Name: Jia Xin Kao
Age: 26
Origin: Singapore
Powers: Channeler (learner)
Reborn God: Inari Ōkami - Shinto
Biography:
The jewel of the Kao crown, Jia Xin lives like a princess in the Garden City. Every whim, need, and desire is catered for – without her ever having to ask. From grand palatial residences to jetsetting tours of East Asia, she’s accustomed to living like literal royalty, both in astronomical wealth and widespread reverence wherever she goes. As a member of the Kao family she has received an impeccable education, but of course she has never had to work a day in her life – at least not in the ordinary sense. It's truly debatable whether she has any concept of what an ordinary life would be like.
Jia Xin was eight years old when her big brother dropped the kit in her lap.
He never told her where he got it from, and she never asked, but her eyes lit like twin moons for the fuzzy little gift. As a child Jia Xin liked to pretend the family wealth came from a four-hundred year old legacy of high-seas piracy rather than the shipping lanes she knew had built them: that theirs was a history bedazzled with sundered treasure, fraught with adventure, and salt-crusted with blood.
Looking at Zixin’s roguish grin, even at thirteen, she could almost believe it was all true.
The fox was completely wild. In horror their mother tried to coax her to give it up, offering a beautiful blue persian kitten with crystal eyes, and then a tawny ball of wrinkles and fluff with massive puppy paws – whatever she wanted – but Jia Xin was undeterred. She nursed the cub herself, demanded it to be allowed to sleep in her room, and delighted in the radar swivel of its huge ears to the sound of her voice. She named him Xiǎo Bāo (little bun), and he was the first and fiercest love of her life.
Even as a baby he was mischievous – chaotic and cunning in equal measure. Jia Xin was relentless and methodical in her attempts to tame him. When he grew bigger she begged her bàba to have an elaborate enclosure built to accommodate him, punching Zixin hard in the arm when he suggested he would make a fine fur coat instead. It only made him laugh uproariously. Jia Xin won the argument of course. The little fox would come to her every day, jaws wide in smile, screaming his little greeting. She was the only one who ever attempted to handle him who didn’t get bitten. He took food from her palms and curled up in her lap when she patted it; would fall asleep as she fondled his ears.
As she grew older, Jia Xin blossomed in her mother’s footsteps. Singapore belonged to the Kao family in all but name, and they were considered practically as royalty for in their hands the island had both flourished and prospered. Stepping into that celebrity sphere seemed as natural as breathing, and she tried to pull Zixin in from time to time, but she knew his interests lay elsewhere. She saw the way their Yeye looked at him. And an empire needed an heir.
At 26 Jia Xin has a carefully curated online presence from which she enjoys cult celebrity status, especially within Singapore and Malaysia. Her zealous online following currently tops over 7m, mostly centred within Dominances III and IV. This number does not include the channel dedicated just to her foxes (which has its own management team). She wields her influence as a weapon with utmost finesse, both to promote the prestige of her family, and when needed to decimate their enemies.
Moscow does not yet recognise the formidable Kao clan. But it will.
Description:
Jia Xin has a renowned love of animals, particularly exotics, and is known for generous donations to such charities and sanctuaries. She is also the foremost patron of Singapore Zoo. Privately she owns various animals, including various rare reptiles, but her favourite acquisitions are her wild white foxes. She also has two tame silver foxes which came from Siberia, the remnants of experiments first conducted in the sixties and which aimed to accelerate the generational changes of domestication. They are her pride and joy, named Yue (moon) and Junjie (handsome).
She has a secondary passion for collecting martial weaponry, though unlike her big brother, it’s just for show. She attended all Zixin’s competitions growing up, but it was never a world she was allowed to join. Her eye is pulled towards beauty first, but has an interest in anything with history.
Though she is sociable Jia Xin is selective with who she associates with, not out of any particular haughtiness, but because of her lifestyle. She’s used to a bubble, and naturally sees a divide between herself and those around her. Though she would be surprised to consider it so given the freedom and control she enjoys, her life has been sheltered in many ways. She has a regal, sometimes aloof aura – and certainly that is a mystery she cultivates to her advantage. Yet her sense of humour is surprisingly sly. She’s both creative and cunning. A little like her foxes.
