Fan Fan

Fan Fan (Fanny) is a character role-played by fanfan.
==Overview==
Fan Fan, also known as Fanny, is known for her blend of politeness, kindness, unhinged behavior, and a touch of perversion. Her presence in the city brings a mix of charm and unpredictability, making her a memorable figure. 
== Description ==
Fan Fan was born in China. She moved to Nebraska at a young age before resettling in Los Santos. She arrived in the city with the name Emily Fan, but decided to legally change her name in an effort to reconnect with her roots after being denied entry into China due to seeming "too American." - and so her name was changed from 'Emily Fan' to 'Fan Fan', with 'Fanny' being the nickname that she preferably goes by. She is a member and founder of The Besties Gang, in which she is usually seen concocting new money-generating business schemes (and scams) with co-founders Ming and 4head. 
==Personality==
*So Nice: Fanny is surprisingly polite and kind when interacting with everyday people in the city.
*Unhinged: Beneath the surface of her polite nature, Fanny has been known to catch those around her off-guard by sharing way too much information, or making comments others might consider perverted, often speaking in sexual innuendo when presented with openings from those around her. In addition to this, Fanny has a low threshold of rage that, when crossed, results in expletive-heavy tirades and sometimes outright violence.
*Fiercely Loyal: While not technically a "clingy girlfriend," Fanny has perfected the art of acting like one and essentially fuses herself at the hip to a core group of people—Ming, 4head, and Dez—who she defends and follows without thought.
*Strict Perfectionist: Due in part to her cultural upbringing (and the idea that anything that isn't an A = failing to her family), Fanny is highly competitive and always striving to improve herself in the eyes of those she cares about most. She is currently working to bring her trust points with 4head up to 100 after he informed her that he trusts her 96%.
*Gangster In The Making: Despite being dubbed the unofficial leader of her gang by 4head's brother Dickhead, Fanny is the most inexperienced member and eager to learn from the likes of her besties, as well as seasoned criminals like Dex and JP, who teach her the intricacies of gang living, such as: lingo ("On hood, cuh!" which she has adapted into, "On neighborhood, cousin!"), physical combat, cop evasion techniques, and more.
*Desperate For Praise: One of Fanny's frequent habits is fishing for compliments from those around her and insisting on explicit, enthusiastic answers when what she receives is in any way lackluster. Common versions of this verbal fishing include: did you miss me, do you like my outfit, did I do good, are you guys proud of me?
*Tone Deaf: Prone to spontaneously breaking out into song, Fanny's vocals leave a lot to be desired and are characterized by pitchy sound, mumbled lyrics, and sometimes shrill howling. Joined by Dez, bestie car rides routinely involve impromptu sing-along sessions to hits like OutKast's "Ms. Jackson."
*Shotgun Pro: Fanny is widely known for engaging in games of shotgun wherever a car is involved, once famously texting Ming "shotgun!" seconds before he called it himself. She has bested hard-ass criminals like Marty and Turk in games of shotgun, both of whom gave up the passenger seat when her stubborn nature and slick talk eventually wore them down. 
** 4head: "Motherfucker calling shotgun while we're getting stabbed!"
*Highly Impressionable: One of Fanny's fatal flaws is how easily influenced she is by those around her. Given to asking questions, Fanny instantly adjusts her behavior according to the advice of others, sometimes to her own detriment. Examples of this include spitting on poor people (at the instruction of Ray) and mugging locals without consideration for police response (resulting in a traffic stop mid-sanitation run).
==Background==
New to the city, she randomly bumped into Ming Jingtai while looking for someone to teach her how to drive. This led to her meeting 4Head, and the formation of 'The Besties', and their catchphrase, “Slayyy.” With the addition of Dickhead, and Dez, they formed a crew. The new crew had not yet decided on a name for themselves when they picked a nickname for Fan Fan—Fanny—and also dubbed her leader of the crew. Dickhead has suggested they call themselves the 'Opiate Trafficking Krew' (OTK for short), while Fanny has suggested 'Gooner Gang' and later 'Ming Girls' (inspired by Mean Girls) before deciding, "Actually, no, I’ll just be a Ming girl—singular." Others have wondered if 'Hospital Gang' is more fitting, considering how often they visit. 
Fan Fan once masqueraded as a member of Maximilian Thoroughbred's campaign staff, even serving as his actual personal assistant and bodyguard, while attempting to scam campaign funds from him. 
Fanny is typically seen rolling around the city with her three counterparts: Ming Jingtai, Dezmond Wright, and Aubrey Webster (4head). From the early days of their partnership, Ming, Dez, and 4head assumed roles beyond mere accomplices; they became mentors, guiding Fanny through the intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and power dynamics that define life in Los Santos. As she continues to learn the criminal underworld of Los Santos, she is slowly being molded by those around to fine tune her skills in pressing others, standing on her business, committing robberies, and various other criminal activities. 
