ALIAS/NICKNAMES/TITLES: she presents herself as xiu (秀) and hardly ever uses the family name she adopted from her maker. xiu also goes by the common honorific, jiějiě (姐姐) or older sister, because she doesn't always give out her name.
RACE: xiu is a lesser spirit born from an old kite. however, since paper disintergrates over time, she has changed her residence a few times to newer kites, acquiring more colours along the way.
AGE: she's been in existence as a lesser spirit for about forty years
GENDER: female
ELEMENTAL AFFINITY: she was born with an affinity to wood and quickly discovered her affinity to wind.
OCCUPATION: xiu makes ends meet by performing. usually she entertains crowds with folk dances that convey stories. her best venues for business are festivals and busy markets. often she uses her abilities to draw more of a crowd and create a better illusion.
DESCRIPTION: final fantasy vi: dissidia - terra

[/font][/center]ABILITIES: while xiu only has two abilities, she makes use of both on a daily basis. like most spirits, she is capable of taking a human form. though unlike the majority of the spirit population, she can alter her appearance at will, using the colour palette from the kites she's taken possession of over the years. she prefers to dress in bright hues in order to attract more attention and business; her hair colour varies from light green to blonde.
being the lesser spirit of a kite, she has an inherent affinity for wind. her use of it is fairly versatile; through manipulation of the winds' currents she can fly (in both her human and kite form), increase the speed at which she travels (she has a collapsable sail on her wagon) and levitate objects. of course xiu's powers have a limit. while she draws her power from nature, the channeling of wind is fairly taxing. distance is not of concern, but the density of the object does. ten pounds of feathers is considerably easier to lift than ten pounds of metal due to the difference in surface area.
WEAPONRY: for the purpose of storytelling, xiu carries a copious amount of weapons. as she travels alone or with just a few companions, she feels it necessary to carry a sharpened jian (劍), a double-edged straight sword, in order to protect herself from potential harm. she's fairly adept with swords, but prefers to avoid conflict. however, her possessions often keep her earthbound so she does not always have the option to flee and leave everything behind.
