LOOKS

FACE CLAIM Liu Yifei
BACK UP Yang Mi

APPEARANCE Xiaxue looks like the face claim used except a few things. She has a few minor, but barely visible small scars upon her fingertips from years of practicing on the pipa and on the guzheng. Xiaxue has a small and thin scar on the lower left jawline when her father threw a cup at her accidentally in slight irritation of when she was around nine because she had missed a few notes while learning a new piece on the instruments and he had a very bad day earlier due to work.

HEIGHT 168cm
WEIGHT 49kg

STYLE / FASHION Xiaxue wears hanfu clothing. She doesn't particularly have a style per se except for what her parents would usually pick out for her to wear that day, even if she was content with owning one or two or just simple ones. Of course her parents thought otherwise and would gift her with lovely ones for her birthday or for a special occasion as she needed presentable clothing when performing. The same with the status of her family as her father is a respected man of the King's army. Still though it's not like she really cares for them as clothes were just clothes to her, but if it makes her parents happy for her to be dressed like so then she's willing to please them as much as possible. Of course, there are times when she's home and away from the public eyes, she would wear basic and simple clothing.

DEEPEST SECRETS.
PERSONA

PERSONALITY Xiaxue's pretty much the girl next door and is down to earth when you get to know her. She's polite, respectful, graceful, and handles things with calmness before engaging in any sort of affairs unless provoked. Xiaxue goes with the flow without making too much of a fuss as long as it isn't an inconvenience to her or others. She's reserve and observant majority of the time and likes to take in her surrounding, and watch the scenery and enjoys the silence. She speaks when spoken to and is always polite and tries to be friendly with the other party. Again, Xiaxue only engages if necessary, but prefers to keep to herself more than anything. Xiaxue's also a person who is loyal and doesn't betray someone's trust and is not that easily influenced by others. Xiaxue hardly gets upsets or voices her concerns, but when she does, she usually lets the other person or those around her know to let her be by being cold and indifferent or very short in her responses. It's one of the few things Xiaxue doesn't want people to see her as since it's a very emotional side of her she feels slightly ashamed of. Not a confrontational person, but if she's feels wronged, then she doesn't mind standing up for herself and those that are unable to do so.

BACKGROUND Xiaxue had a quiet yet contented childhood. She learned many things from her father and her mother to which not many kids her age would have learned as well as probably of her gender, too. Xiaxue's only friends were basically her mother and father growing up as well as any of the critters that scampered around her home. She was quite fond of the animals she came across. Other than that, maybe she knew and became associated with a few acquaintances from the pubs and other gatherings where she frequented with her mother, Feng Xiuying, when asked to play the pipa or guzheng. Her father, Bai Gaoyu, was once a revered soldier protecting the borders of Qing from Versailles where the family of three resided until an accident kept him at bay and not physically needed. Although he was deemed respected, her father talks about the good old days and wished he could be fully capable again.

Xiaxue never complained of the life she lived or how she grew up there after, and complied to her parents to make things as convenient as possible. Although she cannot write, but Xiaxue is able to read of sorts despite it mainly being of musical notes and relations. Xiaxue memorizes words and the lettering though and if given the chance, finds these things interesting and hope to one day maybe learn to write and read properly. Due to her father's connections with the army, she has on several occasions traveled with him and her mother to the borders that separate Qing and Versailles. She has interacted with the locals and even picked up on the language since young until her father's shift is over. This has also given Gaoyu the chance to teach his daughter some basic skills to protect herself as he has no other kids and cherishes Xiaxue dearly. As for Xiuying, she taught Xiaxue all that she knows herself to one day be able to provide for her own self. Like cooking, cleaning, washing, and among other things.

RELATIONS

FATHER Bai Gaoyu, was once a part of the Qing's army, but due to an accident, he was no longer physically needed or could provide further assistance with active duty. This is due to him becoming handicap with a limp and missing an eye. Still, the Qing's army kept Gaoyu on as more like an advisor of sorts due to his quick-wits, smarts, and loyalty over the years.

