Jadara has ben recalled to the Empire and Emissary Zulana has much to do. The official story is that Xia has been sent to be an aid to the Emissary and help with some of the smaller tasks and duties. An attache to the unofficial ambassador. Others say they've heard that the Emperor just needed some more time for this Daughter to mature. Away. Away from the palace. If you know what I mean. All Daughters of the Empire are loved; some are just loved more with distance.

A heart shape face is carved from the stone of high cheekbones and a strong chin and jaw. Were it not for the puff of her cheeks and the blush of life this woman's face might be a severe countenance no matter what she attempted. With age has come wisdom and understand, and a clear appreciation for what she has to work with; small smiles lead to larger ones frequent, keeping her from having a sunken-face look too often and creating a more welcome appearance. Thin, arched brows rise over eyes of light brown, set at the slightest of angles to move them upwards towards the outside of her face. Her hair, darker at the roots and fading to pale honey by the ends, is kept shorn just past shoulder length in an always stylish and flattering cut. She's built lithe, and when she moves it's with the grace and surety of one that knows who they are.

Xia is one who grew up caring more for books of puzzles and riddles than for toys. Yet this was not to be a life alone, lived in solitude. Puzzles and riddles lived their best life when shared with friends. So Xia became the one to invent games, ways to weave her riddles into them so that her friends were not always on their toes and could be caught off-guard. Xia was the friend that like to prove herself clever. Some of that grew out of her as she aged. Some of it was shoved out of her by masters who had better ways to teach her than her mind wanted to work. And writ or no writ, job or no job, some of that still comes through when she verbally spars or tests a new friend to be. She likes to be clever, but even more she likes to be around clever.
