I adopted Lin-Lin from the talented Silver-Fox-Princess
I'm really happy she made a Chinese character for me to adopt because I am quite interested in Chinese culture. Lin-Lin's personality is strongly inspired by the "Chinese princess" character of the Youtuber Tingting ASMR.

I have more important art to do... but I needed this as vent art ;^;

Name: Rai Lin-Lin (Lín Lín, 雷琳琳)

Nickname(s): Princess Lin-Lin, Young Princess, Lin

Gender: female

Species: human

Orgin (can be a country, game, show or movie): Bing-Ki-Shun

DOB: November 21st

Age: 10

Sexual Orientation: unknown

-Physical-

Hair color: jet black

Eye color: black

Most Common Outfit (what outfit do you draw them in the most): A simple Manchu dress (qi pao or cheongsam) in private, elaborate hanfu when on duty in court in any way, shape or form.

Accessories/Items: Cute hair decs out of real gold and jewels

Extra: Is considered quite attractive even for her young age and is promising to grow into a beauty

-Personal-

Family: Her parents are the Emperor and Empress of Bing-Ki-Shun, Rai Wen Qing (wén qīng, 文青) and Rai Lan Ai (lán ài,兰艾) and Lin Lin loves and honours them both with a passion. She had two older siblings who tragically died when the city was under siege, and so she understands it as her duty to act in their stead always. This was only furthered when she finally became the elder sister first of a little boy and then of cute twin sisters. The boy’s name is Yuyan (yǔ yān, 语嫣) and the twins are Zhu-Zhu (zhū zhū, 珠珠) and Lu-Lu (lù lù, 琭琭). She is very devoted to them and is determined to always be the perfect role model.

Friend(s): Because of how mature she is, Lin-Lin gets along better with grownups than she does with people her own age. However, she happily associates and spends time with her ladies-in-waiting and the daughters of Imperial officials.

Best Friend (If they have one): Her best friend is eleven-year old Miao Xue (miáo xuě, 苗雪) who is the daughter of a young official. Xue is very shy and only opens up around Lin-Lin.

Love Interest(s)/Crush(es): n/a

Personality: Lin-Lin is a calm, poised person, but she is very perceptive and actually quite extroverted. Some mistake her for shy or overly sensitive because of how calm and sympathetic she is, when she really is anything but. She is mature and responsible and tries to act in the best interest of her family and her empire, while at the same time never failing to be generous and considerate. She would consider it a great failure and an embarrassment to herself and the Rai family if she couldn’t provide the latter virtues. She is good at reading people and is very compassionate. Her general mood is a subdued happiness. Furthermore, she is scholarly and enjoys learning about her empire’s history and culture to understand her people better and one day be a kind, wise, and gracious ruler herself. Guests tend to be surprised at how elegant she is at tea ceremony. While generally preferring more sedate activities, she also enjoys her daily qi gong lessons as well as picking out flowers for flower arrangements.

-Likes/Dislikes-

Favorite. . .

Food: zha jiang mian (noodles with soybean paste), jīnyú xìlián (shrimp chips with egg)

Flower: peony, camellia, cherry blossom

Color: pink and red

Place: the Imperial Palace and the surrounding park and zoological garden

Least Favorite. . .

Food: yáng shuāngcháng (goat’s intestine filled with blood)

Flower: lily-of-the-valley; she accidentally poisoned herself with them at a young age

Color: black, grey

Place: tight spaces; she’s claustrophobic

History: Everyone knew Lin-Lin was special when she was born on what the Imperial astronomers considered the luckiest day of the year. She grew up lapped in luxury and was the spoiled darling of both her parents and her older siblings. However, when she was only five, a nomadic tribe tried to invade Bing-Ki-Shun and made it up to the capital, which they held under siege. Lin-Lin’s older brother Luhan (lú hán, 卢寒) rode into battle as an officer and was tragically killed. Her older sister Wei-Wei (wēi wēi, 微微) then came into their camp for peace negotiations but was kidnapped and never heard of again. The army eventually managed to fight the nomads off, but no trace of Wei-Wei was ever found. She is presumed dead. This day shocked Lin-Lin so deeply that she never quite recovered from it, yet, instead of mourning in fear for the rest of her life, she decided to step up and be strong for her parents’ sake and for her siblings’ memory. She is a strong advocate for peace and diplomacy and holds no ill feelings toward the current chief of the nomads, who was not in office when the siege happened. She always tries to be strong in a tender, supportive kind of way and rarely harbours any ill feelings toward anyone, however, sometimes it exhausts her trying to be so perfect and always doing what is right for everybody. If that happens, she decides to stay in her private chambers for a day or two. Then, too, she won’t be lazy, instead she will read books, either her country’s old classic literature and poetry, or nonfiction on culture, history, politics, geography, and other topics that a ruler should know about. Her mother especially sometimes is concerned that Lin-Lin studies so much and even acts as a diplomat and ambassador at her young age, so she will see to it that her daughter has enough time in the day to have fun. Lin-Lin’s favourite pastimes, other than tea ceremony with her parents or guests, include flower arrangements, at which she is quite apt, painting, playing the liuqin, and composing poetry. Since she seems very self-reliant, is from the richest family in the country, and is so generous and expects nothing back from anyone, people don’t generally try to pay her back in any way. Therefore, she is all the happier to have a friend in the shy, sensitive Xue, whom she doesn’t only give things in the form of presents or lectures in etiquette, music, dance, deportment, etc., but also receives things in the form of emotional support. Xue always senses when things are getting too much for Lin-Lin, and opts to distract her with a game or with reading a story to her, and comforts Lin-Lin when she thinks she made a wrong decision. Xue’s lack of status was never a problem for Lin-Lin, she doesn’t differentiate between people because of their wealth or class, but sees everyone (but criminals) as an equally necessary part in the machinery that is their empire, and firmly believes that everyone deserves all the support they need in every aspect of their lives. Lin-Lin has already been able to get her father to open free schools all around the Empire so that more people have an education and the Imperial Court will have the smartest, most qualified people to help them. She hopes to get him to exempt the poor from paying taxes in the near future. Even though she is a practicing and devout Buddhist, she wants to introduce religious freedom as soon as she becomes Empress.
