WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME WHEN I'M NO LONGER YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL?
I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU WILL.
On the edge of District Seven lies a lovely little home. Oddly shaped, let alone decorated, the lovely abode plays host to a tiny stage dedicated to performing arts out back. The owners of the home, Helen and Demetri Wu, are known to kindly allow eager audiences to enter through their gates and watch their lovely and poised daughters perform.
Little does the audience know, however, these girls are meant for so much more than petty performances.
Whilst Helen devotes her time to making sure each of her daughters are proper and elegant and graceful, Demetri takes it in his own hands to teach his daughters to be fighters. It's not that they're some sort of lower district version of Careers, oh no. Warriors of the Past would be a far better name for them. Beneath their appropriately sized house is a vast and expansive place full of bamboo sticks and bladed fans and home-made swords that shine with a historical glint.
One would we be quick to envy these girls, due to the fact that they seemingly have all that they could ever want and more. However, the critical torture these girls - let alone the family's various servants - have to withstand is brutal.
In simpler words, those bamboo sticks can be used for so much more than just mere training.
Perfection is the key to life. Obtain that, and all shall follow.Just remember, nothing's perfect.
CHRYS WU {18} | SUGGESTED FC: Ziyi Zhang | PLAYED BY THE (OPEN)The eldest of the sisters, Chrysanthemum, "Chrys", is wise and kind. Moderately skilled in both the ways of a Geisha and Samurai, Chrys is a fine example of balance and serenity. Still, though she is near completely loyal to her parents, Chrys has a secret. A Geisha should never find love with a patron of her fine arts, yet Chrys has recently entangled herself in an affair with a young man who makes her heart beat with joy. Chrys's loyalty has been pledged to another man, however, the arrangement of marriages a very common ordeal in the Wu family. Will Chrys be able to break free of the heavy chains around her, or will her true love leave her alone in a land full of imperfect perfection?
HELENA WU {17} | Zhang Xinyuan | PLAYED BY THE ELOQUENT ELEGANTHelena, is the exact opposite of her sister Cassandra. Where Cassandra is wild and seemingly untameable, Helena is so gentle and quiet that her parents, and most people that know her have only ever treated her like an object, a china doll to be sold off to the highest bidder. She has never once complained about this fact, making most believe her to be passive. She has always been protected as a beauty, and was never sent off to be trained like her sisters were. She does not know how to protect herself, as her only learnings are in the way of a Japanese Geisha. She excels in whatever is given to her to learn, and is a genius when it comes to the ways of a Geisha. Her secret pleasure is dance.
CASSANDRA WU {17} | Zhang Xinyuan | PLAYED BY THE TALENTED TRISTENIf Helena is an object of pristine perfection, Cassandra is a storm of wild winds and deadly thunder. Whilst her sister is graceful and caged like a bird, Cassandra is strong and free. She is not above skipping training in the ways of a Japanese Geisha, and she has plenty enough scars to prove it. Though her sister can dance like the northern winds, Cassandra has nearly perfected the ways of the Samurai. With a blade in her hands, and her mind set on something she craves, she is nearly impossible to defeat. No matter how many times you strike her or push her down, she'll never break.
ANDROMEDA WU {16} | SUGGESTED FC: Liu Wen | PLAYED BY THE PERPETUALLY-BADASS PYTHONWhile even Cassandra dances upon occasion, Andromeda devotes her time solely to training in the ways of a samurai. Perhaps the only competition to Cassandra, Andromeda is a strong and fierce warrior who has quickly obtained her father's highest affection. Though Cassandra has a rather gentle appearance, Andromeda looks the part of her warrior ways. She does not care much for her mother, let alone many of her sisters, but she feels very strongly towards making her father proud. Not above bullying, this is one girl that the various servants (even her very own sisters) should watch out for.
WENDY WU {15} | SUGGESTED FC: Fei Fei Sun | PLAYED BY THEOut of all the daughters, Wendy is the most childlike. Weak on a physical level, Wendy manages to keep her mother content with her fair looks and dancing abilities. Though not near as talented as her elder sister, Helena, she is close behind her. Wendy takes the time to train with her father, but it seems that the only weapon that she can make any use of is the Japanese war fan. She is quick on her feet and sharp with her tongue. She is uncannily gullible and many of the sisters are surprised that she has not been beaten raw.
SERVANTS AND BODYGUARDS:
BOY WU {16} | SUGGESTED FC: Lee Chi Hoon | PLAYED BY THE (OPEN)Boy Wu has been with the Wu family ever since he can remember. Helen Wu says that he was unceremoniously dumped at their gate one night, so they charitably took him in. Boy does not doubt this, and lives everyday gratefully, happy to do whatever he can to contribute. Like the twins, Boy has training in martial arts, and with a sword. Unlike the brothers, he is not a bodyguard, but a servant. He does whatever needs doing, rising before the household and only sleeping when they have all gone to bed. He may speak only when spoken to, and like many boys of his age, he is enamored by his adopted sisters, finding each breathtakingly beautiful. Like any good servant, he can move through the house without making a sound, and is nothing but docile and sweet. He knows each girl's habits and favorite foods and goes out of his way to attend them.
AMPHION XIU {17} | SUGGESTED FC: Jung Daeryong | PLAYED BY THE (OPEN)Amphion Xiu was brought to the Wu family along with his twin brother Zethus at a young age. Raised to be mighty warriors, they were never shown any love. Amphion is the stronger of the two, yet the kinder. Where both act cruel and unjust in their safeguarding of the girls, Amphion's neutral expression is nothing but a facade. Where his fingers only know the calluses brought by a sword, they yearn to know the fragility of a brush. In his head, landscapes paint themselves on the walls of his skull. He holds an errant calmness in his core, and it shows in the depths of his eyes. Still, he knows nothing but cruelty, and that is what he usually expels, not without a small pang of guilt.
ZETHUS XIU {17} | SUGGESTED FC: Jung Soryong | PLAYED BY THE (OPEN)Zethus Xiu is a raging storm, and does not have a kind bone in his body. He is one of those rare kinds of people, kindness has never even occurred to him. He can be even cruel to his brother Amphion, if need be. He always has to be number one, and is frustrated that his brother has more strength than he. He trains for long hours, searching for approval, and strives to show his own nastiness. He has brought the girls forward for small discrepancies many a time. In his core, there is nothing but evil and meanness, most likely bought on by the brother's past. It is assumed that there can be nothing but evil in this boy's cold skin, but there might be just a simple of sliver of kindness burrowed deep?
XIN WU {15} | SUGGESTED FC: Sui He | PLAYED BY THE (OPEN)Born shortly after Wendy, Xin was expected to be as beautiful and graceful as her preceding sister. However, though she was born fair and delicate like all the rest, her left leg was weak and shriveled up. Her mother, disdaining the crippled mistake, gave her a short and forgettable name before raising her to be a servant. Xin cannot dance, nor can she fight, but her heart is perhaps the biggest of the sisters. Xin does not know if her sisters realize that she is not just some random slave, but she still dotes on each one. She combs their hair and lets them cry on her shoulder, even if she is the one who wishes to cry the most.
