–Jia Xichun, Canto VII: The Dream Ending | ||
Jia Xichun (賈惜春; 贾惜春; Jiǎ Xīchūn; Chia Hsi-chun) is Hong Lu's younger sister who is participating in the eradication of La Manchaland along with the small faction of people she leads. She is a supporting character introduced in Canto VII: The Dream Ending.
Appearance
Jia Xichun is a young woman of short stature, with long black hair and bright pink eyes. She wears a black cheongsam with gold detailing and long red sleeves, and a slit across the left side. The cheongsam is decorated with a belt of red rope tied with a ribbon. Her hair is worn in an ox horn hairstyle, and tied in four braids that reach down to her knees. Her bangs are combed over her forehead, with two strands, dyed white, framing her face. Xichun also sports bright red nail polish.
Personality
Jia Xichun shares the majority of her sibling's ill temper, frequently speaking down upon others, including her older brother. She is frequent to talk back against any negative sentiment towards her or her skills. Despite her attitude towards the majority of people, Hong Lu mentions that she is far kinder than any of the other siblings, wherein she mentions her own surprise toward Hong Lu having survived a confrontation with Jia Huan.
Story
Jia Xichun is first noticed as she stares down the Sinners, particularly Hong Lu, within the Backstreets of P Corp. She and her men had been previously commissioned to assist in the eradication of the Bloodfiend den known as La Manchaland, where she did not expect to find her older brother participating likewise. She ignores the trio of Meursault, Heathcliff and Sinclair attempting to intimidate her faction as she approaches Hong Lu, using this as an opportunity to catch up with him, as well as condescendingly reminding him that she was hired first. Hong Lu would question her intent on joining such a job, though she would dodge the question. Agreeing to go their separate ways, she leaves with her group to prepare for the briefing on their job.
Assigned to Area 2 of La Manchaland, Jia Xichun would make another appearance in Act 2 of Canto VII: The Dream Ending, having killed off the majority of Bloodbags and Bloodfiends within the area while searching for the respective button. They would gravely injure The Priest due to his status as overseer, who would retreat to his confessional, leaving Xichun to search for the man. They would accomplish the primary goal of pushing the area's button, before encountering the Sinners outside the confession booth, with Xichun hoping to kill The Priest. As The Priest confronts Don Quixote, Xichun would grow tired of his actions and attempt to slay the Bloodfiend, only to be stopped by Sansón saving the man. Suddenly stuck in Sansón's play, she would grow annoyed by the inability of everybody to break the magician's abilities, though it would soon come to an end by Sansón's own hand. Worried about what the state of Area 3 must be and knowing it went wrong, Xichun would join the Sinners in combat against the enemies of The Parade, taking part in the battle against Dulcinea. At the conclusion of this battle, Sansón would similarly save the Second Kindred, before beginning another tale of Don Quixote, where she would witness the reveals involving the Sinner's past.
In the fathoms of ego created by the Golden Bough, Xichun reveals her own mission involves the search for one of the Rivers that flow beneath the City. In particular, she searches for one that could grant immortality of the mind, something the elders of the Jia family have been desperately seeking. She separates from the sinners partway through the Canto VII dungeon for this reason, predicting that they will soon meet again.
