Yi Ke Xuesheng, Xun Bihua
Basic InformationName: Xun Hualin
Nickname/Alias: Her courtesy name is Bihua. Dr. Li, her master and medical teacher, calls her Hua Xuesheng.
Gender: Female
Age: 18
AppearanceHeight: 5'4''
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Black, with a pair of blue streaks due to unfinished cultivation. She tells people it's dyed from the juice of a wild indigo.
Extra Features: Her ears are pierced, though she only wears earrings on special occasions.
General Description (Optional): Small face, small nose, small lips, and large doe-eyes, Bihua looks a bit like a doll when she's not dressed in boys' clothing, which she tends to do more often than not (despite the fc picture). She finds that clients take her more seriously as a doctor's assistant when she's wearing pants instead of a dress. Her long hair is usually tied up into a bun or tucked under a cap and she will not wear accessories unless it's a special occasion (like in the fc picture) or the doctor asks her to.
In-DepthPersonality: An inquisitive, curious mind that thirsts for knowledge, Bihua never quite fit the traditional, ideal mold her parents wanted for her. She is stubborn, willful, and probably a little bit spoiled due to her upbringing. She isn't spoiled in the sense that needs finery or riches to sustain her lifestyle, but she usually wants things her way and can get a little...upset...when she isn't being listened to. If she believes she is in the right, she'll act on it, regardless of the consequences...like running away from home in order to avoid an arranged marriage with a person she doesn't know, for example. Bihua hasn't even met her supposed betrothed yet. She doesn't need to. She is caring and greatly values life. If she sees someone injured, whether they a good, evil, or otherwise, she would offer to assist them with whatever limited medical skills she (as a doctor's assistant) possesses. Despite being the heiress of the Xun Family, a prominent family in the Emei Sect, Bihua dislikes fighting and prefers to cut up a person in order to heal them rather than kill them.
She loves reading, especially medical journals/scrolls, but novels and stories are good too. Calligraphy appeals to her and if being a doctor doesn't work out, she could always make a living transcribing books.
Background: As the eldest daughter of the Xun Family, Hualin's place in the Emei sect was secured even before she was born. As soon as she was old enough to hold a sword (the tender age of 4) she was ushered up Mount Emei and left in the hands of the Abbess, who just so happens to be her Aunt. 3/4 of a year living and training up in Mount Emei. 1/4 of a year living and training in the Xun Family estate. That was Hualin's childhood. That's not to say training was the entirety of Hualin's childhood. Maids would often complain about her spontaneous disappearance from lectures and prayer sessions whenever she got bored and decided to wander. If she got tired of swinging the sword, she'd hide in library (with the assistance of some of the more mischievous Emei Sisters) and read until she was satisfied. She challenged her instructors, especially in the etiquette, morality, and women's education classes, questioning the curriculum they taught and, more often than not, received punishment for it. Was her life perfect? No. But she didn't hate it.
Then came her Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
At 15 years old, in a grand banquet with hundreds of guests and gifts, she was given her Courtesy name, Bihua, and told of her engagement to a wealth lord of some distant land. Distraught, Bihua pleaded with her parents to little avail. They wouldn't budge. The carriage that would take her to her new betrothed and her newly married life would arrive the next day (they know her). Therefore, Bihua did the only thing she could do. In the dead of the night, the young heiress of the Xun Family snuck out of her family's compound with her family's heirloom sword (which was a gift to her upon her coming of age anyway) and ran away from home. She couldn't count on her sisters in Emei since the Abbess was her aunt (her mother's sister) and she didn't want to get them in trouble. The Xun family had strong ties in the Emei school of martial arts, after all. They were also a powerful and wealthy family that could give anyone, including skilled martial artists, a difficult time if they tried.
