Biography
In Throne of Jade, Lung Tien Qian said that she and Lung Tien Chu were "hatched of Xian".
Identity
"Xian" may have been the true name of the ancient Celestial dragon otherwise referred to as "Grandfather", since that was the only name omitted when Qian lists all of the living Celestials.
Conversely, Xian may have been a female Celestial dragon sired by "Grandfather", but her subsequent disappearance would be difficult to explain. Since Celestials did not fight in China, they would presumably live out their natural lifespans into old age, and there is no obvious reason why "Grandfather" would outlive his own children.
The family trees in the "Grandfather" article present several possible genealogies, depending on how "Xian" is identified.
