Appearance: 
Personality: Li Hua is considered by many to be the ultimate product of the Zhuni culture, the ideal example of a Zhuni woman. Throughout all of the kingdoms she presides over many women and girls have begun to imitate her as she continues to be seen as more than just their leader but a representation of their entire way of life.
She holds a very high view of herself in both ability and appearance, everything about the way she talks and moves conveys this feeling. Her clothing shows skin and highlights her form, her walk emphasizes her curves to any watching her, her very smile and speech is meant to enthrall others in the allure. She is a vain woman who makes no attempt to hide it, speaking of her beauty in casual conversation and remarking on others lack of or what they need to do to look better. Beauty is very important to her, to such a degree that she takes care of herself to ensure she always looks her best, whether it be to ride into battle or to simply walk down the hall. Regardless of whether your covered in blood and mud she expects you to look good, for beauty of body is the first step to beauty of the mind and spirit. She extends this view to others as well always openly commenting on how others look and offering advice to look better, sometimes even sending people to give makeovers or trainings to help with fitness if she is feeling charitable. She wants everything to look good no matter what her connection to it or her is (although the closer ones are obviously more urgent)
The woman who rules the Zhu Empire is no longer the playful princess obsessed with only having a good time instead becoming a strong and dignified ruler. Her arrogance and sexuality remained largely unchanged but she became much more serious and devoted to things she believed in. Weather a policy or an enemy, if it's for the good of her people or she thinks its right to do she will take it on with an unwavering confidence of success. She shows no fear and is uncompromising when it comes to her ethics and ideals. She will not hesitate to fight to kill for both her nation and the people she cares about, stand against her and she'll put every ounce of her being into taking you down and anyone or anything that stands between her and that goal.
Her personal life is heavily mixed with her life as an Empress and her closest friends are her adviser and her patron Magi. She spends most of her free time hanging out with them and family and often training with them both since she can never know when something will happen. .
Personal Philosophy summed up in 1-2 sentences: I follow my own path and heart. I will not blindly follow those of my ancestors.
Training:(if any): While she was never a slouch in the combat department she didn't start to truly take it seriously until after her parents died. Absorbing her mother's essence gave her the raw material to work with, and her grandmother's extensive training gave her discipline to put it to use. The results were a warrior on a level rarely seen among her people. She has studied and mastered several martial arts styles specializing in the more aggressive ones, her favorite being Imar's Claw: A highly offense oriented style where the user turns their finger tips and nails into deadly claws to rip, tear, grasp, and shred the enemy. She has fought thousands of other fighters since her return and has only lost a few times and even then she often had proved she was the more skilled and dangerous combatant. Any world or realm that knows of her empire fears or respects her as a Master of Martial arts and force to be reckoned with in personal combat.
Magical proficiency: She has latent magical ability, but no formal training.
Chi proficiency and Techniques: Like all Zhuni her powers are a result of chi manipulation and physical fitness, with her limits depending on how much chi she focuses into any one thing. At her absolute base, with only enough chi to live she can outrun a car and toss a pickup truck with one hand. At her best she's collapsing mountains with palm strikes, splitting space ships with kicks, moving at re-entry speeds, and sinking small landmasses. Regardless of how much energy she is using she almost always has a skin tight barrier of chi around her person allowing her to take attacks of all kinds without actually taking damage as the force is deflected or absorbed before it reaches her, unless the field is broken through first.
Her personal mastery of her chi gives her various abilities and techniques utilizing it most importantly being the fact that she can absorb energy in all of its forms. She has shown no hard limit to how much she can contain but more toxic energies tend to make her sick afterwards if absorbed in massive quantities (such as powerful nukes). Beyond that she can use her chi to heal herself and others from otherwise fatal wounds, charge objects with it, form simple constructs such as claws and some not so simple and rather complex such as extra fully functional limbs if the need arises.
Weapons/GearNone normally, though she has a very large weapon collection in her Palace.
Skills: A master of several martial arts styles and chi techniques.
She's also known for being a very good singer, her voice holding a softness and grace that matches her beauty.
She has galactic renown for her skills in the bedroom. Her skills at pleasing men being widely considered comparable to her skill with killing them.
Other abilities: None that aren't a result of her chi powers.
Weaknesses: She can get more emotional than some people would like, her judgment as Empress easily being tainted by her personal views. As such she can be goaded into rash decisions and very harsh punishments for things that may otherwise be minor.
Back story: The Fearsome and legendary might of the Zhu empire is controlled by one equally feared woman, Li Hua Qiao. 18 years ago both of her parents were killed in an attack by what seemed to be the demon-god Kirai, an attack that would have left her dead as well if her father didn't make the ultimate sacrifice. That event and the promise she made with it changed her life and way of thinking considerably. Gone was the happy party girl that the teenage Li Hua was, instead she began to train with her grandmother constantly as focused her physical and mental strength. She spent the next several years traveling all across her Empire; learning about the people, their ways, their problems, their lives. She gained many followers but also many enemies and the fights were frequent but she beat them all, proving without a doubt that she deserved to be their ruler to the vast majority of people. When she officially took the throne she was beloved by all of the empire as both their leader and who many thought would be the one to bring their Goddess back to them. She's lead them through various things over the years, from war campaigns to disasters, no matter what the situation or who she had to go through they all could count on the fact that she would do what she felt in her heart was right for her people and her legacy. She represents a balance between the traditional and the new, the might of their Goddess but also the mind and heart. She is the daughter of Honorable Ling Yun and the Great Lao Hu, the granddaughter of the Legendary Xing Yi, Master of Imar's Claw, The Destroyer of Kravatika, and the Savior of Miha Village. She is the Zhu Empress, Li Hua and all bow before her.
Other: Since Li Hua became Empress she has been a strong proponent for large scale cultural changes and overall change in how the Empire runs itself. For the past 12 years she has been changing law/policy as well as spending time trying to change people's minds and ideas about the way things have been going. She has an idea on where society should head and is doing all she can to make that a reality, to make her Empire one worthy of Zhu's legacy.
