Blue Carp Cheng: River pirate captain who once spoke quite rudely about the piracy of the Southern Dragon Clan. Li took violent offense to this, but Blue Carp actually held his own. Li considers the matter settled. They've since met under more agreeable terms whenever she is in Cheng's neck of the woods. Wolf Eyed Yue: A wild girl from a deep bamboo forest, where she was supposedly raised by beasts. They met when they helped each other out of a misunderstanding with a noble and a brigade of guardsmen, and have been getting into and out of scrapes since. Grandmother Deepwater: Li's witchcraft is not entirely self taught. Grandmother Deepwater found her in the middle of her growth into who she is now, and helped give her a deeper understanding of her craft. Grandmother Deepwater probably isn't human, but she's so good at evading questions Li has long since given up asking.
