Physical description:
- Mask: Standing at 5'10", she is very lithe and graceful, as if she floats, and yet there is a presence that many find intimidating. She seems to be an odd mix of European and Asian features. She is beautiful, but in a dangerous kind of way. Her clothing is simple yet elegant, with often a gem, or valuable bobble on her person somewhere.
- Mien: One of her most defining characteristics is the fact she looks strikingly similar to her brother, and has metallic tinged skin which seems to change color. Her Draconic influence is ever present in her reptilian eyes, and fangs. Her features also tend to lean more towards an Oriental look. You can often find a small emblem of a dragon somewhere on her person at all times.

Background:
Belinda, or Linda as she preferred to be called and her brother, grew up in a high rise building over looking the beautiful but darker sides of Hong Kong. Their father, a known "made man", was a dealer of goods, both legal and illegal, for his bosses in America and China. Known for being the "go to guy", they grew up constantly connected to the movers and shakers of the cities glittering towers, and its darker underbelly.
By age 6, their father divorced their mother and married a beautiful Hong Kong Trophy wife. This action stood as one of the earliest reminders of what was expected of her and her brother, you are either somebody or you are a nobody. Growing up Linda was an athletic youth. Throughout her childhood she was praised for bringing home more and more trophies for her father to display. With each win, her father rewarded her a little more, and recognized her smaller, and more social brother less and less. This rift continues even to this day as Archades constantly feels trapped by the shadow of his older sister, a constant reminder from their father that he is not good enough. By the time Linda was ready for college she was competing on the level of Olympic athletes specializing in the Biathlon. At the same time business, turned sour for her father as he arranged to have her and her brother to move back to the US and avoid the trouble about to darken their door step. She accepted a scholarship to Indiana University hoping to be able to compete in the upcoming 1984 Olympics. They arrived April 16th. On April 23, they went to a large Flee Market on the outskirts of town. All Linda remembers is shopping with her brother, going into a booth she didn't remember seeing a moments before, looking at a trinket, and getting pulled into the darkness from behind.
Today Bao, seeks to find the person who sold her into the life she now knows, and forget all memories of a life she knew half way across the world.