What sets Fanny apart is her fiercely protective nature, especially when it comes to her bestie Ming. She has been known to punch, stab, and threaten those who disrespect her and her friends. This protective nature is reciprocated by Ming, Dez, and 4Head, which can often be seen by their helpfulness and watchful behavior over the budding criminal. The four friends have built their friendship on trust and loyalty through experiencing the dangers of the city together. 
As she continues to forge new alliances, with individuals such as Raymond Romanov, Larry Knox, Bobby Brown, Ellie Yen, Jean Paul, and many more, she's learning the importance of establishing connections within the city. 
==Family==
Fanny has said that her father is Joshathan (Chinese name Xiao Yang), her mother is Miranda (Chinese name Xin Zhao), her grandfather is Bert, and her brother is Trav, but the truth of these claims is unconfirmed. Fanny's cousin Fing Fing has also appeared in the city but they have yet to meet with each other. 
===Adoptive Family===
Fanny found out that she is related to Nunu El Nene in a talk in front of Snr. Buns, realizing they were both adopted by Eugene. This prompted Fanny to say that she and Nunu are sisters and because they are adoptive sisters and had a flirty interaction, this makes them "scissor sisters."
After this discovery, they found out that they have another thing in common: they both have grievances with Raia Kaine. Even though the reasons for the hate are different, they agreed on a plan to kidnap and torture Raia to send her a message. Their plan was poorly executed, as both bonded with Raia on the drive to the "torture" location. They sang "Hey There Delilah" during the drive. Once there, they didn't know what to do or say, but Nunu decided to take off one of Raia's nails, which made Fanny violently throw up. This broke Nunu's confidence in what was happening, as once Raia passed out, because of the bleeding and stress, Fanny and Nunu fully panicked, at one point believing she had died. Fanny and Nunu ended up driving to the cemetery to dump Raia in an open grave and anonymously tipped off the cops to Raia's position, so that she could be rescued.
After all of this, Fanny and Nunu kept bonding, talking about their respective crushes on Ming and Jason, and can now be seen hanging out together.
==Conflicts==
====Exiling Hazel====
Since Fanny first came to the city the biggest thing 4head has taught her is that you have to back your people over everything, once close friend, Hazel Hravgreaves, who was apart of the besties, had been doing the direct opposite of that leading to Fanny (and Ming) not trusting him and wanting to kick him out of the group. Fanny had 4 reasons for wanting to kick Hazel:
Reason 1 - not 100% in with Besties
Reason 2 - friends with everyone in the city, wouldnt defend Fanny in a hypothetical fight with Kitty
Reason 3 - when Fanny got robbed by Gigi, Ming asked Hazel to help, but he drove off
Reason 4 - stealing Fanny's money run customers
Hazel had also been stealing Fannys business and when confronted, said he was “redirecting” them to her but not a single customer had been from him and the only that had is from when she caught him. 
On the block with 4head and Jack, Fanny officially kicked out Hazel from the besties, after Hazel called 4head wondering why he couldn’t get into the house. After confronting him he had nothing to say (which Fanny complained about later) other than asking for some of his money back, which 4head disagreed and said no to. 4head disagrees with how Fanny handled things as-well and wishes she went about it differently.
== Connections ==
===Bestie Gang===
=====Ming Jingtai —=====
“We could be [together]. You never know. He doesn’t know that we are yet.” — FannyFanny and Ming crossed paths during her first day in the city, when attempting to drive her manual rental car ended in failure. After lamenting her inability to so much as reverse, she asked a group of strangers on the sidewalk for help and Ming wordlessly agreed to teach her to drive. Within moments of meeting, Fanny had referred to Ming as a “handsome young fellow” and offered up her phone number, thus kickstarting their endless "will they, won't they?" flirtationship. Despite not retaining his name during their initial driving lesson, Fanny was able to visually identify Ming at the apartments afterwards by his classic beanie and goggles look and they became fast friends. 
Since then, Ming has become one of Fanny's best friends and closest mentors, accompanying her on Mosley's runs and teaching her how to drift in empty parking lots. From the start, Fanny has made no secret of her favoritism for Ming—sleeping over at his apartment and watching him like a hawk during his interactions with other girls—although she only recently admitted to having a crush on him with girl friends Nunu and Seven. In an effort to win his affections, Fanny treats Ming above and beyond the rest of her besties, presenting him with spontaneous gifts, picking out new clothes to impress him, and shrieking, "Ming!" whenever she thinks she's in danger and/or he leaves her sight. The threat of Ming heading to bed is enough to launch Fanny into full-blown meltdowns, and his instant trust of her continues to ruffle the feathers of long-time friends like 4head. 
