Jing is a singer in LUNAIRE who is a student at Kentwood High School.

## Background

### Personal Background

Jing was born into a family with a Chinese mother and Korean father in China. Her younger sister, Areum, was then born two years later than her. Unfortunately, her parents weren’t exactly considered wealthy, but they'd always do their best to support their two daughters with whatever they'd like. Her parents weren't strict on her, but since it is basically the usual, Jing would study constantly to be at the top of schools to become successful in her homeland. As a result, she never really had a childhood. The only time she really took a break was during the night hours, where she could stargaze; some of these times, Areum would join in.

By the time she was eight, Jing and her family immigrated to America with hopes that they'll find a better life there. It was a miracle, as their wish had come true; the family became much more prosperous, and Jing and Areum was able to have more joy in their lives, with their main difficulty being unable to speak English fluently. Her first day at her new school was where she met her dearest friends: Nora, Anh, Antoinette, and Hazel. Although Jing only recently started going to school in America, she was at the top of her classes, going from elementary to present time. This was all thanks to studying so often in China.

Even when Jing moved to America, she was still addicted to studies, all until her parents had gifted her with her first ever game console. After she started playing on it, she's just found another addiction; it was almost as much as her love for stargazing. Not only that, she learned she had a love for music by the time she was in middle school.

Presently, Jing is still hanging out with friends from her childhood. Now in high school, she is in honor classes, the volleyball team, the first seat in band (not orchestra), joined the choir class, at the top of her classes, and finished all her homework and got straight A’s.

### Group Background

Jing met her friend group, consisting of Nora, Antoinette, Hazel, and Anh, when she was a child. Jing was a transfer student, and while wandering down the hallway, she met Nora. Nora was a new student as well, but she already met her group of friends. She invited Jing into the friend group, which she continues to be with today. As they grew older, the bond with each other would become stronger, and Jing was invited to sing with the whole friend group.

## Appearance

Jing has calm, purple eyes with mid-length black hair, and her skin is somewhat pale. She is a Chinese and Korean individual.

Her usual clothing style is just comfy, baggy clothes. She'll wear a t-shirt covered with a white jacket on top, usually a fleece, and for pants, Jing would either wear sweat pants or cargo pants; she never wears jeans or leggings. Black headphones are usually around her neck, and she puts them on when she's working to concentrate better or just to relax and listen to music. She wears space-like earrings, but sometimes she'll switch them out. Jing always wears sneakers since she finds those comfiest. In the summer and fall, she'll remain wearing her t-shirts with the chance of her bringing a white fleece. Jing will have shorts on the majority of those seasons.

However, when Jing has school concerts, she has a dress code: everything must be black. The school requires her to wear formal clothing, so she'll always wear her black button-down along with her dress pants. She'll wear black dress shoes to those concerts, as well.

Her idol outfit includes a crop-top sleeveless turtleneck with a moon on it. A purple jacket reveals her shoulder, and her pants have the moon phases on the side have a string attached, having a little moon chain attached. Jing wears purple leather boots to go along with the rest of her outfit.

## Personality

Jing usually relaxes and hangs out with herself, otherwise with friends or family. When necessary, she'll work with others for projects; excluding these times, she'll spend her time doing games, finishing minimal studies, chatting with friends, doing anything music related, or just anything she wants to do. These music related things include singing, playing clarinet, and listening to songs with the occasion of writing her own music that she'll never complete, many times not even knowing where to start.

However, many times Jing hangs out by herself since she always enjoys playing games. She’ll head to the arcade often to win a few prizes for her friends and family, and when she’s home, she’ll use her devices to play video games just for fun. She’s played enough games to show she’s incredibly skilled at almost all the ones she plays; Jing is usually open to all types of genres, and she’ll often play them for a while.

She's intelligent, kind, and considerate; she enjoys being with the ones she cares about. Her sleep schedule is horrible, and she always stays up late. Jing has a tendency of bottling up her feelings since she doesn't want to bother anyone, but if she lets it all out, she rages at everyone without meaning too. She's incredibly timid, but once she gets to know you, she'll be king and help you as much as possible, but she'll be somewhat strict on you as well. She's not a very studious person; Jing only finishes her work on time and gets her studies in before assessments.

## Relationships

### Family

**Jing's mother:** Jing looks up to her mom, Shui; she believes that her mom is an extraordinary woman, as she’s intelligent and can learn many things within a short amount of time, specifically once she moved to America. Jing likes to talk about how amazing her mom is to many people, stating how she can speak Chinese, Korean, and English; incredibly strong; managed to become a CRO of a company within six years; and is able to have a confident attitude, which is something Jing lacks. As Jing aged, she notes how Shui becomes somewhat stricter on her, but the teenager still looks up to her mom nonetheless.

**Jing's father:** Jing adores her dad, Ji-Ho, and continuously yaps about him as well; she’s always kept the mindset of how he’s a knowledgeable person who works with his wife/Jing’s mother. Similar to Jing, Ji-Ho looks up to Shui, as well, and does try to keep an impressive appearance to others, such as learning his wife’s first tongue to look better in front of Shui’s family. Similar to Jing, he’s not as sociable with others, but he’s got traits that balances out with other characteristics; for example, he’s able to show kindness to those around him.

**Jing’s sister:** Areum is a wonderful person to Jing, and the older sister shows a great amount of affection to her younger sibling. Jing doesn’t see her as bright as everyone else, but doesn’t really care, as she still remembers the other benefits that she has, including her kindness and ability to socialize. To Jing, Areum is adorable and knows how to make everyone smile. She doesn’t know how she was lucky enough to even have her as a sibling, but Jing is grateful nonetheless.

### Friends

**Antoinette:** Antoinette is a hard working individual in Jing’s eyes. Jing sees them as a kind individual with a great amount of common sense, which is something Jing packs. To Jing, they’re like the parent of the friend group.

**Anh:** Jing feels as though Anh is a very mature individual, who manages to keep track of everything. Jing looks up to them since they’re the producer in the group, and they almost seem like an adult, but she does note that they’ll skip doing their homework. However, she still thinks that Anh is a kind and great friend to be with.

**Hazel:** To Jing, Hazel is a very polite person, always helping those in need and has basically been there for everyone—especially her friends. It’s something Jing admires about her, but she noticed that Hazel is an extremely tired person, and believes her grades could be a bit higher. Jing hopes that she’ll be anble to help Hazel with almost anything, just like how she helped her.

**Kazumi:** Kazumi is an online friend for Jing; he played a few games with Jing before, and they’ve become friends in the process.

**Eleanor:** Eleanor met Jing in the park, where she recognized the student who was known for their academic scores at the high school. Jing hung out with Eleanor once, which is where they went to a beach to hang out. Jing had a great amount of fun, and realized she found herself another friend.

**Violeta:** Jing went to the aquarium, just to find herself meeting Violeta. She greeted the individual, and both started to analyze and admire each other’s hair, and the two became friends somewhat quickly. Right before Violeta moved to Japan, Jing chose to exchange numbers with him.

### Romantic

**Nora:** Jing sees Nora as her best friend. She notes how she tries living her best life, and she looks up to her for that. To Jing, they have a decent amount in common, such as both being in the volleyball team. Even with similarities, there are still different things, as well. For example, Jing sometimes gets scared of Nora’s jumping spider, Arizona. Nonetheless, Jing is extremely close with Nora; ever since she was little, she could consider her as her best friend.

Later on in life, it became clear to everyone that Nora started having feelings towards her, but Jing’s love for the other wasn’t as noticeable. Many times, Nora would be flirty to many individuals—including Jing—as a way to hide being direct about it. On some occasions, Jing flirts back.
