โ Nie Jiayi. They have a close relationship, and she loves any time that she can go and visit her. Though they arenโt quite as close as they used to be once she begins her training with the Nie Clan.

โ She belongs to the Nie Sect. Her mother is a distant relative to the Nie family, but a secondary branch like Wen Qing & Wen Ning. She became a disciple for the Nie Clan after having shown a higher cultivation prowess and strategic mind. Her clan, the Tian clan, is a rather small clan that resides in Qinghe and is overseen by the Nie clan. Sheโs an only child, and as such was close to her martial siblings. That carries on to when she joins the Nie Clan sect.
Appearance & Personality
๐๐จ๐๐ฒ
โ Though she looks lithe and willowy, she has a hidden strength. Scars are tbd

โ Dark brown hair that reaches at least mid-back. Oftentimes sheโll have a bun and then loose hair. She tends to like changing up her hair accessories which are often provided by Jin Guangyao with Nie Huaisangโs goodies. If sheโs close to you sheโll sometimes let you braid her hair (Nie Huaisang being the first).
๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ซ๐
โ Kexinโs attire depends on what sheโs doing. When working sheโll wear her disciple uniform but when it comes to formal occasions or casual occasions she likes to indulge in finer, more decorative attire, though it keeps with the color scheme of the Nie Clanโs color palette. She quite enjoys jewelry, but once more only when sheโs not working. That being said, she does always wear the same bracelet no matter if sheโs working or not. Once she begins her training under the Nie Clan, she always carries a fan (persuaded by her martial brother of course).

โ Given that she began her training outside of the Nie clan, her sword would be a smaller, more elegant saber. Specifically, a Liuyedao (Willow-leaf saber) of about 32-34in blade. Grey, dark green, gold, and dark purple are the colors of the saber. Its name is: Xฤซn Yรฌ which is a word that represents oneโs heartfelt intention towards someone. Itโs a powerful expression of love, care, and understanding. Iโll add a picture instead of describing the sword itself. Just imagine the blade is a little more curved. As far as the scabbard/sheath, itโs made of a marble-like material thatโs the dark green on the hilt of the sword. The handle-like part on the scabbard/sheath is deep purple that has a tassel in the colors of the Nie clan. On the top of the scabbard/sheath is an ornamentation of a beast head in steel. The bottom of the scabbard/sheath has ornamentation of the same color, but rather than it also being a beast, itโs a fan and flowers. Itโs made this way because due to the cultivating ways of the Nie clan and their sabers, Kexin tries to focus on balance a lot, so this is an example of her more battle-ready, aggressive side, and her softer side balancing each other even on her sword.photo: https://www.tumblr.com/kirysmuses/738254450979930112/mdzs-oc-saber-xin-li?source=shareโ She also has a fan as a weapon, named Qing xin which means to clear one's mind, tranqualize the mind, clearing away the heart-fire. This came about because when Wei Wuxian mentioned using resentful energy during the cloud recesses lecture, she entertained the idea since their saber techniques were a bit similar. But quickly decided not to think on it. But she did wonder about other forms of cultivation and spiritual weapons like the music of the Lans or Zidian. It made her wonder if something like a fan could focus spiritual power as well. She found a little information on it and started training in it and found that not only did it work, but the gentle, calm techniques used with it work well to balance out damage to the qi caused by the saber techniques. This proved rather useful when the Wens took the disciples' swords and she started using her fan offensively.๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ
โ She would probably like to learn to play the guqin from Lan Xichen, given both of their closeness to Nie Mingjue and the fact that the guqin can soothe pent up qi. But she wouldnโt carry any instrument.๐๐๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐
๐๐๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ซ
โ She takes her training very seriously, so during the times that sheโs working and training she tries to stay focused (though itโs difficult with Huaisang, Wei Wuxian, and Jiang Chengโs antics). That being said, she also likes to have fun and let loose when the time is right. Or when itโs not a great time but she ends up getting swept into the previously mentioned antics. She also likes collecting things (she did grow up with Nie Huaisang, after all). She does have flare ups of anger at times, given the Nie Clan cultivation techniques, but she tries her best to keep them at bay and focuses strongly on balancing her energy and emotions in hopes that it will keep her sword from getting filled with too much resentful energy.

โ Tian Kang. When she was very small her father was her favorite person. As she got a little older, he began to focus more on wanting to bring prestige to their clan, and as such wasnโt around as much as sheโd like. When she originally chose to train with the Nie clan, he wasnโt very happy about the decision. But he realized that it was her decision to make, and they smoothed things out. Though she is still not nearly as close to him as she was as a child.

โ She has no blood siblings, only her martial siblings originally. When she trains under the Nie clan, they become her martial siblings as well. Then as Nie Mingjue, Lan Xichen, and Jin Guangyao became sworn brothers, so too did she become the sworn sister of Nie Mingjue & Nie Huaisang. JGY & LXC aren't her sworn siblings in the way the Nie brothers are, but she does seem them as brothers
๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ
โ Though they are neither her martial, blood, or sworn siblings, she does come to see Wei Wuxian and Yanli as siblings (in my HC she ends up with Jiang Cheng but that can stay platonic/famililal if my writing partner wants in which case Jiang Cheng would also be included here)
