## Personality

A remarkably bright young lady, Chunlin exudes confidence and style in whatever she chooses to do. She is the type to play out her decisions without hesitation, acting without second guessing herself. Should others question her seemingly unfounded confidence, they’ll oftentimes find themselves won over through a combination of Chunlin’s overwhelming charisma and sharp wit. People quickly come to realize that her confidence is not cockiness; she focuses much of her attention on the world around her, allowing her to make notes on her surroundings which, in turn, gives her the information required to allow her intuition to guide her. Though- she likes to use these skills for other things other than critical decision making. She’s a bit of a people person, finding great enjoyment in interacting with others. Her patience and strong will gives her the energy to navigate - and even enjoy - the most prickly of conversations.

It’s rather obvious in the way Chunlin carries herself, but she’s a remarkably free-spirited person, oftentimes flitting around without a care in the world. She finds great joy in indulging in her more childish side as she cheerfully pulls little pranks on others or simply teases them, pushing as many as their buttons as possible without her getting in trouble. She also has a great deal of pride in herself, allowing her to bounce off seemingly any criticism that comes her way with a smile, only concerned with living in a way that satisfies herself.

However, contrary to her appearances, Chunlin is someone who can be quite obsessive - especially when it comes to the idea of revenge. Though it’s a rare occurrence, whenever Chunlin feels as if she has been wronged, she becomes fixated on returning the favor. With any of her goals, in fact, she’ll go to great lengths in order to gain what she wants. Whether it be using other people or lying through her teeth, her ambitions are, to her, the only absolutes in the world. It’s also shockingly difficult to get truly close to her - though she may enjoy breaking down others’ walls, she keeps her own under tight guard, dodging any attempts people may make to learn more about her intentions or her history with a well-timed joke and a bright laugh. The more times you speak to Chunlin, the more times you try to get to know her beyond her charismatic, cheerful exterior, the more of an enigma she seems to become. However, if she ever speaks to you honestly, it becomes clear what a cynical person she is. By default, she sees the worst in others, mapping out the most catastrophic possible outcome far before she makes any decision to avoid it. After all, if she’s aware of the worst, then nothing can surprise her when something inevitably turns bitter.

## Biography

Chunlin thinks back on her childhood with a great deal of love. Anyone who spent any amount of time with her family could say, without hesitation, that her parents’ happiness and treasure in life was her and - given a few years - her younger brother. Her parents had spent a majority of their life together building a small business together, finally having children once their expenditures had turned into something more stable, enough to build a family together. It was a warm life; her parents raised her and her brother responsibly, taking care of their needs and creating a close relationship with both of them. Even as a young child, Chunlin felt supported, reassured by her family’s presence as her ambitions slowly grew far beyond the scope of her parent’s expectations.

Unexpectedly when Chunlin entered her teen years, the business exploded, turning a livable income into enough wealth for their parents, as well as their children, to never have to work another day in their lives. Their family entered a momentary period of uncertainty as her parents struggled to adjust. Eventually, when the situation settled, her parents were faced with a massive business and a young daughter with an even larger ambitious streak asking to be trained to take over it. Well… there was no harm in humoring her for a bit. Regardless, it was an event of good fortune, allowing them rest easy knowing that their futures were secure even if the business unexpectedly fell through.

It was just... that it didn’t fall through the way they were expecting it to.

Her parents went missing a few years later, seemingly vanishing from existence somewhere during their business trip to Ordene. Days turned into weeks and she and her brother sat at home, helpless as they waited for the missing persons report to magically return their parents back home to them. Given time though, it was made clear to her that the situation was more than a tragic accident. She went to bed one night and woke up three days later in the hospital without her right arm, unable to remember what had happened to her. Apparently she had been the one to call for help and yet - perhaps it was due to trauma or a nasty bump on the head - she couldn’t state any of the events of that night. Something had clearly happened though - her missing arm was proof enough of the fact - and she was left wondering why exactly she wasn’t dead when it was so painfully obvious that someone wanted her family’s wealth. Perhaps they didn’t have the heart to kill a child. Perhaps all they wanted to do was leave her a message, to break her spirit, to make her give up on taking over the business.

It just pissed her off though.

The investigation turned up almost nothing. No eye witnesses and no evidence. Bitterly enough, the only lead was her parents’ memories found in the sea, but the ones gathered gave no indication of who was behind their untimely deaths. Weeks turned into months turned into nothing and she was left with an empty promise of ‘We’ll keep an eye out’ as her grief boiled over. Her frustrations mounted with each passing day, amplified by the knowledge that she should have known who did it, her lost arm a bitter reminder of her own weakness.

Trauma be damned. She needed to know who had done this to her.

So here was the plan. Turn 18, become a Fisher. Gain connections to pull some strings, solve the case by 25, and return to take over her parent’s business. She bid her time, waiting patiently as the years ticked down to the day where she would finally be able to take the investigation into her own hands. If she had to search through every memory deposit in existence, she would if it meant she could torment those who had tormented her family. She wasn’t willing to wait around to die in order for the case to be solved.

When she was 16, she began to study, utilizing the wealth her parents had left behind to give herself the connections and resources required to gain an advantage on the Fisher Exam.

When she turned 18, she passed the exam and set off to sea.
