• Moves: Psycho Cut, Night Slash, Destiny Bond, Teleport
• Other: Shu and Wu are a frustrating pair to go up against to say the least. The two have mastered working in tandem, taking full advantage of Wu's teleport ability to dance around foes, coming from every side and disappearing before an enemy hit can land. The only snag is that while the two are usually well-synced, every now and then Shu will be teleported somewhere she doesn't anticipate, throwing her off and leaving her open to attack.

Appearance:

Personality: Though she seems quiet and introspective, Shu is surprisingly rash, rushing into action and making up her plans on the fly. She's usually quick enough to make up for any lack of preparation, but it can often lead to her getting in over her head. She's just calm enough through it all that she looks like she's in control. (She's really not in control. Ever. And she knows it.) Calm does not mean gentle, however. Shu is ruthless, both as an opponent and a person. Life as a perpetual target has made her wary of strangers, closed off, and quick to distrust. As skeptical as she tries to be though, she's desperate for any sort of acceptance. If you somehow manage to earn her trust, she'll stand by you no matter what – even to unhealthy extremes.

Short Biography: Shu is the product of a brief affair between Beth, a woman from Leonias, and Han, a man from Phoenicis. They were by no means in love with each other, but they managed to put their cultural differences aside for at least one night of companionship. Then they learned Beth was pregnant. She stayed with Han in Phoenicis long enough to give him a daughter, but left as soon as she was able – a single night spent with the enemy was one thing, but to start a family with him? She'd be disowned (and likely suffer much worse fates) the second the baby called her "Mama." And so Shu grew up with her single father. While there were glimpses of Phoenicis in her, it was clear she had foreign blood in her veins.

Shu and Han were looked upon with suspicion, hatred, and even disgust. Han's business declined and Shu dealt with mocking and sneers from the other children every day. People were certain they were spies. And if not, then traitors at the very least. Perhaps that was why Shu was so eager to become a soldier and fight for her country the moment she was old enough. Her father had been an accomplished swordsman in the war before an injury forced him to retire, and he taught her everything he knew about fighting and wielding a blade. People were no kinder to her in the military than they'd been in her hometown, but at least they treated her with some respect when they saw her fight.

It was almost too good to be true when her emperor called for a tenuous alliance with the warring nations. If they could end this pointless conflict… then maybe being born of two nations wouldn't be such an evil thing. She would no longer be the daughter of a traitor and the enemy. And so, Shu volunteered for this foolhardy and dangerous quest.