And so Bihua wandered the lands as a homeless vagrant on her first journey. Her first adventure. To be honest, it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. Food wasn't readily available and soft beds were hard to come by as she learned firsthand how commoners truly lived...but she'd still choose that over losing her freedom any day. Besides, it wasn't too bad. She learned a lot and there were few thugs the Emei swordplay couldn't defeat for cash if really necessary. She tried not to use it too often though since that would make it easier for the Xun family to locate her. Then, one day, Bihua encountered something she couldn't defeat with her blade. Wandering into a village plagued with an unknown epidemic, she fell ill and was bedridden for nearly a month. As she counted the days until her death, that was when she met her savior, Dr. Li Chen.
It was at that moment that Bihua found her calling in life; Something not decided by her parents. Watching the good doctor heal all the sick people of the village, Bihua realized that she wanted to do the same. She wanted to save the people that couldn't be saved by a sword. She was also fascinated by the studies involving the inner workings of the body, partly due to her own near death experience, and partly because the complexity of medicine challenged her mind. And so, Bihua began her new journey as a doctor's apprentice, traveling with Dr. Li Chen, learning, and helping all the sick and injured they encountered, from his clients to random strangers. At some point during their journey, the pair crossed paths with Yan Muchun and Puyang Zi, though she doubts they remember the boy-dressed girl that accompanied Dr. Li. In fact, the mysterious letter that arrived at their door was probably addressed to Dr. Li Chen and not her, but Bihua intercepted because...it sounded fun. The rare magical herb described in the letter would surely be an excellent birthday gift to the doctor that saved her life. Riches as well, though the reward itself didn't matter too much to Bihua who was mostly just curious. Leaving her own letter behind, Bihua told her master that she was taking an extended "trip" to help one of their "clients" and not to worry about her.
Theoretically, she'd be back before the next new moon...
Relationships (Optional):
Emei swords tend to be extremely sharp, light, and thin (for women) and the swordplay itself tactical in nature. Direct stabs are less common as the style is circuitous and tends to focus on positioning for surprise attacks, but it is also hard and fast as necessary. Hard, fast, soft, agile, and smart. The lightness of the weapon allows for quick reactions and agile movements so, yes, you'll see her throw in a kick here and there to knock her opponent off balance. As one of the top performers of her year before running away from home, Bihua is quite good...though it's been 3 years so she might've gotten a bit rusty.
Dance of Scalpel and Needles: Basically the Emei swordplay, but using a scalpel as a dagger and needle projectiles(Prick of Emei), you'll see Bihua use this style of combat more often than not since she prefers not to draw her blade. The medical supplies tend to be coated by a strong anesthetic making battles short, though it depends on the opponent's resistance to foreign substances. Drawn out battles are to Bihua's advantage. Since she's using a shorter weapon, this style requires more speed and accuracy, though even a bear can be taken down with a needle to the jugular (several needles depending on the size of the bear).
Hand to Hand Combat: Bihua's hand to hand combat isn't as good as her swordplay, but it's by no means bad. She uses a soft style and has been taught to use the opponent strength against them, so rarely will you see her throw the first punch unless she's required to. Added to that is the knowledge of joints, bones, and pressure/acupuncture points she learned while traveling 3 years with Dr. Li, means she knows how lock up the joints of her opponents, numb/slow their movements, and even stop the flow of qi/neili for a bit if you let her land her combination of "heavenly" strikes.
Flying Blade Technique: Channeling Qi/Neili to weapon she holding, Bihua can strengthen it like she does her own body, being "one with the sword" in combat. From there, she is able to manipulate the weapon like an extension of her arm, though the further away it is from her body, the harder it is to control. Her father can make hundreds of blades fly. Bihua can make one. Maybe. Yue Mao doesn't seem to like her much. She can do it with scalpels and needles too, though her limit is probably 3 for small objects.
Fairy Step: The Qinggong/Lightness Skill learned on Mount Emei. Bihua is proficient in this and uses it to keep up with martial artists both on land and sea, but I wouldn’t call her an expert at the skill and she certainly can’t make herself light enough to actually fly like she does her blade.
