Min sits at a table, a cup of sake in one hand, her other arm draped over the shoulders of an anxious young man.
“So I’ve got this big, bad bandit lord just lying at my feet,” Min tells the man, “and the guy just starts sobbing and begging me not to eat him. Pathetic, right?”
The man nods stiffly and attempts to smile. His terror is obvious, and he wants nothing more than to be free from Min’s grasp, but he’s too scared to risk trying to break her hold.
Min laughs and takes another swallow of sake. “Honestly, I did him a favor by digesting him. Better I turn him to fat on my breasts than make him slink back and tell the other bandits what a weakling he is. Don’t you think so?”

An illustration for the first appearance of Min Ziujiu in "Ti Bao and the Order of Flesh".

Though Min is of the same order as Ti Bao, she is far more relaxed and playful. She is skilled in lying, story-telling and drinking, all three of which she is demonstrating here.

Min is 21, two years older than Ti Bao, but her lack of discipline held her back, so she and Ti Bao complete their training and left the temple just a couple days apart.

Min's fighting style is focused on baiting, evasion and counter-attacks. She is as playful on the field of battle as she is in the barroom, and excels at flustering an opponent an off balancing them with acrobatic strikes. While Min's use of kicks and leaps has given her a heightened awareness of range, she lacks power and stamina, and can't take much of a beating if cornered.

If befriended, Min can aid Ti Bao in combat, help spread elaborate tales of her strength, and relieve her tension and stress through... intimate methods.

Min Zuijiu belongs to me.
