Focus on: Dong Nan
Dong Nan is a Crow Tribe Yashou who can't keep up with the flock and thus spends most of her time at the graveyard, where she meets Guo Changcheng. She dies young, before Ya Qing can arrive at her side.
1. Why do you think Dong Nan chose to spend her short life watching humans, instead of e.g. observing the Crow or other Yashou Tribes' mourning and funeral practices? What made her not want to even attempt to associate with her own people?
2. What was the weakness that made her unable to keep up with the flock and cut her life short? Something genetic? An illness? Would it have been treatable had she had access to proper healthcare? (Is this part of why Ya Qing is pushing for the revitalization of the Yashou?)
3. Can all Crow Tribe members/the leader sense when another one is dying, or was Ya Qing particularly close to Dong Nan and thus invested?
Fanworks
