I like Lia's character quite a lot. You're doing a lot with her that we haven't seen elsewhere in Expanded Canon, and doing it in a way that feels compelling and fully rounded rather than gimmicky--no mean feat, indeed. I love some of the little touches, like the double use of the "No" character.

I notice you use Kamigawa cards as touchstones... is she from Kamigawa?

I hadn't intended it to be Kamigawa itself, but of planes for which there are cards, it would be the closest, hence using Kamigawa as the touchstone. She's more Chinese than Japanese inspired, frankly, though wen dealing with the multiverse it's not so easy to say, since it's not really anywhere, just guided/inspired by perceptions. (See: Krakens in Theros).

Makes sense.

Would we had an army of artists to do illustrations more accurate to the setting for us... :P Maybe someday.

I haven't really done more than glance at her so far, but I like what I've seen.
We could use more characters whose origins lay somewhere other than traditional western fantasy.

I liked Lia in her stories, and the dossier just helps to tie it all together. Yea.

Same. I'll be interested to see where she goes, and who she meets.
