Background/Bio
If anyone asks, she used to be the executive assistant at Wéixiào Shù* Rubber & Paper Company on Greenleaf until the corporate office and its tree plantations were burned for supplying polymers for Independent manufacturing. This is actually true, but it's far from her whole story.

Huáng Xiùlán was born in Lóngmén, Greenleaf, which is ostensibly a logging town deep in the rainforest-covered mountains. Like many such towns in the New Sōng Mountains, it hides a martial temple as an open secret, preserving and refining fighting styles brought from Earth-that-Was. The Lóngmén temple specializes in the ancient art of Jeet Kun Do, tracing their style to the work of the warrior-poet Bruce Lee who built the first monastery deep in the now-mythic hills of Hollywood. Her uncle was next in line to be Abbot since before she was born, and her mother is one of the temple's top talent agents, finding placement for newly minted warriors who feel the need to go out and test themselves and bring money back to their families. She grew up with a lot of expectations. Many graduates of the fighting school go on to the Triads or private security, and Xiùlán's mother already had several Triads bidding for right of first offer. There was just one problem...
Xiùlán didn't want to be a killer. She didn't even want to fight, really.
Before she finished learned the advanced techniques, she ran away, got tattoos that couldn't mesh with Triad tattoos, and looked for work wherever she could get it. In addition to her combat training, she'd helped her mother with the many managerial tasks that came with being an agent, so she had experience she was able to use to land a job as the secretary to a logging company boss.
And then the war happened, and the life she'd tried to build away from fighting burned. So she went back to Lóngmén and begged her uncle to let her resume training with the most punishing regimen possible, so she would be ready to go to war as soon as she could. In addition to the brutal close-in core of the art
The Independent recruiting officer was skeptical of the harmless-seeming young woman seeking to join up as a covert operative until said apparently-unarmed woman had pinned one of his arms to his desk by his sleeve out of nowhere.
As the war went more and more badly overall, her assignments turned more defensive, trying to protect Independent assets from Alliance spies that could cripple their few remaining bases of operation. This is how Xiùlán met Mel, as she was assigned to protect him when he visited $base. When Alliance commandos showed up, trying to kill the leaders before the battle could even start, she went from 'secretary with a uniform' to slitting throats left and right in the blink of an eye, and shepherded him off to a recently uncrewed ship...
