The Apothecary Diaries Rpg

(Maoamao: Maomao is an illegitimate member of the La Clan raised in the red-light district. One day, she got kidnapped and sold by bandits, and she suddenly found herself as a servant in the Imperial Palace of Li, where she used her sense of practicality, keen deductions, and insightful knowledge of herbs and illnesses to solve the mysterious problems within the Inner and Outer Courts. Maomao's approach to life is very practical, focused on learning to survive and thrive in whatever way her environment demands her to. She is rarely tricked or charmed by others: she is one of the few to be unaffected by Jinshi's beauty and charm. Her mindset has helped her come to terms with matters that many would find scarring; for example, she considers her near-rape, and later her kidnapping as enraging situations, but also as inevitabilities of living in the red-light district. She is a very pragmatic individual who is well aware of her position in the world as someone with no status who can be considered expendable at a moment's notice. She often follows commands without outward protest and forces herself to not acknowledge (and even withhold) significant events she had witnessed in the Imperial Palace as a form of self-preservation, such as the fact that Jinshi is not the Emperor's brother but his son by Ah-Duo, as she is well aware that her status as a commoner means that she is easily expandable if it means to protect a noble and that her words might get someone killed. In part because of her own self-preserving attitude, she finds people who will help others to their own detriment painful to watch. Perception: Having been raised in the red light district, Maomao is very good at dealing with and manipulating people. Along with her experiences and her knowledge of medicine, she is able to deduce and solve problems more effectively than most. In spite of this, while she confidently recognizes her cleverness, she does not consider herself as highly intelligent by academic standards as the only thing she can bring herself to properly study is medicine.)

(Jinshi: While Jinshi appears to be serene and collected, he possesses a lack of self-confidence. Although he is intelligent and diligent as noted by Maomao and he does have a head for untangling mysteries, he is neither a great scholar nor a brilliant general and thus believes that he pales in comparison to the large shadow that is his “older brother”, the Emperor. However, Jinshi is aware that his looks are extraordinary and thus uses his appearance and natural charm as weapons in order to make up for his perceived mediocrity in other areas. Maomao notes that he has a double-sided personality in this regard; while he puts on an angelic persona in public, he is more childish than he lets on, a fact that only a select few know. Charm: Possessing a beauty that attracts both male and female, Jinshi is able to sway most people with his looks alone, although it can be a problem sometimes when he attracts unwanted attention from eccentric people. Influence: As an imperial prince, Jinshi has great political power and influence inside and outside the Inner and Outer Courts, though, because he served as a eunuch rather than a royal for much of his life, it pales in comparison to the Emperor's influence. It is still enough to buy Maomao's freedom from Verdigris House, build a literary school for palace ladies, lead a battalion during the Shi Clan rebellion, and provide alimentary, medical and investigative aid to the Western capital during the locust plague. He is currently working on a policy which would allow women to become medical court officials, who would replace the male and eunuch physicians inside the Inner Court.)

(Pairin: Like the other princesses, Pairin became more miserly with age, resembling the Madam in that aspect. But unlike many courtesans, she is sells her own body not just for money, but also for pleasure. As Maomao puts it, Pairin is a sex demoness who will go after not just customers and manservants, but also her fellow courtesans and even some of the apprentices when she feels too pent up. She does have preferences for muscular men with large "frogs" and even has romantic for her age, wishing to be carried away from her captivity by a prince. Additionally, because of her loving and nurturing attitude towards Maomao, the latter suspects that Pairin genuinely longs for motherhood.)

(Meimei: Meimei is an emotional person who is very attached to her fellow courtesans from the Verdigris House. Although she usually is kind, gentle and patient, she can short-tempered at times, especially when it is about games. Like the other princesses, she became more miserly with age, resembling the Madam in that aspect.)

(Joka: Compared to the other two Princesses, Joka is colder and more aloof, though she is still warm and thoughtful towards her fellow courtesans. Despite being a courtesan, she does not like men, whom she sees as untrustworthy. Her words are elegant but harsh, to the point the letters she writes while being angry must be checked by the Madam before being delivered to her customers. Like the other princesses, she became more miserly with age, resembling the Madam in that aspect.)

