Jingliu Backstory and Honkai lore
Jingliu was a sword master, Sword Champion of the Xianzhou Cangcheng Flagship, and mentor to Jing Yuan. She was part of the legendary High-Cloud Quintet, which was made up of five members from different Xianzhou ships, including Jingliu, Jing Yuan, Dan Feng, Baiheng, and Yingxing.
“One of the legendary heroes making up the High-Cloud Quintet, and bestowed with the title "Transcendent Flash." Having ascended beyond mortal concepts of victory, she chose to walk a different path to obtain the power capable of slaying gods. Thereafter, one Sword Champion of the Luofu was removed from the Xianzhou's records, and one traitor erased from the annuals was added.”
The High-Cloud Quintet were formidable in they heyday, and had many triumphs, including defeating the Borisin at Thalassa, and destroying the alliance between the Hoyuhnhnms and the Wingweavers. But the Quintet would eventually fall apart, after Jingliu was afflicted by Mara, the "Long-Life Curse," and went on a rampage. This continued until she was defeated by her student Jing Yuan.
Following this, she left Xianzhou, and the title of Sword Champion remained vacant since this incident.
