==Appearance==

Iron Butterfly Ping is an unassuming young woman of slight build. She wears her hair and dresses fashionably, at least as much as someone of her station can afford. She is careful, however, to make sure her fashionable clothes will let her move freely, whether in a fight or sneaking around. She also avoids items, such as flashy or noisy jewelry that might expose her.

==History==

Iron Butterfly Ping is the daughter of the notorious bandit lord Iron Lung Ping, so named for his great shout, which strikes fear in his enemies. Iron Lung is a ruthless bandit, but he was also a doting father who wanted his daughter to think well of him. He gave her a great deal of training in both kung fu and the arts of banditry, while telling her legends of social bandits who stole from the corrupt rich and gave to the down-trodden poor, always letting her think that he and his men were such social bandits. Thus, despite growing up in a bandit camp, Iron Butterfly managed to remain fairly naïve. When she came of age, her mother, Bao Lubin decided to disabuse her of these ideas. Lubin was born in a noble family, but had been kidnapped and forcibly wedded by Iron Lung after he attacked her caravan. At first, her family sought her ransom--but when her conservative relatives learned she was no longer a maiden, they considered her dishonored and left her in Iron Lung’s hands. Lubin made the best of her situation, setting up the bandit camp as a sort of court over which she and her husband lorded it over--but Lubin never forgave and always secretly hated her husband. One day, when Iron Butterfly was prattling her father’s praises and Lubin knew that Iron Lung had in fact just done some particularly brutal deeds, Lubin decided to disabuse her daughter of her illusions. She told Iron Butterfly the truth and, as proof, lead her by stealth to see Iron Lung and his men torturing captives, not simply for information but sadistic pleasure. Horrified, Iron Butterfly decided to flee. She was determined to go out and find real heroes who could replace her father as people to emulate--and to become a hero herself, eventually returning to redeem her father from his evil ways.

==Aspect Explanations==
• High Concept: The Bandit Lord’s Run-Away Daughter: Iron Butterfly grew up in a bandit camp and learned many skills related to stealth, fighting, observation, etc. from her father and his men. Now that she has fled, she continues to use them for her own purposes. Growing up in a bandit camp, especially given the way Iron Lung tried to shelter her from the realities of his trade, she is somewhat naïve about the world. There are also quite a number of people who might be trying to track her down--her father’s men, to bring her home; her father’s enemies, for revenge or to use her as a hostage.

• Trouble: Always Sees the Best in People--Even When It Isn’t There: Despite what she’s learned, Iron Butterfly can’t in her heart believe that Iron Lung is a truly brutal man. She sees him as someone who once really was a social bandit and has lost his way and who could, with help, become the hero he always claimed he was to her--and Iron Butterfly hopes that someday she can go back and redeem her father. She tends to extend this optimistic outlook to others as well. Sometimes it does bring out the best in people, but sometimes it means she badly misjudges them.

• Searching for Heroism: Distraught to learn that Iron Lung was not the hero she idolized him to be, Iron Butterfly is searching for a real hero, hoping to become his or her student--or at least find someone she can look up to. She also wishes to become a hero herself. This means she’s going to go the extra mile to help others, but that she’s prone to placing herself in danger as well--sometimes needless danger for the sake of proving herself.

• Attractive but Unassuming Appearance: Iron Butterfly is generally considered attractive by those who encounter her, but not exceptionally so. She certainly doesn’t look like a formidable warrior--which can lead people to take her less seriously than they should. While this may be an advantage in a fight, it can be frustrating when talking to strangers who just see a pretty girl in nice clothes, not someone who is a capable warrior and bandit.

• Emerald Feather the Parrot: Iron Butterfly has a faithful parrot companion, Emerald Feather. He is a bit more than a pet, since, like many parrots, he is highly intelligent and has a limited vocabulary he can use to communicate with others. Thus, Iron Butterfly sometimes uses him as a messenger or spy. Unfortunately, Emerald Feather also has a somewhat churlish sense of humor and is a bit overconfident--meaning he sometimes leaves himself open to attacks after insulting people.

An orphan growing up on the streets of Băo Jiāng, the young Wu Xian Yi became the adopted protégé of legendary courtesan Lady Mei, after the latter heard her singing to herself in the alleyway behind Mei's house. Mei taught the girl about art, poetry and literature, and encouraged her to study the classics. She taught her how to be charming, witty and insightful and, as she grew into a beautiful young woman, Mei also taught her how to exploit her gifts to ensure that others would always be happy to help her maintain a good quality of living.

Water Fairy has already attracted a few notable admirers, including the notorious thief Fiery Forest Fox who, knowing her fondness for books, gave her a stolen Storm Phoenix Form manual as a gift. The young courtesan was immediately fascinated by the contents of this tome and began to study the style. She proved to be a fast learner, mastering a few basic techniques in a relatively short space of time.

Water Fairy is an old romantic at heart and she cannot resist getting involved in other people's problems. Hence she was only too happy to allow Song Bao Lung and Xue Lin to rendezvous secretly at her house.

Lady Mei recently passed away, bequeathing the famous Five Blessings robe to her beloved 'daughter'. The workmanship on this robe is superb and there are many who would covet such a thing of beauty.

=== Accord System===
*Mainworld: Accord
*Atmosphere:Breathable
*Temperature: Cold
*Biosphere: Human Miscible
*Appr. Population: 300,000,000
*Technology: TL-4
*Government: Autocratic, with the High Executor holding the reigns of executive, legislative, and judicial power.

Notes - Founded by a group of Neo-Orthodox Rabbinic Jews who wished to get away from the Mandate's attempts to file off the rough edges of their faith and culture. The original settlers of Accord arrived by accident, when their ramshackle starship literally lost its spike drive due to maintenance failures. On landing safely, they promptly began building their land of promise, splitting it up according to the old idea of twelve tribes of Israel. In the chaos of the Scream, their Rabbinic Council proved too unwieldy to deal with an emergency on the scale presented to them. When the dust settled, the world was under the control of the High Executor, who originally was a military leader. Since then, the successors to the office have self-selected, sometimes peacefully, sometimes over the smoking corpse of the previous occupant. In recent years, however, the generally harmonious nature of Accord society has toned down the violence, and the High Executor now tends to be a very successful businessman or politician, able to buy or cajole his way into the office. The current High Executor is Eli Rosenberg, a wealthy entrepreneur with strong ties both to the Commonwealth government and with a number of Accord-based business firms, including Accord General Services.

Daily life on Accord is quite pleasant for most, the Neo-Orthodox faith having generally loosened over time. However, there are many offshoots of that faith that are far more conservative and stringent, some so much that even their founding fathers would be shocked. For the last few decades, the Huorna have been all the rage on Accord. Young Accordions are often seen apeing what they believe to be Huorna fashions, or having themselves tattooed to resemble Huorna body markings, or listening and swaying to Huorna soul chanting.

Weapons on Accord are not outlawed, so long as they are carried discretely, but their use is another matter, save in the most absolute cases of self-defense. The locals tend toward discussion as a means of conflict resolution, often at incredible length, especially over matters of ancestral land claims, which are almost an obsession with the elder generation, since many of the records of the original allotment have been lost.
