Zhao Yanmei was born in the bustling port city of Kame'Ryu but her life truly began the day she stepped into the stone training halls of The Ascending Hammer, Rottag's relentless martial academy. From childhood, she displayed a startling fluidity of motion and a fierce devotion to perfecting every form — whether bare-handed strikes or the subtle art of turning an opponent’s own force against them. Her instructors say she trained until her hands bled and her breath seared her throat, chasing a perfection that felt almost holy.
Chosen by Rottag as his personal protégé, Yanmei carries not just the weight of her own aspirations, but the silent burden of proving her master’s faith was well-placed. Her style is precise yet flowing, a dance that becomes a storm the moment she decides to end it. Unlike many who walk the martial path, Yanmei harbors little interest in honor or tradition for its own sake. To her, mastery is the only truth — and every duel, every test of skill, is another step up the endless mountain.
Sent to measure the strength of the party under the polite guise of tournaments and friendly contests, she reports back to Rottag with cool, analytical detail. Yet beneath that ice lies something restless: a spark of wonder, perhaps even envy, for those who fight not for legacy or patronage, but simply because their hearts blaze too brightly to do otherwise.
