Adept Universe Bible: Qiuniu

Qiuniu: guardian dragon. Aka one of the nine. Territory: South America. Possibly involved with Haoxin (see hints in Dowser 6 and Dowser 8). Dark caramel skin. High cheekbones. Deep brown eyes, also referred to as ‘melted milk chocolate’ (Dowser 5). Ridiculously gorgeous. Brazilian accent. The most powerful healer in the world. Known for administering that healing via a searingly hot kiss. Also, a poet and musician. “Qiuniu always somehow carried music with him wherever he went. I never knew the tune, but I could hear hints of it” (Dowser 4). Skilled at warding technology against magic. He has been a guardian for 100+ years, second youngest. According to Jade, his magic tastes like roasted coffee and Brazilian chocolate.

Resides in the Nexus. But maintains a residence in Peru, along with a silver Mercedes SUV. Nexus door: gold-carved handle, intricately carved bloodwood.

Qiuniu first appeared in Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic (Dowser 1), then again in Dowser 3, 4, 5, and 6, plus Dowser 8 and 9.

Qiuniu. Dragon. The Guardian of South America. Playful and sexy, just don’t invade his territory or ask for a commitment. Has brought Jade (and Kandy with some help from her pack) back from the brink of death on more than one occasion. Sketch by Memo.
