Here I am, taking ages to tag out to more things (I just need the right music... and caffeine)

But for the mini-event, I'm feeling like Liuxi would be better support? If I do shadows, I like making enough visual indicators for presence. Need to think...

The main two sides go between the fact that she's still a wild animal, and the fact that she's someone in a big position now, and should be acting like it.

So very much the ambush predator personality (laying in wait for people to arrive before suddenly showing up) but also acting... Haughty? She doesn't want people to think she thinks herself better than them, or that being the position she has matters, so taking that to an extreme.

I can put it to visuals pretty well, because it wouldn't be a huge caricature distortion.

Like, her normal self
Compared to the shadow self

she's new, so it feels a little silly doing shadow selves as well lmao

Ooh, maybe any attacks she makes have the venomous properties that Liuxi also tries to keep people from finding out about (aka, she's very careful to not have accidents)

that's clever

she'll be mortified by the royalty act, because she prefers the humble ways lmao

/lurks in here

Also, there's something funny about someone saying they're a doctor/nurse/physician, and asking to pick their brain

only for it to be about something practical, and not trying to sneak out quick health care (can you take a look at this thing on my....)

Liuxi will eventually learn that sometimes Stephen is Just Like This lmao

changes subject. get ready for half an arm's length of skin just starting to float off from the rest of her

I say that's the length, but what if... it's just from the hairline by the neck, of something weird, and going down. just be ridiculous

I've collected so many monsters... Oh geeze