While Ming has yet to explicitly confess his feelings to Fanny, he's made plenty of suggestive remarks about liking her: 
*He introduced his bed to AK as "the place where me and Fanny sleep."
*When prompted by Lovemore over whether Fanny is "his bae" shortly thereafter, Ming responded with a "yeah."
*On the subject of whether Ming likes women, he said, "I like women. Woman. Woman," while lying next to Fanny in the hospital.
*"Am I single? I might be, but, you know, I got my eyes on this one person."
*When Fanny asked for the last letter of Ming's crush's government name, he answered, "N."
*Similarly, when 4head referred to Fanny as "[Ming's] girlfriend" in front of the duo, neither denied it.
*This followed on the heels of an interaction with Bobby Brown, Chodie, and Zolo, where Zolo asked Ming if the girl he was with was his "shawty," and Ming told him it was.
Not one with lingo, Fanny proceeded to call Bobby up to inquire about the meanings of words like "shawty" and "boo thang": 
Zolo: [Fanny] a vibe, like, what she don’t understand? 
Bobby: When somebody’s your shawty, like that’s either like somebody that you just gon’ pull up to the homies with or like you finna bring her to Aruba, you know what I mean?
Zolo: Yeah, [Ming] claimin’ you like he ain’t claim nobody. 
Bobby: I wanna go where Drake goes, you know what I mean? I wanna go to the Caicos. You gotta differentiate if you like just a pull up with the homies, like, you know what I mean, like he got the arm over you, hand on the hips, like, you know what I mean?
Fanny: We do interlock arms!
Bobby: You gotta ask him if we would take you to Aruba or Barbados. If he will, then like you his boo shawty.
Following this phone call, Fanny asked if Ming would take her to Aruba or Barbados and he told her he would.
=====Aubrey "4head" Webster —=====
"We're just a group of broke people. Let's go to the ATM...."Fanny first met 4head when—shortly after Ming agreed to teach her to drive and she gave Ming her number—4head walked up to the car they were in to play wingman, chiming in with, "[Ming is] also very famous. He donates to charity and all that good stuff. He’s a good guy." Since that first interaction, 4head has rescinded his wingman card and now plays the part of sulky third-wheel, frequently accusing Fanny of changing Ming for the worse. One example of this occurred when Ming asked 4head to leave his cut of their sewer tour money with Fanny until he could make it to the bank himself; this led to a one-on-one argument between 4head and Fanny where he admitted that he doesn't trust her fully. She is now on a journey to prove her worth to him. 
Ming, 4head, and Fanny are a close group who embark on frequent business schemes together. This has included everything from robbing Gruppe 6 and Grime trucks to working various civ jobs, all the way to selling crypto scams to unsuspecting victims and offering paid tours of the Los Santos sewer system. Along with Ming, 4head has become a close mentor, helping to guide Fanny in her criminal education. He is by far the most rigorous in his teachings and doesn't spare Fanny's feelings when discussing her progress, at one point even privately dubbing her the most useless member of the Bestie Gang, then blaming his ranking on Ming (who actually ranked Fanny most useful after Dez, as she "brings the morale"). In spite of this harsh approach, his teachings have been instrumental in creating the baby gangster that Fanny is today.
=====Dezmond "Dez" Wright —=====
Fanny met Dezmond on her second day in the city while leaving her apartment. She asked him for a ride to the hospital, to which 4head tagged along. They quickly began bonding by robbing Gruppe 6 workers together. Nowadays, Dez is often the designated money-maker of the Bestie Gang, typically through working Gruppe 6. Though he's grown more conservative with his gang handouts over time, Fanny is usually the exception to the rule and receives wads of cash from Dez whenever she asks. While Dez is usually a gruff, emotionally withdrawn person, he's always ready to dole out praise to Fanny: "Keep up the great work!" and, "Finally some respect around here!" It's safe to say Dez has a soft spot for Fanny.
=====Cockington "Dickhead" Webster — =====
“WHY DIDNT YOU HAVE FANNYS BACK MOTHERFUCKER!”Dickhead and Fanny's dynamic is characterized by the exchange of poop stories and other embarrassing anecdotes. 
Dhead is a ride or die for Fanny; shown after Fanny tells him how she kicked Hazel out of the group, Dhead immediately says he’ll rob Hazel and asks Fanny if he should go break Gigi’s kneecaps after she told him Gigi attempted to rob her. 
=====Jamal Abdul Jabbar —===== 
Ever since the date auction Jamal is considered one of the Besties. Jamal is prettier than Fan Fan.
