===Aspects:=== '''High Concept:''' The Bandit Lord’s Run-Away Daughter * Invoke: 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. * Compel: Growing up in a bandit camp, especially given the way Iron Lung tried to shelter her from the realities of his trade, Iron Butterfly 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. * Invoke: Sometimes it does bring out the best in people … * Compel: … but sometimes it means she badly misjudges them. She might take self-serving misrepresentations or lies at face values, when others would know to be skeptical. She might focus on trying to help someone be a better person when they need to fought or otherwise confronted about their misdeeds. '''Phase One:''' 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. * Invoke: This means that Iron Butterfly can often push herself to greater heights when she is risking her own safety to help others in distress. * Compel: This also means that she’s willing to go to go the extra mile to help others, even when it interferes with other plans she has. She’s also prone to placing herself in danger as well--sometimes needless danger for the sake of proving herself. '''Phase Two:''' Curious About All the New People: Having grown up in relative isolation in a bandit camp, Iron Butterfly is immensely curious about all the new people she is meeting in Bao Jiang and eager to learn as much as she can about them. She is a bit of a gossip--not maliciously so, but out of an earnest curiosity to learn more about others and know what’s going on in the big city. * Invoke: On the plus side, this means she’s very well informed about goings-on and her genuine interest in others makes many people take a liking to her. * Compel: On the down side, many consider her quite nosy and she does indeed sometimes stick her nose into things that are none of her business, sometimes going to significant efforts to eavesdrop on others. This breeds a certain amount of resentment and sometimes gets her into bigger trouble, especially if she’s caught listening when she shouldn’t. '''Phase Three:''' Emerald Feather the Parrot: Iron Butterfly has a faithful parrot companion, Emerald Feather, a gift from her father. 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. * Invoke: Thus, Iron Butterfly sometimes uses him as a messenger or spy. * Compel: 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. ----
