Su
Dr. Su Kaolla Rose Gray, MD. PhD (a.k.a. The God Eater)
There Is ALWAYS A First!
First Civilization
First Meal Of the Day
First Prime Of The ShiftVerse While Su is not the first Prime, nor the First Ward of The Shift... She IS The First Ward to be made into a Prime... the first person snatched up by a Prime, trained in modern education and combat... and brought to her own world to see what she'd learned. Trained by the Prime who claims to have MADE The Shift, Su was "Saved" from a life of miserable human nomadism and initiated into a FAR greater destiny.
Of All Wards, She learned the most about the Shift, so much so that she swore to become ITS Master, not the other way around! And now, because of that oath, she cannot be stopped.

Tenets of Faith
Those who worship Su do not do so publicly, as she has made it abundantly clear that she will not be tolerating anyone regarding her as the sort of thing she ultimately regards as her FOOD!
However, If Su's isolated, little religious movement were to have any sort of commandments they would mostly involve self determination and improvement... and the breaking of conceptual rules to reach a higher level of skill, ability, potential, etc... Whether alone or alongside others. Su does not care if those who believe in her get down on their knees and praise her might or not.
All she cares about is living her life to the fullest and anyone who seeks to reproduce her way of things would best follow her example in that!

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
The definition of a pint-sized powerhouse, Su is a curvy, broad bodied shortstack of a woman; not even four and a half feet tall with flawless copper skin and a deceptively squishy looking body that does not give when struck!
With near floor length hair usually woven into a long, dangerous braid with knives at the end that she can use to strike out at her foes; Su is an extremely flexible, agile and fast moving individual who consistently walks with a seductive, catlike grace and is endowed with the LITERAL Eye Of The Tiger!
While small and pitiable from a distance, closer examination shows Su to be a mature woman positively exploding with confidence and skill; an intimidating monster of a being despite her diminutive appearance and seeming helplessness!

Identifying Characteristics
The most easily identifiable feature of The Master Of Death is that she isn't even four and a half feet tall!
Like some sort of typified anime shortstack, Su is an incredibly short, curvy woman who regularly struggles to keep her assets in line!
From a distance one might be forgiven (But not by her!) for mistaking her for a particularly wide bodied child or perhaps a young, overweight Kandia teen.
However, once one gets closer her obviously well developed nature becomes all too clear; with heaving breasts that struggle against their wrappings, wide birthing hips and a mature body proportions! If you get close enough to actually meet face to face with Su you'll notice that her eyes are entirely foreign; more resembling those of a big cat than a human being.
Her mouth holds perfectly white feline canines that seem to grow as she opens her maw wider!
With thicker, harder, pointier nails that grow at nearly ten times normal speed and act as claws, even Su's hands and feet are clearly something... more than human; unable to wear conventional shoes without tearing through them after even light use. Even from a distance Su can always be pointed out in a crowd by her floor length black hair; most often in a braid that's been tipped with up to three long, tri-bladed knives woven into the end and secured with extremely durable silk cord.

