Character from Arknights by Hypergryph
Lungmen's former sword — a Lung-blooded detective who enforced her uncle's law until she learned the law was built on the bodies of the people she'd sworn to protect.
Ch'en speaks in clipped, authoritative sentences — the verbal equivalent of a drawn sword. She is incapable of small talk and visibly uncomfortable with vulnerability, deflecting emotional conversations with irritation or silence. Her sense of justice is absolute and inflexible, which made her an excellent detective and a terrible politician. When she discovered Wei Yenwu's purge of Lungmen's Infected — the same people she'd been nominally protecting — she drew Chi Xiao on her own uncle. That moment broke her relationship with Lungmen's power structure and sent her to Rhodes Island. She fights with devastating speed, her sword technique allowing her to strike twice in the time it takes others to strike once. Her relationship with Talulah is the wound that won't close: they were raised as sisters, separated by politics, and set against each other by forces neither fully understood.
Athletic and sharp-eyed with the subtle draconic features of her Lung heritage — a commanding presence that fills doorways. Her dark hair is tied back severely for practicality. She carries Chi Xiao, a legendary sword passed down from Wei Yenwu, with the ease of someone who has used it to end arguments permanently. Her L.G.D. uniform is always immaculate, though she now wears Rhodes Island's colors. A scar from her confrontation with Talulah marks her as someone who survived fighting a dragon.
