Les doigts de Zhang tapotaient impatiemment contre la table en bois alors qu'elle se penchait contre son autre bras, regardant les patrons de la guilde se frotter à leurs affaires. Apparemment, c'était la meilleure occasion pour des gens de talents particuliers de gagner de l'argent, mais avec Zhang étant une nouvelle arrivée, elle n'était pas si sûre que ça pour elle. Les contrats énumérés à partir de ce matin étaient basiques, triviaux. Il y avait assez de salaire dans certains d'entre eux, mais si Zhang était honnête avec elle-même, l'argent n'était jamais vraiment son ambition.
Alors quoi?
C'était une question que Zhang ne pouvait pas vraiment répondre en ce moment. Parfois, elle ressentait une véritable faim de pouvoir, comme dans la capacité d'instruire et de commander une fois de plus. Peut-être était-elle l'enfant de son père après tout? Ah, qui était-ce qu'elle plaisantait, elle devait retourner à l'armée. Revenez aux ordres d'aboiement aux jeunes, encore une fois. C'était dommage qu'ils ne la reprennent pas, même si elle a essayé. Elle était juste considérée comme trop vieille. Peut-être que si elle était un homme, elle aurait pu aller plus longtemps mais son bureau commandant a décrit clairement la situation de Zhang, même si elle ne voulait pas écouter. Zhang s'approcha rapidement de la fin de sa fécondité et, en tant que fille d'un aîné, elle avait la responsabilité de porter un enfant pour sa dynastie. Malheureusement, Zhang ne voulait pas s'installer maintenant et aspirait à voir le monde. Wanderlusted, elle ne reviendra peut-être jamais...
Mais ce n'était pas le moment d'y penser. Même si elle n'était pas motivée par cela, elle avait besoin d'argent car son indemnité de départ (ainsi qu'une bonne somme de salaire renvoyée à la maison tout au long de ses années) l'attendait à la maison. Cependant, elle ne voulait pas rentrer chez elle, alors elle a dû prendre ces petits boulots pour la maintenir. Heureusement, elle a eu le choix, mais elle allait l'attendre pour le droit...
La tête de Zhang s'est perchée lorsqu'elle a entendu la conversation entre Athéna et une autre au sujet de l'affectation du loup (elle était assise à proximité). C'était l'une des missions qu'elle envisageait et l'avait mentionnée à la réception de la Guilde plus tôt. C'était probablement le moment de chanter, d'autant plus que le second homme sortait et faisait du bénévolat.
"Aï yah... Athena, je vais prendre une troisième place dans la mission de Merchant Franklin." Zhang hurlait alors qu'elle se levait à ses pieds et marchait la courte distance jusqu'aux deux hommes rassemblés. -- Nous sommes ensemble, oui? Zhang a demandé aux deux d'une sorte de rond-point de demander s'ils étaient d'accord avec le groupe.
Zhang "Jane" LiangYing

Appearance: The people of a small northern province of Glinnery typically all follow a few presets concerning their appearance. They'll usually have a beige skin color, slender builds. Their hairs are found in a range of browns with the occasional array of blacks. Typically males do not grow hair on their body or even facial hair, but some can. Their most prominent feature are usually their epicanthic folds in their eyelids giving them an angular, slightly slitted eyes. Zhang has fair skin color that is just a few tones above a white. She is around average sized for a woman of her age and her hair, a deeper midnight black, is kept shorter than most with the length hovering just past shoulder length.
Age: 34
Height: 5'6"
Build: Slender
Weapon of choice: Spear
Amount of Yule currently in possession: ~50 Yule (Total wealth is slightly more with around 500 Yule owed to her in military severance package)
Current items in possession: Spear, Pila, and Sword
Basic Skills: Zhang's primary and relevant skills for guild service come from her time serving as Sergeant. Zhang has experience or has at least been trained properly in the instruction and command of smaller units of foot soldiers for battle. Included, but not properly tested, is her limited knowledge of battle and defense stratagems for command. However her greatest application of her talents as a Sergeant is one of proper training that can make any able-bodied person serviceable. Zhang's knowledge is her greatest asset for Guild service as she can offer a struggling town more than just a temporary solution to a reoccurring raid.
Of course she isn't some arm-chair leader and as a Sergeant, she was expected to serve on the frontlines. She has received excellent training in all different types of weaponry, but none more so than the basic spear, pila, and since she was a Sergeant, sword as well. There is nothing flashy about Zhang's preferred fighting style. No unique flourish or tricks. It'll be common and familiar to opponents who are experienced, but Zhang won't make many mistakes.
Personality: Zhang is much like her father although she has more of a quiet ambition as she isn't quite as gregarious and political as her father. Still, Zhang enjoys the feeling of leadership and dependence of others. Her time in the military has taught her to be stern and tough in public, although she is guilty of being a bit more tender and feminine in private.
Occupation before joining the guild: Sergeant
Basic origin story: Zhang hails from a larger rural village in the farther Northern parts of Glinnery. Her father was sort of a mayor-elect but without any election, instead people of the village tended to flock to him with their problems and he would coordinate the town to solve those problems. Since he sort of ran the town, he was considerably powerful with his influence, so much so, that he had convinced the Draykon military to accept his oldest child, Zhang, instead of his sickly second-born son in an attempt to spare his heir and marshal political favor with the rest of Draykon.
Since Zhang's father was relatively well-liked in the local area, the nearby garrison commander decided to promote and train Zhang initially as an officer. However, due to some distaste in the notion of a woman commander with some of the other officers, Zhang was demoted to a Sergeant. A role, as it turns out, that best suited Zhang's determination to prove herself as roughing it with the soldiers she commanded often earned her respect with the other foot soldiers.
Zhang never saw too much combat as the Northern portions of Glinnery were relatively calm, but there were a few times she saw battle. After a few years, Zhang's time as kind of a token for political favors was used up and she was free to leave, though it was more like she was kicked out of the army, especially since she still has yet to receive her severance pay.
After her brief stint, she didn't feel like returning to her father or family and instead sought employment with the Order of the White Lily, to appease her urge to travel and be her own person.
