Jinafire Long

Jinafire Long is a character from the Monster High series.
== Charactah Account ==
Daughter of the Chinese dragon. A cutting-edge fashion designer who's influenced by the markets and bright colors of her native Fanghai, who incorporates sharp lines and edits into her pieces. Takes design very seriously, which is why she came to study under Madame Ghostier.
Jinafire is a strong-willed, fiery, brave, and fashion-forward girl. Her profile hints at a hot temper, but she is portrayed in the webisodes and Scaris: City of Frights TV special as clever, patient when she is not directly affected by the situation, and focused on her work. Her specialty is metalworking because of her ability to breathe fire. Because she comes from a household where competition is the usual, even if friendly, Jinafire takes each and every challenge very seriously and is focused on results. She is quick to lose her temper when things don't go her way, which makes for a stark contrast with the cool and calculated way she handles situations when she feels in control.

== Trivia ==
* Jinafire is based on the travels through Asia of Rebecca Shipman, the designer.
* "Jinafire" is a play on the name "Jennifer", with "jin" being the character for "gold" or "money" in several Asian languages including Chinese, which ties into Jinafire's skin color, and "fire", as Jinafire is a dragon (though Chinese dragons are associated with water rather than fire). "Long" is based on "lóng" is the Chinese word for "dragon", while the Vietnamese word is something similar which is "rồng" or "con rồng".
* Jinafire's name is not a traditional Chinese name, as the family name goes last unlike most East Asian names, and "Jinafire" is not a real Chinese name; since it is based on the name "Jennifer" and "jin", the Chinese word for gold or money, while her name "Long" only means "dragon" in Chinese.
* She is good in swordsmanship, which is a culture in most East Asian countries such as China.
* Unlike other "foreign exchange" students at Monster High, or other students who attend other schools, such as for example Garrott du Roque, Jinafire does not appear to speak any bit of speech pattern including the language of the nationality of her country, with the only exception being the name "Sichuan", which is the name of a province in China. This is a reference to how a "Sischuan cuisine" is usually a type of food with a lot of spice to it.
