A Tribal by birth Ing Rao spent her childhood in the jungles outside of the Empire. There she was trained to be a hunter, not only to catch food but to help defend her tribe from the various beasts and monsters that roam the wilderness.  As a young teenager she was hunting by herself when she wandered into a nearby village, there her life was changed forever when she met a retired chef once renown all throughout the Empire.  She returned every day and soon became his student, learning the cooking art of his family and using her hunting skills to gain more exotic ingredients for them to make use of.  As the years passed she became both a master chef and hunter/tracker, soon picking up his former name as she began to travel the Empire crafting dishes desired by even the highest nobles and foreign leaders. She continues to do so despite constant requests to hire her permanently, she instead focuses on building her knowledge and skills and increasing the honor of her art by attempting to craft a dish worthy of going down in their peoples legends.
