» [ off & on camera ] Off camera, Daxia is rather quiet and introverted, preferring to be the person who listens in the conversation rather than the person who talks the most. She would be asked many questions (“why are you so quiet?” or “are you okay?”) simply because of the wallflower appearance she has and the lack of emotion she has on her face. She isn’t really sad most of the time - which people assume she is - but she just doesn’t have any point of smiling all the time, along with the fact that her true personality only appears when she’s with the people she’s close to. Always polite to the people she meets; she’s quite perceptive, always noting other people’s actions and can effortlessly tell who’s lying to her and who’s not. She’s usually the first one to find out secrets by reading people like a book when they interact with another, but doesn’t go about telling anyone - she simply accepts the fact and will move on. On camera, she has a strong stage presence, a 360 degree change from her quiet persona off camera.  Her almost nonexistent charisma off stage appears subconsciously and will seep into her dancing and singing. On variety shows, she’s quite funny with her witty and sarcastic humor and would be asked to act sassy and talk in English (a bit like Brian Joo on the variety shows). Despite all this, she doesn’t like too much attention on her, only talking when spoken to or asked to, nicknamed “the quiet one” compared to other members. If insulted or criticized, her feelings don’t show, not one bit, and she keeps closed, taking in the burden without complaints; afterwards, she would work harder to become better. It’s her way to get revenge - by success.

» [ it's female intuition ] She’s an old soul. Due to the strict family environment she grew up with and her grandmother practically raising her, she’s more mature than what most people act like at her age. She listens to music that her grandmother listens to and enjoys being around older people than younger people. She understands things better than most people and is level-headed, rarely ever getting mad and would be told that she talks mature for her age. She has a unique view of the world; she sees how people really act like when they think that no one’s looking and see the world for how it is, all the good and the bad, and doesn’t judge. But along with this trait of having an old soul, along comes her female intuition. She has a quality of being motherly and telling people to remember their manners when the forget it. She always has a way with taking care of another person, calling some of her group members her “children” and cooking for them. She’s often the one that does the laundry or cleaning around the house, her expertise being in multitasking. But this doesn’t mean she does everything; she can be a disciplinarian when it comes to procrastinating, saying that when she tells you to get something done, you get it done. In serious situations, when there’s a scandal of some sort and she or other members are bombarded with questions of it, then she’s the first to react with her quick and believable response. She thinks about what to do next strategically and always has an analysis of consequences with every choice she makes.

» [ you give too much ] Daxia is selfless. She’s naturally generous in her nature and is the one in the group that would always be there to listen to the problems of other members, giving them advice even if she has never experienced the situation. She gives off the feeling of being the person that you would be able to tell everything and she wouldn’t judge you in anyway, but would keep quiet about it and would understand. She doesn’t take compliments very well, always pointing out that another person is better than her, like her group members.  She’s really good at making people feel guilty, whether it be intentional or not, with the compliments she has for them: she subtly directs the attention to another group member by complimenting them so much that they would be awkward and be shy about it. When she’s sick, she doesn’t tell anyone, but keeps her problems to herself, cooking for herself and taking medicine for herself - she isn’t a babied member. She would go to work, practice, and perfect anything that she has a mistake on even if she isn't feeling well, unless it's severe like throwing up. 

» [ perfectly imperfect ] Although some people strive for perfection, there will always be the flaws and Daxia is no exception. She’s selfless, but this could also affect herself and she wouldn’t allow others to help her, preferring to keep her problems drawn. She spends all her time helping other people before she could help herself and that puts a toll herself, making her more tired and unable to perform properly. She has a hard time facing problems, digresses the real situation by talking about something else that is completely out of subject, but at the same time, she hates to hold out choices and likes to make the agreement then and there. Occasionally, she can get rather competitive to things she knows she’s good at, like ballet or performing, and hates the feeling of losing; she’s stubborn. Sure, she can hide this trait of hers, but it’s still there. Her stubborn trait could be a blessing and a curse to her. Her stubbornness could be the one that drives her to do the things she’s passionate about, but sometimes she’s stubborn about the wrong things. Another thing to take note of her is her breaking point; it might not come to a person at first because of the flexibility she has with people, but she has one. She doesn't scream or physically hurt you, rather, she uses words. Her eyes would be relaxed and face blank, but what escapes her lips could blackmail a person. All of the things she has observed from them and discovered of them—like their secrets—will be told in front of their face. She makes these words hurt because they are truth. With boys, she's also a bit of a tomboy and can easily scare them with her cold looks and threats ("I'm going to castrate you," she remarks with a sweet smile) that will make them cringe, even if her looks can be deceiving. 

