◈Jien, or otherwise known as ▇▇▇▇, is a person from another world. Having survived a cataclysmic event that ripped through her and the fabric of time and space itself, which resulted in her being shattered into many “seeds” that have become their own people in the world they were cast to. These seeds took root in their respective lands and have grown into the people of that world, but they remained as “Shards” of Jien.

◈While her Shards got a chance at a peaceful life and a place of belonging, Jien was left scarred by the event and was left to wander an unknown land with only her notebook to her name. The notebook was her object of calmness and she'd often sketch or journal in it, and along her travels she has found out she possesses a new power. As long as her mind's eye could see it, imagine it, she was able to manifest an object from her notebook, although she strays far from attempting to create anything living. The closest thing to something 'alive' being created by her hand are the horns on her head and her tail, as well as another form she scarcely even thinks to use.

◈Her arrival on Xianzhou Luofu prompted both awe and some more unsavory reactions. She wasn’t well received by the Vidyadhara at first as they considered her existence an odd miracle which they didn’t take for a good omen. A few individuals of their kind extended their hospitality towards her and taught her the languages and their histories. One of these ‘mentors’ described her as sluggish and lazy but with a buried determination and endless potential. She had a great love for histories, and it took a long while for her to come around to expressing herself openly. She earned her reputation as a “Fake Vidyadhara”, but was otherwise known for her strictness and protectiveness when it came to guarding the hatchlings and the young foxian children.

◈Around this time a team of Armed Archaeologists was granted access to an excavation site near her place of residence and she’d sometimes linger around and watch them work, but the archeologists were scared to approach her no matter how curious they were. And whenever they’d try to talk to her after, it would seem as if they were never able to catch her. At long last they got an audience with her, and afterwards Jien managed to get them access to a better site for their research on the condition that they share their knowledge and findings with her.

✵ Proxy has all but severed all her connections to her family life as well as any ties that held her to her humanity and has strayed down all the dark alleys to reach power. Having been raised in a rough environment she grew into a temperamental woman, bitter and seemingly set off by the smallest disagreements and mishaps; representing the worst of Jien, embodying all her anger, regret, all the dark thoughts and illnesses.

✵ In appearance, she is little different to what Jien YueXia looks like, having the same facial structure and body. The small differences only come in clothing choice and the red streak of hair that Proxy has. But to someone that is not well acquainted with either of them would be none the wiser to who is who.

✵ Upon closer inspection of her health and body, it was found that Proxy suffers from some form of Mara which flares up in moments of great anger or distress, and sometimes when she forces herself to go into such highly sensitive emotional states. As a traveler from another world, the illness doesn't strike her as hard or as quick as it would a native of this world. It causes flashes of blindness which lead to Proxy acting impulsively and on sheer instinct alone. Due to this, Proxy has taken steps to calm her soul and body by learning ways of meditation and other calming arts. She always smells of incense, and dresses lightly in warm and light colors.

✵ As her Mara is still in its development stages, she doesn’t possess any physically anomalies from the sickness apart from a thin branch of ginkgo leaves that grows in new spots every time Proxy rips it out. Ginkgo leaves follow her everywhere she goes.

✵As another form of medical treatments against the illness, Proxy has taken on practices and rituals that involve cannibalism.

⟡Jien has written many books under the name ‘WangWei’ and these books have become quite popular across Xianzhou. From children’s books about a hedgehog and his warm home and all the way to complex pieces of horror and political fantasy dramas. These books are rewrites of the books from her home that she doesn't want to forget. This is her way of remembering her own world and sharing her love of it to others, leaving blank pages where she doesn’t remember the text.

⟡Jien is avoidant in her attachments to anyone and everyone, but she too longs for connections and often finds herself watching others interact, sometimes remembering her old memories, feeling banished from the world but finding a weird sort of solace in that. She has learned much from just observing and often found herself thinking what would have happened if she did something else or said more when she could.

⟡Her current name Jien YueXia was given to her by a traveling merchant who she agreed to travel with to Xianzhou Luofu - that merchant is believed to be Luocha.

⟡The name YueXia has two interpretations, first being “exceeding/beyond the (rosy) clouds” and since the pronunciation sounds like 月下(yue xia) it also means ‘under the moonlight’.

⟡Jien is able to summon a dragon form for herself from her notebook, and her sounds and roars have distinct undertones of shuffling papers. Although the form is essentially borne from paper, her scales and teeth are hard to the touch and don't resemble paper at all, possessing a faint sheen of gold to them. The form requires great effort and will to keep up, and Jien scarcely ever reaches for this power.

Jerenika

Apolonija
Ambrosia

Naoko
Minobe

★The Shard Jien considers as the best of herself and is the most proud of all the achievements Jerenika has achieved and all the hard times she prevailed through.★Jerenika possesses a longer life span due to her blood constitution and also due to a contract she has made with Liyue and its ex-archon, now her husband.

ʚɞ Apolonija is another Shard that has survived great hardships and came out hardened and, in some ways, a better version of herself. Jien considers her impulsive and bearing much fire that can be warm and inviting but also scalding to some.ʚɞ Jien regards Apo as younger sister in need of guidance and a soothing presence by her.

‡ Naoko is the kindest of Jien’s Shards, forgiving and gentle in spirit despite the ropes that bind her soul and restrict her emotional display.‡ Her Cursed Energy Overflow exhausts her, but unbeknownst to Naoko and those around her, all that Cursed Energy fed into a dormant cursed spirit of a Shrine Maiden residing within her blade.

★She was a part of Dottore’s team of Fatuus when the Fatui was still a young organization, but after he had been handed her sister and after he had killed her, Jerenika went on a rampage, destroying several important documents and blueprints before fleeing to Liyue where she received hospitality of the people there. A kind of warmth she didn’t receive from her own kin.

ʚɞ Apo was born eldest of two in her family, and throughout her life it was as if her touch brought death upon anything and anyone. As a child she'd try to save a handful of animals she found hurt or injured, but none of them made it in her care, and out of anguish and helplessness she turned to killing the injured or dying animals to end their misery

‡ The Shrine Maiden had gone against Sukuna on several occasions and led go his eventual downfall, but has perished in the event herself, transforming her consciousness into a blade that was passed down in generations in the Minobe family.

★She has made a family in Liyue, having three children of her own and two adopted ones, and that is not to even name the fellow adepti who have made their place within the family as uncles, grandmas, aunties and so on.★She works as a manager at the docks of Liyue but has also pursued a degree in law, which she incorporates in her job. She has a keen eye for ‘rats’(Fatui) and guards the city from their scheming.

ʚɞ She became brazen and blunt after the fall of the Wall and even more secluded after the death of her childhood friend Luka after which his father nearly assassinated her.ʚɞThroughout her time in the Scouts she proved loyal to them, putting all her personal relationships and emotions last and putting duty first, even when it meant fighting old friends.ʚɞ After the Rumbling, Apo returned to a solitary life in the countryside with Reiner Braun, healing along with the wounded world. She'd go to have twins which she named Sayid and Nusa.

‡ Naoko was sent to the School for Curse Users in hopes to seek remedy for her Cursed Energy Overflow.‡ Later, Naoko would be blinded by the Shrine Lady within her Domain Expansion in which the Shrine Lady sought to possess her to go against Sukuna again. Afterwards, Naoko would also perish in battle after seeing her friend Mayuka, another cursed spirit, be killed by Sukuna.
