Hobbies: Pole Dance || Qianyue has worked a lot of jobs in his life to make ends meet, and while he's never actually done pole dance onstage, he's certainly worked at gentlemen's clubs where he met women who did. He was impressed by the strength and effort that it took to do what they did, so he started going to classes and found that it was great exercise for him. Plus, the class he goes to is full of nice, supportive people. For an hour a week, it's his anchor.
Yoga || Qianyue's more calming, grounding physical hobby, and a little easier to do at home. He's taken classes int he past, but if he goes to any these days, it's mostly just for socialization. Generally, part of Qianyue's morning routine is running a quick set of yoga stretches, and he'd gladly swear that he can't get by without them.
Water Gardens || Something Qianyue really only started recently, since his mother's marriage. Her new husband loves koi ponds and water gardens, and Qianyue has found that he enjoys them too. Tending to the plants, feeding the fish, making sure everything stays clean and lovely--it's work, yes, but it's deeply enjoyable work.
Virtues: Protective || Qianyue cares very deeply about those close to him. He is, thus, very protective of them. While he generally won't go to bat for himself, not openly, he will for the people he loves, and even if it's polite, it will be the most smiling-faced dressing down someone has ever received. Qianyue looks after those he cares about, and will do whatever it takes to make sure they're happy, well, and safe.
Placid || Qianyue is really good at letting things appear to roll off him. Problems, insults, bad days, whatever; he'll meet them all with a polite smile and a calm affect. Really, it wasn't so bad; really, it's all relative; really, not the worst customer he's ever dealt with! It's all fine, and Qianyue refuses to allow anyone to see him sweat.
Flaws:Resentful || It may appear that Qianyue lets insults, slights, or other poor behavior directed towards him slide, and he works very hard to maintain this image. To your face, he will smile and nod and pretend that it's all well, forgive and forget. In truth, though? Qianyue is very much the
resent and remember type. He will hold onto slights for
years, waiting for the exact correct moment to get his revenge. It will be thorough, ruinous, and most importantly, you'll never know it was him.
Cynical || Nice things do not happen to Qianyue, and when they do, he has trouble accepting them at face value. Or at all. His life has not been easy, and when something seems suspiciously good or suspiciously convenient or....basically anything pleasant, Qianyue tends to assume that either it's fake or it will swiftly be taken away. The only positive constants in his life are his mother and his son; everything else is likely to sour, as far as he's concerned.
