Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop, when a 女 woman customer who 嫌 dislikes her suddenly comes in. The 女 woman picks up a second-hand 兼 leaf blower and blows air in Xena's face to show her 嫌 dislike. Xena similarly 嫌 dislikes this behavior, and takes out her sword and cuts the 兼 leaf blower in half.