MOTHER Feng Xiuying, was once a popular traveling musician, but retired after getting married to Gaoyu. She now only plays for her husband, daughter, and entertaining guests if needed or necessary. She mostly takes on private lessons to help with secondary income after her husband is no longer active in the army. If no lessons, then she'll teach at the schools upon requests. Xiaxue learned the two instruments from her mother.

MOTHER HWANG Ends up playing the middle party of connecting Xiaxue with the Imperial Prince Kenan upon Kenan's request. Is reminded Hwang of how Xiaxue's situation is quite similar to one of her parents as that is how Gaoyu and Xiuying met which was due to Xiuying's music playing many years ago that captivated Gaoyu's attention.

DEEPEST PASSIONS.
THE LOVER

LOVE INTEREST NAME Imperial Prince Kenan

FACE CLAIM Cem Yiğit Üzümoğlu
BACK UP none

APPEARANCE Just like the face claim and how you have him portrayed.

PERSONALITY Kenan is the type to see it to believe it as well as the one that trusts his guts the most when at odds with others. Kenan observes his surrounding and others and hardly plays his cards off the bat until it works in his kingdom's favor. Kenan hardly second guess himself nor is he easily persuaded by others. Kenan is loyal until loyalty runs thin when the bond is broken. Kenan is not ruthless, heartless nor cold, but if things are not in his favor, he will shift decisions he sees best that will work for him and the kingdom's future.

THE LOVE STORY

LOVE STORY It's honestly hard to say if there is some type of love between the two. Kenan fell for Xiaxue's beauty and graceful music playing. There was just something about the way she played that attracted him compared to other musicians. Xiaxue was appreciative of Kenan's attentiveness to her yet she had no romantic feelings towards him. She only accepted his proposal due to her parents having a comfortable life without struggles.

RELATIONSHIP Oddly enough, Kenan is quite patient with Xiaxue and takes his time in getting to know her. Kenan even teaches her Keli and she teaches Ren of similar words. Over time, they bond and grow close. Kenan just seems to be more infatuated, but again, Xiaxue doesn't have any sort of romantic feelings for him, but she does sort of see her father in him with his military knowledge and strong protector-like aura.

DEEPEST PASSIONS.
THE LOVER

LOVE INTEREST NAME Prince Ryusuke

FACE CLAIM Iwata Takanori
BACK UP none

APPEARANCE Just like the face claim and how you have him portrayed.

PERSONALITY Ryusuke is the type to uphold that things are fair and just, holding people accountable and that each do the responsible thing. Although for himself that is an entirely different matter when this isn't the life that was meant for him yet here he was. Ryusuke hardly takes things lightly and doesn't have quite a sense of humor. Still, he is a man of his word and honors it. Ryusuke takes all things and people into account and from different prespective while deciding after analyzing the best outcome for his kingdom.

THE LOVE STORY

LOVE STORY Again, not sure if there is some sort of love between them, but maybe it could be just a sort of affection or maybe some kindred spirits of sorts. Just like Kenan, Ryusuke fell for Xiaxue's beauty and graceful music playing. Yet Ryusuke knew that she belonged to another man, and Xiaxue knows that herself. Still, Xiaxue feels there's something different about Ryusuke's attentiveness that is quite different than that of Kenan's. Xiaxue ends up thinking often of Ryusuke, even if she's in the arms of Kenan.

RELATIONSHIP At first, and some time after that, there really isn't much of a relationship. Over time, however, their paths cross more often than either party likes. Despite not being able to converse with one another, by looks and tentative skinship, it seems to convey more than words could ever explain. This at times does cause friction between Xiaxue and Kenan, but she and Ryusuke's are nothing more than acquaintances.

OVERALL

AESTHETICS

Music, nature, and the simplisticity of life is what Xiaxue has always been surrounded by. It's familiar. It's soothing. It's a way for her to convey things and cherish the feelings in the simple moments of life. Of course she knows of other things outside of it, but if she only focused on what matters to her most, then life isn't always so dark.

LASTLY

QUESTIONS

Do the princes have any magic of their own?
Is Liu Yifei as a faceclaim with the age I wrote for Xiaxue okay?
