Michael Teo

**Michael Teo** is one of the main antagonists of the Crazy Rich Asians book series.

He is the secondary antagonist of *Crazy Rich Asians*, a major antagonist of *China Rich Girlfriend*, and a supporting antagonist of *Rich People Problems*.

He is Astrid Leong's ex-husband and father to her son Cassian Teo.

## Background

Michael is a former Army technology specialist turned businessman and entrepreneur. He first caught Astrid's eye when she saw him at a fashion show modeling a speedo, much to his own embarrassment. They later meet again and are instantly attracted to one another, with Astrid calling him later the same night, and him immediately inviting her to his apartment, where it is implied they sleep together.

After his marriage he struggles to gain acceptance into her family due to his humble background, but after the success of his business (later revealed to be a result of Charlie Wu, Astrid's former boyfriend) he becomes more respected in the family.

## Personality

Michael was first introduced as a miserable and tired, but otherwise caring husband and father who only wants the best for his wife and son.

However, after his business becomes successful (due to the secret investment of Astrid's former lover Charlie Wu), Michael's personality shifts dramatically, and he becomes a highly self-centered and controlling husband.

## Crazy Rich Asians

### Novel

Michael is unhappy with his marriage to Astrid due to him constantly being looked down upon by his old-money in-laws. He fakes an affair in Hong Kong in an attempt to get Astrid to divorce him, which initially succeeds before Astrid uncovers his duplicity. They eventually reconcile by the end of the book with the intervention of Astrid's former lover Charlie Wu, who wants Astrid to be happy.

### Film

Astrid leaves him after discovering him having an affair with a mistress. Unlike in the novel, Michael in the movie is actually having an affair.

## China Rich Girlfriend

Michael's tech start-up booms to success, which is actually due to Charlie Wu's secret investing in the company in order to help Astrid save her marriage. However, success changes Michael's personality and makes him more tyrannical and controlling, eventually leading to Astrid leaving him with their son Cassian.

## Rich People Problems

Michael conspires with Charlie's ex wife Isabel to ruin Astrid's reputation and tries to extort money from her in their divorce settlement. He finally agrees to sign the divorce papers when Charlie Wu threatens to reveal what he has done to the police.

## Trivia

* Despite being a recurring antagonist of the trilogy, he never served as the main antagonist in any of the three novels, neither the film.
* Michael's role is slightly less evil in the books than the movie, as he wanted to end his relationship with Astrid, by faking an affair so they can actually be divorced, in the end, Michael and Astrid are on good terms. While in the movie, Michael's affair is actually real, and doesn't plan anything for Astrid to divorce him, this sort of makes him more evil

However, when Rachel runs away, Alix can actually be seen looking concernedly in her direction.

She is last seen at Rachel and Nick's engagement party cheering them on and showing her support for their relationship.

## Personality

Alix is shown to be one of the more compassionate and open-minded members of her family. She was shocked by her son Eddie's ruthlessness in his efforts to ensure his own inheritance of Tyersall Park, and tried to resist playing along with him.

She is also humble and seeks to keep a low-profile, even modestly describing herself as "just a housewife" when in fact she was the one responsible for gaining a large fortune due to her real estate trading. She is also quite embarrassed by Eddie's flamboyant and theatric tendencies, refusing his offer to fly their entire family around in a private jet.

Alix was considered by her mother Shang Su Yi to be a "peacemaker," as she often stands up to mediate conflict, especially within her own family.

Jacqueline Ling

**Jacqueline Ling** is wealthy Singaporean socialite, a secondary character and occasional antagonist in the Crazy Rich Asians book series by Kevin Kwan.

## Background

The glamorous god-daughter of Shang Su Yi and a granddaughter of the wealthy philanthropist Ling Yin Chao, Jacqueline is close to many members of the Shang/Young clan, especially her godmother Su Yi and Nick Young.

She is currently widowed with two children, a son Theodore ("Teddy") and daughter Amanda ("Mandy"). She is also a distant cousin and close friend of Oliver T'sien through his mother Bernadette Ling. Her longtime partner is Norwegian billionaire Victor Normann.

## Appearence

Jacqueline is known for her beauty and good-looks, with Rachel Chu remarking that she looked like a movie star. Oliver T'sien describes her as looking like a "Chinese Catherine Deneuve," and added that her legendary beauty attracted a crowd of admirers when she first visited Hong Kong in the 60s, with men fighting each other to propose to her.

