Description
Yes, I was actually bored enough to personify Chinese cities during my time there. Someone shoot me.

I would never submit this if I hadn't been asked, really.
Oh, the things can get me to do.

*shot*

* * * *

Shanghai- One of the youngest cities. Fashionable, intelligent and open-minded, she has a keen business sense and loves techonology. She and Beijing are arguably the most well-known of Chinese cities - heck, her name has become a verb.
Lately, she's been followed around by a strange blue creature apparently named Haibao.

Beijing- Opinionated, powerful, emotional, and slightly arrogant. While not the most patient of characters, Beijing is a proud and determined individual. Politics interest him greatly.
He's known for being accompanied by the Fuwa (Friendlies), but they haven't been sighted around as of late.

Xi'an- The elderly man of the group. As he was the capital city for an extremely long time, he's somewhat bitter towards Beijing for taking the position, but understands that he can't to much about it. Proud of his long history, but makes sure to modernize as well.

Yixing- "Teapot City". Often mistaken for the opposite sex, Yixing is soft-spoken and hardworking, yet also patient and laid-back. She doesn't let things get to her easily.

Hangzhou- While phenomenally beautiful in her younger years, some say that Hangzhou nowadays tries to hard to be "flashy" and popular, overconcerning herself with commercial things and the like, and becoming less "natural" in the process.
She's good with enduring heat.

Guangdong- Androgynous and rather incomprehensible to some of the others, Guangdong is famous for her willingness to cook and eat anything from snakes to horses to dogs. She has slight kleptomaniacal tendencies and is thought of as having vaguely looser morals than most.
She's separated from Hong Kong by just a river, and so is considerably affected by what happens there.
As her people were the first to immigrate to the U.S. (and help build the Transcontinental Railroad), most Americans mistake her local dialect, Cantonese, as actual (Mandarin) Chinese.
"Gong hay fat choy", anyone?

Jingdezhen- "City of Ceramics". Old-fashioned, though fairly kind.
He likes spicy food, though not as much as Sichuan (not pictured).

Huangshan- Older than most of the others, Huangshan is named after the mountain he lives next to. Physically strong and hardy despite relative isolation. Or something. *brick'd*
