ZhiZhi Qiu

ZhiZhi stands about 5' (or whatever passes as relatively short but not tiny) and looks to weigh about 100lbs. She wears an assortment of sashes and scarves over a motley assortment of beautiful and brightly colored silk garments (a shirt and a pair of pants, not a dress). She has a finely tooled leather harness in which she carries a drum about 2' in diameter on her back. The drum is beautifully carved with ancient characters and appears to be made out of very rare and expensive wood. Her hair is black, falling to the small of her back in a series of small and well maintained braids that she keeps tied back. When resting, she will usually prop the drum on its stand, sit astride it, and play it lightly with a pair of drum strikers. When walking, she will either keep the drum on her back or swing it around under one arm and play it with the other. She wears no armor and carries no visible weapons of any kind. Her mixed ethnicity, dress, and her unique Grundle dialect make it clear that she is a gypsy: traveling performers, thieves, and ne'er-do-goods that move from town to town across the six kingdoms, scraping by on whatever they can find, beg, or steal.