## Crazy Rich Asians

She initially showed interested in meeting Rachel Chu and getting to know more about her, as Rachel was Nick's new girlfriend. However, once she found out about Rachel's background, Jacqueline became very resistant to the relationship and plotted with Eleanor Young to get rid of her, even making up lies about Rachel, hoping that her own daughter Amanda would rekindle her previous relationship with Nick.

## China Rich Girlfriend

She had her servants bring Nick to her yacht, where she attempted to convince him to cancel his wedding with Rachel and respect the wishes of his grandmother Su Yi. She warns him that he will not be able to inherit his grandmother's huge estate, Tyersall Park, if he insists on going through with the marriage. Jacqueline shares her own family story, how the Ling family fortune was dispersed through too many descendants and how she, as a woman, could only be married off and was cut out from the family fortune. She warns Nick not to take things for granted, cautioning him on what it would be like for him to be cut off from his family.
Cecilia Cheng

**Cecilia Cheng** is a Singaporean-Australian equestrienne, and a member of the Shang-Young clan. She is one of the secondary characters in the Crazy Rich Asians book series by Kevin Kwan.

## Background

Cecilia is the middle child of Malcolm Cheng and Alexandra Young, and their only daughter.

She is married to Australian businessman Tony Moncur, with whom she has a son. As an accomplished equestrienne, she has been accused of spending more time with her horses than with her son.

## Crazy Rich Asians

She is present at the family dinner of the Cheng family, where she is present along with her husband and son, her mother and father Malcolm and Alexandra, her brother Eddie Cheng and his wife and three children, and her other brother Alistair Cheng.

She expresses exasperation with the antics of her image-conscious brother Eddie, who offers to have their entire family flown to Colin Khoo and Araminta Lee's wedding by private jet, only to be turned down by Cecilia and the rest of their family.
Amanda Ling

**Amanda "Mandy" Ling** is a minor antagonist of the Crazy Rich Asians book series.

She is a supporting antagonist of the first novel *Crazy Rich Asians*.

## Background

* A childhood friend of Nick Young and Colin Khoo, Amanda is the daughter of Jacqueline Ling, and one of Nick's many ex-girlfriends along with Francesca Shaw. She and Nick were quite close when they were younger, being each other's first kiss and even having pet names for each other, with her still calling Nick, "Nico."

Like Nick and Rachel, she resides in New York, where, according to Eleanor Young, she is currently dating a "Jewish banker twice her age."

## Crazy Rich Asians

Despite being known as Araminta Lee's "archrival," she returns to Singapore from New York to attend Colin and Araminta's wedding. Eleanor hopes that she can break off the relationship between Nick and Rachel, as she believes Amanda is a better match for him than Rachel.

Mandy "coincidentally" meets Nick and Rachel at Nick's childhood hideout in Fort Canning Park, where she and Nick had their first kiss, much to the embarassment of Nick.

Mandy is friendly to Rachel at their first encounter but later in private, she makes pointed remarks to Rachel detailing her own past relationship with Nick.

She is not seen or mentioned again, as she doesn’t appear in *China Rich Girlfriend* and *Rich People Problems*. As her attempt to get back with Nick fails, as Nick has already proposed to Rachel.

## Trivia

* Amanda is one the few characters to not appear in the two sequels.
* While two more sequels based on the novels *China Rich Girlfriend* and *Rich People Problems*, are in development, it is unlikey that Amanda will appear any of them, as she wasn't in the books of it at all.
Catherine Young

**Princess Catherine Aakara** (née Young) is the second child of Shang Su Yi. She is a secondary character in the Crazy Rich Asians book series.

## Information

Catherine is the product of an affair between her mother, Shang Su Yi, and Prince Jisarit, a member of the Thai royal family. Su Yi's husband and Catherine's adoptive father, James Young, ultimately decided to forgive his wife and and raised Catherine as his own child.

Catherine is married to Prince Taksin Aakara. Like many members of the extended Thai royal family, they spend part of the year in Switzerland.

## *Rich People Problems*

Catherine and family, including her husband Taksin, her youngest son, Adam and his wife, Piya, are among the first to arrive at Tyersall Park after her mother Su Yi's heart attack. They are welcomed by her nephew, Eddie Cheng.

Eddie later comes across Catherine giving her son a massage after a botched badminton match between him and Alistair Cheng.

