I highly recommend to listen the soundtrack below, while reading the backstory

> In the ethereal tapestry of otherworldly existence,
two enigmatic spirits emerged, each bearing the essence of weapons steeped in stories of blood and devotion.
To the left, materializing from the shadows of a turbulent past, stood the Bloody Assassin—a spectral figure with a history entwined with the service of royalty.
Once a mercenary and bodyguard, this youthful spirit navigated the intricate conflicts within kingdoms, leaving in its wake a trail of vanquished foes and fulfilled contracts. The fan it wielded, a cursed artifact known as "Vermilion Gaze," bore sharp blades and radiated a mystical purple all-seeing flame, its lethal touch scorching the souls of those marked by its blades. Despite its grim legacy, the Bloody Assassin adhered to a personal code, sparing bloodshed when not absolutely necessary. Vermilion Gaze, a silent witness to countless masters, became a paradoxical symbol of protection and shadows.

While on the right, Nimbus Quiver, a guqin spirit, manifested with an air of unwavering loyalty. Its existence was devoted entirely to one master, whose life it safeguarded with its
winged gracefulness and the ethereal strains of its magical golden strings. The weapon, christened Nimbus Quiver, resonated with a melody that epitomized justice, shielding the master until the final notes of mortality played out. When the master departed the earthly realm due to the passage of time, Nimbus Quiver, gripped by an overwhelming sorrow, bound itself to the master's resting place.
Imprisoned within the melancholy chords of the guqin, it patiently awaited the arrival of a new master.
Both spirits shared a youthful visage and childlike disposition, yet their conduct diverged in profound ways. The Bloody Assassin, a harbinger of a violent past, exhibited a demeanor of silence and protection, refraining from wanton bloodshed. In contrast, Nimbus Quiver, driven by an unwavering sense of justice, wielded its strings with merciless precision against those deemed undeserving. In this paradoxical symphony of innocence and severity, both spirits, with open hearts, stood as guardians in the ethereal realm, ready to serve those deemed worthy of their storied and unique powers...

UPD: Hello everyone! Another great reason to post new designs. I'm in process of healing and recovering, and my eye sight is recovering well currently! Couple weeks ago got special ocular covering "eye-patch" (or occluder) to wear outside or while working, so now i got lot of questions from people i know about that, since i look like a pirate with the thing, huh. I like to answer with the same "I've lost a wager" and make them laugh x) So anyways, Lunar New Year is almost there, so i decided it would be good thing to make another themed characters (and also i've got kinda inspired with chinese themes, since i was lighting a LOT of sandal incense sticks while healing at home)! I really loved how they turned out actually and what ideas i've put in their stories, so hope you'll enjoy them too!

>Also since i keep working on current orders - special thanks to my patient customers! As always i do really appreciate it a lot, so please stay in touch and keep in mind that i'm always open for DMs! <
