## Personality

* Spoiled, by her upbringing, by the people around her. Puts too much faith in her own brain and isn't sure how to deal with not getting what she wants.
* Was always supported by her parents and somewhat secluded as a child from the harshness of reality, without a lot of real experience on her own, and is somewhat naive in the way she deals with the world.
* Is affectionate easily, and chummy with her friends. Likes to hug or hold hands with people because didn't get much physical affection as a child.
* Wants to be a kind person but is too straight-forward and blunt with her words to be any good at comforting. Often times says things that are rude because her brain to mouth filter is honestly a little lacking.
* Opportunistic and curious; just because she doesn't know much about surviving on her own doesn't mean she isn't hungry to learn, always looking for new opportunities to take advantage of.
* Adventurous due to never having been able to have adventures of her own having always been considered too frail.

## Background

Boring. Boring boring boring boring. That's how Tori always regarded her upbringing; boring, nothign special, nothing exciting. Sure, her parents were divorced and maybe it was a little hard and sure she was in the hospital a lot but nothing happened, it's not like she went on some big adventure and nearly died right--??

(OK so maybe Tori doesn't have the best perspective on this).

Child of wealthy Chinese immigrants in a failing marriage, at a young age her parents did what very few other Asians seems to be able to do: they got a divorce. She spent most of her time living with her mother in NYC while her father lived in DC; she maintained most of her relationship with him through frequent skyping and a phone call every other day. Most of her childhood and indeed a lot of her high school life was spent in and out of hospital rooms; her frail disposition since childhood prevented her from frequently playing outdoors and made her exempt from most physical education requirements.

Furthermore, her tendency to hurt herself by walking made her parents very very protective of her, becoming the typical helicopter parents. Not that Tori noticed. Tori wasn't always well enough to play outside anyways, and the sun hurt her eyes and she didn't like moving and-- well needless to say she spent most of her time studying and staying away from all the horrid things her mother told her to stay away from. She got good grades and went to a good university nearby.

Except it was boring. Boring boring boring. Even girls who couldn't run very far or play very much eventually got restless with how static they are. So when she got that text? What could it hurt to check it out? Anyways, if anything happens, it's local anyways, right?

She could just head right back home.

## Trivia

* fancy headdress enthusiast; genuinely upset that they are not acceptable fashion attire.
* always looks like she's about to tip over because they are so . damn. heavy.
* can mostly operate without medical help on her own now; is still told not to strain herself by doctors at her biyearly check ups.
* In terms of languages, Chinese > English.
* Taste in media can be pretty well summarized as extremely shitty or horribly brain rotting (What do you mean she's watched every season of grey's anatomy five times???)
* Studies Accounting but hates most of it; refuses to quit because that's what her parents want her to do.
* Believes in ghosts/spirits, doesn't consider herself religious.
* re: above point; her friendly family doctoral resident when she was in high school made her v interested in the occult