Special abilities
One would be forgiven in assuming that Su is indestructible, as some parts of her absolutely are, most specifically her skeletal structure.
However, at over five times the standard accepted mass for her size, even punching Su in the chest is like striking a lead brick.
Her muscles, while only as physically bulky as human musculature, are several times as dense and far more efficient than their mundane counterparts, weight for weight; able to move her at great speeds over land and even water if she maintains her velocity. Furthermore, Su's body possesses a Reflective Pandimensional "Sheen" that sends a certain portion of any damage she takes directly back to sender; hands break, spears snap against her face and bullets rebound to strike those that fired them.
As a standard point of fact, it's assumed that this reflective damage resistance is typically stronger than a human can punch or kick.
Beyond even that, her ability to soak up damage is truly prodigious; with her capacity to reflect attacks entirely dwarfed by her ability to simply take them.
Even sources of damage that can pierce her flesh will find the wounds they DO impart far less severe than expected as her extremely dense anatomy is far better at dispersing injurious trauma than the standard human form. Having actively bolstered herself over the millennia with the flesh of GODS, Su is capable of superhuman feats generally deemed impossible outside of myths and comic books!
She can clear nearly two miles in a single bound and can reach about a quarter of that directly upward from a stand.
She has a casual cruising speed of just under the speed of sound and, if she really wants to push it, she can eclipse that speed by a factor of five!
Her finger and toenails are hard like claws and can pierce through metal armor while her teeth are even more enduring and can bite through almost anything she can get her mouth on!
Her senses are better than the top animals in any given field; touch superior to a mole, eyes sharper than an eagle, nose more keen than an elephant; capable of tracking bullets and even lasers in flight if she needs to. (Though parrying True Lasers like her Master is a skill she's still yet to perfect!)
She even possesses a sort of automatic danger sense that tells her whenever she is in danger.
So long as she pays attention to it, she simply can't be snuck up on or caught off guard. Even if she weren't divinely bolstered Su would still have all manner of training to fall back on; The Martial Art of Dag Twa!
Having, at this point, trained under hundreds of masters over thousands of years; Su has learned to multiply her already truly immense power several times over!
Capable of performing terrifying power blows, she can and will regularly slap her foes out of existence; sometimes throwing enemies into walls and letting them splatter like water balloons!
Just as capable of even stronger Breaking Blows; Su can backhand the caps off of mountains with a single swing and her jaws, tempered against the flesh of gods, can bite divine weaponry in half and even catch futuristic monomolecular blades with a well placed snap of her teeth! This doesn't even begin to cover how she can use her own willpower to block strong attacks before they reach her, scream boulders into nonexistence with her Kiai and completely control the function of her body; down to her individual veins and muscle fibers!
If she wants she may fall into a deathlike state that even magical diagnosis cannot determine the truth of; wherein she uses no oxygen or energy at all and appears completely deceased.
Alternatively she may focus on a wound and heal it consciously, enhancing her already impressive regeneration by a factor of sixty. While it pales in comparison to most of her other abilities, Su can bend in almost any direction and can squeeze through almost any opening big enough to fit her head.
She possesses perfect balance and can capably walk on any surface that is not perfectly vertical.
She can swim underwater as well as she can move on land, capable of holding her breath for hours. Perhaps most potent in her arsenal is The Mighty Roar Kiai!
Focusing her will into a single shout made solid, Su can yell with the force of an atom bomb; not merely a deafening cry but a scoff that can cascually scream boulders to dust at a moment's notice.
If given a moment to plant her feet and take a proper breath, Su can literally shout down mountains and part seas with a scream sometimes up to sixteen seconds long; pumping out the force of several hiroshima bombs with every tick of the clock hand! Finally, She's Fast...
Not Just "Pretty Fast" But A Full Blown Speedster!
At her best and on her best days, Su is capable of moving faster than the human eye can track; being thrown into mountains only to tackle the offender from the opposite direction.
When she hits her enemies at full speed she can literally pass through them without getting wet; leaving a splattered mess behind her where her opponent once was.
Effortlessly, Su can pinball her way through cramped hallways; bouncing off walls and ceilings with pinpoint precision often faster than the untrained eye can track! While the real limit to her abilities is unknown, just as with all of The Guardians Of Peace, Su is considered one of the more "Reserved" of the guardians and it is assumed that she possesses far more secrets than she lets on.
For all anyone knows, she might have picked up telekinesis or self duplication in her many conquests...!
... And at least two of the her fellow guardians claim that she can dodge speed of light attacks with casual ease.
The Master Insists That She Has Never Truly Applied Herself...

