==Background/Bio==
Shǔ has been Shǔ ever since she was orphaned on Shadow. She went from being a vent-rat in the black to a gutter-rat in the Core to a pawn in border world organized crime. Her superiors eventually saw promise, while Shǔ saw weakness. In short time, there were no superiors, and Shǔ put herself in place pulling strings behind a multi-system dust empire.

The Alliance infiltrated and toppled that empire over the course of the last decade, apparently finding useful interactions between dust and Pax. Shǔ has never been caught, allowing her own pawns to take falls. She knows that her revenge must be subtle and come from an unexpected direction, so allowing the Independent Rim to pull her strings as she pulls others? It is all but a means to an end.
