Background: Always the restless one, Bao often spent more time in the forests than the village. As she grew into her adulthood, Bao fell in with the scouts that wonder the borders of the forests, keeping watch for trouble. Over the years she has developed some ability to move unseen and unheard while missing little. On occasion, she and the other scouts have run accross traps obviously set for humaniods. Sometimes they are designed to be lethal, sometimes not. Rumour has it that some of the human nobles want to have a Xing-Xing as a pet. Bao thinks that it sounds about right for humans, but she has never met any Xing-Xing that can say for sure. Most often, trouble came in the form of humans. As a result, she has developed a understanding of humans, something which has allowed her to avoid violent confrontations through a mixture of Diplomacy and Intimidation. If forced to fight, she relies on her mobility to stay out of trouble, and feints to open up her opponent's defences (Bluff).
Bao has spent some time travelling through the lands of the humans near her home. This was done mostly in order to Gather Information as to who was who, what was happening and what might have been going to, but also partly out of curiousity. Once or twice she has broken into homes to persue a particular rumour. It is not something that she likes doing, if for no other reason than that human dwellings smell strange.
