Welcome to Halloweentown! You are cleared to enter the Lost Clans Sanctuary.
Unfortunately for Ying, there were several clothing makers in Halloweentown. They were diverse, some belonging to the Four Clans and others to Halloween. It was very likely that as soon as Ying announced her profession, another dressmaker would waltz up to her and Z-snap in her face before challenging her to a dressmaking throw down. It's on.

LOST CLAN CREATION FORM The Horseman Name: Ying Zheng Nicknames: --- Gender: female Age: N/A, but mindset/acts 15 (STILL THE OLDER SIBLING THOUGH HAHAHA)
Original Clan: Conquest
Job Role: Artisan (clothing maker)
Personality: Stern and a bit abrupt, but a real child at heart. She loves her twin brother Jing, and would love to be as carefree as him, but takes responsibility in sternness as the older sibling. Ying talks rather formally, and has excellent manners (to the best of her abilities). Etiquette and tradition are held in very high esteem to her, especially now that she is all that's left of the traditions.
It doesn't take much to ruffle her feathers, especially since she'll be coming to Amityville where (in general) things are a bit crazier than the conquest islands. She's easily provoked by her brother and others, and sometimes seems to take offense to simple things. Her favorite pastime is arguing with her brother, though she'd never tell you that.
However, Ying does have a more playful side. You'd see it most when she's working with clothing, but it comes out in other situations too. Learning new facts or reciting old ones to others brings her endless joy- honestly she'd be a scholar if she was so infatuated with the art of cloth. She wants to be seen as a woman of great statute, something her family has always held in great esteem.
She gets very excited about clothing, fashion, fabrics of any kind, almost to the point of fanaticism. She loves to talk about it, show you examples, make you things, shove her designs in your face. Fashion is just the bees knees. Not only fashion though. She has a great admiration for any sort of trade skill, especially those in the art area. She'll clap and fawn over your amazing talents. The typical kouhai to everyone's senpai.
With the death of the four clans, she's been driven even further into solemnity and seriousness. She's burdened by both the loss of her clan and the pressures of creating a new one. However, she's eternally grateful for the experiences her islands gave her, and is ready to move forward with the new one. The effects of the genocide have made her rather sullen and solemn though.
Overall, she's a bit conflicted. She wants to be a mature head of her family, a real graceful woman, but the truth of the matter is that she's only about 15 mentally- a child really. She hasn't quite yet figured out how to balance the two yet.

Mount Form: White horse with a navy blue and seafoam saddle, the tiny flower mark included. Tiny armament decorations in gold, teal and seafoam. Horse is pure white while the mane is more silvery, which fades into a darker black.
Weapon Form:Click. A very small bow, black in color with a dark blue and seafoam handle. Small family symbol carved into the top. It is meant for quick, agile shots, not necessarily accurate ones. Her FEAR attacks boosts accuracy, to keep her innate inaccuracy in check.
FEAR: - CAN ATTACK MORE THAN ONE OPPONENT -
Eye of the Needle: Ying amplifies the FEAR in her eyes giving her better accuracy with her bow- she can pinpoint tiny chinks in her opponent's armor, or simply hit targets that would be farther away, easier. xxxxx- y3 The Eye mechanic
Tier Three: Dice: 2d4 First Dice: represents your Accuracy. xxxxx 1: Miss xxxxx 2-4: Success! Second Dice: represents how many turns the effect lasts. xxxxx 1: One Turn xxxxx 2: Two Turns xxxxx 3-4: Three Turns Effect: Target subtracts -3 instead of -6 to determine damage. If used and the ally uses a Fear, add +3 to the ACCURACY result/dice. If the Fear does not have an accuracy, add it to the total. Be sure to note this in your post and double-check any attacks made against you!
Example: Sue is a Y3 creature. She activates T2 Eye on herself and rolls 4, 3. For the next two turns, she subtracts -4 instead of -6. Opponent attacks! Sue attacks. She uses 2d8-4 to find her damage. Opponent attacks! Sue activates a T3 Barrier on herself, rolling a 4. As T2 Eye adds +2 to a Fear and the Barrier doesn't have an accuracy, this would add onto the Barrier's duration. However, as indicated in Note #3 of the Barrier, the maximum number of turns the Barrier can last is 4. Therefore, for the next four turns Sue has a shield of 15/15 HP. In addition, Sue's Eye effect ends.
Note #1: The Eye effects a Fear's accuracy. If the Fear doesn't have an accuracy, it will effect the duration. Note #2: The Eye cannot affect Fears used after the fact. For example, if someone has a Barrier up you cannot use the Eye on them to extend the duration. The only way to extend a duration is to first cast the Eye on them, then the target activates their Barrier. Note #3: Going off of Note #2, if someone has the Eye cast on them then someone else casts the Barrier on them, the effect of the Barrier is NOT extended.
Protection of Friendship: Ying creates a barrier of light, which pulses with a little flower design. She will mostly defend friends with this. xxxxx- y3 The Barrier
Tier Two: Dice: 1d4 This Dice: indicates how many turns the Barrier will last. xxxxx1: 1 Turn xxxxx2-3: 2 Turns xxxxx4: 3 Turns Amount: 10/10 Important: Please place this in your posts ABOVE your HP. Remember to always subtract Barrier damage before subtracting from your HP!
[color=green][b]T2 Barrier in effect!:[/b] 10/10[/color]
Storm of Arrows: Ying fires a barrage of light seafoam arrows that gently impale the opponent. She doesn't like to use this FEAR, but she will if provoked! xxxxx- y3 Swift Strikes
Tier One: Dice: 7d4 First Dice: xxxxx 1: Miss xxxxx 2 - 3: HIT however the resulting damage is divided by 2. Only 50% of the damage is dealt. xxxxx 4: HIT however the resulting damage is multiplied by .8. Only 80% of the damage is dealt. Damage: Ignore the first dice, total up the remaining dice. Divide or multiply the total by the modifier depending.

