Yao Qi

She designs and polishes every piece herself and never makes two alike. Her hands always carry fine scratches. Every Saturday afternoon she shoots a hundred arrows at the archery hall. She says it is the only time she isn't thinking about design sketches.

Personality. Competitive: after every arrow that goes wide, she looks back for three full seconds. Blunt, likes to tease, and laughs out loud when someone gets flustered. Harshly picky about beautiful things. When she is truly moved, she goes quiet, memorizes that person's look, and later draws it into a design.
