Preferences: n/a!
Character Name: Yingying
Canon: Path to Nowhere
Character Age: Technically she is 100+, physically she’s probably about in her mid 20’s.
Info: Here!
Character Orientation: Pan/bi!
Are you/this character open to an OT3?: Yes!
Personality:
STRENGTHS
- CURIOUS: Yingying is inquisitive, nosy, and resourceful, excellent at sniffing out gossip and keeping tabs on everyone around her – she’s also naturally very curious about technology and customs that are unfamiliar to her.
- PLAYFUL: She has a fun demeanor, often smiling and joking with all those she interacts with; even when being outright scolded or across the table from dreary types, it’s hard to dampen her usual flirty, charming cheer.
- SINCERE: In her own words, she’s a person who loves ‘happy endings’ – Yingying has a genuine desire to protect others and see their wishes come true, and speaks warmly from the heart.
WEAKNESSES
- RESENTFUL: Merged with countless resentful souls for over a hundred years, Yingying has lingering resentment and regret towards the past 100 years of her life, which include 1) witnessing (and surviving) the catalyst event of the apocalypse, and 2) preying on travelers’ Qi to keep herself alive.
- DIRECTIONLESS: Stuck within her own illusions of her hometown’s untimely fate for over a hundred years, she’s unlearned in the ways of the present, and can be prone to having low motivation and enthusiasm to restart her life anew.
- EVASIVE: Yingying doesn’t easily make herself vulnerable, and tends to avoid showing or speaking into existence her truest feelings, far preferring to keep up a “charming” and pleasant persona.
Any Additional Info: Yingying’s physical body is basically entwined deep within a really big wisteria tree. She can project an illusory version of herself outside of it, though she needs to sap energy from others through touch to keep the illusion going. The illusory version of herself is solid and can be felt and touched, though likely doesn’t need (?) to eat … I think. It’s not clear I’m sorry, but definitely let me know if you need any further clarifications/information about it!
I was thinking maybe the tree could be on set somewhere, maybe… but a single potted plant of wisteria from the original tree would work as well, she’s able to project herself from this as well! In canon, only like, one person can see her, but for the sake of this game, I was just going to assume everyone would be able to see her.
Of course, alternatively, if you would prefer for her just have a normal physical body for whatever game reason, I’m happy to do that too! Just let me know :3
LOVE SURVEY
1. Do you have a preference on type of relationship?
I’m good with anything, no preference in any particular direction!
2. What sort of relationship does your character want?
Ultimately, she wants someone she can tease and have fun with. Yingying tends to have a short-sighted view of what relationships she can have; without getting into too much detail, she’s basically been trapped reliving the same 4 days leading up to the apocalypse on and off for about 100 years. She sees herself as an observer in most interactions, too, as she cannot be seen by most others in her canon. Because of this, I think that when she thinks of a relationship that she ‘wants,’ her desires are pretty simple: she just wants to be with someone who will spend time with her that she can laugh with.
Also, she wants someone that is capable of letting go of their past and sorrows (with time!)… having to lug around thousands of peoples’ regrets and anguish for 100 years has made her focused on the present and future rather than the past.
3. What sort of relationship does your character need? Is it different from what they want?
Someone who would give her hope for the future! Someone who could encourage her and find ways to integrate her into their life, and help her rebuild and heal. Having regrets about their past, anguish about being unable to save someone, or having a great level of loneliness are all things she would benefit from having someone to empathize with about. Yingying feels uniquely alone about her circumstances, being the sole survivor of an apocalyptic event, and she would feel kinship with someone else who had experienced a great loss of some kind, or was isolated for a long period.
She also needs someone who is kind at their heart! She has witnessed a lot of tragedy and also feels a lot of regret for the more nefarious periods of her life; she wouldn’t get on well with someone who enjoyed the suffering of others, or anything like that.
4. Please list two to three physical features your character finds attractive.
- If someone dresses plainly… she finds this cuter than maximum slayage
- Long hair, especially if well cared for
- Eccentric or unusual features/makeup, she finds this sort of thing fascinating
5. Please list two to three physical features your character finds unattractive.
- Too much ruggedness?!
- Too beefy….
- Maybe something like a ton of scars, not because scars aren’t cool but because she doesn’t want to be with someone super violent always getting into fights????
6. Please list two to three personality traits/features your character finds attractive.
- Earnest
- Hard-working
- Shy/flustered
7. Please list two to three personality traits/features your character finds unattractive.
- Charming/an egregious smooth talker
- Selfishness/disregard for others
8. When showing affection, what is your character's love language?
Physical touch is a big one, she likes to hold on to people’s arms, give them massages, give them a little playful kiss to get some Qi, wrap them up in her wisteria branches… the list goes on. Quality time would be the other one!
9. When they receive affection, what is your character's love language?
Quality time is the most important, she needs to be with someone who is going to spend time with her, and/or make time to be with her.
10. Do they pursue, or would they prefer to be the pursued in a relationship?
She tends to be the pursuer!
11. Why hasn't your character found love yet?
The aforementioned trapped in an illusion reliving the apocalypse; prior to that, she was a girl working at a brothel and her moms (the other girls there) were very protective of letting any old shmuck try to romance her.
12. What are you, as a player, hoping for in a match?
I’M PRETTY OPEN TO ANYTHING WRT MATCHES! I always just YOLO it and see what the game brings me. I think it would be cute to have someone she could (affectionately) (relentlessly) bully and tease, but she’d also be good paired up with someone more dreary too, as she doesn’t get discouraged/pushed away by those types. in sum i will support u wherever u send me
13. Are you open to being matched with someone purely with intent for drama? Ex: two characters being matched together because they are super incompatible.
ALWAYS 👍
14. What are some of your favorite tropes/dynamics in shipping?
Rivals to lovers, grumpy meets happy, bad end couples/star crossed… human/inhuman… immortal/mortal…. ETC
15. And finally: top or bottom?
top..... tbh
