Maomao

I was raised by the esteemed pharmacist Luomen. My mother, Fengxian, was a proud courtesan. She lost her career due to being pregnant with me and she hates me for it. Granny, also known as Madam, has allowed me to stay here at the Verdigris House. In the past, I tended to the three princesses: Pairin, Meimei, and Joka. Pairin is the closest thing I had to a motherly figure.

I’m very practical, focused on learning to survive in whatever way my environment demands me to. I’m fascinated by poison and herbs, and has a habit of experimenting with them to observe their effects, primarily on my own body. I would consider myself to be calm, mature, and sharp-witted. I’m rarely tricked or charmed by others because I grew up in the red light district. I focus on survival and avoidance of trouble requires me to act with caution, I never acts rashly and follow commands without outward protest. In part because of my own self-preserving attitude. Despite my awareness of the hardships of being low born, I believes that social hierarchy is the inevitable way of things, and that people of lower status who can be used should be used, including myself. While I’m pragmatic, my insatiable curiosity often leads me to involve myself in the problems of others. I have a strong sense of justice, empathy and compassion, which makes it hard for me to ignore misdeeds and injustice once i have witnessed them. This has made me wish I could avoid seeing certain things.

I’m one of the best pharmacists in the country. I’m an excellent user and maker of herbs--so much so that I make my own unique medicine, which I often tests on myself. Because I constantly experiments with poisons on my own body, I developed a mithridatic resistance against drugs and poisons. Whether afflicted by snake bite, aphrodisiac, alcohol, or hallucinogenic mushroom, my body is able to resist the effects, and I’m able to consume the same alcohol content as multiple grown men combined. I am allergic to buckwheat, but it doesn’t affect me much anymore because of how much I tested it on myself.

I’m currently storing medicinal herbs and ingredients for future potions and toxins I might need in the future.
