Description
A genderbent character from a popular Chinese novel

Xuanzang is a central character in the novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en . The character is based on the historical Buddhist monk Xuanzang .

In the novel, Xuanzang is a Chinese Buddhist monk who had renounced his family to join the Sangha from childhood. He is actually a reincarnation of Golden Cicada (simplified Chinese: 金蝉子; traditional Chinese: 金蟬子; pinyin:Jīn Chánzǐ), a disciple of the Buddha . He is sent on a mission to Tianzhu (an ancient Chinese name for India) to fetch a set of Buddhist scriptures back to China for the purpose of spreading Buddhism in his native land. He becomes sworn brothers with Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty , and the emperor sees him off from the capital Chang'an and orders two escorts to accompany him.
Xuanzang is helpless in defending himself and his two escorts are killed during his first encounter with demons after his departure from Chang'an. Thebodhisattva Avalokiteśvara (Guanyin ) helps Xuanzang find three powerful supernatural beings - Sun Wukong , Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing - to aid and protect him on his journey. The three become Xuanzang's disciples and will receive enlightenment and redemption for their past sins once the pilgrimage is complete. Along the journey, Xuanzang is constantly terrorised by monsters and demons because of a legend which says that one can attain immortality by consuming his flesh because he is a reincarnation of a holy being.
(in our version he is converted to she )

(I think we know why most of the demons that she encountered in her journeys wanted to "devour" her )

A series of art collaborations of the 4 main characters from the novel with

Lines by me and the colored versions will be up soon by the wickedly awesome !