( background ) —

» [ 你好] Jiang Daxia was born in Shanghai, China before immigrating to Seoul, South Korea at age four; her father was a bilingual business representative, which was the reason why Daxia's family moved often. Her parents both worked often so Daxia and her sister was practically raised by their grandmother, Guo Feiyan, the person closest to them. Lihua was an academic prodigy that skipped two grades, along with her stunning looks and charismatic personality, she was the “it” girl of her school - she had taken her parents attention away from Daxia. Her older sister did nothing however and admired Lihua because of her talents, trying to be like her by attempting to get better grades because she felt she needed to live up to the expectations Lihua had set. But as more and more people had begun to compare the two sisters and pity the older, Daxia had decided that it wasn't worth it and accepted the fact that she was to be a wallflower. When Daxia had turned twelve, the family of four had moved to Washington D.C., USA. 

» [ Hello ] Daxia was used to the constant moving due to her father’s job so she had quickly adapted to D.C. She had learned how to speak, write, and read basic English the year before as it was what her parents always did before moving to another place. Her place behind her younger sister’s shadow had continued and she was still the wallflower. During this time, she had started taking up ballet & hip hop with her grandmother paying for it, since her grandmother wanted to see her dance ballet - she had excelled in this. She kept this hobby of hers as a secret that only her family and few friends knew about and would only tell if someone had asked. During her high school years, among one of her few friends was a person that did song covers and posted them on YouTube. After many times of asking, she had convinced Daxia to collaborate in a cover of “Officially Missing You” by Mariah Carey; soon, SME Entertainment’s very own Mr. Lee Sooman had stumbled upon it. He regarded Daxia’s singing and offered her a deal: she will go to Seoul, the entire trip paid by SME, to go through stages of auditions. Daxia was skeptical so she went to the first person on her list - her grandmother. Feiyan had told her everything and Feiyan had only asked if she wanted to take it. Her granddaughter replied “yes.”

( family  ) — 

Jiang Tianrui | 51 | bilingual business representative | father | His relationship isn’t exactly close to Daxia, but he isn’t distant to her either - it’s in the middle. Due to his job, he doesn’t see her quite a lot, but has a mutual understanding with her. She has a more direct and blunt personality than his other daughter so they can talk about anything. 

Song Mingzhu | 48 | doctor [ anesthesiologist ] | mother | Her relationship with Daxia by far is the most distant in the family. She would blatantly compare her to her youngest daughter, often saying things (“why aren’t you more like your sister?”) that hurt Daxia’s feelings. In truth, she had only tried to give what she thought would be the best for her daughter, but was always blind of what she really wanted because she had never given a thought of it, meanwhile Lihua could do everything that Mingzhu wanted both to do.

Jiang Lihua | 17 | 2nd year college student | sister | Despite her older sister feeling overshadowed by her Lihua’s achievements, Lihua and Daxia are actually quite close. When Lihua is “unstable” or unable to be approached because of intimidation or inability to control her feelings, Lihua or Feiyan are able to comfort her the most. Lihua can’t cook in any way since she was too busy with her grades and physical education, so she had grown to admire Daxia and her motherly ways, her older sister becoming her role model; Daxia doesn’t know about this, though.

Guo Feiyan | 71 | n / a | grandmother | Her relationship is to Daxia is the closest in all of her family members. Being the person who raised her, she’s the closest to her, Daxia always confiding her problems to her; with her “infinite” wisdom – as Daxia regards it as – Feiyan solves each problem patiently. Feiyan can tell if something’s on Daxia’s mind and will always be able to tell what both her granddaughters’ will do even before they think of doing it. 

( friends ) — 

Ailee / Lee Yejin | 23 | soloist | best friend | For one thing, these two friends break the language barrier due to the fact that both grew up in the same country - America. Their customs and habits are Western and their conversations usually are in English, jokes used frequently with laughs ensuing afterwards. They finish each other's sentences and topics vary, from what their schedule is to "what's wrong with you?" "everything and nothing." 

( rivals ) — 

Im Yoona | 22 | SNSD member | "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Although Daxia doesn't show it, she's actually jealous of Yoona. Who wouldn't be? The incridble girl has the looks and the acting talent and the popularity among boys - she's the girl Daxia had merely dreamed of being. 

( partner ) —

Li Jiaheng / Kris Wu | 22 | They met when the two were trainees. Before Daxia transfered to TS Entertainment, she was actually frenemies with Kris. He annoyed her to death, but it was the kind that made her laugh or be amused. They never met after she transferred until the two were put to collaborate on a special KBS stage, him rapping and her singing "Empire State of Mind" in English. 

( back-up partner ) —

Suho | 22 | Like with Kris, they met when the two collaborated on a special stage due to Emotional having been formed by multiple entertainment companies. The only thing different was that the two sang a duet of "Believe in Love."

( love triangle? )  — no

( anything you'd like to add? ) ; If you made it to the end of this application, thank you for taking your time and reading it. Hope you like her!
