## Personality

Lady Uozumi is a bold and forward woman. Always speaking her mind, often without caring what others might think, or so it seems. Her tongue can sometimes get her into trouble, especially when it comes to her direct overlord. Fortunately, shes also pretty charismatic, mostly skating by without much happening. She can be quick tempered, annoyed easily. She often responds with aggressive action or threatening words whenever she deems it necessary. Generally this occurs from being accused of something, though, to be fair this may be warranted at times.

Incredibly defensive of the things she puts work into; she will often act out if her accomplishments are belittled or criticized in a way she deems excessive or overly harsh. Utmost in this category is her martial arts style. Continually developing it, she will always take the opportunity to show it off or utilize it in some manner. She also finds herself sensitive to negative connotations about her upbringing. While she is a farm girl, and proud of it, she's very careful of what she allows other people to say about it. Beyond that, her neutral state is cheery, kind, and empathetic. She's trying hard to prove that she is more than what lurks beneath.

Due to the nature of her corruption, beneath the mask she wears she has a violent, vengeful, sadistic soul. Often, when not in polite company, violence is the first course of action for her. Though, this is often not entirely her choice. Still, she takes a wicked, perverse pleasure in killing. She will often take time in her martial arts studies to meditate on ways to inflict maximum trauma and pain on her victims. A murderer, a crazed sociopath lies within her, mingling and weaving itself with her affliction.

## Description

Uozumi stands at 7', relatively normal for her race. (probably) She, however, very much defies pandaren stereotype in regards to body shape. Having a finely tuned mesomorphic frame, she is leagues from the assumption of a chubby pandaren. Arms, legs, torso, they all have refined and clear definition, noticeable sometimes through her short fur. It is evident just looking that she works hard to maintain it. She also likes letting people know that she works hard on it; she is clearly proud of that strength.

Her fur coat is notably soft; she clearly puts a lot of care into it. Maybe it’s the blood of her foes she covers herself with in combat, maybe it’s Maybelline. Her hair is equally well manicured, almost always being tied up into twin tails, with plenty of extra hair to frame her face. She wears a fangy, welcoming smile—which occasionally veers into cocky—most of the time.

She is most often seen in one of her customized sets of armor. Those suits are generally a combination of leather and metal, the first for protection, and the second generally for more offensive oomph. They all have their more specialized uses, and she frequently updates them. She can also occasionally be seen in attire like light tees and tank tops, along with some sort of light shorts or pants, but this is much less common.

But easily the most stand out thing about Uozumi is her eyes. Immediately recognizable, they offer a portal to what lies inside. Small inky splotches move slowly in all sorts of ways, amorphous in form; they drift and change size. Under certain circumstances, these blotches will coalesce into a ring around the pupil that divides the iris in half. It is the most obvious mark of the traumatic corruption she continues to endure.

## Biography

If life could be divided into seasons, the first 30 or so years of Uozumi’s would be spring. Bright and full of hope and joy. She spent her time helping her family ranch, occasionally taking time to herself to pilgrimage and study martial arts at one of the many monasteries. Any teacher would tell you she was a mostly stellar student. Mostly. Notably, she never took to the use of chi. Not incapable, she can perform very small chi related feats, but she will never be anything close to a mistweaver. Rather she was always excellent with form. Her precision for pressure points, the effective use of momentum, the tactical contraction of muscles. It was clear from a very young age that Uozumi was an incredible talent in the martial arts.

Not everything was well, however. Often it was noted that she would go too far in her spars. Going completely full force, she never slowed down, severely injuring several people even through pads. Warned multiple times, it was as though she couldn’t help it. This unfortunately culminated in the death of one of her opponents, expulsion from that particular school, and a pretty bad reputation.

Overall though, things were pretty alright in those years. It was only when the Sha attacked that everything changed. Given almost her entire life was focused on something inherently violent, she was easy prey for the associated Sha. It consumed her, and possessed her mind and body. Confined to a small corner of her own mind, Uozumi could do nothing more than watch as her body went on a rampage. Using the skills she learned, the possessor tore a path of violence and murder throughout pandaria. No one was safe, not even the animals she found moving from place to place. Entiere villages were massacred, leaving only corpses and a ghost town.

The madness was only stopped when she encountered a full alliance unit. Quickly subdued she was taken back to an encampment, where much like Taran Zhu, after some time she was able to recover. This however left the mark she is now famous for. As soon as she was able to travel, she was immediately banished from Pandaria. This was a mercy, as her captors knew she was not in control when she did what she did. And so she went, arriving in Stormwind.

From there she did mercenary work and small-time crime for a while, mostly trading information. Eventually she decided to straighten up some and join a paramilitary. After venturing through a few, she found that she couldn’t find particular longer term happiness at any one of them. Fortunately, during that time she had found Tirian and Hose Valtieri. She swore to them both, eventually becoming the Baroness she is today. Who knows what the future holds?
