PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What to know
Xue Lian is associated with the Serpent’s medicine, toxins and pulse-reading. The talent to understand what moves through the body is powerful precisely because it also makes manipulation possible.
The reader’s question is not only whether she can identify poison, but what knowledge obliges her to do.
Xue Lian is associated with knowledge that can cure and harm. The Snake's medicine, venom, antidotes and pulse-reading make interpretation as important as intervention: identifying a substance is not the same thing as deciding how to use it. Her dossier therefore centers the ethical uncertainty of expertise rather than presenting a catalogue of hidden cures. The Serpent Alchemy House offers a mapped context, and the Snake Seal record holds the general rules and cost.
