the basics
name
hong mei-xing.
nickname(s)
mei-xing or mei.
age
twenty-seven years.
ethnicity
chinese.
birthday
november thirtieth, 1984.
orientation
heterosexual.
occupation
editor for a local publishing company.
appearance
mei-xing stands at around five feet, six inches tall, but likes to cheat occasionally by wearing heels. her hair is a very, very dark brown, almost black, and cut to a length that just dusts her shoulders, with face-framing bangs and layers in both full-length and jaw-length. she will wear it in almost any style she can manage with its length, and often puts clips or pins or bows in it to match her outfits. her eyes are a natural hazel color, rimmed with long, dark lashes. due to all her studying and working, she almost always has very faint dark circles under her eyes, but she is skilled at hiding them with makeup. being that she is chinese, her skin is that soft yellowish-tan, with a slightly visible flush on her cheeks at all times.
as far as fashion goes, she'll try anything - as long as it's comfortable. boots, heels, sneakers; blouses, t-shirts, long sleeves, sleeveless, strapless; jeans, slacks, cargoes, skinnies, skirts, capris; you name it and she's probably tried it. she loves to accessorize, and tries to in any way that she can without overloading herself. the occasional scarf of hat is usually her favorite, and she might through on a few bracelets or a necklace here and there. as she's grown older, her style has evolved to be more...elegant, but she is not above going childish for a day (as long as she's not working). she can be very picky about her clothes, however, so shopping trips often take longer than expected.

the nitty-gritty
personality
intelligent
mei-xing never had problems in school. she was always the top student in her class, and, despite a few instances of self-doubt, tried her best. she is not necessarily naturally gifted, in her opinion, and thinks that she got where she is today through hard work and perseverance. it's not that she necessarily enjoys school, but she also had no true reason to hate it other than the sheer amount of work that she placed on herself. she often bit off more than she could chew, but always managed to get it done.
reserved
she is never the person to strike up a conversation. she often prefers to be a bit of a wall-flower, and will usually only speak if spoken to. she doesn't mind talking to people, in fact she loves it. she likes to be in social situations, but she doesn't enjoy being the center of attention in the slightest. because of this, despite her many achievements in school, she has always wanted to stay below the radar. that's not to say that she doesn't distinguish herself; she just doesn't brag about her achievements. she's always scolded herself for being so shy, and hopes someday to be able to get over that.
sarcastic
once she opens up to you, mei-xing is very funny and vibrant. she has a rather sarcastic sense of humor, with a bit of darkness thrown in, but she is never outright mean or spiteful with anything that she says - at least out loud, that is. she'll often make jokes with a straight face and poke fun at the "brain farts" of others, or even her own, but she never takes it to a level of outright making fun of them. she always apologizes if it is taken the wrong way, and tries her best to explain that she was only joking and it was all in fun.
scatterbrained
despite her intense focus in school and work, mei-xing is actually very forgetful in her everyday life. she'll forget to take out the trash or do laundry, or sometimes even have a good meal every now and then. she gets so focused on one thing that she almost completely forgets about everything else, and she often finds herself being reminded by others that she should really get these things done. these things that she forgets, mind you, are never vitally important to survival (excluding eating, of course), just simple things that she should really do every day.
emotional
almost everything that mei-xing does is influenced by her emotions. she cries on a regular basis, and often scolds herself for being a crybaby, and reading books, watching musics, listening to music, and anything else remotely related will change her mood quite a bit. she cries during almost every movie she watches, happy or sad, and many of her decisions can be a bit rash, and are often highly emotion-based. she may say things in the heat of the moment that she would otherwise keep to herself, and she often cries when she becomes angry, but it could be because she's embarrassed about something that she said. she often gets into a vicious cycle of crying in public, and then becoming embarrassed by this, and then simply crying more because of her embarrassment. she does have the ability to think rationally, but she really has to focus and calm down first.
likes
she actually likes a great many things, but her favorite things are scary movies on a stormy night, hot beverages (namely peppermint tea), cozy sweatshirts/sweaters, and techno music.
dislikes
mei-xing hates to be cold, or too warm, so there's a delicate balance to be found (once it's found, however, she'll most likely fall asleep). she hates mushy foods, unless it's oatmeal, and rather prefers her meals to have some texture. she doesn't like the rain, as it usually entails either cold weather or mugginess, which is never good for her hair. she hates getting up early, as well, and is much more of a night owl.
fears
she's always been afraid of the dark, but it's that special kind of darkness when you can't see anything. if it's just dark and she can still make out shapes, she'll probably be fine. but it can get to the point where she'll just curl up and cry, because she hates the unknown. she also has a fear of falling from great heights, not necessarily the heights themselves. she actually likes flying and great views, but once she looks down for too long, she'll become an anxious mess.

history
ever since she was little, mei-xing has loved animals. she grew up with pets her entire life, and never had to go a single month without some sort of non-human creature in the household. this love of animals inspired her, even from a very young age, to desire to become a veterinarian. mind you, she could never have actually performed surgery on an animal; she just doesn't have the stomach for the gore that comes with that. so she decided to explore other options, and eventually discovered a love for literature. all throughout her life, however, she has always kept that soft spot for animals, and would often bring home any stray that she happened to find, begging her parents to let her keep it. they would only occasionally say yes, depending on how many animals they already had at the time.
she lived in Beijing, China, having been born there, and had never set foot outside the country in her life until she went off to college. through hard work and determination, two things that she became incredibly good at over the years, she was accepted into tokyo university, and had learned to speak japanese fluently over the years with the hope of someday attending this school. so, divided from her parents by a body of water, and living on her own for the first time in her life, mei-xing became...quite lonely. the dormitories did not allow pets larger than those that could fit in a small tank, which barred all of her favorite household pets, namely cats and dogs. she regularly tortured herself when she had free time by strolling by pet shops and fantasizing about being able to have a pet, and what kind she would get, and generally getting way too attached to things that she could not have. she managed to get a part-time job in a nearby pet store, so she at least had the opportunity to be around animals, but it still was not as much as she wanted. After four years in college, she graduated and moved out on her own, managing to find an apartment relatively close to where she had interned later in her school life: a publishing company.
this company decided to hire her as a full-time editor in their literature department, and put her in charge of an author. unfortunately, this author was notorious for being late in regards to his deadlines, and was most likely the one no one wanted to work with. so, the unwanted job fell naturally on the newbie. she doesn't really mind it; she gets free access to all the books she works on and that are published by the company, so she always has reading material, but this leaves her with little free time. she has begun to draw into herself again, focusing only on work and largely ignoring the social side of life. while on a stroll through a market in the shinjuku district, a quiet-looking setup drew her attention, and everything changed from there.
