Tough! But, I think Renxiang already did the things most folks are talking about. She rallied the Clans, organized a defense, delegated tasks. She did the admin work. NOW she has to show that she isn't just an administrator, she's a worthy heir to REVOLUTION-as-a-woman.
Renxiang needs to stand out, and prove herself in battle given the Imperial mindset. This is a perfect chance.
Everyone is giving their all. She needs to do the same. And in a warrior culture, that means being a leader willing to sacrifice her safety to protect her subordinates.
I *am* very worried what the Polars think of all this, but hopefully the Emissaries and the Crows come out to help with the defense of the civilians
[X] …And Cai Renxiang rose into the sky, and let loose with her Mothers Light, her light. In this nightmares of stagnancy she could feel her opposite. They would come to snuff her out, in exclusion of all else, relieving the other parties involved at cost to herself.
