I am a narrative-focused creative writer with a passion for storytelling, worldbuilding, and emotionally-driven character journeys. I design lore, factions, and magic systems, and I’m skilled at emotional pacing and crafting character arcs that unfold across branching narratives. I’m currently developing a serialized wuxia/xianxia novel and am deeply interested in mythology-driven fantasy that blends Chinese folklore with Western accessibility. I bring RPG reading experience, editing know-how, and a collaborative, adaptive approach, and I learn narrative tools quickly (e.g., Twine) to keep projects moving forward. I am adaptive and collaborative, with a strong interest in mythology-driven fantasy worlds and culturally interwoven narrative design. I’m familiar with Chinese folklore, wuxia/xianxia themes, religious motifs, qi-cultivation dynamics, and inter-clan conflict structures, with the ability to blend these elements into Western-accessible story logic. I have RPG gameplay reading experience and a background in editing, feedback handling, and iterative story refinement, plus a quick learner when it comes to narrative tools like Twine and related engines.
