“ | About 20 centuries ago, There was an Emperor whose greed brought deep suffering to all of China, the heavens sent a meteor to strike over a mountain, turning it green and releasing the tao tei. From that day on, the Tao Tei rise every 60 years discouraging the north of china. They come to remind us of what happens when greed is unchecked. They eat anything, alive or dead and take food to their queen, she depends on her soldiers to feed her, only with the food they provide is she able to multiply. the capital and it's 2 million people is only 800 li away. if the tao tei ever had that much nourishment, no corner of the world would be safe. | „ |

- After being defeated all her Tao Tei minions die with her.
- She doesn't really care about the Tao Tei, she only uses them to give her sustenance and so she can remain in power. even if she called a retreat once she lost too many, it was out of pragmatism.
- She has also has a full moral agency as she is the only one of the species who is capable of higher thinking and has sentience seen by her being a tactician, when she orders a retreat, was able to build a tunnel under the wall and sense she is in danger from black powder weapons, tried to put out a flame when attacked by black powder weapons and she clearly has a sadistic personality, so she is characterized enough too.