Appearance: Maomao is a young girl who stands relatively short in height and possesses a petite frame. She has blue eyes and dark forest green hair, which is typically tied up and sectioned with a light blue ribbon that holds a portion of her hair back, whereas two strands of hair can be seen framing her face and are adorned with two beads each; the top one being red and the bottom one being sky blue. The bandage wrap on her left forearm hides the number of self-inflicted scars from where she had tested upon herself when experimenting with remedies and poisons. Maomao's main outfit consists of an aoqun hanfu with a light green top and a long, burgundy skirt. The inner robe in her top is white, while the collar of her light green robe is both pale and dark green. She also wears a pair of dark green flats to accompany this outfit. In essence of her usual wear, Maomao prefers to wear more simple and practical garments and will otherwise avoid wearing elaborate outfits and makeup unless the opportunity for her to do so arises, giving those the impression she dresses rather plainly. Despite avoiding makeup, she frequently paints freckles using clay around the bridge of her nose. Some of her freckles are temporary tattoos she gave herself using a needle. On the rare occasions where she would dress up and remove her freckles, she is considered to be attractive, especially when posing as a noble lady or a courtesan, something that usually leaves most people to fail in recognizing her as the same person entirely.

Jinshi appears to be a beautiful eunuch who was placed in charge of the Inner Court and often requests for Maomao to solve mysteries in the Imperial Palace in exchange for rare medicines. He finds her attitude refreshing and amusing, but his childish curiosity evolves into romantic affection. Jinshi's most prominent feature is his outstandingly beautiful face. Frequently described as having "the looks of a celestial maiden", he has a feminine appearance, with long, silky, jet-black hair and obsidian eyes. In the light novel, he is stylized with dark purple hair and pink eyes. Despite his feminine face, Maomao comments that his body is "surprisingly well-built", and that his hands are smooth and masculine, though callused from wielding a blade. His appearance is said to be so captivating that a mere look at his face is enough to cause most girls and men to swoon; Maomao even fears that Jinshi could start a war with warlords vying for his affection. When she puts lipstick on him, she comments to herself that he has reached a level of beauty such that, if anyone besides her, Suiren and Gaoshun saw him, there would be a national crisis. Unlike most other court officials in the series, Jinshi wears his hair in a half-back style tied with a cloth. He is most often seen wearing court official robes. While he wears an angelic smile on his face in public, he removes this persona in privacy and reverts back to the childish expressions he normally wears.

Pairin is described as a beautiful, tall woman with a voluptuous figure. She has fair skin, a waist length, serene brown eyes, and plum purple hair that's sectioned and held back, leaving the rest to fall loose, saving two chin length fringes that frame both sides of her face, whereas her bangs are parted down the middle to reveal a red huadian in the shape of a flower in the center of her forehead. Among the bodacious courtesans at the Verdigris House, she has the largest breast size due to hergalactorrhea. For clothing, Pairin wears a cream colored hanfu that's usually accompanied with a pink and faux furred shawl. As for accessories, she opts to wear blue dangle earrings and a blue flower on the right side of her head.

Meimei is a beautiful young woman standing at average height and possesses a well-endowed figure. She has fair skin, dark purple colored hair that falls to mid-back length and is otherwise styled into a side ponytail, leaving a section of her hair to frame one side of her face, whereas the rest of her fringe frame the left side of her face, soft sea-green eyes, and a beauty mark beneath her right eye. For her outfit, Meimei wears a seafoam green, long sleeved top along with a long royal blue skirt and is usually seen with a coral-colored shawl. For accessories, she wears a gold necklace, pink colored flower earrings, and a magenta-colored flower pin on the left side of her head.

Like her sisters, Joka is described as a beautiful young woman with a well-endowed figure. She stands at average height, possesses fair skin, calf length indigo colored hair that's styled both elaborately and is otherwise sectioned, sharp amber colored eyes, and is typically seen with a flat expression on her face. As a courtesan, Joka wears consist of a maroon colored hanfu with blue accents. For her choice of accessorizing, she wears a silver tiara on her head and red colored earrings. She is also seen with two small lilac colored dots for makeup above her thin eyebrows.