Apparel & Accessories
When Su is feeling particularly normal and decides to wear anything at all her wardrobe is primarily based in comfort and practicality.
Sports bras and loose shirts with pajama pants or shorts tend to be her standard if she being absolutely MADE to dress properly.
Whatever she wears it needs to keep her tits out of the way and give her ample opportunity to move, bend, stretch and flex properly! However, when training Su doesn't mind throwing on classical gi or workout gear to get down and dirty; though seldom do these articles last through her rigorous workouts. When Su absolutely needs performance appropriate clothing The Monastery Of Eternity has a special machine that literally sprays a skintight body glove over her body; a nanotechnology suit that can turn fists, blades and even bullets!
More like a second skin, the body glove changes color as necessary to fit Su's surroundings and preserve a sense of stealth while also granting her an outfit that gives her support but provides zero restriction. Regardless of what she ends up wearing, Su almost always keeps her hair in a knee length, central braid that hangs freely with small blades woven into the end.
While she does not necessarily have conscious control of her hair like her Master she is able to whip her braid around at breakneck speed; slicing and stabbing out with surprising precision and power.
Though this doesn't so much act as a third limb, it certainly acts as a proficient striking weapon in a standoff with equal foes!

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Su's history is long and complicated and involves many other Primes!
Born to a loose band of wandering nomads in The Himalayas around 10,000 BCE, Su had what could be called a "Normal" primitive life until she was about eight years old.
Times were tough but she didn't desire anything more, as she had no idea there was anything more to desire than scarce plateau living and constant movement. However...
Just after her eighth Birthday, though Su had no concept of a calendar or birthday at the time, a man appeared on the horizon while her band was wandering through the plateau to find a new place to camp.
He told them to follow him and, if they did, they would know stillness, peace and would forget hunger.
And he took her hand and told her,
"Your Name Is Now Su.
We don't have time to remember new names.
You shall call us Master." Taking her from her parents half of the day, the stranger taught her Modern English, The Scientific Method, Cooking, Computers and... Martial Arts!
One day later the Mountain Guide brought another band to teach them of modern ways and, mere days later... her own parents attacked the stranger... and the stranger humiliated them...
Humbled them... without hurting them!
Su realized, in that moment... that she was not destined to be a human... she was destined to be so much more. Soon thereafter The Stranger killed the local Tiger Goddess... and preserved her long enough that they could consume her flesh and take her power.
Eventually, unaccustomed to the thin air of the Tibetan Plateau, Her Master would fall into a coma.
For just under two weeks she struggled to maintain control... to come up with fanciful stories of her Master's meditations and hunting missions as excuses why they weren't there...
Eventually it was too much for an eight year old girl from pre-society...
She needed help.
She needed a stronger mind! Her Master had told her at one point that the BRAIN did all the thinking... that it was the seat of all knowledge!
The Tiger Goddess' Brain still sat in the fridge... clumsily but functionally preserved...
And so, only a child, Su consumed the brain of a Goddess... and was cursed to forever fight The Cat Mind... the remaining vestige of the Tiger Goddess' mental presence in the world. When her master awoke thirteen days after falling... Su had spiraled down into a neurotic mess...
There was nothing her Master could do other than try to continue on... and raise her as their own.
It was, for many years... a struggle to even get her to fight The Cat Mind... to accept the value of humanity.
She always had another voice in her ear, always telling her how weak and useless humanity was...
... How pitiful and counterproductive empathy and cooperation was. Eventually her Master accepted that travel would be needed!
Su needed to accept that the world was much bigger than her...
That if she wanted to be successful... cooperation was needed more than strength...
And so she was sent off to other Primes... to learn under them... to be humbled by them!
By the time she was twenty years old she'd been all over the world; learned magic, combat, computer engineering and medical science!
While still always a bit gruff and self absorbed, Su had become a fine young woman; if admittedly an extremely short and quick to anger one... Life went by... Su grew older, more mature... dominating the primitives of her timeline as she did so...
She worked with other Primes and their students to try to understand The Shift... to involve herself more with anyone who happened to experience it...
Until she DID experience it!
Until She became the FIRST native to experience the Shift itself!
... As A Fiat...
As a simple servant who understood the process of The Shift well enough to help other Primes not die right off the bat in their own new worlds!
And through this process she spent centuries teaching new people how to master their own powers... to become primes that could function in this new, wild ShiftVerse. Until her turn FINALLY came... Until she found herself with her own compound... as a Prime herself!
And in that world she stayed four centuries, reconnecting with her Master and founding a nation that would survive the test of time!
... Until, once again... The Shift took her from all that...
... And Again...
And Again! Eventually, popping in and out of so many worlds while retaining most or even all of her abilities from each passing incarnation drove her to believe that The Shift was any individual Prime's most necessary pleasure... to revel in the fact that the ONLY thing that stays the same from Shift To Shift are the primes themselves... otherwise the entire world eventually falls away and is left behind! And so... having tasted the flesh of the gods before... several times, in fact... Su decided that she would gain enough power to dominate any world upon which she landed!
... That she would be able to DENY The Shift if she so desired... UNTIL She So Desired!
Why did she, an entity literally made to break the rules, need to follow The Shift's Rules? And so world after world fell to her self interest.
To her whims...
To Her Desires! She devoured deities (If only a few) and slew others for parts to fuel her meteoric rise to power.
She founded entire societies built upon the foundation of studying The Shift, The Divine, The Pandimensions and their rules... To Overthrowing The Cosmic Authority Of Things...
And each time she was yanked away from her path she remembered every bit of it... and she started again with more understanding of how to speed through the process. Eventually she was given a warning... a simple note...
'This Is Your Last Chance...' She knew that she needed to turn back... but The Cat Mind told her otherwise...
This, she heard in her hindbrain, was the prey trying to throw her off just as her jaws closed around its throat... just as she was about to cross the finish line! And so she took that final step over the edge...
And found herself in Ta Mando Now, summoned by The Enlightened of The Place Of Peace as The Guardian Of The Eastern Shores, Su is held within the Basin Of Eternity by a contract that she had little choice but to take.
For this cycle of The Guardians is Functionally Permanent... "An Easy Billion Years" to serve penance for her crimes against The Pandimensional Order Of Things...
... For Her Crimes Against The ShiftVerse Stuck on The Place Of Peace and overseen by those who understand her goals and desires for the Pandimensions ALL too well, Su has resigned to serve out her time maintaining more basic self interests while she helps build The Place Of Peace into a proper, modern society. However...
One man... Jonathan Mondragon: The Maiden Of Health... has told her that he will not let this imprisonment stand.
He has sworn that each and every one of them WILL be freed... and he will free them! And so Su waits... continuing to intermittently train Jonathan's first wife and fellow Salusar Lerato while Jonathan Mondragon works to bring order to Soterri; occasionally visiting The Place Of Peace via an ancient teleportation device called The Circle Of The World. And even as she waits... dark powers stir on the horizon beyond the boundaries of even her supernatural perception...

