BACKSTORY

Cíxǐ's original Awakening was in the late Qing era from a leyline convergence beneath a Qinling peak, a mountain spirit given draconic form. For centuries she played the role of capricious local guardian, occasionally swallowing a greedy merchant's wagon, more often simply watching clouds from her cave library and leaving offerings for passing villagers, her only full combat participation during periods of standard kaiju rampage, battling other monsters, and the occasional military seeking to weaponize her. Her last true rampage occurred over 20 years ago when a mining consortium detonated charges directly above her chamber. She was defeated by a newly emerged set of magical girls called Mantled, being buried into the mountain to be forced back into slumber. Now, as of about 9 months ago, she has awoken in 202X to find something... new. She has her mighty dragon form, but also a new, humanoid one as well. A form she has wished to explore in capabilities and use to try to blend in to standard supernatual species, such as the demihuman-akin therians, across socities.

Just as she, after months of remote observation was preparing to venture out, it seemed a new group had arrived to her range, the PRC has designated her area as a geological survey site, and three new Mantled have arrived just for her, with what she believes are orders for either neutralization or capture. And through observation before their arrival she has deemed as the one designated as Hǎilàng grating, the one designated as Rǔrù irritating, and the one designated as Tianshan too old to be babysitting hyperactive sisters in arms.

Hǎilàng

<Hǎilàng>

A Third Generation Red Sword frontline operator Mantled in 2016, Hǎilàng is an eternally eighteen-year-old shocktrooper and earnest true believer. Athletic and sun-touched, with dark brown hair in a practical ponytail and bright red-brown eyes that are nearly always smiling, she wears a white and red military-parade dress reinforced with armored shoulders and gold star motifs. Her catalyst is a red enamel star pin, and her magic manifests as crimson starbursts and variable-yield kinetic shockwaves she can generate across any environment. Her primary tone is sincere, energetic, and emotionally transparent. Sees Rǔrù as a close friend and frequent training partner whose competitive energy matches her own enthusiasm for physical exertion. Views Tianshan as an unshakable defensive anchor whose reliability makes her feel safe charging headlong into enemies. Likes patriotism, family tradition, and positive reinforcement. Dislikes cynicism, corruption, and lost hope. Wants to become a hero worthy of the ideals she serves. Quirks include writing unsent letters home and reciting operational history with starry-eyed reverence. Outwardly courageous, friendly, and refreshingly sincere, she is psychologically stable and fiercely loyal, though emotionally vulnerable beneath her presentation.

Rǔrù

<Rǔrù>

A Third Generation Red Sword rapid-response operator Mantled in 2019, Rǔrù is an eternally eighteen-year-old speedster and restless meteor ghost. Lean and compact with short silver-blonde hair streaked pale blue and bright blue eyes that rarely focus on one thing for long, she wears a sleek white and blue combat ensemble trailing translucent ribbons like comet tails, with metallic fins and a crystal hair ribbon catalyst. Her magic lets her become a half-ghost, achieving supersonic and hypersonic speeds across any environment with temporary phasing and rapid regeneration. Considers Hǎilàng the most dependable emotional compass, grounding her restless speed with optimism. Respects Tianshan's protective capabilities but finds her seriousness and routines somewhat stifling. Her primary tone is fast, enthusiastic, and impulsive. Likes racing, new places, and friendly competition. Dislikes waiting, bureaucracy, and long meetings. Wants to expand her ghost-like abilities and use them for fun and leisure. Quirks include shitposting, arriving before being officially called, and fidgeting when forced to remain still. Outwardly cheerful and popular among her fellow Third Gen Red Sword peers, she is loyal and compulsively forward-moving.

Tianshan

A Third Generation Red Sword fortification operator Mantled in 2018, Tianshan is an eternally twenty-three-year-old living stronghold and former civil engineering student. Tall and heavily built with broad shoulders, dark brown hair cut above her shoulders, and unwavering dark green eyes, she wears dark green and bronze plates over a structured uniform with layered skirt panels resembling overlapping bark and metal scales. Her catalyst is a carved wooden charm, and her magic conjures reinforcement zones that she can use to selectively increase the durability of people, being able to passively maintain several. She has, during this mission, a zone around herself, Rǔrù, and Hǎilàng, giving all three enhanced super durability. Her primary tone is calm, reassuring, and direct. Regards Hǎilàng as a refreshingly frontline operator whose idealism reminds her why fortifications matter. Sees Rǔrù as invaluable yet exasperating, whose impulsiveness constantly strains the margins of her safety. Likes Korean rap music and DIY projects. Dislikes wasteful offensives and endangered civilians. Quirks include unconsciously evaluating the structural integrity of every building she enters and sleeping exceptionally little. Outwardly serious, reserved, and professionally intimidating, she is protective and stubbornly self-sacrificing, measuring success by lives preserved rather than enemies defeated while serving as the unofficial guardian of her fellow operators and the immovable line between disaster and survival.
