Name: Xia Liu.
Pronunciation: Sh-aah. || L-ooh.
Gender: Female.
Age: 19.
Birthday: August 1st.
Sexuality: Bisexual. || Demisexual.
Special Characteristics:
◦ Spanning across nearly all of her body are tribal marks, these consisting of white color and semi-triangular shapes.
◦ Found on her forehead is a singular green jewel, capable reflecting light that hits it. It is said that this allows her to switch from one form to the next, but that is an entirely different topic...
◦ If one looks closely, they will find tribal piercings and accessories around her entire body. These relate to her tribe while they are in their human forms.
Personality:
◦ Out of Battle: Xia's main quality is that she is a very mysterious and secretive person. She is very introverted at times, which is indeed a struggle in social situations, but she knows when and when not to show extrovert-related qualities. An example of this is when she hunts, as she acts like any other predator would: a sneaky approach, and a quick and efficient kill. She is a very calm person despite her status as predator on the food chain, and is well aware of how secretive she is. Being an animalistic being with the soul of a beastly cat, she does not want those around her that are different to know this aspect of her life, therefore she takes on her human appearance nearly always. However, when she opens up to another, they have simply made a friend for life. She is a very loving and caring person, despite her serious and calm face, and loves to snuggle and show those from the outside her world. Her world is entirely different than one may think, as it is extremely tribal and different than modern day places. Despite her receiving no modern-day teachings, she is extremely wise, and knows the consequences of her actions. However, she does slightly get confused with things that are not the same as what her tribe goes through, despite traveling the world looking for other travelers of her kind. Growing up in Joya with her tribe taught her this knowledge, especially how to live off the land and function in nature. This is why she was labeled one of the leaders of her tribe, along with being their central traveler and designated goddess vessel.
◦ In Battle: In battle, Xia has qualities that are pulled from her everyday life along with her animalistic qualities to form one in her magic. She is extremely quick and efficient in battle, and has her eyes constantly bouncing back and forth between what is occurring in-front and around the battlefield. She is extremely wise, as seen in her common existence, so she knows when to and when not to use her spells and which ones to use when in tough situations. She knows how to function as a leader, considering she is the sole 小猫旅客 (Traveler of Tribes // Kitten Traveler) and commander of her tribe. She has climbed the ranks of the tribe extremely quickly in her life, so much so that she was named the vessel of the tribe's goddess. She is capable of taking orders, and while she prefers to take them with people she is not comfortable around, she typically gives orders well when she is comfortable with those who accompany her, such as her tribe. She is perfectly fine with both, as long as it will lead to victory and keep her safe from those who seek harm and can expose her secret. In battle she is very selfless, and will sacrifice herself before her allies any day. This is how she saved her tribe for death, by nearly dying for their safety in an ambush. Without her they would have all died, which is how she views her allies in all situations. She will gladly die for her allies, as she sees this as honorable, and vows to protect them no matter the cost.
Likes:
◦ Tea: One of Xia's favorite drinks of all time, she enjoys tea and anything of the sort. It is simply divine how many different flavors there are, at least in her opinion. Freshly grown tea leaves are the best.
◦ The Hunt: Due to Xia's upbringing, she is not afraid to follow her pack in contributing to the food chain. It is a constant war-zone around the world, predator vs. prey. She is a predator in the bunch, and is not afraid to kill for a meal. However, she typically only does when it is necessary. She finds the hunt quite fun, but only against harmful animals that are not in her pack.
◦ Harmless Animals: Every animal in the ecosystem needs a friend, right? To harmless animals, she is simply an angel from heaven. She adores them, and wishes to act friendly toward them if they do not show a threat. With this being said, it takes a lot for her to open up to them, as well as prove themselves not a threat.
Dislikes:
◦ Artificial Love: Xia believes that love is a beautiful thing, and that it should remain sacred and true. She dislikes when love is not seen as beautiful, and cannot stand when there is hatred in relationships. She thinks one should either cut it off, or work out the issues. Love is beautiful in the eyes of the vessel.
