Adujan

Adujan was an orphan and a Khishig of the Bekhai. Her friends call her Yan. She was later adopted by Du Min Gyu and took on the name Du Min Yan.

Appearance
Slim, tall, pale-skinned, with long shapely legs, wide hips, slim waist, and short dark hair. She has horns that come out from the front of her head, curving back and going straight up, like demon horns, almost 15 cm long, making her look even taller than she already is.undefined

Personality
Bold, tenacious, selfless and a little saucy. Loves animals, especially Quins.

Has a habit of grumbling to herself. Unladylike at times.

Background
Growing up in the Village's orphanage and continuously being overlooked had left her bitter that no one would accept her. She wanted to prove to everyone that she was worthy of love and a family; belonged as one of the People. To that end she worked tirelessly to be recognized for her strength as an individual - as a Sentinel.

Her childhood dream was to surpass her idol, Akanai, the Chief Provost and the Herald of the Storms. She learned how to read, write, and do arithmetic, but only because she heard they were required skills for Military Officers, and a good thing too. If not for those lessons, Yan would’ve never recognized the beauty of what she discovered tucked beneath the housemarm’s mattress. Her love of tawdry erotic fiction aside, Yan’s dedication to the Martial Path saw her punished repeatedly for skipping lessons and shirking chores in favour of seeking Insight in the Forms and Enlightenment in Balance. This earned her a place at the head of the pack with regards to Martial ability.undefined

Powers and Abilities
She moves like a boxer in one moment, dancing away like a ballerina the next, one moment crude and abrasive, the next graceful and fluid.undefined

The Bekhai
Falling Rain: Bitter rival turned friend, and eventually lover and husband. She is deeply in love with him, though she is occasionally confused by how silly he may act at times.

Huushal: Big Huu had been her closest friend, her sparring partner and confidant, always happy to help her train and willing to endure her verbal barbs. She'd even had a crush on him for all of a week until she realized how boring and naggy he could be. undefined

Altan, Mugi, Tomor: Orphanage friends.

Ghurda: Confided with her when she ran away and helped her become a Martial Warrior. undefined

Shana: Her Quin. Bonded during her time as a Sentinel and later gifted to her by Rain.

Central
Du Min Gyu: Mentor and Grandpa. Taken in as his Terminal Disciple and adopted granddaughter, much to the chagrin of his family.undefined

Eun: Attendant and a surrogate mother of sorts. After being adopted as Du Min Yan, she was taught and cared for to conduct herself as a lady of the Du family.

Kyung: Big brother. Convinced Du Min Gyu to adopt him into the family.

Ryo Da'in: God aunt. The Ryo family helped her earn a place in the Hwarang when all her challenges were ignored and left unanswered. Adujan later helped out Ryo Da'in by motivating Du Min Gyu to adopt the young woman as his goddaughter.

Sutah: Second in command of her retinue after he requested to be demoted and reassigned to her.undefined

Trivia

 * The 'jan' in Adujan sounds like 'Yan'
 * Yan had long hair once, but then it got in her way during a sparring match and she hacked it all off with a hunting knife. Huu, Altan, and Mugi had laughed at the result and she’d laughed along, but then she spent most of the night regretting her rash decision and sobbing in Tomor’s arms.undefined
