personality.  

(Dynamic, Witty, Lovable) ; Bolin's personality is one that could be compared to the light at the tip of the Luxor; it is bright and can be seen from miles away. She can is loud, especially when she gets excited about something. It's a stereotype that because she is a beautiful girl that she can't have much going on in the brain department, but Bolin is actually pretty smart and has a witty sense of humor; she loves stupid, punny jokes and finds ways to weave them in whenever she can (example). Bolin is a lovable girl, probably because she is so playful and fun-loving. She is sweet, which makes it easy to love her.

(Sentimental, Maternal, Spiritual) ; The smallest things mean a lot to Bolin and she tends to hold onto them. She has a box of all the cards she's received from her family that she keeps underneath her bed. Even though she is still pretty young, Bolin has high maternal instincts and she jokes that little kids are her jam as she does really well with them. As it relates to the group, Bolin is very motherly towards the other members and will take care of them whenever and however she can. She does not subscribe to any particular label of a religion (though if she had to pick one, she'd probably pick Buddhist), but she is a spiritual person; her highest priority is loving herself and others and doing what she can to live a happy, healthy life and helping those around her also obtain that life.

(Childish, Disorganized, Obnoxious) ; Bolin is a childish person and at times that becomes very grating and obnoxious to others around her. At times, it is hard for her to know when to stop joking around. She is disorganized and tends to have a messy room, but she knows how to find her things amongst the chaos. She can be viewed as obnoxious because of how childish she is, those around her being tired of her antics, but she can also be viewed that way because she's a tad cocky in her looks. She'll look for opportunities to show off to garner attention.

background.  

Bolin grew up in Hong Kong with no real intentions of being an idol. She has always been tall; even as a young child people would always comment on how tall she was. Being tall, she also had a natural affinity for sports. She played soccer as a young child and then fell in love with volleyball in middle and high school. During this time, she danced at a local studio, but it was really only for exercise and fun. She was good, but she never really thought she could be a professional, or even be known for her dancing, nor was she sure she really wanted to be. She planned to go to university and continue to play volleyball, and then hopefully become a professional player. She auditioned for JYP on a whim with some prodding from her friends, a last bout of spontaneity before commiting to volleyball. She knew she didn't have a strong voice, and she could dance, but was it really "idol quality?" Unless they wanted to see a top-spin jump serve, her looks were really the only option, so she auditioned to be a model. Still, they asked her to sing something and dance for them. It was...fun, exhilerating even, nearly as exhilerating as landing a spike between a wall of blockers. But when they didn't say anything at first and dismissed her just like they did everyone else, she didn't really expect much. Two weeks later, she received a call, asking her to become a trainee. She didn't know what to do; sure, if she had been rejected it would've been no big deal and she would've continued on the path she had already decided for herself. But, now she actually had another option. A once in a lifetime option. She confided in her father, her true best friend and most trusted confidant. He told her that volleyball will always be there, but this opportunity might not be. After their conversation, she jumped from the metaphorical cliff and accepted the offer from JYP.

relationships.  

– Mom :: Chu Meixin (45) / Co-Owner of a small restaurant / Kind, Semi-Tiger mom, Hardworking / They have a close relationship; Bolin has always been pushed by her mom in everything that she does. Her mom's favorite saying is "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right," and 'right' always means giving your all and not giving up.

– Father :: Yu Chenbo (51) / Co-Owner of a small restaurant / Soft-Spoken, Goofy, Reliable / Bolin is a total daddy's girl. He is truly her best friend. She leans on him whenever she is in trouble or needs help with anything and he is always there for her.

– Friend :: Hana (19) / olympia member / daring, sarcastic, loud / Aside from Jackson, Hana was Bolin's first real friend in Korea. They both have a similar sense of humor and can be very loud, so they bonded quite quickly. Bolin trusts Hana with pretty much anything, which is proven by the fact that Hana was the one that forced Bolin to go to the dentist when she chipped a tooth and stayed to hold her hand while it was being fixed.

trainee life.  Bolin auditioned for JYP during Hong Kong auditions in 2010. When she auditioned, her aim was to be signed as a model. During the audition, the representatives for JYP wanted to see more. They asked her to sing and dance as well. Her vocals were lacking, but since she had a good foundation for dance and was stunning, she passed and they asked her to become a trainee. 

Trainee life was difficult for Bolin. It was the first time that she lived away from her parents on top of being her first time to live abroad. She had to adjust to a completely new culture, new language, and new food. She was homesick often and she was constantly tired or sore from day-long training sessions. Oddly enough, dancing became her mental escape; despite the physical pain she felt, she would find time in the day to just shut her mind off and just move the way her body wanted to move. She was able to get through the hard times, and became a powerful dancer in the process.

last words.  I thought it'd be funny and a bit different to write the love interest portion from Bolin's point of view; I hope you found it as entertaining as I did. I also added a little trivia part to that section so I hope that's cool ^^

scenes requests.

– Got7xOlympia crossover; 2PM had their show, Got7 had IGot7 and Got7ing. It would be pretty cool if they had their own mini-show of all of them together completing missions and playing games
– Maybe JYP rounds up its athle-dols and has them appear on Cool Kiz on the Block (a sports/entertainment show-- I'm not sure if you're familiar with it ^^)
– Bolin has an allergic reaction to something she ate, not knowing shrimp and mullosks were used to season the broth, and Jackson freaks out
– Cute JacksonXBolin moments 
– some OlympiaXJYP interactions :P
– Any and all OlympiaXGot7 moments 
– Olympia on Weekly Idol
– Any instance where Bolin is mocked for her height