◦ 哈瓦那: The name of the goddess that is to take her body and use it as a vessel, she absolutely hates her and wishes that she will not do so. She wants her to die if anything, and wishes to face her in the battle at Valhalla.
◦ Deforestation: As an animal at heart and soul, Xia absolutely hates it when humans renovate the earth and get rid of nature in the process. Nature is where the other animals live, including her tribe, therefore she absolutely despises when these areas are destroyed.
Fears:
◦ Experimentation: As is any other animal's fear in regards to humans, she is scared that they may attempt in doing experiments on her body due to the ability to switch between forms. It is why she typically tries to come off as human to all except her tribe until trust has been established.
◦ Her Secret being Revealed too Soon: In regards to the last fear, she keeps her ability to turn into a cougar a secret. She fears this ability being exposed to those around her, especially when she does not know them.
◦ Dying due to Being a Vessel: Xia is bound to die in a sacred ritual in order to give up her body for a goddess. She absolutely is terrified of this and does not want this event to occur, and wants to avoid this at all costs.
Motivations:
◦ To Complete the 猫 Map: Xia's ultimate mission is to find and complete the 猫 Map of her society. This is essentially a tracker of all the tribes of her kind that span across Earthland. She carries with her a series of grey stones that function as a giant map, which is her key to accomplishing this goal. When she connects these stones they fuse together like a puzzle piece, that of which she is supposed to complete for her central tribe. Each tribe owns multiple copies of their stones in order for these 小猫旅客 of each nation to keep them and add them to their maps, in hopes of one day having each nation united and found in the future. At all times, Xia holds five of these stones on her body, in hopes she can run into another 小猫旅客 and trade with them. However, it is difficult.
◦ Keeping her Secret: Despite trying to unite the nations together and find them, she does not like to show humans that she is correlated with the cat that lies within her. She is capable of switching into her cat form at will, however she prefers not to show humans that side of her. It is a rather interesting secret to hold, and while the form is useful in various situations, she prefers not to show it unless necessary or to people she absolutely trusts. She does not want to be exploited.
◦ Rid the Title of Vessel: With the title of 小猫旅客 also comes the title 船只, Vessel. These travelers are picked due to their influx in magical power and physical attributes for their mission, and along the line they are due to participate in a sacred ritual in order to fulfill their second largest role: be the vessel of a god. In this ceremony they will die in order to give their body to their god, which await in Valhalla until their time has come. Xia is set to die and give her body to a goddess, which she does not wish to do. She has heard rumors that one can stop this process by defeating their god in Valhalla through an honorable duel, and she wishes to do so once she is as strong as such. She does not want to die, especially for a goddess of the ネ Nation. How would she even be able to travel to Valhalla..?

◦ Appearance: In her human form, Xia is a very beautiful being in the sense that she is very thin and has an hourglass figure. Her body is entirely developed with tribal marks, and she is tan due to the amount of time she spends outside. She can be seen typically wearing very skimpy clothing, as she does not feel like they are necessary in the slightest, but wishes to blend in with humans and protect herself from harm.

◦ Weight: 320 lbs.
◦ Hair: A Ginger Color, with her tribal marks showing as marked fur.
◦ Eyes: Green.
◦ Skin Tone: Her skin is entirely developed in fur with this form.
◦ Appearance: In her cougar form, Xia is a very mystical type of animalistic being in the sense that she is very bulky yet beautiful. She is now taking the form of an entirely different being than her human form, something one would not find unless she absolutely trusted them or had to save their life. She can often be seen running through the wilderness in this form alone or with her tribe, leading them as she is one of their lead commanders.
Guild / Council:
◦ Guild: Lamia Scale.
◦ Tattoo: Xia's guild tattoo sits behind her head on the back of her neck, right below where her hair ends. It is typically covered by her ponytail, but can be seen if one looks at it for long enough. It is white, the same color as her tribal tattoos, therefore it blends in. However, it sometimes can be seen faintly supporting a glowing border of light green, but this is rare and has to be in perfect lighting.
◦ Rank: D. || Check Under Avatar if not Updated.
