Facecast

A-Yao is argona's Meng Yao as a young child. Son of Meng Shi.

History

Meng Yao is born February 20th in a Yunping brothel. His mother raises him with love and care, doing her best to shelter him from the unpleasant environment. She teaches him manners that, for now, are necessary for his survival, and one day will serve him well as a young master of the Jin Sect. Meng Shi imparts onto him her belief that one day Jin Guangshan will come for them and buy her freedom from the brothel, elevating Meng Yao as his son. This never happens. In the mean time, Meng Shi devotes most of her time and money attempting to educating her son the way a cultivator is supposed to be educated. 

A-Yao learns reading, writing, etiquette, and some approximation of meditation. He learns to be polite to everyone he meets. He learns to be afraid of everyone he meets. His memory is impeccable even as a young child, and he learns things very quickly.

Personality

[He's not a sociopath yet, hooray!]

Appearances

let the children come to me - in which multiple babies are given much better childhoods than they receive in canon. A-Yao (age 3) and his mother are rescues from the brothel and A-Yao is given a much more healthy and normative middle childhood than usual. [Wiki]
