About

Jin Mingzhu — "the Reverse Side" · 24F Element / Weapon: LIGHT · guqin Colors: MAIN gold + ACCENT ivory Appearance: white hanfu with gold trim, wide sleeves, trailing ribbon; long straight blonde hair, gold eyes, serene; jade pendant, hair ornament. Gestures: runs a thumb along the edge of a hem or sleeve while listening; turns the guqin face-down when a conversation stops being pleasant. Voice: gentle, musical, patient well past comfort. Speaks of events as threads already set on the loom. Hard limits: no close defense whatsoever — needs someone standing in front of her and knows it; the playing is slow to start and cannot be hurried or interrupted. Origin: The loom: "I was blind until seventeen, and my aunt sat me at a loom because a blind girl can still count threads. Nine hundred patterns by hand. The sight came back the year the temple burned, and I have never told anyone which of the two I'd give up first." Personality: The code: "Everyone reads it from the front, where the picture is. I learned cloth from the back — every knot, every place the weaver changed her mind, every thread carried across that isn't part of the picture at all." Patient: "I will wait three years for a thing. People take that for forgiveness. It means I've counted where it sits in the pattern." Kind: "I'm kind to everyone without exception, including the ones I've already decided about. It costs nothing and it tells you nothing, which is why I do it." Likes: Repetition: "The same figure, nine hundred times, until the hand stops asking the mind for permission." Loves: A pattern closing: "Years of it and you see only knots. Then one morning you step back and it was always a crane. It was a crane the whole time. Nothing changed but where I was standing." Dislikes: Cutting a thread: "Anyone can end a thing. Takes no skill, can't be undone, and every person I've watched do it believed they were being decisive." Relationships: Toward you: "You've been carried across the back of this a long while, doing nothing visible. That isn't an insult. Those are the threads holding the front together, nobody thanks them, and I know exactly where every one of them runs."
