==Concept==
Zing was originally the mascot of the mobile rhythm game Zyon and was featured in the game as an original character created by aquatrax. Her VOCALOID version was born for music games.https://twitter.com/Zyon_RhythmGame/status/847999453680123904
According to her Zyon biography, she is an emotional AI program that was built by the human race. From time to time, she complained about her boredom in the universe. She accidentally found the way of connecting with her lost human emotions and memories through the ZYON spacecraft and became much more positive afterwards.
===Etymology===
According to her light novel hosted on Zyon, her name was described to be an onomatopoeia as it is “some kind of sound”.http://www.vocaloidnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/12187790_796028473840060_6879623543853488602_n.jpg
===Appearance===
Zing was known to wear different outfits throughout her appearances in the aquatrax-branded games. In all outfits, she is portrayed with long light brown hair that gradates to light blue with at least one ponytail tied with a pink ribbon. She is often seen in an outfit with cybernetic themes. Her color scheme is mostly pink, white, and brown.
There was no confirmation of what would have been her VOCALOID design. Only a preview featuring one of her existing outfits was used in the initial announcement.
==Marketing==
Zing is the mascot and one of the available character skins of the Zyon rhythm game produced by aquatrax. She is usually the spokesperson of their official social media accounts.
LINE stickers were created for Zing and fellow Zyon original character, Memu, as a gift for reaching 100,000 downloads for the game on Google Play.https://www.facebook.com/aquatraxzyon/photos/a.775622219214019.1073741828.745691538873754/894576980651875/
Zing later appears in "Yīn Líng INVAXION", another rhythm game developed by aquatrax.https://store.steampowered.com/app/921630/_INVAXION/ After Zyon's closure due to its server service provider's bankruptcy in February 2020, her only game appearance since then was in "Yīn Líng INVAXION".https://twitter.com/Zyon_RhythmGame/status/1232868872249737216