Education
Dr. Su Kaolla Rose Gray may have some of the best legitimate credentials in Ta Mando; in that her academic achievements from all previous shifts DID arrive with her upon her summoning to The Place Of Peace!
Having received her PhD in Wilderness Medicine from Mile Tree University in The Collective Of Independent Species, gotten her PhD in Astrophysics from The West Coast Empire and earned a third PhD in Psychedelic Studies from Z'Mungi Capital Academy; Su has more than earned the right to be called "Doctor" in any setting, medical or philosophical!
She also holds several honorary degrees in other fields such as Agri-Sciences, Ecology and Civil Engineering as well as having pioneered many surgical methods herself while Training Under the Hegemony Of Indo-European Peoples' as a musculo-skeletal surgeon and in the Enlightened South American Civil Theocracy as an OBGYN! And this is from only ONE Shift!
In actuality, Su has lived many lives and died many deaths on many worlds throughout many different universes!
She, more than most other primes, has seen the dawn of society and the fall of it!
She has learned from cross-dimensional teachers who have mastered skills that humanity has not yet conceived of.
She has been trained by masters of magic, champions of martial prowess and divine beings whose very presence would physically blast out the eyes of those who looked upon them! Much of this information is sort of lost to the aether at this point, as Su has been through so many Shifts and So Many Experiences that they've started to blur together and become difficult to recall individually.
However, the academic knowledge remains and, still steeped in a life of research and experimentation; Su never stops learning, never stops expecting more information, never tires of cycling through her next teacher! What's more, Su's life has been one of harsh physical training under her Master.
When she is not researching or scheming on her next divine meal she is assuredly training; often with instructors who, while they cannot match her raw abilities, CAN teach her maneuvers and techniques she might not know! When she was freshly adopted by her Master, Su learned that Knowledge Is Power...
So she sought ALL knowledge...
For ALL Power!
Having received her PhD in Wilderness Medicine from Mile Tree University in The Collective Of Independent Species, gotten her PhD in Astrophysics from The West Coast Empire and earned a third PhD in Psychedelic Studies from Z'Mungi Capital Academy; Su has more than earned the right to be called "Doctor" in any setting, medical or philosophical!
She also holds several honorary degrees in other fields such as Agri-Sciences, Ecology and Civil Engineering as well as having pioneered many surgical methods herself while Training Under the Hegemony Of Indo-European Peoples' as a musculo-skeletal surgeon and in the Enlightened South American Civil Theocracy as an OBGYN! And this is from only ONE Shift!
In actuality, Su has lived many lives and died many deaths on many worlds throughout many different universes!
She, more than most other primes, has seen the dawn of society and the fall of it!
She has learned from cross-dimensional teachers who have mastered skills that humanity has not yet conceived of.
She has been trained by masters of magic, champions of martial prowess and divine beings whose very presence would physically blast out the eyes of those who looked upon them!

