Personality
Likes (3+)
Candy: Nothing says sweet tooth and cavities like a love for anything candy based.
Knowledge: Xing loves her books like she likes her men; Well spoken and well read.
Adventure: A bit of a trouble maker, when the chance to venture around the school or elsewhere arises, she's usually the first to join the group.
Dislikes (3+):
Wise asses: She doesn't take too nicely to sarcasm and those who are snide just for the sake of it.
Being kept up: She near literally goes insane when kept locked up for long periods at a time. She needs her freedom.
Water: Xing has a morbid fear of water and swimming for whatever strange reason she won't divulge.
Skills (3+):
Fast footed: Quick on her feet, at the draw of a wand or flinging a spell.
Ninja: Fairly good at keeping herself well hidden; especially when she has no desire to be found.
Good Listener: Despite being a Slytherin she has the kindness and patience to hear almost anyone out and give her feedback on the situation; good or bad.
Weaknesses (3+):
Hard headed: When she gets something in her head, she's almost too stubborn to stop. Even if its for her own good.
Lovestruck: Xing can become infatuated fairly easily and wears her heart on her sleeve, dreaming of the day someone will come sweep her off her feet.
Bad liar: Like it is, a terrible liar even if its to save her own skin. Usually able to see through her inability to make eyecontact or constant nervous giggles.
Character Description:
Dark brown locks were often done into a single, large braid that hung over either shoulder, ribbons braided into it for decoration. Even softer brown eyes were framed by long, thick lashes and set into a heart shaped face. Ivory skin hidden away by common school uniform of green and silver. Body was average, lithe for a girl her size, a sign that she might not be eating properly. But even as one would try to get closer, they'd just be met by the slapping of shoe soles as the girl fled.
Personality/Beliefs Outline:
Xing is somewhat torn between believing in the Christian faith and being an athiest entirely. Her point of view is that how can you truly belive in something if you've never actually SEEN it? Personality wise Xing can be described by those that don't know her too well as being withdrawn or even shy. Around those she knows fairly well, she's a bit of the opposite and more of an open book.

Although a single child, Xing was never truly spoiled by her parents and was rather raised humbly, leading to her rather gentle nature. A lover of everything magical, when her letter from Hogwarts came she was shipped off near immediately and enthusiastically with the desire to become all that she truly could in the wizarding world.
