Matriarch Xing Yi Qiao

By Henry



Years of studying with a shady mentor, and dealing with personal tragedy has brought changes in the once idealistic and eager princess.  When she became Empress she was much harsher than people expected,  her rule cold and deadly while still ensuring the prosperity of her people, often at the cost of several others.  The typical mostly hands off approach was gone, replaced with what many referred to as the iron fist of progress.  She soon became one of the most feared leaders on several worlds, a war criminal and heartless tyrant to seem a beacon of hope and restoring former glory to others.  While her presence was everywhere in her reign, what she actually did outsides of policies and punishments is unknown to the majority of people. But she would frequently vanish for a while leaving her followers to simply follower directions laid out, as soon as her daughter became of age she left the Empire for over a decade with no sightings.  Only returned after her granddaughter began to go through training, and leaving once more (with the granddaughter) when the then current Empress died.  Now in present day she sort of just floats in and out, rumors about her personally dealing with those who know too much or she holds a grudge against. Despite being retired she holds a lot of influence and many remain loyal to her and many believe that she may still secretly run the Empire and that Empress Li Hua could be merely a puppet following her grandmothers commands.