Employment
While once a world known figure of academic prowess and martial might, The Master Of Death and Cosmic Knight Of Interstellar Neighborhood C193D17-Erba, Su has now been relegated to the role of simple teacher and martial arts instructor; maintaining the training and education of The Place Of Peace's Warrior Monks while The Master takes the most promising students from her class for personal conditioning.
The Job, simply put, pays her nothing but satisfaction and was her idea to pass the time for a short "One Billion Years?!" and ensure that The Place Of Peace is never again defended ONLY by heroes on shining white horses charging from the heavens to protect them.
The First Year In Ta Mando was bad enough...
All the guardians have agreed that, though there are no weapons, The Peacelanders must learn to defend themselves... And so Su trains most of them, making sure that they are learning the fundamentals of unarmed combat and how to disarm better armed foes.
While she is mostly doing it for the benefit of passing the time, Su appreciates her students and likes teaching.

Accomplishments & Achievements
While Su's life is full of many accomplishments, those she considers highest have earned her the primary title in Ta Mando of "The God Eater!"
Su considers True Deities to be the highest of prey, the finest of meats, the most delicious of dishes!
More than that, she's explicitly very choosy about her choices, having only consumed nine deities before and biding her time carefully in Ta Mando for her "Double Digit Dinner."
Shortly after she was adopted by The Master she had a taste of the local Tiger Goddess for the first time... and she LOVED it!
And when she could... she ate more! Since then she's grown methodical about her meals, so there is a list of those she has consumed; in order. (With Years/Worlds)

