The Judge you know

You probably know someone with this star.

Lian Zhen transforms into Restraint, ruling rank and rules. A friend with a strong Lian Zhen has their own set of standards. What they agree to, they deliver in full, and they notice when someone is ten minutes late.

Strong principles, strong feelings, and real presence.
