Done for the Main Contest on TLKfaa awhile back. we had to pick a historical person and match them to a TLK character.
Empress Wu was the only Empress in the feudal dynasties (which lasted 4,000 years) She gave more rights to women, asked scholars to write biographies of famous women, created part of the language (which after her death was no longer used), replaced Daoism with Buddhism and invited scholars from around the world to China. That said, like any old ruler, she was horribly ruthless and had alot of people put to death. She started off as a concubine and rose in power to become empress.
sound a little like some other female we know? *looks at Zira*