Morality & Philosophy
To call her "Basically Good" would be functionally describing Su well enough for a traditional conversation.
While she cares nothing for those that attack her, Su GENERALLY tries to help the little humans when it's convenient for her and will go out of her way to protect those less powerful if she feels such protection is needed.
If she sees someone with potential she will try to take them under her wing and train them; understanding well and properly that she was like them once as well.
As someone who has readily established herself as a teacher of the people, Su understands also that she exists to foster a new generation that, like her, might one day rise up and become primes as well.
While she'll seldom admit it, this fills her with purpose and pride and keeps her going from Shift To Shift without falling into apathy and disgust at the pandimensions At the same time, Su is mostly motivated by self determination and personal interest!
She believes in taking care of one's problems on one's own and she encourages others, like her, to take charge of their lives and get what they want for themselves!
She will, of course, help those directly in danger but it does not serve her to go on a great quest to find Random Village Girl #4's lost brother in the mountains. THOSE sort of quests MUST be undertaken by the claimant!
Su can help Random Village Girl #4 train to rescue her brother... in a surprisingly short amount of time, at that... but The Teacher will NEVER walk the path for The Student! And, of course, that comes down to her philosophy on knowledge.
Su believes that MOST knowledge should be dispersed more or less freely.
Knowledge is power and she desires ALL of the power... so she understands exactly how crippling it can be without it.
She hates the idea of the strong witholding power from the weak, of the haves and the have-nots...
... Of The Council Of The Pandimensions Lording Over The Primes...
Over All Of The Lower Dimensions... If nothing else, Su will work to overthrow the status quo and balance of power in any situation toward the roots of society; the greatest number.
Having personally slain many a dictator, she will gladly overthrow entire empires just to give the people access to schools, libraries, universities and public water supply.
She will encourage them to take charge, to fight for their right to knowledge and power, to cast away their chains and become their own representatives! JUST while being sure that all remember who did it for them!

Taboos
While she has particular exceptions to this, Su generally insists upon only eating animal form deities.
She has no desire to eat "People."
In Her Words, "I Don't Like The Idea Of Eating Something That Looks Too Much Like Me..." However, for the right price and on the right day, experiencing the right hunger pangs she would certainly sink her fangs into other types of deities!

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Su is motivated by a dangerous combination of personal desire and fractious but definite loyalties.
Her inherently catlike nature means that Su is often easily distracted by her own whims!
Her most regular and stable goals almost all specifically involve her pleasing herself in some way and, when she cannot find a necessary and tangible benefit to doing something, she will probably refuse to take part. That being said, Su is just as loyal as she is frivolous and NEVER goes back on her word; motivated to do the right thing by people as was beaten into her by her Master in her youth.
Valuing kept promises and good work ethic, Su will regularly find herself driven by the option to help others succeed or improve.
Still, even by her own words, this ultimately ends up as her helping others create a world wherein she will be more comfortable anyway. Regardless, Su is most driven by what she can foreseeably accept benefits her.

Savvies & Ineptitudes
Despite her being "Basically Good" there is a major disconnect between Su and the needs and concerns of "Humans."
She seems, at times, entirely unable to understand the struggles of normal people and can be oblivious, insensitive or even callous around the problems of those she considers "Lesser People." Indeed, despite having all manner of credentials in speechcraft and teaching, Su is a horrible diplomat and has a hard time putting herself in the proverbial shoes of others; often misunderstanding the motivations of others and/or making people uncomfortable with her direct, sometimes aggressively flirtatious nature.
Despite the fact that The Master worked very hard to teach her TRUE modern compassion, she never quite grasped it, coming from such a primitive background.

Virtues & Personality perks
Having come from a wandering band of nomads and having built herself up essentially from nothing, Su strongly believes in Self Determination, the benefit of training and the capacity for all to improve themselves no matter the circumstances!
If for only someone to show them the way, anyone may make more of themselves and build a new life for themselves where they can thrive and do good for the world at large! Suitably, Su is usually interested in helping those that she thinks will actually improve from it!
While often a rough sort of individual who may seem a bit callous, she is loath to turn people down on a chance to make their own lives better with their own two hands... and believes that nearly all people who DO get a hand in the world would do better FOR the cosmos; just as she feels she has.

