As mentioned in the title, this is a descriptive roleplay! I am a semi-literate rper, so just know before you enter that I'll be expecting five or so sentences for a response.
Occupation Mercenary for hire. Services both Piltover and Zaun (the Undercity)
Appearance Delicate, ethereal features. Olive-toned skin with gray eyes, with high cheekbones. She would look royal if not for the way she generally dresses and carries herself. Red and black hair that's bob length on one side but long on the other. Wiry, lithe build. Tattoos: sleeve on her right arm of a dark, lush forest during a fierce thunderstorm. The one on her neck as pictured below. A smattering of others across her body (I'll make it up as I go along). Piercings: left eyebrow, nostril on both sides, right industrial and cartilage, left conch.

^her casual appearance, but the white parts of her hair in this drawing are dark red.

Personality She's headstrong and fierce. Slippery from her time from dealing with shady people, and has no qualms about lying to get herself out of a tricky situation. Absolutely hates anyone telling her what to do, and tends to be independent and self-reliant. She's rowdy, and very touchy and flirty when comfortable, even more so when she's drunk. Rarely serious about anything except for when she's angry or annoyed.
Strengths Very acrobatic and fluid in her movements. So fast when she's fighting that she almost turns to a blur. This is the manifestation of residual magic passed down from her mother, but she doesn't acknowledge it as that. Very decisive and quick on her feet. Good at talking her way out of things. Charming smile.
Weaknesses Not very empathetic. Not great at actually taking punches, but usually adrenaline will get her away with it in a fight. Definitely would not hold up under torture, though. Abandonment issues once she gets attached to someone.

Background A/N: A lot of this was the result of some diving into League of Legends lore but honestly that was just for my own interest, so don't feel pressured to know any of this in order to rp with her.
Before Xina was old enough to know better, she lived with her mother, Nolera, and father, Khe, in the lush, green nation of Ionia, a culture that is infused with magic and that favors balance. When the war with the brutal nation of Noxus reached their land, Xina's mother and father made the choice to flee to protect her. The journey to Piltover was long and difficult, and Khe was killed along the way by Noxus troops, sacrificing himself to get Xina and her mother onto the boat that would get them to Piltover. That was the state that Nolera arrived to Piltover in: freshly widowed, her nation at war, with a baby to take care of and nothing but her magic and wits to get her by. Nolera did get by in the Undercity, finding odd jobs in places where her magic wasn't scorned, but rather accepted by the people who needed it most. They scraped by like that for a while - Xina and Nolera, on their own - until the development of Hextech offered Nolera a unique position and expertise, being a magic user where Piltover had little. By strength of will and the help of a little bit of magic, Nolera climbed Piltover's political ladder where she now sits on the Council. While Xina saw her mother's power and cunning, what she mostly saw was her absence. She was a child when they fled Ionia, and didn't understand the nobility of sacrifice or how hard her mother worked to get them where they were, the things she had lost to get them this life. She doesn't even remember her father, and her mother barely speaks of him. So, Xina never really felt connected to her mother the way other children did and frequently rebelled in her own ways. She got to know the Undercity well, and made fast friends with almost everyone she met, staying out late and causing trouble wherever she could. She denounced the use of magic, preferring traditional weapons and machinery where she could make it. When they moved to Piltover, Nolera had nearly had to drag her out of the Undercity, and she was furious for months afterwards. She still visited the Undercity frequently and her business services people both from Piltover and the Undercity.
Scenarios: Coming later. In the meantime, make one up!
