Quotes

Background Story

4★	A graceful dancer with fascinating moves that is rumored to have put men, as well as beasts, under a trance. Ling's origins are completely shrouded in mystery, but some believe that her grief-stricken expression and ability to express genuine suffering through her performances may provide a clue about her true identity. While many speculate that she may have been the princess of a ruined country, others believe her to have been an assassin who traveled the world targeting royalty. Some even claim she was the incarnation of a white dragon that was chased away from its home.
5★	A wandering dancer who inspired both fascination and grief through her craft. Although the story behind Ling's origins differs from person to person, she was actually born in a village. Having lost her parents before she could even remember, she lived in solitude for many years until she met a wandering dancer. Taking the dancer as her master, she learned the skills and abilities required in order to become a dancer herself. Ling quickly rose in popularity following her training as she performed from bar to bar, but unfortunately tragedy would soon strike anew.
6★	A dancer who entranced humans and beasts alike. Tragedy struck for Ling when her master was killed before her eyes by a bandit as she toured the countryside for her performances. Luckily she managed to use her dancing skills to flee from any further danger, and met a monk on the road whom she hired as her bodyguard. Feeling safe in his care, she eventually developed feelings for the monk. However, he had his own goals and dreams to realize, and thus left her to accomplish them, never to return. Consumed by her own grief, she ultimately perished during her travels. Her heartbreaking story has survived to this day through the songs many have written about her.

Fusion
