Character Design [Adela Heczkova 1700076]

## **Zhang Li**

Zhang Li is a high ranked official in Beijing. She believes
in the cause of **The Knights of the Earth**
and will protect it at all cost. She has never manifested mystical powers but
is skilled with a gun, she is considered one of the most precise and accurate shooters
in the entire Beijing.

**Personality**

She may look soft and kind but everyone who has crossed her
path knows that she’s far from kind and soft, she has no respect for the **Mystics** and she doesn’t hesitate to go
as far as to torture captured mystic members for information about the group.

She values family above all and having lost her only
remaining family member, Li Wei, took a tool on her, she distances herself from
people and refuses to get close to people in fear of them leaving her.

In casual conversations, she uses sarcasm and often acts
like she’s the other person, which is not true for the Beijing leader, who is
the only authority she respects, he even frightens her a little but she tries
not to show it because weakness is not welcome amongst The Knights.

**Personal history and motivations**

After the Re-enchantment took place, her older brother, Li
Wei, manifested his powers very soon, he did not take Disenchanters and eventually
had to go and help defend the city against the monster attacks. The government
had her believe that he passed because he couldn’t control his powers, which
resulted in him not being able to defend himself. Zhang Li now believes all
gifted who refuse to take Disenchanters are fools and are putting themselves at
a great risk.

## **Li Wei**

**Personality**

Li Wei has a fighting spirit and a heart of gold. He would
do anything to protect those he loves. When he has a goal in mind, he goes
straight for it, often having no concern for anything else and refusing to take
advice from others.

He is incredibly powerful, and he is one of the main reasons
The Mystics have yet to been eradicated by monsters lurking about. He acts as a
father figure for children and teens amongst the group and he would go to great
lengths to make sure they’re safe and taken care of.

He would like to leave Beijing behind one day and move to a
different city, where he could live in peace without having to use
disenchanters, but he refuses to leave without his sister.

**Personal history and motivations**

Li Wei is Zhang Li’s older brother and contrary to what the
government made her believe, he is still alive. After the Re-enchantment, the
government had tried to force people into taking Disenchantments and the gifted,
who refused were forced to go on a suicide mission outside the city walls. Li
Wei survived this mission with a handful of others, but they were all refused
entry back to Beijing. He begged the guards to let him contact his little
sister with no avail. Distressed, he and the other survivors created a shelter
for the banished citizens of Beijing, which later became known as The Mystics.

Ever since their parents died, when Li Wei was just 14, he
took it upon himself to provide for both him and Zhang Li. Being very young at
that time, Zhang Li didn’t fully grasp the situation and would often break down
in tears, looking for mommy and daddy and asking why they had to leave. Li Wei
promised Zhang Li that he would never leave her. He knows he had to break his
promise and it’s one of his top priorities to get in contact with her again.
