FEI / YOU-GAVE-US-A-GALAXY / 8/10
♚ 小龍寶 "Xiǎo Lóng Bǎo" | dragon's treasure — "xiǎo" is a term of endearment in Mandarin that means "little", "lóng" means "dragon" & "bǎo" is taken from "bǎobèi" which means "precious" or "baby". "xiǎo lóng bāo" means "dumpling" & Xue Hua likes to eat a lot so Yifan uses this nickname as a play on words. this is mostly used after Yifan realizes he likes Xue Hua.

FACE CLAIM — Kang Yu Qian
BACK UP FACE CLAIM — N/A
APPEARANCE —
♚ hair — her hair is a darker brown; almost black.
♚ eyes — when she has an on-going telepathic conversation with a dragon(s), the irises of her eyes begin to change colour, depending on who she's talking to. if she's speaking to a dragon with green scales, her irises will turn green. if she's in a group conversation, her eyes will merge the colour of the different dragons she's talking to.
there isn't a dress code for MRA so the students are allowed to wear whatever they want within reason. since Xue Hua only owns two dresses, MRA grants her two uniforms to add to her wardrobe. after Xue Hua meets Eun Sang, the pair go shopping together in the small village of the MRA servants. Xue Hua ends up buying a lovely floor-length white dress that leaves her shoulders bare. after being at MRA for a few days, Yifan notices that many of the other students wear elaborate traditional clothing, leading him to believe that, while the long white dress is alright, he wants Xue Hua to have a traditional dress as well so he buys her a blue & gold qípáo. wanting for her to fit in, Yifan insists that Xue Hua do something with her hair & buys her a gold hair-broach & pins. she usually does a braided side-bun, leaving some of her hair down.
for the night of the MRA ball, Xue Hua reveives a mysterious package in her room. inside is a red hànfú for her to wear. for the special occasion, Eun Sang does Xue Hua's hair in a hammer-bun, using ribbon & many decorations.

— WISDOM.
PAST — one day, while Yifan was returning home from a regular trip to the Eastern Coast when he discovered a small white bundle, nestled in the snow. the child seemed to have been in the cold for a while & was close to getting hypothermia so he took in the little baby girl. a name wasn't written on the blanket or on the baby's thin clothes. the dragon prince decided to name her Xue Hua because he found her in the snow. he didn't know her birthdate so he consulted the elders to estimate when she had been born. They figured that she had been born in the eighth lunar month of 1996. Yifan decided that the day would be the 15th day of the eighth lunar month; the Mid-Autumn Festival (which also happens to be Chuseok). Since they were dragons following traditional Chinese customs (meaning that they operate on the lunar calendar), he chose that particular day because even if she left the clan one day, people would always be celebrating on the day of her birth. Xue Hua grew up in Yifan's den in the Central Mountains among other dragons & the occasional dragon rider. Xue Hua saw other humans so scarcely that she hadn't even considered that she wasn't a dragon. on her eighth birthday, some of the other young dragons were making comments about Xue Hua & her perculiarities. she ended up bringing it all up with Yifan who then had to awkwardly explain, "Yer a human, Xue Hua".
MOIRA ACADEMY — one of the older students from Moira Royal Academy was sent to their den to tell them that Xue Hua was being summoned by the prophetess of MRA to enroll as a student. Xue Hua vehemently refused at first - how could she leave the only family she had ever known? especially after they had taken her in though she was human. Yifan agreed that if she went, he would also go, corresponding with the other dragon leaders via telepathy & monthly meetings. they left their homely cave (Yifan bringing as much of his "treasures" as he could carry) to become students at MRA. though Xue Hua was assigned a room, she refused to stay there because Yifan couldn't stay with her. all of Yifan's collections are stored in the dorm room instead, while she sleeps in the large barn that houses all sorts of creatures at MRA.
Note: I'm holding out on some details so that this part will be a bit of a surprise for you guys to anticipate!
♚ self-defense — Yifan worries about Xue Hua when she's around other humans wihout him because he doesn't trust humans much. he has taught her self-defense for when she goes to the markets near their cave (because he can't go with her - he'd knock down the villages/cause mass-panic because of his body-size).
♚ spells — as a child, she was given a necklace with a long rainbow moonstone crystal with a dragon wrapped around it & various runes carved in it to protect her. she was a curious child & wanted to know more about runes. Yifan ended up teaching her about how to cast spells with runes (since it is one of the few ways a mortal can cast temporary spells). she can only cast very basic spells. for her 16th birthday, Yifan gave her a small leaether pouch containing a few basic runestones made of rainbow moonstone, handmade by Yifan himself.
♚ fire-resitance — Xue Hua can't be burned by any type of fire other than Dragon Fire (the hottest burning fire).
TRIVIA —
♚ languages — with Yifan being a very old dragon who like to travel & encounters many different cultures, he has learned many different languages. Xue Hua is only fluent in Mandarin & English but she has a very basic understanding of many languages thanks to Yifan.
♚ here — here
♚ snow — though she was only a baby, she remembers the cold that she endured. she hated it when she was a child, not really understanding why. she gets her answer after Yifan had tells her about how he found her. she then sees snow as a sign of rejection, of abandonment.
♚here — here
♚ hide-&-go-seek — Xue Hua has liked this game ever since she was a toddler. she finds it especially fun because she is quite small (in comparison to Yifan) & can hide quite well.
♚ 五子棋 "wǔzǐqí" — kind of like connect-4 but with 5 stones (or in Yifan's case, boulders). there is a large plateau in the Qīngchéng Mountains where Yifan carved a large board into the stone for them to play. there are large boulders for the dragons to play with & small stones for Xue Hua to play with. Xue Hua doesn't usually win against the older dragons but is quite good against dragons her age.
♚ riddles — for the Mid-Autumn Festival, people tie riddles to their lanterns & have people try to guess the answer. Yifan writes one for Xue Hua each year. Xue Hua tries to write one for Yifan but he always guesses the answer by the next day.
♚ here — here.
FAMILY —
♚ guardian | 吴亦凡/Kris | 吴亦凡 (EXO) | dragon | 125 | dorky, protective, jealous
Yifan has been Xue Hua's guardian for the past 18 years & as a result, they're quite close. they've seen the worst parts of the other & act like siblings. they don't have the perfect relationship, fighting at times & with Xue Hua rebelling against him when she wants to be more independent at MRA. Yifan realizes that he's in love with Xue Hua when she begins to pull away, falling for someone else.
♚ half brother | 鹿晗 (최승철) | 鹿晗 (EXO) | half-witch | 26 | patient, vain, stubborn
the pair don't know they're half-siblings. Luhan is a very kind person & due to this, Xue Hua begins to fall in love with him. Luhan doesn't return her romantic feelings, however. eventually, Xue Hua realizes that she actually is in love with her big, dumb guardian. later on, she finds out that she is related to Luhan. gross.
FRIENDS —
♚ close friend | 배은상 | 이혜리 (Girl's Day) | unicorn | 100 | quiet, sweet, timid
Xue Hua met Eun Sang the first night that she & Yifan stay in the MRA stables where she's lodged with the other equines. she is one of the few unicorns left in the world after they were hunted down by humans for their horns. she was startled at first when she met Xue Hua but calmed when she noticed that Yifan was also present because she knows that dragons were hunted in the past too but for their claws & scales. even in human form, she can't hide her horn & wears a circlet that sits just below her horn.
OTHERS —
♚ temporary love rival | 王貂蝉/Mariwen 樊 | "Angelababy" 杨颖 | dhampire | 1,766 | mature, flirtatious, domineering
they clash a little when it comes to vying for Luhan's affections but the two still remain as friends. it becomes clear that Luhan has feelings toward Mariwen around the time that Xue Hua realizes she's in love with her lizard.

