And I chose 
LIGHT hehe
My character's name Wǔ Méi. She was born in family of aristocratic elite in 568 A.C, China.
At the age 17 her father decided to send her to temple, where she lived with monks side by side, and trying follow all rules to reach Enlightenment.
When Wǔ Méi reached 21 age, the temple was attacked and destroyed by mercenaries. All her teachers, and close friends were died.
She survived thanks to the help of Sōng Shān monastery monks.
All sufferings that she had to endure sharpened her body, sharpened her mind. There is no Light without Dark. So, she become warrior of Light seeking juctice in cruel and treacherous world, with her guzheng (chinese 21 Stringed Zithers) behind her back.
The heart of a general,
The Mind of Confucius
The bravery of a hero,
The Compassion of a Buddha
Here is some first sketches of Wǔ Méi
