## Biography

### Childhood

Hieu was born on November 18, 1989, in the town of Rach Gia, Vietnam. His parents named him after his parental grandfather Hieu P. Nguyen. When he was a year old, his family moved to the United States on November 26, 1990. His family moved to the town of Westminster, California.

Hieu was born with autism which severely affected his social communication. Hieu always wondered why he acted so strange when communicating, however, he just rolled with it. Of course, he had some okay parents, who both were neglectful, but Hieu was fine with it. He also heavily despised his older sister Xuan because of how rude she was towards him. Nevertheless, Hieu still cared for her.

### Teenagerhood

In his teenage and adult years, it sorts of got better for him. He went to college and eventually graduated. Sometimes as a hobby, he would like to draw. He would often make OCs based on the people he knew such as Lillian. It almost seemed that Hieu would be perfect for a while despite his autism. Of course, like every character with a tragic backstory, it won't go well for long.

One day, Hieu decided that he should settle things out with his sister as the years passed. In the summer of 2012, Hieu decided to go visit to have a bit of chat. After a while, he was at his sister's house. As he knocked on the front door, Xuan suddenly came up the door and started yelling at Hieu for what Hieu thought was no reason.

Because of this incident, Hieu has despised his sister ever since. After that incident, he thought he should just cool himself down. When he was walking, he met Lillian who was sitting on a bench at Memorial Park with her mother.

## Description

Hieu has brown hair and dark brown eyes. He has several scars on his body as a result of some noodle accidents as a child. He also has some scars on his face from his acne. On Hieu's arms, are bite marks from Lillian who would occasionally bite his arms. Hieu sometimes wears a black jacket.
