Tan Qia works for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, overseeing the supply of food and other day-to-day goods within the Imperial Capital. She has worked tirelessly for over three decades to ensure the smooth running of the bounteous and beautiful city at the heart of the Empire. Generally seen as a humourless bureaucrat, she is nonetheless commendably dedicated to her job, and surprisingly effective at undermining anyone she sees as a bad influence on the smooth running of the city (and by extension, the Empire itself).
