PREFERRED METHODS OF CONTACT: AIM or PM
OTHER CHARACTERS: Clare
I POST: Usually daily.
I BROUGHT THIS CHARACTER OVER FROM: The dark twisted place inside my head where tortured souls scream and gibber and beg for mercy.
Lock it? You'll lose it. Put it in plain sight you won't lose it to me.
NAME: Zhang Shuping
NICKNAMES: April
AGE: 19
GENDER: Female
FACE CLAIM: He Jie
APPEARANCE: 5' 1", 108 lbs, late teens
EMPLOYMENT:
Art Student
Looking for part time work
Freelance liberator (okay, okay, thief, though I am trying to keep it under control, especially since the Institute)
GROUPS: None at present.
HOUSING: 14421 167th Ave, Apartment 3B
LIKES:
Drawing, Sketching, Digital Art, Dancing, Singing, Flirting, Sex, Boys, Girls, Secrets - especially discovering other people's, Locks.
And yet.... Nothing! Other than my art, nothing brings me lasting pleasure.
DISLIKES:
Being hit on by people who think that my being pretty gives them license to have what they want.
Meat.
GOALS: Survive? Other than that I don't have any. Don't know who I want to be or where I want to go. Do I even want to survive?
FEARS: Spiders, Insects (especially cockroaches), Rodents, Being forced to marry someone my parents chose. Dying alone.
PERSONALITY:
I am very good at drawing - a pencil or pen and a piece of paper. But mostly they are dark and twisted. I observe and take the good I see and twist it into bad. I draw out the worst features.
I can be as quiet as a mouse and blend into the background or I can go on full frontal assault and be in your face. I am who I want to be when I want to be. I am out for what I can get. For that you can blame my father. I take what I want. If it is locked I will open it. If there is the smell of a secret I will fish it out.
But I think that if someone could show me a better way, keep promises to me, love me, I think I could change and reveal what I would like to be in a friendlier world. It comes out in some of my art, the pictures I don't show the rest of the world. Sometimes, when I am alone and know that no one can see, I dream of flowers and butterflies, fairies and pixies and elfs.
But I hide that side of me most of the time, even from myself. Perhaps even especially from myself. I remind myself of what treading the softer path has done to my mother. I think that is why I hate her so, I can see myself becoming like her.
WHAT FIVE ADJECTIVES FIT YOUR CHARACTER?
Surface: Dangerous, Conniving, Vindictive, Scheming, Domineering.
Underneath: Vulnerable, Isolated, Submissive, Lonely, Dreamy.
NATIONALITY: Chinese. Naturalized American Citizen
FAMILY:
My father Zhang Xing is a businessman. I never have found out doing what but he doesn't seem to make a lot of money or he spends it elsewhere. My mother Zhang Ziyi stays at home and is a doormat to my father. I have an older sister, Vivian (she doesn't ever use her Chinese name) who is completing her degree to become an accountant. I think my father wants her to look after his books when she graduates. My younger brother, Huan, still only fourteen, lives in fear of my father and is turning into a Mummy's Boy though she cannot protect him.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Nothing steady. Playing both sides of the field.
I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE STYLE OF WRITING EXPECTED AT THIS SITE: YES
OTHER NOTES:
I was born in Shanghai and emigrated to America when I was nine with my parents, an older sister and younger brother.
I spent some time at a certain Institute that I shall not name to protect the innocent. I sort of met Devon and Rave there but our circles didn't cross much. I doubt they remember me.
My parents don't want to have anything to do with me and that suits me fine because I don't want to have anything to do with them. I think, though, that my mother and I might get along if it were not for my father who dominates everything. They have given me a small allowance that should almost cover the rent (though I am going to have to find a room mate or resort to freelance liberation). I think it so that I will stay away. Certainly on the occasions that I have tried to arrange to go home to visit they always say it is inconvenient and could I go in a couple of weeks, knowing that it will be term time again and that I won't be able to.
I speak American English with only the very slightest of Chinese accents.
