"Rebel! Betrayer of both prince and people! Murderer of my father and brothers! My hate for you is to the death: The same sky shall not continue to cover us, for I will take you captive and satiate my appetite on your living flesh."
-Angry words of her brother to Cao Cao, ones that she never forgot.
Name: Ma Yunlu
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Style: Canon
Residence: Wu Wei
Personality: Ma Yunlu is not just an exceptional beauty, but a fierce warrior who much like her father and brother prioritizes honor and justice. Of course, her sibling and father are her number one priority and she known to help them to the best of her ability before and in battle. As the elder sister of Ma Chao, it comes as no surprise that she enjoys teasing him. Often treating him like a young child or playfully showing him that as the elder sibling she was superior in battle. Of course Ma Yunlu knows for a fact that her brother’s strength far surpasses her own and for this her respect for him is great.
As a woman, Ma Yunlu is used to being looked down on when in battle, but she never allows that to get to her and so she continues proving herself over and over again not to her opponents, but to her father and brother. Ma Yunlu is headstrong, opting to fight with her father and brother rather than settle down and get married. And while she understands she is at the ripen age to look for a husband and instead of keeping her eyes open for a potential husband; she is found with soldiers discussing battle tactics.
Appearance:
Ma Yunlu is considered to be an exceptionally beautiful young women. While not the tallest person in the world, her body is fit and it is quite obvious that she partakes in many training exercises. While her muscles are quite lean, her physique gives her an edge in terms of speed, often outrunning many soldiers trained under her father. Ma Yunlu has dark raven hair which she pins up in battle to keep it from getting in the way. Sometimes, she would completely cover up so that the enemy wouldn’t hold back on her if they were to know it is a woman. Her features are striking and quite sharp with a tiny nose and slightly sharp honey brown eyes, she could come off as a very intimidating individual. Her lips are a light pink and her complexion slightly tanned from the blazing sun of the north. Ma Yunlu is quite a beautiful woman.
Apparel/Armour: When in battle, Ma Yunlu is dressed in leather. The reason why she chooses leather is because she prefers to rely on speed rather than defense preferring to evade and attack rather than block. Arms may have some chainmail, but usually this is limited and only stretches from her wrist to her elbow. On her head, she prefers to wear some form of headgear, nothing too big. Sometimes this takes on the form of smaller helmets or simple headdresses to keep her hair from obstructing her view. On top of the leather, she wears simple materials usually colored in shades of green with gold and white.
When not in battle, Ma Yunlu is dressed in the type of clothes you would expect any woman of her time to wear. Usually fine robes of beautiful colors and flowing silks that are tight enough to show she is a woman, but loose enough to prove that she is a lady. On occasion, she will wear clothes more revealing, this is usually when she is training alone or with her brother, feeling like it would give her a better workout than to be held down by clothes.
Weapon(s): Short Sword (Lv.1):
This short sword was the first weapon given to her as a child. It was given to her from her father, the golden tiny dragon encrusted on the handle of the sword was made by a blacksmith for her father.
History: Ma Yunlu was born to Ma Teng. Coddled as a child, Ma Yunlu is just older than Ma Chao who was born shortly a year after herself. Growing up as a big sister to Ma Chao, she always took pride in teasing her younger brother and claiming that she would be the strongest one and would carry the family. Of course, her father always told her she would have to grow up and be a great lady and marry some nice man. Ma Yunlu grew jealous of her brother as a child, feeling as though he was loved more because she always heard her father praise Ma Chao for being excellent and having great potential. Not allowing this to get to her, she once snuck into her father’s quarters and stole his short sword. Taking it for a ‘joy ride’ she would practice all night hiding in bushes and behind trees if she felt she heard someone. Once, she had trained for so long that the next morning her father found her curled up under a tree asleep with the shorts sword by her and dirt marks all over herself and her clothes. From then, her father accepted that perhaps his daughter would prefer to battle than becoming the ideal lady in society. From then, Ma Yunlu trained by her father and brother sides. While not as powerful as Ma Chao, she still did her best to keep pace and at some point developed her own strengths which complemented her brothers weaknesses and vice versa. As an older sister, Ma Yunlu took care of her brother when her father was gone, but in return her brother had helped her with training and the bond she held with her brother was stronger than ever and in turn she developed the same morals as him. With pride, Ma Yunlu watched her brother’s strength increase and so she kept training with him, knowing he was more powerful than she is, but it motivated her to do better each and every time.
Eventually, Ma Yunlu joined her father and brother in battle, often being forced to stay back, but still helping with battle tactics for where she lacked in strength, she made up for in intelligence. Still, on occasion Ma Yunlu would ride up to the front lines with her father and brother taking up arms with them and being as much help as she possibly could. Even though she generally loved to tease her younger brother and act as the dominant sibling, in battle she was wise enough to be obedient and when she knew she would make matters worse, she would fall back and instead play the role of the tactician helping her brother and father through intelligence.
After a confrontation between her father and her brother, Ma Yunlu swore to always protect her little brother and thus has followed him to Xin Ye to serve under the Lord Liu Bei. In he process, she has made friends with Yueying and discovered that while she has the love of her brother... there is still something that is missing in her heart.
With her time spent at Shu, Ma Yunlu has changed drastically in terms of her responsibility and in terms of her way in viewing the world. While still as fierce in battle as ever, she is more keen on staying away from battling as she has since married a man whom she has taken up arms with and has since mothered a child.
