History

China's magic comes from a vast array of symbols. These symbols can be found everywhere, in her library, in her apartment, even as tatoos on her body. Each symbol wields a different power; sometimes as potent as hurling shockwaves of blue energy at her enemies, or as simple as boiling the water in a kettle. Other known symbols on China's body are red symbols on her knuckles which appear to give her enhanced strength, one by her jaw bone which initiates the healing process and forces out any unknown materials and a symbol on the palm of her hand which apparently just kills anyone who is touching it, as shown when fighting the Cleavers in "Dark Days"

China is a collector; she does not participate if she can help it, and is content with supplying Skulduggery and Valkyrie with leads to help them on their investigations. China describes herself as neutral; not participating. She rescues both Skulduggery and Valkyrie several times. After the Sceptre of the Ancients is robbed of it's power, China takes it as a keepsake.

She employs two bodyguards to protect her from Baron Vengeous, Sev and Zephyr, but they are both destroyed. China and Vengeous clash, but China is overwhelmed by the Necromancer power. When the Grotesquery rises, she attacks Vengeous, aiding Skulduggery and Valkyrie in killing him once and for all. Vengeous regards her as a traitor to the Faceless Ones.

She is endlessly pursued by Remus Crux, Skulduggery's incompetent replacement. Crux blackmails her, and it is implied she was involved with Skulduggery coming back to life, and that Skulduggery would kill her if he ever found out. She ultimately refuses to comply, however, remaining loyal to Skulduggery. She is shortly arrested after the second visit from Crux, but they are stopped by Jaron Gallow. Jaron tries to get her back as the leader, but China refuses. Gallow states that he is ready to kill the current leader for her, but China refuses again. Just as Gallow begins to show signs of aggression, China uses her symbols to escape. She also fought at Aranmore Farm, her main target Gruesome Krav. Mr Bliss soon arrives and attacks him for trying to destroy the only family he had left. After the Faceless Ones get through the portal, China finds Remus Crux again, who has gone insane as a result of looking at one of the gods. China finds her secret intact, takes the Sceptre from him and goes to kill him, but is stopped by Valkyrie, who unwittingly saves him by demanding the Sceptre. China, thinking that killing Crux would seem suspicious, lets him live. It is unknown whether she will try again later on.

China gets badly injured by a bullet, and is extremely weak. The secret is revealed. Serpine killed Skulduggery, but "China led his family into the trap." China killed Crux despite her wound after he said it out loud.
