Name: Lihou Shen
Age: 279 (looks around 22 due to anti aging magic)
Appearence: Waist Length Black Hair, Often in elaborate oriental styles. Brown eyes, light tan. Often wears colourful, traditional chinese clothes from different periods.
History: Lihou Shen was first a martial artist with a good reputation in China. When she first became aware of her magical ability Lihou combined her new powers with her martial arts, making her an even more formidable opponant. At the age of 100, she lost a fight for the first time, to another wizard, who used only his wand. Though the result was never known by the general public, Lihou was still ashamed and decided to perfect her magical skills without her sword. Over the decades she improved, until 20 years later she challenged the wizard again, and won convincingly.
Even after this victory she felt something was missing. She soon realised she missed using her martial arts and needed to do something about it. She remembered the owner of the Phoenix which had given herwand it's core was using the elixer of life. So she went to see him, and found the bird had given another tail feather for wand making. She purchased the feather and managed to combine it with her beloved sword, with which she had fought so many battles. Now her sword acting as a wand and a blade she honed her skills to near perfection.
However in the early 1930's she began to feel empty again, and realised that if she died, her art would die with her. She decided to help re-establish the International Wizarding University in the hope of finding a witch or wizard capable of learning the art she had created.
Personality: Even though she has lived for so long, Lihou still has a youthful vigour to her, but she still lives by her mantra: live is simple, learn, fight, live, nothing to it. To her life is a constant battle, and obstacles must be overcome, but she has to learn something along the way.
Wand: 15 3/4 inch Eboney, Phoenix Tail Feather.
Also owns a chinese Long Sword, called Sying Long, which she uses in duels.
