	Ping Jin was born into an illustrious line of Taishanese Bone Shadows which has inhabited Chinatown since the city's inception and which follows the tenets of the Lodge of the Endless Moon. Ping was brought up with full knowledge of his lineage and the precepts of his clan. His family was there throughout his First Change when he was 19 and he was immediately apprenticed to an ancient Elodath who taught him how to be a diplomat to the spirit world. He was married a year later to a cousin so that he might continue the line. His wife, Ru, bore him a son the next year and the elders of the clan were pleased. However, Ping had a secret, a part of himself which he carefully hid except when he snuck out of their territory to visit the clubs in Folsom or the Castro. By the time the Castro War broke, his marriage was at an end. In defiance of his pack, he divorced him wife and joined the war party being gathered by the Phelans and the Mission pack. While he wasn't a warrior, his knowledge of spirits and his contacts within the spirit world served well. After the War (which resulted in the death of his father), he joined the new Castro pack and stepped into his new life, taking the name and female persona Penny. He has been an invaluable member of the pack, though they generally do not agree with the level of respect and deference he shows spirits who perform their functions. They are able to agree with the fury he shows those who transgress. Over the last seventeen years, he has cultivated the spirit world extensively. Though it isn't quite as tame as Chinatown's Hisil, it is much more so than the surrounding territories. The local spirits inform him of suspicious behavior and are rewarded with the pack's protection, though there are still deep pockets of chaotic spiritscape to root out and the order is always being whiddled away by the Beshilu.

She doesn't have a clear picture yet of how Lee handles the spirits in her domain, so is reserving judgment for the time being, but she tends to like her and can't deny that Gay Pride approves. Also, she was very impressed that Lee tanked her military career to marry her lover and feels a bond with her over it (as well as owing her for introducing her to her husband).

	==Background==		==Background==
	Ping Jin was born into an illustrious line of Taishanese Bone Shadows which has inhabited Chinatown since the cityâ€™s inception and which follows the tenets of the Lodge of the Endless Moon. Ping was brought up with full knowledge of his lineage and the precepts of his clan. His family was there throughout his First Change when he was 19 and he was immediately apprenticed to an ancient Elodath who taught him how to be a diplomat to the spirit world. He was married a year later to a cousin so that he might continue the line. His wife, Ru, bore him a son the next year and the elders of the clan were pleased. However, Ping had a secret, a part of himself which he carefully hid except when he snuck out of their territory to visit the clubs in Folsom or the Castro. By the time the Castro War broke, his marriage was at an end. In defiance of his pack, he divorced him wife and joined the war party being gathered by the Phelans and the Mission pack. While he wasnâ€™t a warrior, his knowledge of spirits and his contacts within the spirit world served well. After the War (which resulted in the death of his father), he joined the new Castro pack and stepped into his new life, taking the name and female persona Penny. He has been an invaluable member of the pack, though they generally do not agree with the level of respect and deference he shows spirits who perform their functions. They are able to agree with the fury he shows those who transgress. Over the last seventeen years, he has cultivated the spirit world extensively. Though it isnâ€™t quite as tame as Chinatownâ€™s Hisil, it is much more so than the surrounding territories. The local spirits inform him of suspicious behavior and are rewarded with the packâ€™s protection, though there are still deep pockets of chaotic spiritscape to root out and the order is always being whiddled away by the Beshilu.
