## Childhood

Xiulan doesn't remember her parents, she only remembers following under the footsteps of some "street-rats" also known as homeless boys in Penrith. To Xiulan, they were considered as her “brothers” because they took care of each other. Throughout her life, Xiulan learned most of the ways of the shadows while she helps out her “brothers” in most of the crimes on the street including physical training. Xiulan mostly does a lot of running and living in the shadows so she was used to knowing the ways of the shadows and where to hide. To Xiulan, she was living in a paradise life with her “brothers” until that day.

Another “street family” group that were a rival with Xiulan and her “brothers”. The rivals dared them to do a scam on the high monk or priest that is a follower of Pelor. The scam was to mention that the high monk or priest was a fraud, they can’t do magic and is not a true follower of Pelor. The “brothers” accepted the dare and went to the temples to start a scam. The “brothers” asked Xiulan to stay near the Oghma temple and to watch for guards or other Pelor followers. While Xiulan stand watch the “brothers” went up the hill to start their scam. At first they were doing fine trying to scam the high monk or priest until everything went downhill. The guards somehow bypassed Xiulan without her noticing them and went up to the “brothers” to try to stop them. Without thinking one of the “brothers” starts a fight with them, then the guards fought them back. Things weren’t looking to well for the “brothers” because the guards have better combat experience than the “street rats”. Noticing that the battle wasn’t going to well for them, Xiulan tried to rush up to them to help them but a couple of monks stopped her. Xiulan kicked and screamed towards her “brothers” almost practically crying as she watch her “brothers” being beaten until they laid there motionless. Xiulan stared in horror as she watched her “brothers” defeated and beaten right in front of her. To Xiulan, it is a nightmare that she will never forget.

As for the monks that saved Xiulan from certain death, they were followers of Oghma, however; the monks never told her why they saved her. Xiulan didn’t want to know why or why they hadn’t let her go to her motionless “brothers”. All Xiulan knew that she was alone and is the only family that was still alive. After a few days, Xiulan never talked to anyone or looked at a person. She only accepts food and water that the followers of Oghma gave her. Two weeks passed until the head of the Oghma Temple managed to have a conversation with her. He told Xiulan that he is willing to take her in and teach her how to read and write if she was interested. Knowing that she has nowhere else to go other than the street. Xiulan accepted his offer and wants to learn how to be a monk.

For years Xiulan trained and learned a couple of different languages as she thirsts for knowledge. Xiulan trained in both martial arts and mental state of the mind. She also used the ways of the shadows and learned know more how to use the shadows for martial arts. When it comes to jobs on the street, Xiulan doesn’t mind helping them and catching the culprits and muggers. She will currently remember that day but she will use her anger but stays serene when she fights.

### Collapse and Uprise

Xiulan doesn't remember much of the Collapse or The Uprising, but she can confirm that she was there during The Uprising when the city of Penrith was being rebuilt. As for the Collapse, Xiulan wasn't sure if she there or not.
