Appearance. 
♡ — The looks... Relatively average height for a woman of Oriental descent. Long hair, often wavy or dead straight. Originally was black/dark brown but she ended up dying it magenta. Brown eyes and a bright smile. She prefers to wear simple clothes like shirts, jeans and sneakers but on occasiona will wear something a bit fancier or embellished. She's of an average weight, perhaps just a bit under as she does a lot of physical activity. Her hair is quite long,coming to just under her ribs until she cuts and dyes it. She is always smiling though as she seems perpetually happy.

    
♡ — A certain look is all it takes.  She has a very casual and simplistic style most of the time and rarely wears any shoes apart from Converse. She likes tight skinny jeans and large tees or singlets. Cardigans are often over-sized and she's often seens with a large slouchy bag draped over one shoulder. She tends to drift towards acid-wash denims mostly and dislikes wearing the colour black too much.

♡ — This is the real me...
   
Personality traits. Cheerful, energetic, a little bit of a space cadet, humorous, silly
♡ — I always knew I was one of a kind... Lin is very bubbly and energetic and enjoys laughing a lot. She likes to act silly in order to make other people laugh. She's very optimistic and is very much so the Happy Virus/Vitamin of the group. However, she's quite vain and has actually listed one of her hobbies as posing in front of the mirror. She also enjoys taking selcas and hotobombing other people's photos and is quite lazy, preferring to laze in bed on a day off. She's also very emotional; for example if her group would win an award, she'd probably burst into tears immediately.
♡ — On stage. On stage Lin is quite fierce and cheeky and has a lot of attitude. She likes to embrace the album concept as much as possible but either and every way, she ends up adding a bit of sass no matter what. She's very expressive and admits to loving being on stage.
♡ — Off stage.  Off stage is the same as her actual personality.

♡ — The history I made...
Background.
♡ — The beginning of a beautiful soul's life... Lin was born in Shanghai to Chinese parents. Her grandmother is Chinese and her grandfather is Chinese-Japanese. When she was five, her mother gave birth to Lin's baby brother Zhou Yi Han. Lin grew up learning traditional fan dances and ballet. She started singing at a young age but originally showed interest in becoming a teacher. Around the age of fifteen/sixteen, she was scouted whilst on a holiday in South Korea with her family. Once they were back in China, Lin ended up finishing that year of her schooling before moving to South Korea with Top Media's assistance.

Along side her traditional dance practices and ballet, Lin also played volleyball and tennis and was a part of her school's student council.
♡ — My dear family... Lin is very family orientated. She writes fortnightly letters to her family in China and often encloses a present of sorts for Yi Han. She adores her parents and is always worrying over her grandparents. Every chance she gets, she likes to go out and about Seoul and various provinces and film it to send home for a family Christmas

Stage name. Lin
Persona. The China Doll
Trainee Year(s). 4.5
Trainee Experience.
♡ — Lin began training when she was around 15 turning 16 years old. At first she struggled because she only knew basic Korean but she improved rapidly throughout her trainee life. She enjoyed the vocal lessons the most and had some sort of older-sister syndrome towards the younger and/or newer trainees. Outside of her normal language lessons, she often taught some Mandarin or Japanese to Korean trainees in exchange for tips on learning Korean. She liked the dance classes and her flexiblity from traditional Chinese and ballet often helped her out. However, Lin often suffered from homesickness, particularly severely during the first year of her trainee life, and she was often found with a picture of her family on her phone or in her bag.
