> Good characterisation isn't just writing characters in such a way that they are consistent with past depictions so that the fans say "yep, that's them". That's part of it, but the harder bit is to write the characters doing something new or different in such a way that their actions also make readers say "yep, that's them too."

Thanks...I think.  I tried to keep it true to the fact that Liu Xi seems to come to every decision erratically.  She never takes a straight path.  It's a reflection of her lack of confidence.  But that seems to be eroding away, which is good.
