"Behind every great man, there's a great woman."
- Unknown.
Name: Dong Furen "Furen"
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Style: Canon-ish.
~ Couldn't find her name, thus 'Dong Furen' = Lady Dong..aka..Li Ru's wife, Dong Zhuo's daughter..
Residence: Xiapi
Personality:
A woman whose father is an infamous tyrant and husband, the shrewd but cunning serpent. Like her father, Furen is outspoken but gained ettiquete from the many concubines of his harem and was taught that timing was everything; for a woman, there shall always be a situation when silence may be needed. However, behind closed doors, the headstrong daughter is not affraid to place her opinion to her husband. At first looking as the innocent rose, while concealing the dangerous thorns that lay beneath, Furen is an intelligent woman in her own right; which was fortunate for the vast wealth her father gained, enabling her education to be of the finest standards. Furen's mind complements that of her husband, devoted to him and only his ideals while allowing herself to give minor aid to those who are his true allies. A fox behind the viel, secrecy kept when it can be used in the most valuable way.
Appearance:
Considering the origins placed behind her, Furen has gained considerable beauty; which could come at as a surprise when looking to her father. However, she was taught not to use such attributes to her own favour, as she has become the witness of the devastation it could cause. Of an average height, the young woman has been influenced by her father and taken to adoring the finest silks the realm has to offer, with decorative jewels placed into her hair; it was a luxury she could not give up. The long silken hazel locks are treated with care and always placed into a coiled bun, held together by decorative hairpins, only allowing two strands of hair either side to be left loose. Though a woman, the elegance is not to be underestimated, for behind such a slender physique, once again surprising from her gene pool, is a considerable amount of physical prowess; something taught over the years..for one your family become the realm's greatest enemy, protection is of the highest importance.
Apparel/Armour:
As a woman whose father had the entire realm within his grasp, Furen has kept the robes of her past and taken great care in having them look their finest. Red being the favoured colour for each outfit, a symbol of fortune and hope that wealth would one day return to her estate. Combined with such a vibrant colour, is an immitating yellow hue that resembles the gold she used to wear each day; however, only until her power is more stable again will she return to wearing the golden silks.
However, many would believe a woman now established as the only survivor of her family would retreat from the dangers of war until the heir is secure. But, of course, Furen is the daughter of a tyrant and strength is a necessity for protection; thus, she has been taught in basic martial arts and swordsmenship..funded by the money she was able to save from the purging of her family. Never wishing to leave her husband's side, Furen will courageously aid him on the battlefield; but, while he remains within the tents she is not affraid to place herself in firing line to protect not only the name of her father but that of her husband. Furen's battle garb is personally designed for herself, robes that are made for warfare and agility. While a thin layer of chainmail is placed underneath with the combined plates to protect the small body parts; such as, thighs, calves, shins and forearms. On the battlefield, there is no place for the grandure nature of her desired attire, instead Furen shall place her hair in a tight but very simpley decorated bun; mostly through not wishing to damage the hairpins that she favours most.
Weapon(s):
For now, Furen has settled with a simple Jian sword that is quick and able. Her knowledge of martial arts gives her own technique a wonderous visage, aiding in swift and procise attacks that could leave any man in a state of confused euphoria. However, it is but a Jian and when its opponent is a weapon far heavier than itself then it can become vulnerable for damage; especially with direct contact hits, thus leaving her having to make the correct decisions and timing procisely when, and how, to attack.
History:
From the depths of hell this flower was created, between a man forever known as the tyrant of the realm whose daliance into self desire was widely spread. Elovated into the luxuries of nature her father brought before her, without name she was placed into the clutches of the Eunuchs that safeguarded the harem to the Tyrant's bloodline. Dong Zhuo, a beastly figure whose appearance was spoken to be far beyond of desirable and his weight heavier than any mountains that border the Kingdom. Draining the land of all it had, consuming the blood that he brought forth..or so everyone believed. Yet, how could such an atrocity produce a child so pure and guard the innocense until the very end of his life?.. Dong was a frail girl whose youthful naivety did not know the hatred the masses had for her father, yet to her, this demon was a mere deity and one embrace allowed all rumours disperse.
As a young girl, she was placed into the care of the Eunuchs and the Consort that she knew as 'mother'; however, behind the curtains secrecy came to coil the neck of the lineage..was it the most beautiful Courtesan or one less favourable? Dong would never know, but all she could not forget the woman who she claimed mother. Taught the wiles of a woman, she took to the musical instruments placed before her..sewing was a mere daliance and dance a simple pass time that she found easy. As her father reached the peak of his career, being placed next to the Emperor, Dong gained an education most girls would have dreamed about and took to the classics..traditions of old were her desires and to find the wealthiest husband a goal; to place pride upon the expression of her father. It was no lie that to the blossoming girl, Dong Zhuo was the god to her doomed existance..
Soon those of talent flocked to Dong's father and to secure their loyalty to him, her siblings were becoming forcefully married to those he held most significant. Her fate was with the rising scholar and cunning serpent, Li Ru, a man that she at first had concerns over; it was not the man she had seen in the vision of the night.. Yet, there was something growing as they spent the days together and the nights seemed so strange without him; as the dutiful wife, she wed and transfered her Heavens to him.. Unlike her father, Dong became loyal to only Li Ru.. However, the soft white clouds would not remain, soon thrown to-and-thro being replaced by the storm clouds of a dangerous fate. Within her intelligence Dong could foresee something most frightening, the fall of her father and possibly, her husband. Continuing her studies in the classics, she took up Martial Arts training and become learned in the strategies of warfare. If those around her father would no doubt be vulnerable to betrayal, it would be her to protect the ever-growing frame of her father..
Dong became acquainted to one being, a warrior, most ferocious and intimidating; even though it could be said sometimes mistreated by her father. Lu Bu, Fengxian to those close to him. Indeed one to worry about, however, there was one figure within the darkness to cause the world she adored to collapse; Diao Chan. A harlot within her eyes, unworthy of either man's affection, but yet her schemes worked. Then a third became involved, a being she did not know..Ba Zeng. All these figures rising from the flames of betrayal, soon to be the end of her father's life..the soul being torn from him by these three figures. The youth too torn from her, however, as the spirit of Dong Zhuo elovated into heaven..it took a turn and serged throughout Dong's being. She could feel his presence, the strength he had was resonating inside; the one figure she could see at fault..was not the doings of her father, but the seductive manners of Diao Chan. But, how could she act against a man she respected? Yes, the respect she had for Lu Bu was as a sister would to her brother. Soon enough the blood ran, the Dong clan was being cut down generation by generation and soon it would be her fate to join those who were lost. Father, mothers, siblings, cousins..all were not spared. Fortunately for Dong, the shadows of night covered her life, but she knew the reasons for her survival. Li Ru had kowtowed to Lu Bu, one influence for her life, and then, the being of the now-established Warlord was not one of hate; Dong had placed no threat upon him.. Thus, the debt to him was unrepayable...
Now, with the title of Furen "Lady", using all she had learnt, Dong happily became the sub-bordinate of the man she viewed as a brother; to aid Li Ru in his career and help guide Lu Bu in his endeavors..while trying to handle the hatred she now bore for Diao Chan...
~ Named 'Furen' as she is the last surviving member of the Dong Zhuo's family. Thus characters call her 'Furen' instead of 'Dong' or any name...
