Bio[]

Phan Thi Minh's father came to Seoul from Cochinchina to use his diplomatic savvy in dealing with foreign business interests. Once grown, Minh proved to be just as adept in business. She reordered her name in the style of Westerners and took a job in Tokyo as a secretary to an importer of strange antiquities. More than just an employer, Mr.Thomas was Minh's friend, but now he has been murdered. Armed with only the strange text Mr. Thomas left for her and her own keen mind, Minh has vowed to find out why.

Rulings, clarifications, and reminders[]

Minh’s action ability allows her to gain a travel ticket of her choice, even if her space is not connected to another space by the appropriate path. Furthermore, Minh can use her action ability even if she is not on a City space.^[1]
The travel ticket Minh gains from her active ability can be different from the travel ticket she allows another investigator to gain.^[2]

Team Role[]

Minh is very useful as an "escort", providing free tickets to an ally and boosting the skills of all investigators at her location. Her skill bonuses as well as well rounded stats makes her fairly capable herself as well.
