Lu Lingqi | Other

Name: Lu Lingqi

Age: 18 (Born 179)

Appearance: Lu Lingqi is a fairly tall, slightly muscular young woman with short silver hair and gray eyes. Her appearance is deceiving of her actual strength. She’s typically seen in armor in shades of black, white, and silver, with a small headdress that has a red-feather accessory, subtly matching her father’s. Lingqi very rarely smiles, often scowling or looking stern.

Personality: Lu Lingqi is a solitary, courageous woman who shares her father's love for battle. However, she fears being left alone due to being left behind during her father's flight from the capital. She also harbors mixed feelings towards Diaochan, acknowledging the maiden's importance in her father's life yet not fully forgiving her for using him-- her relationship with her stepmother is complicated, but Lingqi does feel a sort of gratitude towards Diaochan for making her father smile.

Initially resigned to marrying Yuan Shu's son, she is relieved to hear her father calling off the arrangement after learning how much of a fool her fiancé is. While many potential suitors find her attractive, none of them are brave enough to cross Lu Bu whose intimidation keeps Lu Lingqi from gaining much companionship. Nevertheless, she is content to remain by her father's side as a full-fledged warrior.

Lingqi has a deep-seated fear of abandonment thanks to being left behind by her father-- but tries to not resent it, since she knows her father loves her deeply. She’s a rather lonely young woman, and friendship with other women her age tends to make her flustered. Zhang Liao, Lu Bu’s general, has a friendly relationship with Lingqi, and Lu Bu trusts Zhang Liao to protect Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi’s weapon of choice is her father’s old crossed-pike-- a large and rather heavy weapon that she can wield with surprising ease. Lingqi is also skilled with a sword and shield.

Background: Lu Lingqi is the daughter of Lu Bu and Lady Yan. Growing up within her father’s turbulent life, she is used to strife and chaos, seeking to train herself to support her father’s quest for might. During Lu Bu’s flight from the capital, Lu Lingqi was left behind. Pang Shu, one of Lu Bu’s subordinates, was able to reunite Lingqi and her mother with Lu Bu. At one point, she was promised for marriage to Yuan Shu’s son for an alliance-- however, Lu Bu called off the marriage and brought his daughter back home.

Lu Bu and his forces are currently combatting against Cao Cao, in the battle of Xiapi.
