CHARACTER
Name: Shao Jun
Canon: Assassin’s Creed
Timeline: Post-Embers, a day after leaving Villa Auditore
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:

First off, Shao Jun is eager to learn. She followed her mentor all the way from China to meet Ezio and, even after her mentor was killed, she continued on. Jun would sneak into Ezio’s study even, in the pursuit of the knowledge she sought. She was usually very sincere though, listening to everything Ezio had to say while still trying to get him to understand her reasoning so that he’d teach her what he knew. Jun can also be quite stubborn, obviously shown but how she kept trying to get Ezio to help her.

She’s loving, or at least very caring. The Chinese Assassin traveled a long way so that she and her mentor could get Ezio’s help to rebuild their Order. And despite Ezio’s firm refusal’s in the beginning, Shao Jun kept at it until, finally, he gave her a chance and started telling her about his beginnings as an assassin and what he learned. And, even after only knowing Ezio a few days, she showed obvious concern for the Master Assassin when one of the Imperial Soldiers slammed him into a tree. Possibly even fearing that he’d been killed.

It’s entirely possible that she’s also a bit paranoid, often staying up through the nights to keep a watch rather than sleeping. While it is good for an assassin to be aware of his or her surroundings, it is not good if they are too weak from a lack of sleep to defend against any threats. And, of course, as an assassin she’s quite stealthy. Perhaps even more so than assassin’s in the Italian Order because her weaponry is all concealed but for her sword, which remains in it’s sheath. Jun is also open to new experiences involving different cultures and beliefs, trying to her best to speak what little Italian she knew out of respect for the Auditore’s and their culture.

By the end of Ember’s, Shao Jun’s resolve had strengthened. She understood that it would take a long time to reunite the Brotherhood in China but with what Ezio taught her, she knew she could do it.

First Person: (Is it okay if I use part of what I wrote for the Test-Drive meme? Otherwise, I’ll write a new sample, no problem.)

[The train ride had been both exciting and nerve wracking for the young assassin. More nerve wracking then anything and the shaking had made her sick. So when the train finally came to a stop, she stumbled out, dropped a small box and made her way to the far corner of the station and emptied the contents of her stomach. She suddenly regretted eating her fill during each mean, when Sophia had asked her to stay in the villa.]

If I never have to ride that thing again, it will be too soon.

[Coughing a bit, the young assassin spit out what remained in her mouth and stood up straight. That moment alone could have gotten her killed. She looked around, picking up the box once more before plucking the watch from the ground. Curious little thing. Made of gold, she guessed. She was a little startled when she pressed a small clip and it popped open, recording her. Jun’s hood hides most of her face from the video. It only records for about a minute before the watch is shut and Jun places the watch in her robes.]

Third Person:

Shadows.

This city had a lot of shadows. Night and day, there were shadows and Shao Jun’s eyes made sure to stare deep enough to know whether there was a threat there or not. At times, she wished that she had Eagle Vision, like Master Ezio. She managed just as well without it though, as she’d proven by surviving all the way to Firenze and against the Imperial Soldiers sent after her mentor and herself. And now she survived in this city. A city with no Templars or Imperials that wanted to hunt down anyone that would oppose Jiajing’s throne.

Her skills could get very rusty quick here though. She’d been warned against entering the forest but what could a little bit of training in there hurt? She was a well-trained assassin. A few beasts couldn’t be too much of a challenge, could they? Perhaps she would ask someone to join her though. They’d made it seem much worse than it seemed but they had been here longer than she had been. Yes, she’d definitely ask someone to accompany her, but only to interfere if she could not handle it. That was the point of training after all.
