## Biography

### Early Life

Krystal was born on January 16, 2000 in Morlyn, to an unnamed father and Colleen Liu, and is the younger sister of Kaitlyn Liu. Their father left the family when Krystal was three years old, leaving Colleen to raise both children by herself. As children, Krystal was extremely close with her older sister, and grew up alongside childhood best friend Daniel Hartford, whose parents were close friends with Colleen. As they got older, the sisters drifted apart due to mingling with different crowds; in middle school, Krystal befriended Penny González and Ben Clarke, whom she was introduced to through Daniel, and whom she began dating since sophomore year of high school.

Krystal has also mentioned she was in the girls' soccer team in elementary school, but had quit by middle school.

## Physical Appearance

Krystal is a young Chinese-American woman in her late teens, with medium-length straight dark hair, fair skin, and brown eyes, standing at 5'5" tall with a lean physique. She also has a small scar on her left collarbone where Jesse bit her. She is also described as pretty though not conventionally beautiful. She typically wears natural and minimal make-up, and wears a casual and relaxed clothing style in neutral tones that usually consists of t-shirts, jackets, jeans and shorts. She also usually wears a solid jade bangle in her left wrist, which was gifted to her by her late grandmother.

As a fledgling, her eyes would turn copper in color, and her upper canines would grow slightly sharper and more pointed whenever she was hungry or angered.

## Skills and Abilities

**Fledgling Physiology**: While in transition, Krystal possesses the standard abilities and powers of a fledgling vampire, including enhanced strength, speed, agility, stamina, and senses; as well as a regenerative healing factor that allows her to heal severe injuries over only several days. Though her powers are significantly inferior compared to those of full-fledged vampires, she is much more resistant to sunlight, and is still able to consume and digest human food to a limited extent.

* **Sire Bond**: Krystal shares a sire bond with her progenitor, Jesse Whitlock, which is an empathic link that allows her to mentally sense his presence, as well as experience and share each other's emotions. His blood also possesses some healing properties for her, as well as vice versa.
