Huang Yueying | Shu

Name: Huang Yueying

Age: 27 (Born 184 AD)

Appearance: Huang Yueying is a fairly tall (Standing at 5’7), beautiful woman with long red hair tied in a ponytail and green eyes, with a red bindi on her forehead. Despite her unusual and somewhat foreign (by Chinese standards) appearance, she’s still considered very pretty. Yueying prefers to dress more practically and unconventionally than most women of her time, commonly seen in pants, boots, and with a toolbelt at her waist.

Personality: Yueying is a mature and collected individual. Intelligent and elegant, she appreciates the value of patience and planning. To her friends and loved ones, she is quite generous and can be quite nurturing to younger people. Despite her composure, Yueying has been shown to be quite sarcastic at times and will openly chastise those who act selfishly or insensitively. She also has little patience for those who underestimate her and chauvinistic attitudes in general. Yueying takes great pride in her skills and learned abilities.

She is the only person able to see behind Zhuge Liang’s stoic and sometimes arrogant demeanor, as she knows him best. She frequently encourages him to take care of his health and well-being. She refers to him as “my husband” and “my love” in more intimate contexts. Though their marriage was arranged, she genuinely loves her husband and will do everything in her power to help shoulder his burden. They frequently moongaze together. The couple prefers to maintain a polite and professional demeanor in public, very rarely engaging in affection.

Huang Yueying’s choice of weapon is a dagger-axe, though she also has a wrist-strapped crossbow with a blade attached that she invented herself. In battle, she will often have various siege weapons at her disposal.

Background: Huang Yueying is the daughter of Huang Chengyan. She grew up highly intelligent and well-educated by her scholar father, with a strong interest in astronomy, inventing, wooden puppet-making, and map-making. Common rumors went around that she was ugly-- Yueying simply chose to embrace these rumors, to prevent men from pursuing her only for her appearance, as she sought a husband who would respect her intellect.

Huang Yueying challenged her suitors to visit her personally by claiming that she was ugly. In the event that a suitor would visit her, she would hide herself under veils as a quiet dare to test their resolve. When Zhuge Liang came to her, her figure was silhouetted by moonlight and her head was covered with two red veils. Unlike other men, Zhuge Liang entered her room alone and did not hesitate in removing her disguises. As he removed the first veil from her face, he calmly stated that her ugliness was a misunderstanding by her father. Zhuge Liang was then rewarded by Huang Yueying's joyful visage and gratification. While her marriage to Zhuge Liang was arranged, the two share a genuine love and deep respect for each other, with their matching intellects and interests.

When her husband offers his services to Liu Bei, she is given the option of leaving him for her own safety. However, Yueying has no regrets standing by Zhuge Liang's side and even takes on the challenge of joining the front lines and raising their child at the same time. She also demonstrates an understanding of the various philosophies of the era, agreeing with her husband's idea of creating new laws derived from them. Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying have one adopted son, Zhuge Qiao, who’s twelve.

Huang Yueying’s two largest inventions for Liu Bei’s forces are a tiger tank juggernaut that breathes fire, and a wooden oxen used for transporting supplies. She’s also been experimenting with some sort of cooking robot.
