China Sorrows AGE If judged by her contemporaries, 400 and some, but don't ask. HOMETOWN Dublin, Ireland SPECIES sorcerer | adept | human FAMILY None living. LANGUAGE Many. Primarily English, Gaeilge. OCCUPATION information broker | librarian OTHERS "The first time anyone sets eyes on China, they fall in love. Believe me, the effect lessens the more you get to know her." -Skulduggery Pleasant RELATIONSHIPS Skulduggery Pleasant No matter what universe, this will always be a phenomenally complicated relationship. He knows her better than any other living, and she both needs that and hates him for it. She'll help him when he asks, more often than not, occasionally against her better judgment. Forgiveness still perplexes them both. Valkyrie Cain Skulduggery's protegé. China is fond of her, sees in her some of herself, only perhaps in a position to make some few better choices. One of the few people China would call friend. Proof, that she has something to lose. Mr Bliss China's elder brother, but he took his name after she chose hers, and in direct contrast to her. He left their family first; he challenged her to do the same. She did not. She lost him twice: first, when he became a Cleaver, and second, when he died before her pride could bend to reconciliation.

“You know,” China said, “there was a time when nobody dared threaten me. I just wouldn’t stand for it. The amount of people I killed, of bodies I twisted and bones I snapped, all because they had allowed their anger to momentarily overwhelm their good sense. I regret it all now, of course. I was out of control. I was indulging the darkness inside me far too often. I was not, Mr Prave, a very nice person. But I have changed. I have allowed the years to mellow me. Now I find joy in simple pleasures. A good book. A fine wine. Good company. All of these things make me smile. They make me happy. “But every once in a while, I get the urge. You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? The urge for destruction. The urge to hurt, maim, kill. It’s quite a thing, to experience that urge, to let it wash over you, to give in to it. It’s addictive. It’s all-consuming. You lose yourself to it. It’s quite, quite wonderful. I can feel it, even as I speak, tapping around the edges of my mind, trying to prise me open, slip its fingers in. And it would be so easy to let it happen. But we’re all like that, aren’t we? We’re all barbarians at our core. We’re all savage, murderous beasts. I know I am. I’m sure you are. The only difference between us, Mr Prave, is how loudly we roar. I know I roar very loudly indeed. How about you? Do you think you can match me?” ~China Sorrows, Skulduggery Pleasant: Death Bringer, p 218-219 The World China comes from an Ireland not unlike that of twenty-first century Earth. Magic is hidden from everyday folk, by care and law and in extreme circumstances people with the ability to manipulate memory, so to most people this world seems completely mundane. To those who become aware of magic, however, there’s an entire set of hidden communities, within and apart from the mortal world. Sorcerers in her world may live up to a thousand years. Naturally, their wars last longer, as well. Mevolent's war, which shaped the magical world as it is today, lasted hundreds of years.
