Xiang
Background
Xiang is an exile from the Jade Empire. She has failed to scheme like the rest of the snakefolk, and as such, was henceforth banished until she proves to her nation that she is diabolical and cunning enough to return. She came into the world with multiple identical twins, her clutch of eggs being an experiment to create the perfect snakefolk. However, she was considered a defect even after surviving their rigorous selections making her into a very effective spy. On the other hand, her sisters are ruthless and brutal, feared by many. Even though there is a growing scrutiny and dislike of snakefolk, she proudly shows her heritage and simply gets by through sheer charm. Due to her failings to be evil but still pretending to be, she is very amusing to children and youngsters alike, sometimes receiving gifts, from four-leaf clovers to toys which she secretly cherishes. She aims to become an irreplaceable pillar in a community, however, deep down believes she doesn't deserve love. She is a skilled chef, pretending she hates doing it when she truly loves it, and she tries to keep everyone's tastes and allergies in mind, she often used MSG in her cooking. However, she currently is broke and in debt, with most of her business ventures failing.
Xiang has a zibby sidekick able to copies the organs of people nearby. It has ended up more useful than expected.
Powers
She possesses magical capabilities like many from her nation, though her magical aptitude is quite limited compared to her peers, her potential in this aspect shadowed by the fact she isn't much of a direct combatant. She actually could make excellent potions able to heal most ailments and wounds, but she would rather use her talents to make weird potions or poisons that do a variety of effects, such as growing a mustache in seconds or making one grow a tail. If she were to use her talent of alchemy to it's fullest, she would possibly be within the top 10 most skilled within the Familiar Lands. Being a snakefolk, she is venomous, her bites causing temporary paralysis.
