Xue MíngHúa 薛冥華

Character notes by @howling-harpy :

Born 四娘 (Sì-Níang lit. Fourth Daughter), since at the time it was common that girls were not named at all. Her childhood nickname was 小桑 (Xîao Sang) according to the berries she picked.
Born in a southern region to a poor rural family.
The family profession was silk weaving that includes raising silk worms, handling the cocoons into raw material by boiling them and taking the catepillar out, then weaving the material into thread.
She was married off unhappily, lost her first baby in childbirth, and ran away. According to gossip, she managed to curse and kill her husband in process.
After joining the Xue clan, she started cultivating relatively late in life, and thus looks older than cultivators usually do.
Her Master gave her the name MíngHúa, "the underworld flower", reminding her that even after tragedy and torment one can flourish.
Her main spiritual tool is her flute, but she also carries a red parasol she uses as a weapon if needed.
Eventually she inherited the clan leader's title, 蟄魅閣主 (ZhíMèi GéZhû), "Master of the hibernating demon pavilion".
She's Yáo's adopted mother, even though nowadays he adresses her formally as the clan leader like all other disciples. She's hurt about this, but chooses not to say it. The elders always said she babied him too much and became too attached.
She still enjoys all sorts of hand crafts, and sews all her own clothes. She also does embroidery, basket weaving and shoe-making.
In the cultivation society, she's known as a tricky, strong-willed and a bit brash woman who has a tendency to get her way. Continuing the Xue tradition of getting the clan over the class barrier is her responsibility and she's succeeded mostly with jokes, sheer gull and bribary with candy and cakes the Xue clan is famous for.

“二哥，你陪我一塊兒死吧。”

Er-ge, Stay and Die with Me.

Loosely inspired by (and taken as an opposite stance to) Klimt's Tree of Life.

Lotus Pier - 蓮花塢 (and Jiang siblings)

秋雨打燈蓮花落滿塢中少年心隔水仍發好夢

Autumn rain patters against lanterns, lotus flowers fall, filling the pier. The heart of my youth, separated by water, still dreams of pleasant things...

I totally forgot to post this piece done in art-therapy last year.

“It’s alright. You can tell me,” he reassured softly. “Don’t worry. People don’t usually think much of me since I don’t talk a lot, but that is what allows me to listen. You can trust me. What happened to you? What do you want?”