Catherine received 12.5 percent of Tyersall Park from her mother's will, but ultimately consented to the renovation of Tyersall Park into a historic landmark and hotel.
Eddie Cheng

**Edison "Eddie" Cheng** is the private banker cousin of Nick Young and Astrid Leong, as well as one of the secondary protagonists and occasional antagonist in the Crazy Rich Asians book series by Kevin Kwan.

## Personal Information

Eddie is the eldest son of Malcolm Cheng and Alexandra Young, and has two younger siblings, Alistair and Cecilia.

His wife is the "long-suffering" Fiona Tung, with whom has has three children, Constantine, Kalliste, and Augustine.

Eddie is ambitious and will do anything to elevate his own status. He cares deeply about his image, even more than his own wife and children. He is quite bothered by the fact that despite having wealthy, successful parents, they are frugal and far from glamorous.

## *Rich People Problems*

Since it is widely assumed by most in the family that Nick Young has been disinherited by his grandmother Shang Su Yi for marrying Rachel Chu against her wishes, Eddie expects to inherit her massive estate, Tyersall Park, after she passes away.

He was with Su Yi when she became agitated after hearing Nick's name. He goes so far to have Nick banned from coming inside the house in order to ensure Nick will not be rewritten into her will.

When the family heard the reading of the the will of the Shang Su Yi, he was greatly surprised that he did not inherit a portion of Tyersall Park. Furthermore, he was outraged to find out that his own wife also happened to be a witness to the signing of the will, which he was previously unaware of.

At his younger brother Alistair's wedding to Goh Peik Lin, his cousin Astrid is surprised to see that he has significantly changed his ways since his breakdown after not receiving Tyersall Park, remarking that she had never seen him so emotional with his family before. His wife Fiona tells her that she forced him to go to therapy and change his ways after being unable to tolerate his behavior any longer.
Cilia

**Cilia** is fairy that accompanied Doku during her introduction into the series while they were in search of the homeland of the fairies.

## Appearance

Cilia has black ribbons tied around her ankles, a short skirt made of blue flower petals, and braided flower stamens tied around her chest over her bosom. Her long hair is tied into two braids that run down her back. She has red eyes and translucent blue fairy wings.

## Personality

Cilia is, like most fairies in Eden, very naive and energetic, much in the same way Pip is. She's very fond of Doku who is her closest friend and extremely protective of her. Like all fairies she's attracted to women and becomes easily enamored by the sight of a woman's bosom, especially Doku's that she always runs to with glee. She's quite friendly with those she comes across and usually refrains from using any of her magic under a promise she made to Doku that she'll always be a good girl and never harm anyone, though if stepped on or if Doku's in danger she won't hesitate to use her magic to obliterate those that pushed her.

Like all fairies her glow shifts depending on her mood. When happy or content her glow is blue, when excited or flustered it shifts to yellow, and when angered it turns red.

## Development

Cilia is first encountered in Act VII when she and Doku fall from the sky onto Kitten and Daniel's group. It's learned that they are searching for the home of the fairies so Cilia can be with her own kind. She and Pip become fast friends, with her and Doku remaining with Daniel's party so they can spend time together and travel in their company. While very protective of Doku, Cilia quickly warms up to Daniel and the girls and becomes their friend as well. However their time together is short, as during the night Apoch & Astreal sneak up on Cilia while she's outside and capture her, taking her away with them while everyone is asleep. The next day Apoch & Astreal present one of Cilia's ribbons to Daniel, claiming a bird caught and ate her during the night. In truth, they had taken Cilia to Twilight in her City of Eden, where the Dark Queen ate her for her magic.

## Trivia

* Cilia was originally planned to stay in Daniel's harem along with Doku, however it was feared that she would steal away Pip’s originality as the two would always be seen together and thought of as one, almost like Luna and Falla. Cilia was instead written out, providing an exit for her character and also showing readers what Apoch and Astreal were capable of with their magic.
Mabel T’sien

**Mabel T'sien** is the wife of Alfred Shang and sister-in-law of Shang Su Yi. She is a secondary character in the Crazy Rich Asians books series by Kevin Kwan.

## Background

Mabel hails from the esteemed T'sien family. Through her marriage with Alfred Shang and the marriage of her own mother Rosemary T'sien (nee Young) with her father T'sien Tsai Tay, the T'sien family united with both the Young and Shang families.

With her husband, Mabel has three sons, all of whom married aristocratic English ladies and reside in England with their children. In order to spend more time with her grandchildren, Mabel and her husband Alfred Shang spend much of their year in their estate, Harlinscourt, in the English countryside.
