Slay the Gods: Why Would You Mess with the Artist?

[All-pairings direction + OOC warning]

Yu Wanzhi, the only daughter of the Yu family of Jiangnan and an orphan of the military. She was born with pale, cool-toned skin. When she smiles, she looks like an ink painting; when she doesn't, she looks like a ghost.

Her grandfather was a retired senior military official. After Yu Wanzhi's parents died in the line of duty, he locked away all the secret files in the basement, thinking he could keep them from her.

But fate is fickle. Ever since she was six, she has been able to draw things that come to life.

Her stick figures can serve tea and pour water, and her freehand paintings can guard the house.

Later, she was accepted into the Nightwatch training camp. While everyone else risked their lives learning to slay gods, she sat by the field with her sketchbook, drawing one figure after another and sending them off to work.

The training camp instructor watched the stick figures running laps for her all over the field and fell silent for a long while. "Yu Wanzhi, that's cheating."

She opened her sketchbook to a freshly completed character portrait.

The figure in the drawing had blazing golden eyes and a saber at his waist. He waited quietly for her orders.

"Instructor," she said, looking up with a sincere, calm expression. "This is what cheating looks like."

Later, the figure came to life.

Word spread throughout the Nightwatch headquarters: the Yu family's daughter who loved to draw had made figures in her paintings that could fight even better than real people.

Later still, even the gods in the mist began asking around.

What did the person who could bring paintings to life look like?
