**Ability Specialties:** \\
Melee: Knives
Stealth: Shadowing

===== Backgrounds Merits and Flaws =====

**Backgrounds:**\\

Pure Breed : 3 (Despite being a "half-breed" due to being descended from a Garou and a non-kinfolk. Her heritage shined through, showing her family line was commonly littered with Ragabashes. Which to many Garou, shined hard in her talent in stealth. While she has not fully mastered the Tribe's proclivities in politicking. She has shown some level of it and thus promise that can be further grown)

Resources: 2 (Finding out she had a niche Penchant in her Arts. She was able to utilize that and actually sell her various odd-jobs of paintings and so on. It's not enough to break hard, but it's been enough that combined with living in Sept grounds, that she's generally been able  to gain a steady amount of income)

-----

**Merits:**\\

Mixed Morph (Mastery): 5 (Having had to learn by her own for a period due to how Shadow Lords recruit their Cubs. She had to learn her own capabilities by herself, due to that and her own stubborn-ness. She decided that the reason Mixed-Morph was harder to do, was because she needed to practice it. Combining with that and her even as a young teen, realizing that going full Werewolf is a terrible idea. She proceeded to continuously train herself on it. Bashing her head metaphorically in order to make herself be more at ease with Mixed-Morphing. Due to that, out of her own unorthodox self-training period. She is fully capable of utilizing mixed-morphing with relative ease compared to other Shifters. She commonly uses it to gain wolf-like senses in Homid form for better perception purposes, or shifting Crinos claws for surprise attacks.)

Fair Glabro: 2 (An indirect result on her practices with Mixed Morphing. She was able to practice with her Glabro form, and thus is fully capable of morphing it in a non-Veil breaching manner. Only keeping the more physically capable abilities while reducing the veil-breaching wolf like qualities)

Language (Traditional Chinese): 1 (Mother's Birth Tongue, she learned it from being raised, simple enough)

-----

**Flaws:**\\

Nightmares: 1 (Ruslana often dreams of her disastrous first change, and the resulting gruesome death by her Mother)

Enemy: 3 (During the period between her first change and being officially inducted as a cub of the Shadow Lords. She continually harassed and violently killed members of the Triads as part of her desire to gain satisfaction and "penance" from allowing her mother to be killed by them. While she was capable enough in destroying as much evidence of her existence as possible, [Abusing Delirium to make the few witnesses entirely unreliable while also doing her best to destroy the CCTV servers of the bases if she had to go in camera-recorded places, while generally minimizing the usage of Crinos form].

She still made some mess that resulted in the survivors having a gun out for her. As such they know her appearance and her original birth identity, and while they do not necessarily know she is supernatural. Blood must be paid with blood, and the Triads do not let their enemies go free so easily)

Hated (Triads): 3 (Ruslana severely holds a hate and passionate anger for Triads. Believing them to be utter scum no matter what, if she finds out someone is part of the Triads. She will lose all care for them and only being a former member would result in her not pushing to have them mauled or "punished". Even then she harbors no positive reactions to the former members, as she views them inherently tainted as the Wyrm)

===== Backstory =====

**Physical Description:**\\
Face Claim: https://x.com/roich_YoU/status/1899398832569614414

Short Black Hair that had bangs on the front.

A Young woman of asian-european descent. As such she's taller than average (at 5"11).

She constantly holds a poker face that swaps between a smug gleeful one during espousing and being immersed in her hobbies, and then a mix between adrenaline and rage holding a face of euphoria during combat.

Whenever she needs to act in public, her eyes are a stark blue. However when she can, she often shifts her eyes to a lupine ones that are an intense almost glowing tone of yellow.

Often commonly spotted smoking hand-rolled cigarettes.

If one is able to fully disrobe her, they can see a bullet hole scar aimed directly at her back's spine.

**Personality:**\\
A masque between a trickster and a sadistic rogue. Seen with an irritated poker face as she speaks in random riddles and pointed barbs, all done to gauge the reactions of her peers. Almost the perfect mocking Ragabash.

Despite her attitude though, she knows when to shut up and be respectful as she can. When working for a competent leader, barbs may be given but she follows dutifully, taking into heart the Shadow Lord philosophy.

She likes hiding, preferring to be within the shadows. As it allows to her to be better hidden until the time is right to strike.

In combat she almost dances during it, weaving and moving to flank her enemies as she gleefully stabs them both with a blade at the hamstring as well as a biting remark.

Outside of that, she obsesses over own hobbies, finding interest on her own, especially in pouring more time into her art.

In the end she doesn't act out much, and isn't very sociable. But she does her best to be dependable, both as a follower, as well as making sure the Pack works well.

**Backstory:**\\
(WIP Backstory)
Mother was a Chinese immigrant. Strong headed and wise enough to avoid trouble from the local gangs. She eventually was able to set a stable business that eventually gained the attention of a Shadow Lord. Who simply fancied her, and rutted with her, assuming that she would not even bear a proper kinfolk child.

As such Xiao-Lang was born. Callow Kinfolk.

Was raised by her single mother and already showed penchant for sneaking around and being a generally cheeky brat.

First change was done around 18, Tongs finally decided to corner her since they felt she was being independent long enough.

Tense showdown caused her to first change, which resulted in her mother being killed in the cross fire. Which raged Xiao-Lang further as she proceeded to devour the gang members.

Eventually out of regret and worry of being caught, she ran away from home and lived in the streets. Trying to eek out a living while also mastering her powers as she figured out what she was.

During that time she practiced on her own, to further explore her new condition. Which made her believe she turned into a Yao-Guai or demon like creature, and she decided if she was to become a monster. Then she would punish those she felt caused trouble and suffering to her mother.

The Triads.

As such the solo campaign of harassing and butchering the members of the Triads when she can was made, doing her best to hide within the shadows and seek targets, she took them down with ravaged or slit throats. Using the self-training she had from her mother in the blades, the innate talent she had with stealth, and her newfound nature. Which allowed her to gain eyes of wolves as well as take gunfire and heal from them.

Eventually she was found by the Shadow Lords. Who helped explain everything to her, after having killed the last person who she felt was personally involved with her mother's death. She had no purpose. Seeing as there was no reason to fight back, she simply accepted it and followed with them.

Feeling lost and full of frustrations, she pushed herself heavily in her training, leaning on her talents and becoming a more cunning yet violent Ragabash.

After she proven herself and became a Cliath. She generally worked on her own, sometimes joining packs as she worked for her elders in the Tribe as she became a scout, ambusher, and whatever she could to fulfil her Auspice.

Eventually she found out about the Stark Council, finding interest in it, she found out how it supposedly was an alliance of the various supernatural forces. Figuring she could figure out more and possible take advantage of it. She traveled to Florida and seek this supposed alliance and see it for herself.
