Lin Ling

Lin Ling is one of the main characters in Memories of the Fall. She is a member of one of the Lin Clan's fragmented branch that landed in West Flower Picking Town. She is an unfavoured daughter within her clan, initially given a relatively mediocre manual meant for daughters who would be married off for the clan's benefit. Before his passing, her grandfather made arrangements with Old Ling to join the Hunter Bureau at age eleven. After a handful of years under the mentorship of Old Ling and Kun Juni, she is now an eight-star ranked Herb Hunter. 
==General==
===History===
The Lin clan came close to complete destruction during the last big upheaval in the province 30 years ago. Ever since that time, they tried, quite desperately, to claw some of that lost influence back. Born into that kind of environment with a spirit root unsuited to the clan's cultivation scripture, Lin Ling was never favoured by her family. 
===Personality===
Lin Ling is alternately angry at the world in general or fast-talking and flippant, first, as a result of her family situation, and later, in a different way, as a result of her experiences and growth.
===Appearance===
Bright azure blue eyes. Sandy blonde hair that is slightly curly, kept long and usually held in a bun and tail. Athletic build for her age, some people claim she is a bit thin, but she doesn't acknowledge that at all. Naturally pale, she has something of an outdoors complexion but is not as tanned as Juni, Arai or Sana.

==== Arrays/Arts from Memories ====
* {One With What Is}: 'Isolate-State-Oneness' , Stealth technique that hides from soul sense
* {Call of the Wild}: qi of the land rises through her, connects to the alignments of the world directly
* 'Fire-Surge': drew with yang blood, blood boils and a sheet of white yang energy explodes out

==== Rampage as One ====
{Rampage as One}: Technique that calls to the rage in her blood. Accesses power from ancestral lineage. Technique can also be used to draw out Lin Ling's own range. Has some synergy with Mantra.
* First stage: shrouds body in qi, a form of qi armor or qi cloak that has attributes of ancestral lineage strength. Also appears as hexagons on skin
* Second stage: qi armor/ qi cloak merges with blood to form a facsimile of the beast, drawing out a portion of its power and allowing her to access abilities well beyond her means, and for the blood's memories to touch the world through her. Lin Ling can also take the form of a drakania in this stage.
* Third stage: Dragon transformation becomes complete. Her body transforms into an idealized form of the creatures. Allows for the greatest synergy, but also holds the most danger