NICKNAMES —
♛ 哥哥 "Gēge" — it just means "older brother".
♛ Kris — the name he gives his human form when he begins classes at MRA.
PERSONALITY —
♛ jealous, rigid, paternalistic
expand on those traits starting here. 2 paragraphs are recommended for this section.
PAST — a long time ago, dragons were feared by humans. the two races, couldn't reconcile so there were attacks from both sides. Yifan had been born in the mountains of the Southeastern Coast (Xīqiáo Mountain, Guǎngdōng, China). when Yifan was still a fledgling, an army of humans from the city attacked. most of the dragons of his clan were killed, including his parents, so Yifan had to flee. he travelled as far as he could manage at his age & ended up at Qīngchéng Mountain where he was taken in by an existing dragon clan. after years of living there, he became the leader of the clan.
though Yifan was afraid & distrusted humans, he often would make trips to the Eastern Coast (South Korea), transforming into his human form before going out into the society. he has travelled all over the continent because he has found that he enjoys travelling. he hasn't formed any friendships in the places that he's travelled.
POWERS —
♛ heightened senses — hearing, night-vision, smell (it when someone needs to bathe but refuses to), etc.
♛ fire-breathing, flight — he can't do either when he's sick. he also can't spew fire non-stop; that stuff is hot & can ruin his esophogus if he uses it too much.
TRIVIA —
FIRST MEETING — Yifan found Xue Hua as a baby in the snow on his way back from the Eastern Coast. at first, he considered abandoning the human child but realized that he saw himself in her - alone & in need of a family. he brought her back to the clan in the Qīngchéng Mountains, convincing them that she could stay with them because she had no one else in the world. for a while, thought of raising Xue Hua as an obligation, since there was nowhere else for her to go & he would feel immense guilt for allowing an innocent child to die when he could prevent it. when the pair travel to Moira Academy & Xue Hua meets a bunch of handsome men, even beginning to become friends with them & then falling for Seungcheol, Yifan realizes that his feelings of love for Xue Hua aren't simply platonic.
RELATIONSHIP — Yifan & Xue Hua act as friends or like siblings because he raised her (with some help from the elders of the clan, of course). neither consider falling in love with each other. they can be playful, sarcastic or even have fights. when Yifan tries to exercise authority over Xue Hua as her guardian, she gets upset & choses to stay in the dorm room provided for her that she doesn't sleep in because she usually stays with him in the barn. she also gets angry at him after he "disappears", trying to call out to him telepathically. he answers but is vague about his whereabouts because he is acutally the "new student", Kris.
CONCLUSION — Xue Hua finally realizes that her "prince charming" isn't even human; he's the guy who has been with her the whole way. he has seen the good, the bad & the ugly of Xue Hua & she knows who he really is too. she forgives her family for abandoning her all those years ago but she wants to stay with Yifan & she wants to keep her name that he gave to her. Xue Hua's nickname, "Xiao long bao", has a whole new meaning after they become a couple (because she really has become his treasure).
FAMOUS LAST WORDS — this is the amount of detail I'd prefer people to have in their apps. I've already spent many hours on this application even though my character is guaranteed a spot (since I'm the author). I've done research on name meanings, mountains in China, Chinese games, finding the perfect pictures, finding a nice face claim, etc.
SCENE SUGGESTIONS —
♚ Xue Hua sees Yifan's human form for the first time but Xue Hua doesn't realize that he's Yifan because she hadn't seen it before. he attempts to charm her.
♚ MRA holds a masquerade ball for the students.
♚ Xue Hua unknowingly meets her long-lost brother (& accidentally falls in love with him), Choi Seungcheol.
