Zhinü

HER ERA IS SET TO HER FATHER'S, mythic-prehistory, rather than the mythic era her story would otherwise take: the registry's era ordering puts mythic BEFORE mythic-prehistory, so authoring her in mythic would have made a daughter older than her father and tripped the era-inversion check. Demigod is the computed tier, a deity father and an unnamed co-parent averaged.