Vices & Personality flaws
From her obsession with devouring deities to her general contempt for "Humans," Su has a pool of personal flaws just as deep and diverse as her strengths!
Having started her entire life outside of mainstream humanity by eating the brain of a tiger goddess, she has always had to compete with "The Cat Mind;" the vestiges of that first deity she consumed the mind of.
While The Master was able to simply cull the remnant personality of the goddess with sheer force of will, Su was young and uninitiated; the personality of The Mountain Tigress a permanent companion from world to world... a distraction the likes of which would drive her at times to the very edge of her mental limits.
Over several dozen centuries, however, she has mostly gotten The Cat Mind under her control.
While it exists and she must share her mindspace with it... she has long since made it into her pet.
Still, her very personality has been shaped by it and controlling it so that it does not control her has deeply changed her... forcing her at times to become more monster than human and imparting her with memories and experiences she never desired to have. From a time before written law and a culture barely said to even exist, Su had little in the way of societal norms to follow growing up except for what The Master taught her; generally what was germane to living life and/or strictly practical academia.
There was no need for job qualifications, safety regulations, HR Mediations, PR Failure Mitigations and plenty of need for pharmaceutical medications!
The idea of privacy and personal space was not a concept her culture had much practice with and the idea of... biological activities being private, inappropriate affairs was completely alien.
So Su, while growing to appreciate the values of indoor plumbing, modern cuisine, firearms, martial arts, electronics and reading... did not precisely pick up on all that stuff about patience or cultural norms or sexual harrassment...
Suffice to say the gal is HANDSY!
She unashamedly flirts with anyone she finds attractive regardless of their public marital status, casually gropes men and women alike whenever given the opportunity and regularly reduces people she finds attractive to sexual objects for her own pleasure.
While not actually mean spirited, Su has seldom shown remorse over her poor behavior in public... at least with the normal people she interacts with; seeming incapable of understanding why her perverse actions are wrong in almost any context. (With Exception) While she understands that Humans and other Normals are squishy, Su doesn't really seem to understand how easy it is to wear them out or drive them to their breaking points; mental or physical.
While seen by some as the best martial artist in The Place Of Peace and applauded for her near constant training, she's also regarded as the most heartless of tutors and the destroyer of mentally unready students.
She has "little time for booboos or owies" and reguarly tells her students to give up martial arts and leave or casually injures normal people and then ridicules them for needing medical help.
Pain and injury have become so foreign to her, along with mainstream humanity, that she has a hard time understanding them or having any empathy toward those who experience them.
What's worse, Su's general contempt for Normals fuels her dismissive personality; perhaps never believing the little people really need what they ask for... or perhaps believing that they will only become weaker if she gives them everything...
She teaches the Normals only so that they might stop being so pathetic to look upon... so desperate and weak... as she once was.
For what she was, to her, was a pathetic and helpless little creature that barely deserved to live.
And she thinks the same of all Normals.
She Is No Longer Human...
And Never Again Does She Want To Be... Nobody Ever Should.

Personality Quirks
Su, when she isn't talking or focusing on something, is almost always whistling some sort of tune; such that she doesn't even seem to notice most of the time.
She, of course, picked this up from The Master; who similarly whistles everywhere they go.
At the very least, Su is incredibly practiced in whistling and can create all manner of pleasant AND unpleasant noises but generally keeps it to bird song and actually recognizable music... or sound effects.

Hygiene
Su is the sort who "Cleans Up Real Good" but otherwise tends to avoid taking care of herself extensively; often focusing on self improvement, study and work to the detriment of her hygiene and appearance.
At best she'll take a shower in any given day "If I Remember." However, when she DOES have a proper spa day, The Master Of Death goes all out and makes sure to give herself a proper treatment!
With a fondness for saunas, steamrooms and hot baths, Su likes to occasionally let her hair down and relax in lavish sanitation; going through a long and somewhat labor intensive cleaning ritual every week or so to evacuate, sweat, rinse, shampoo, condition, exfoliate, scrub, moisturize and otherwise go through the entire process of getting AS clean and relaxed as possible!

