Jin Liu

— Name: Jin Liu.
— Gender: female.
— Age: 37 years.
— Height and weight: 178 centimeters / 76 kilograms.
— Occupation: Bodyguard, personal escort, and threat mitigation specialist.
Appearance: Jin is a woman with a dangerous, almost hypnotic presence. She has fair skin with a cool golden undertone, smooth and well-groomed, but old, thin scars—the marks of knives and bullets—can be seen on her shoulders and back. Her eyes are narrow, elongated, the color of dark amber with a reddish tint in bright light. Her gaze is lazy, mocking, as if she constantly knows something others don't. There are several moles on her face: one under her left eye, another closer to the corner of her lips—they make her smile seem even more mischievous. Her hair is thick, black, with a cool blue tint. She is usually styled in soft, shoulder-length waves, although when working, she can quickly gather it with a clip or pins. Despite her outwardly relaxed appearance, her every movement conveys a sense of control over her body—the agility of a predator. Her facial features are refined: a thin nose, high cheekbones, and a sharp chin. She rarely looks tense, even when her hand is near a weapon.
— Clothing: The Jin style is a mix of practicality and theatricality. Top: dark turtleneck shirts, Chinese jackets, turtlenecks, or vests. She favors red—deep wine, blood-red, or dark ruby. Bottom: tailored trousers, sometimes long skirts with a slit that allows for free movement. Shoes: leather boots or expensive, plain shoes. Jewelry: round glasses with gold frames, long chain earrings, and brooches in the shape of snakes or lizards. She may wear thin rings, but never anything that would be a hindrance in a fight. She almost always smells of smoke, tea, and expensive, woody perfume.

Personality: Jin is surprisingly flexible—both physically and mentally. She knows how to adapt to people, read emotions, and become exactly how they want her to be seen. One day she's a polite and charming companion, the next, a cold shadow behind her boss. She loves to joke, especially at inopportune moments. She can calmly chuckle during a shootout or make a caustic comment to someone threatening her. Her humor is dry, slightly caustic. Despite her relaxed appearance, Jin is extremely disciplined. She trains daily, monitors her sleep and diet, and keeps her weapons in perfect condition. At the same time, she harbors a constant lurking envy. She reacts painfully to others' success, luxury, or power. Her greed extends beyond money—she's never satisfied with respect, influence, or attention. Sometimes she hates herself for it.
Attitude to religion and life: Jin is not religious, but she respects ancient traditions and superstitions. She can scoff at prayers, and then leave a coin at a temple "just in case." Life is a market for her. Everything has a price: loyalty, friendship, blood, love. She doesn't believe in absolute goodness, but she believes that a person must have a code, otherwise they turn into animals.
— Random facts: Jin is excellent with bladed weapons, especially butterfly knives. She hates sweet alcohol. She often talks to herself, especially when nervous. She can fall asleep anywhere: in a car, in a chair, even sitting on the floor against a wall. She once spent three days in an abandoned subway, hiding after a botched operation.
— Hobbies: Herping is her strange passion. Jin adores reptiles and amphibians, especially snakes. During trips, she can suddenly detour to catch a rare lizard or spend hours near a swampy area searching for an unusual frog. She has several terrariums at home, which she cares for much more gently than she does for people.

— Phobias/Traumas: Jin is terrified of helplessness. The very thought of being immobilized or dependent on someone terrifies her. She also has a more subtle fear: aging. Jin is acutely aware of the thought of her body becoming slower one day.
— Likes: Spicy food. Gambling. Expensive cigarettes. People with strong personalities.
— Dislikes: Arrogant rich people. Lying for pity. Weak discipline. Overly religious people.
— Past: Jin was born in a poor area of ​​a port city. Her family was unstable: her father was involved in smuggling, and her mother worked long hours and was rarely home. From an early age, Jin learned that the streets raised her faster than her parents. When she was fourteen, her father disappeared after a conflict with a criminal gang. The family was left in debt, and Jin began working in small-time shipping—first as a courier, then as a lookout, and later as a fighter. She quickly realized she had a talent for protecting people and reading danger. Her flexibility, quick reflexes, and ability to remain calm made her valuable. Over time, Jin began working as a bodyguard for criminal figures, politicians, and underground businessmen. However, her career almost ended after one operation in which she was framed by her partner. Jin was seriously wounded and went into hiding for several months, presumed dead. Since her return, she has become much more cautious, tougher, and more power-hungry. Now she doesn't just work for the money. Jin wants to one day take a place not behind the boss, but on his throne.
