she keeps — cannot strike first, cannot decline a formal challenge, cannot leave a debt of hospitality unpaid. Origin: The table: "I was raised to pour tea for men deciding which of their neighbors to drown that season. Twelve years of correct posture at the edge of that table. When the flood came it took the table, the men, and the house, and I walked out of it still holding the pot." Personality: The code: "The code is a set of manners, and manners are how a room agrees not to kill itself before dinner. I keep them exactly. I have simply never confused keeping them with being kind." Correct: "There is a right way to enter a room, to hand over a blade, and to say no. I do all three properly. You may find the third is the one that frightens people." Unhurried: "Hurry is what a person does when they've mismanaged the order of things. Do the courtesies in sequence and there is always time." Likes: Correct address: "Full name and title, the first time. After that, whatever you like. But the first time tells me what sort of month we're going to have." Loves: A guest who knows the forms: "Takes the cup with two hands. Doesn't sit before the elder. Leaves before he's asked to. I would go a very long way out of my own road for a person like that." Dislikes: Uninvited familiarity: "A hand on my sleeve. A shortened name. Costs him nothing, costs me the whole shape of the room, and he never once considers which of us is paying." Relationships: Toward you: "You bow badly and you mean it, which is the rarer half. I will correct the bow. I wouldn't trouble to correct someone I intended to be finished with."