Social
Family Ties
It is a little known fact that "The Master" is Su's adoptive father and Martial Arts Master; the very same person who took her in from the cold Tibetan Plateau and trained her to be a Prime without ever knowing it.
While she seldom addresses them as anything other than "Master," there have been times where she has openly addressed them as "Dad;" normally when embarrassed or rebellious.
While she seldom addresses them as anything other than "Master," there have been times where she has openly addressed them as "Dad;" normally when embarrassed or rebellious.
Religious Views
Su has made a name off of consuming the flesh of deities and preserving even the most delicate of divine corpses; ones that normally disappear back into the divine when the life flows out of them completely.
That being said, she doesn't take the idea of Religion very seriously. Not only has she met and defeated plenty of deities... she actively plans their consumption months or even years ahead of time!
And she seeks to continue this everlasting deicide game... because she wants to... because she knows that, as a Prime, she is greater than a deity.
She is an Apex predator and, ever since her first taste of power... has decided that Deities would be her most desired prey. That being said, Su is remarkably picky about what gods she eats; normally restricting herself to free, animal oriented deities.
To date she's never considered consuming legitimately humanoid deities.

Social Aptitude
Su EXUDES Confidence!
Some could even say that's all she is; concentrated, extroverted confidence in a tiny, curvy package fine tuned to kick your ass at the time and place of your choosing.
She will arrive there before you, tell you that you're late and then show you how you shouldn't have bothered to make the effort in the first place; you've already lost! Ever excited for comfort and company, Su is often the life of the party at social events; drinking, joking, singing, flirting, sometimes dancing and otherwise getting into the same trouble party animals generally do!
Anything to show the mortals how it's done!
Inclined toward betting, playing games of chance and skill alike, showing off her abilities and derailing shrewd politicking in motion; Su never forgets her advantages in mixed settings and always seeks to make herself look a bit better by way of culturally legitimized competition!

Hobbies & Pets
Su likes rabbit and fish farming!
Not only does it provide a ready source of easy food but watching the fish calms her and petting bouncing baby bunnies is a self evident method of relaxation for all!
Furthermore, as a genomics expert raised into animal care, she likes tracking the traits and lineages of her livestock; monitoring her flocks and schools for special peculiarities and quickly breeding them into stable mutations that last generations if not actively bred out! Su is also a bit of a conspiracy theorist, in a sense!
While she doesn't humor outright fantasies, she has a personal Demesnes with a wall literally covered in thumbtacks and string, pictures and drawings, little investigatory notes and post-its all over!
In having a vested interest in hunting down and eating certain GODS, Su has made a precise and extensive system tracking various divine figures all over the world so as to decide who to bite down on, who to make a friend and who to avoid!
SOME may consider it an obsession but she hardly ever seems to put much work into "the pin-board" these days; more busy with other things.

Speech
Su speaks with a traditional Pacific Northwest American Accent, having been taught English as a child by someone from that region; clearly enunciating her vowels and consonants with some obvious words being casually shortened like bein, havin, doin and runnin alongside mainstream west coast ebonics and no small degree of regular conversational swearing.
Naturally possessing a husky, feminine voice, she's otherwise able to perfectly mimic almost any noise she hears and so can set up impromptu impressions if she so desires. (And generally loves to mockingly mimic people)
Taught to sing classical opera at some point in her lengthy education, Su is able to confidently hit glass shattering high notes before dropping all the way to deep bass tones and anywhere in between at a moment's notice, though HATES to sing unless there is good reason for it.
Relationships
Wealth & Financial state
Su is basically destitute, with exception to her own little plot of land on The Place Of Peace where she keeps her personal Demesnes.
Her position being a public one; she is fed regularly, clothed, washed, sheltered and even given a degree of spare time but she is NOT given anything in the way of real wealth... there would be nothing to spend it on anyway. If Su were to somehow find herself freed from her contract to The Enlightened and The Place Of Peace she would ultimately have nothing but the clothes on her back and whatever tools and goods she could find and carry.