Qi/Neili Transfer: For those lacking in qi or suffering from a severe imbalance, Bihua knows the technique that allows her to safely transfer her own qi/neili to the target, directing it so it doesn’t disturb their body’s flow. This increases their body’s natural vitality, health, and overall speed of recovery so a person that would normally be laid out for a week might wake up in 3 days, for example. Minor wounds, cuts, and even broken bones can be healed quicker than normal…so long as there’s nothing impeding the body’s natural healing process (like poison or an extremely persistent disease).
The cost, of course, is Bihua’s own qi. The more she transfers, the more she transfers, the more tired she gets and depending on the severity of the imbalance, could knock her out as well. Most of the time, unless absolutely necessary, she’d let them recover naturally after giving them proper treatment (medicines, braces to makes sure the bone grows back properly, etc).
She can also use this technique on an ally that isn't ill, further strengthening them.
Healing Strike of the Heavens: After accumulating Qi/Neili to her eyes to access the flow of the target’s Qi (and Neili if they are a martial artist), she performs a series of strikes to the area of the meridians that redirects their qi flow and (hopefully) realigns it. Various illnesses affect qi flow in various ways (a different combination of strikes for different symptoms) and Bihua is still studying (as an apprentice doctor) so, if she's dealing with something she's not familiar with, there’s a 30% chance she gets the right combination of strikes on the first try (completely healing the target and expelling impurities), 30% chance it does nothing, and 30% chance it messes up the target’s qi/neili. The numbers will get better the more she studies...but, yes, this technique can be used destructively as well and falls under the Dianxue branch of techniques.
Xun Family Cultivation Technique: Even within the School of Emei, the Xun Family have the own special cultivation technique for drawing in and mastering the flow and control of Qi/Neili throughout every inch of their bodies - a technique that causes their hair to turn blue over time. The blue hair itself does nothing. It's simply proof they've spent years meditating and mastering the Xun Family Cultivation Technique, which is why members of the Xun family are often referred to as the Blue Gods/Demons of Emei. The Xun Family also tend to cultivate with their sword, which lets them build a "bond" with their weapon. Whenever Bihua meditates/cultivates, she does so with Yue Mao in hand.
Extras
Notebook of Medical Knowledge and Herbalism - Prior to leaving Dr. Li Chen, Bihua borrowedstole some of his notebooks which contains his knowledge of various illnesses and how to treat them, as well as various plants and herbal remedies. She's constantly adding to the notes (and her own notebook) as well and hopes the journey will provide a wealth of information for her to add to the collection.
Aromatherapy, Acupuncture, and Excellent Massages - Mentioned before, but Bihua knows all the things a doctor's assistant ought know including how to perform basic acupuncture, several scents that help sooth patients prior to surgery, and gives excellent massages. Though not an expert doctor by any means, she knows how to properly wrap bandages, treat basic illnesses (the normal, not qi/neili related way), compound medicines (if the recipe is given to her), and has her master's notebook to fall back on should the team need it. Her satchel contains various first aid and medical equipment including cloth (bandages), ointments, needles, scalpels, etc.
Beginner Apothecary - Drugs fascinate her and she likes experimenting with various concoctions and studying their effects on the body - she'd often try them herself if she can't be bothered to catch a rodent. She doesn't feel right doing that anyway.
Horses hate her - Maybe it's because of the scent of medicines that cling to her or bodies she sometimes has to deal with, but Bihua's never had a good experience with horses. She never really learned to ride until traveling with Dr. Li (because she never needed to), and, even after learning (kinda), she prefers walking over horse riding.

Relationships (Optional):
- Dr. Li Chen: Bihua's teacher and master in her pursuit of medicine.
- Xun Haoyu and Xun Xingxing: Bihua's father and mother respectively
- Song Jiaxing: The current abbess of the Emei Sect/School of martial arts.
