Tales of the Jade Mantis/Relationship Chart

This relationship chart shows how the various characters from the Tales of the Jade Mantis see each other.

Pei Pei

• Pei Pei's relationship with Christopher Jarrow is: He seems to be an honest enough man, so what is he doing in this nest of vipers?
• Pei Pei's relationship with Hugo Raynes is: Bitter, angry, occasionally drunk. A typical man. No problems, but no great warmth.

• Pei Pei's relationship with Marcus Chong is: He's okay, unless he as much as scratches the Mule. Then he's a clumsy brute giving her more work.
• Pei Pei's relationship with Saul "Snakeoil" Jackson is: In contrast to the rest of the crew, Pei-Pei is rather enchanted by Saul's charisma and the fact he's close to Nanny. She trusts him much more than is wise.
