Personality
Likes:
Silence, food, meditation, learning, books and knowledge, herb lore, and watching chaos and calamity ensue.
Favorite drink is tea, closely followed by spiced cider then coffee, which is somewhat of a novelty to her because her traditional family never had any while she was growing up and she views it more as a 'commoner's' drink.
Favorite food is pomegranate followed by plain rice with chopped or scrambled eggs.
Favorite color is alizarin.
Playing the flute.
Crows.
Dislikes:
Annoying people, idiots, optimists, talking, and untruths.
Quirks:
Is very superstitious and always has at least 8 (number that means prosper, wealth, and/or fortune) talismans for good luck and four (number meaning death) curses for others on her person, displayed for all to see and hidden beneath her clothing receptively.
Fears:
Bad luck or bad omens towards herself or to those close enough that it would harm her and angering the gods/tempting fate.
Ravens.

Personality:
Shi is arrogant in an aloof, smug kind of way. She is a very sly and conniving individual who doesn't trust anyone easily. She words hold meaning to her and if she says something she will do it. Her word is her oath and her contract, and so she never says things lightly. She is a very serious person who has buried all emotions so deep she can no longer recognize any but the most common: blood lust, exhilaration, wrath and hatred, sadness, and greed.
Shi's words hold meaning to her and if she says something she will do it. Her word is her oath and her contract, and so she never says things lightly. She is an extremely honor-bound individual and will not engage in a battle with someone who is below her level of prowess unless in self-defense. Though she places deep significance on honor, she is not above twisting the truth to her advantage and often leaves out some of it, if it is to her benefit.
She prefers to not talk if she doesn't have to- doesn't like to waste her words or her breath and she has a very cynical and pessimistic outlook on life, which she likes to call realistic and perhaps somewhat cynical. Hates doing anything without being rewarded for it, and so won't do things 'out of the goodness of her heart'. Everything she does, or rather doesn't do, is measured by the amount of effort something takes versus the reward or effect it will create unless, of course, there's a punishment for not doing something - Shi is a firm believer in carrot-stick policy.
She is lazy, extremely lazy... however, if she is ordered by a higher up then she gets things done as quickly and efficiently as possible. The sooner it's done the sooner she gets to go back to lazing about. Completely oblivious to any flirting directed towards her, otherwise sharp as a whip to pick up on most other things.
Shi also tends to zone out, often forgetting to breathe or blink in these times, making her look dead. Sometimes though, she just forgets to breathe (or is perhaps too lazy to- no one has figured out which yet).
Dislikes people in general, though will not begrudge them her favors if they ask, if they can pay for the services rendered, of course.