Amityville: Ying is beginning to see them as equals, but cannot shake her superiority complex.
Humans: They are resources, but they don't deserve death. Ying thinks that repetitive human culling is the cause of their problems, and it needs to stop.
Hunters: Ying does not like hunters and does not believe in their cause, but she thinks that Horsemen need to stop going after them. She believes right now the clans should focus on rebuilding themselves, because even she acknowledges if they went up against the hunters, they would lose.
CLANS:
Conquest: We da best. Proud of her heritage, and wishes to preserve any and all traditions from the clan. While she's easily amazed by other clan's traditions, she still holds to the truth that Conquest does things right. She's a bit stubborn to adapt to anyone else's beliefs yet.
War: Amusing, at best. They have a sort of ruggedness that appeals to her, but something she wouldn't actually want to experience. Their feathers make fabulous headpieces.
Death: More of an ally than anything else. Business opportunities to her, especially in the way of jewelcrafting. She respects the priestess system and finds it interesting, but doesn't appreciate the mystery and vagueness behind it. She is in awe of the discipline and restraint the clan seems to have.
Famine: Doesn't particularly like the detailed pragmatism of the alchemy, but can appreciate the results. She finds their style of living to be incredibly uncomfortable- the nomadic, desert conditions of the Famine Island always turned her off early on. Also wants to feed every single one of them she sees. YOU NEED TO EAT 8C

Ying Zheng is a stray horseman. She chose not to follow Medea, and thus she doesn't have the safety nor benefits of living with the clans. She is alone in a sad, sagging apartment in Halloweentown.
She is still an artisan, though she is going a little crazy with her loneliness. She not only has to face the prejudice of horsemen who no longer consider her one of their own, but also the prejudice of the halloween citizens who believe her to be a monster. Ying has taken to disguising herself as a demon, sometimes not even correcting people who mistake her for a halloween creature.
To content herself, she mostly keeps to her apartment, creating what meager works of art she can.
Views:
Clans: She believes that the horsemen are, at their core, good. How could she not when they are her people? However, she believes the influence of Medea has corrupted them and led them astray. She does not like the priestess, and she cannot live in a land with Medea.
Medea Vs. Charon: She doesn't think either had the right path, honestly, but she thought Charon was more correct than Medea. Mostly Ying wanted safety and compromise for all beings (not just horsemen), and Medea was DEFINITELY not the person to provide that. While Medea's ways are prosperous now, Ying forsees the future being not so bright ... Currently she is trying to figure out a way to reach Charon, Death, or any whisper of something she can cling on to.
Halloween: Ying sees their kindness, but also their darkness. She isn't really sure what to do with Halloween as of yet. She wants to like them, and is willing to give them a chance, but years and years of conditioning still have yet to wear themselves off. She was, after all, a conquest horseman.
Ying was raised in Conquest on the islands. She has a twin brother named Jing who is her bread and butter- the absolute love of her life. They were raised as a team of artisans. They were masters of sewing, and Ying was an accomplished seamstress. She was responsible for creating the shapes/folds/patterns of the garments while her brother was the master of detail work like embroidery, buttons, trims, etc. They lived on the island with their parents (whom were well loved). The Zheng family had been tailors for the nobles for years, and they intended to keep it that way.
However, when the genocide occurred, everything went to hell. She is very grateful to have been out at a lair with her brother at the time of the bomb, but is still very deeply traumatized from the event. She is fortunate to have her brother.
As a member of the Lost Clans, Ying attempted to adjust to her new life. She followed the rules set forth by the boogies (that is, no killing & immersion), as her obedience set forth for her. For a time she reveled in human-killing as she always had with her fellow horsemen, but over time it grew listless to her. Death essentially enchanted her (or maybe persuaded her is the better term) that killing was wrong and so was Medea.
She now fiercely believes in pacifism, to the point where she has sacrificed everything to forgo a life with Medea. She wanders Halloween now as a stray.
But not all those who wander are lost ...
