FATHER: forgotten MOTHER: forgotten SIBLINGS: N/A OTHER FAMILY: N/A OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE: dimitri [original werecat] - old friend HISTORY: liu wasn't created out of hatred, out of experimentation, nor a curse, or anything of the sort. liu's mother and father were both magi and both being hunted for their execution. to this day, liu still has no idea why. out of fear that their daughter would become what they were, and would have no protection, they gifted her, but never really had the chance to tell her what she would become. a few months after her eleventh year of life, liu's parents were caught and executed. liu ran, and on the first full moon her gift showed itself. liu still remembers the pain of her first shift. the excruciating pain of her bones breaking and reshaping, her spine extending to a tail, everything. all to be in the shape of a beautiful black leopard. liu survived in that form for the majority of her life, only shifting back to bathe and to spy on the changing times when needed. it was the only way she felt safe. a thousand years passed and liu finally made the decision that she needed to do something with her life. she needed to have purpose. she couldn't spend an eternity in the form of a big cat and not live. so, she made a journey to early russia. at this time, it was mostly slavic tribes that incorporated the area, but she was welcomed. her beauty and her wise gaze struck the tribes and they protected her as if she were a jewel. she helped them, as well. she protected children and acted as a nurse during child birth for the women of the tribes. she revealed slowly what she was to the people of the tribes, and they still accepted her, some even being magi. once she showed them who she was, and there was a possible death, she would heal by turning the victim, only if they chose to be. after two years of being with the tribes, she heard rumors of there being a different type of werecat roaming. being an original and not knowing of any others but herself and those she sired, liu took it upon herself to find him or her. it wasn't very difficult, seeing as how there weren't many other tigers roaming. all of liu's creations were different types of leopards. once she found him, she offered him her friendship and explained to him what she was, and that she had been created the same way he had been, only under different circumstances. she remembers him as being very bitter about what he was, and what had happened to him. liu was worried that he would lash out, and his anger would get the best of him, and at times it did, but she kept by him and helped him and soon, a friendship began to spark. she came to find out his name was dimitri as time passed, and the two formed a very close bond with one another, and formed a loyalty. eventually, liu made the decision to leave russia and move on to different cultures, not wanting to spend an eternity in one place. even though she left, she knew she would see her friend again. liu traveled all across europe. from greece, to sparta, to italy, to france, and spain. she lived in each culture for a hundred years or more before she would move on. eventually, new species began to make themselves known. werewolves came, and so did vampires and shifters. magi had been around for thousands of years, even before she was created. magic was the oldest form of supernatural activity. liu watched as cultures and cities were destroyed because of the feuds that broke out between different species. she watched as her own creatures turned against werewolves and werebears, shifters, and vampires. the war was ongoing, and years passed and it never ceased. no matter where she went it was brewing. humans had even taken up arms, and magi were beginning to take sides. the peaceful world that she once knew was crashing down, and it deeply saddened her. liu even made her way down into the depths of austrailia, eventually. she also made her way to south america, and once the new world of north america began to flourish, she traveled that as well. five thousand years passed, and the modern world had taken over. she grew and blended with it, taking on technology, cars, fashion, everything. it was beautiful to her, to watch how her world had changed through the time. in present time, she lives happily in new york city as a fashion designer. she is well-known for her clothes, and that is it. no one knows of what she is, and that is how she wants to keep it. she is a ghost, and that is how she feels it needs to stay. |
