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 listed all of the living Celestials.

Conversely, Xian might have been a female Celestial dragon sired by "Grandfather", but her subsequent disappearance would be difficult to explain. According to Qian's list, she herself and Lung Tien Lien were the only two female Celestials left. 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 daughter.

The family trees in the "Grandfather" article present several possible genealogies, depending on how "Xian" is identified.
