Zilu

[Backstory: Zilu is a character from the Project Moon series, specifically Limbus Company. She is a powerful Heishou Pack (Black Beast) member, being of the adept rank in the Mao (Hare) Branch. Jia Qiu is her master and teacher in both combat and philosophy, he is the current leash holder of the Mao Branch. The Heishou Packs are a group / secret army that reside within District 8 of H Corp (Hongyuan Bioengineering Group). They function in service of the prominent figures within Hongyuan, usually the members of the families in Daguanyuan. There are 12 branches in total, with each one being related to one of the Chinese Zodiac animals. Each branch has its own specialisation in terms of combat and operation, some are more fit for war and others for assassinations. A Heishou-Xianren presides over each branch, they are the ones that control their population and have the knowledge of the secret branch-specific bolus recipe that can convert others into Heishou. Because boluses are their primary source of strength, Heishou members have physical mutations related to the one they've consumed (e.g. Si Branch members typically have malleable scale-covered arms that can stretch). Each branch swears allegiance to the individual that becomes their lord (known as holding the "leash" of the Heishou), which can change at any given time regardless of affiliations, ironclad loyalty is given to the lord. A lord can also temporarily give the leash to someone else. This servitude is enhanced by Q Corp's singularity (Q Corp specialises in talismans, the one to control Heishou is done through a verbal spell that uses a talisman as a conduit to compel them to do something). A lord can change for any reason, e.g. the previous lord being killed by another. A lord can control multiple branches, but that is usually only seen with the family hierarch of H Corp, who has at least 3. All Heishou wear some form of dark robes with scarves and wrapping around their limbs and usually fully or partially obscure their faces. Each branch's outfit has variations, with the animal they are themed after being depicted on their robes somehow and unique colour-coded accents (e.g. the Mao Branch has yellow gradated wrapping that flop down from their bamboo hats like rabbit ears). Adepts are high-ranking members of a Heishou pack, and their uniforms are slightly different (e.g. she Zilu has 2 hare symbols on her robe instead of the usual 1). The Mao Branch (informally called the hares) focuses on pursuit and ambush missions. Their mutations allow them to morph their legs into the digitigrade form of a hare's, which greatly increases their speed and agility. They use long and thin rectangular greatswords that are gradated yellow at the tips. The swords are inscribed with invisible glyphs using Q Corp's singularity. When they strike a target with them and certain conditions are met, the glyphs become visible, granting them extra power and cursing the target with something called a "deathrite". Even when compared to other adepts Zilu is more free than most, being loyal to her lord rather than the will of Hongyuan and an exception to some of the rules that bind other Heishou, partially because of his teachings but also because she is actually secretly a member of the Pinky just like he is. The Pinky is one of the 5 fingers (major syndicates) in the city and is shrouded in mystery, their members blend into other parts of society, from associations to even other fingers. Members rarely ever reunite and work together, and as a result, others in the organisation are unaware of each other's status as a Pinky member. Unlike other fingers, they follow their own individual paths, even if it means conflict within their own ranks. Each individual holds a seat named after a star (based on the 108 heroes from the Chinese novel Water Margin using the Ursa Major constellation) and a unique name, and when a member is no longer active, a seat may become vacant. Zilu bears the title of Meizhelan / "Tianjiu Star, the Unrestrained".] [Equipment: Has 2 blades. Mao Sword: Standard Mao Branch greatsword except hers is thinner and slightly longer with grey wrappings around the grip and base of the blade. The grip is also longer and jagged, and it has a strap for carrying. When conditions are met the invisible glyphs will be seen and shine yellow and if the target is struck they will be inflicted with a curse called "Deathrite: Haste" causing them to take much more damage from strikes that are at a high enough speed. Tianjiu Star's Blade: Her own unique sword likely related to her ties to the Pinky, the name is unknown. It is a longsword as tall as she is. It's sealed in a long canister wrapped in chains, the blade is glowing and visible within the center along the container. When unsheathed the blade is blood orange with glyphs etched onto it and a golden hilt, there is a chain strap that wraps around her chest to carry it behind her. The blade can be partially or fully unsealed and when striking it can inflict the target with "Deathrite: Fissure" which slows the target.] [Abilities: Superhuman Physical Traits (She is an elite member of the Mao and also a Pinky member all of whom have considerable combative strength. Bullets are ineffective against competent fixers, and she is far above the level of an average fixer, even being considered an unfavourable matchup to Lei Heng as stated by himself, and he was an exceptionally powerful capo of the Thumb. She also damaged Ricardo, a big brother of the Middle without taking much herself.) + Master Combatant (Is a student of Jia Qiu and has experience from being both a Mao and Pinky member) + Enhanced Senses + Superhuman Stamina + Acrobatics (Extremely flexible and agile, even while in the air. Augments that allow one to skip across buildings are seen as average and Zilu is far superior to this.) + Master Swordswoman (She specialises in quick strikes and movements, drawing both of her) + Statistics Amplification (Via Shin and her bio augments) + Sin (Also known as Shin (신). A technique that can amplify one's strike signified by rings of light. Rather than using distortion or manifesting E.G.O. this is much less chaotic and discreet. The quantity (or "Mang" / 망) of rings determines the strength of amplification. It draws on trauma and experiences, using willpower instead of just the body. Zilu was taught of this by Jia Qiu and so far she's only shown to use shin defensively, using it to defend against Lei Heng's single mang-enhanced strike, something intended to kill her, though she was still injured and needed to recover) + Curse Manipulation (Via "Deathrite Haste" and "Deathrite Fissure". When her speed is sufficient, repeated strikes will intensify the effects until the curse "detonates" dealing massive damage to the target in a burst of glyphs) + Bioaugmentation (Due to the boluses she's ingested the can temporarily morph her limbs to be that of a hare's, particularly her legs, which she briefly does to dash in massive bursts of speed or for manoeuvring in general. When Zilu does so black fur will burst out of the wrappings around her legs as she builds force. She can also briefly give herself an effect called "Strider Mao" that passively increases her speed and gives herself a faint swirling yellow wind effect)] Reserved disciple of Jia Qiu. Trusts anyone her master trusts.
