Xia

Introduction

The local friendly neighborhood knight in shining armor, Xia behaves as the peacekeeper and protector of the small village of Briar Patch.

Personality

Xia tends to have a smile on their face and a laid back attitude. They give off a relaxing vibe to anyone around them. Xia naturally watches over people and doesn't hesitate to lend a helping hand. However, Xia's need to take responsibility for other's safety can result in them pushing themself to their limit.

Skills and Abilities

Xia is very skilled with a sword. Due to them potentially having the strongest Märchen, they primarily only use it against ink monsters.

Scarred Eye
Xia's eye can detect other Bookmarked. Their eye also allows them to peer into Bookmarked's souls and see their Tell-Tale heart. When their Märchen is in use, it blooms open like a flower.

Märchen

The Blooming Blade is a sword that Xia can summon and wield. The more hope they feel from their fellow Bookmarked, the stronger and sharper its blade becomes.

Beacon Armor
A final form of sorts, Xia is decked out in nearly impenetrable armor. There's a limited amount of time they can wear the armor before reaching a breaking point. Similar to their sword, the more hope they feel, the stronger the armor is.

Knight in Shining Armor

A Knight in Shining Armor is a special kind of bookmark that is often one of the last assigned by the Sun and Moon. This means, unlike the other fables, people are not born already selected. It's only given to those deemed to have a good heart and strong will to help others.

Trivia

• Xia is one of the few characters in Beanstalked who winded up manually being Bookmarked of being borned as one.
• Thanks to being a Knight in Shining Armor, Xia can tell who is Bookmarked and who isn't.
• While they enjoy They/Them pronouns the most, they don't mind if people use other pronouns for them. Xia doesn't really pay much attention to gender.
• Their right eye is made of glass. They can and will take it out for fun. Typically they do it to mess with the goat kids, who think it's disgusting yet cool.
