## Description

Liebao are a tannish cream color with black spots covering their body and face, their frame and musculature allow them to run at an increased speed compared to even their fellow clanmates though they find that they are far faster when they run on all fours like their non kami-touched counterparts. They stand at an average of 6 feet and weigh roughly 160 lbs with dark brown eyes. There are rare occurances of all black or white Liebao and even the odd reverse patterned one (black or white fur dotted with tannish cream spots).

## Society

As mentioned before, Liebao tend towards more stealth and subterfuge type roles in Tsume clan society as like Bao they are not as magically attuned as say a Laohu or Mao and instead have an increased innate expertise in keeping hidden and invesigation. Many act as investigators among the clans warriors with others being accomplished scholars who travel through the various clans of the Alliance as well as beyond in order to discover information on a wide array of topics.

### Religion

Most Liebao worship a visage of Goy-an called Yuyi or the Weaver, a sly and stealthy lesser god focused on the trickery and arcana domains. They illustrate their dedication to the Weaver by gifting her precious jewels and beautiful art, some even going as far as to craft these things themselves, as well as a tribute of 5-100 gold pieces. Less fortunate worshippers of Yuyi who cannot afford to give away such lavish gifts or even come into contact with them at all, offer baked goods particularly cherry based foods which Yuyi has a fondness for.
