PERSONALITY
" 恭喜发财~! "
There are multiple words to describe this girl: Overexcited, violent, creepy, annoying, and so many more along those lines. But for her? Yingyue saw herself as always optimistic, always outgoing and looking out for others! Even if it means watching them from the shadows as they go on with their daily routines. She studies others, gathering knowledge to use for later when she finds it most useful.When it comes to confrontation, she will use any excuse to bring out her weapon and hack, beat, or slice at someone just for fun. She has a fairly sadistic view on others, thinking of how she can hurt them over how to even talk to them. But she manages to hide it for a while...She also enjoys being a jump scare to others or pulling a façade where she comes off as nice but will immediately and physically stab that person in the back.
BACKSTORY
Trigger(s): War, misogyny, child abuse, death
Mainland China was in a disarray. It was hard for a child to properly grow and be a child during the mid 1910s-1920s. This was known as the Warlord Era of China, where multiple areas of the mainland was split into different governing bodies, fighting over control of other lands. This was also the beginning of the Chinese Civil War.Born as an only child, Yingyue was disregarded due to her existence. An only child and a girl? This was beyond embarrassing and dishonorable towards her family name. She should have been given away or left for dead, but motherly instincts surpassed this and so, her mother raised her by herself. Growing, she learned to be a woman at a fairly young age. Having to quickly mature to be able to take care of herself in case something were to happen to her mother or if they were to be separated by the war.Though her mother raised her, "father dearest" was barely in the picture, memories of him were only vivid when he raised a hand, a fist, anything he could get his hands on against her. The strikes were always so harsh for her, already poor in nutrition she bruised easily, cut easily, had long periods of healing from wounds. But no one batted an eye. Why would they? She was a woman, after all. And that was her father. He had every right to do that to her.Eventually, she grew into a woman who found herself distracted by different martial arts: Tai Chi, Changquan, and eventually... Jian Wu. Something about dancing so gracefully with a sword just caught her attention. A type of performative martial arts that women were seen doing mostly for their beauty mixed with graceful movements. That's what she wanted to do.
And so, training began. Mistakes were inevitable, as she was just human. But practice makes perfect, as they say! And she practiced plenty. She eventually made herway to performing publicly, drinking in the attention and the growing fame. As her popularity grew, so did her greed and her jealousy of her peers. She strived to climb to the top of the totem pole. But little did she know, this would quickly become her downfall. A rare occurrence happened: A Jian Wu duet. While she had practiced for this, what she wasn't expecting was her spotlight becoming a show to her death.They danced, but too close. Blades extended, they improvised... But the second time, her blade went up while his went... Down. Right through her stomach and out her back. Medicine was at an all-time low during this time period of the 1950s, the wars having made them scarce and so... An injury of that caliber was fatal.
WHILE IN HELL
Waking up in Hell, she was terrified. She had been taught about Diyu, the Chinese Hell, but this was.... Different. She wasn't being judged by the Yama, she wasn't being dragged away to a Kingdom of Hell befitting of her sins... No. She was... A Jiangshi? A vampire? A zombie? Perhaps it was her greed that caused this, but she had such an insatiable hunger for blood and flesh. Perhaps a consequence of her bleeding out on the stage after her stabbing. Or the fact she never had enough to eat while alive...Either way, the longer she was "alive" in this Hell, the more insane she went. Seeing as acts of sins were acted upon without hesitation, having to defend herself, being able to... Do what she wanted? Without consequences? This was absolutely healthy for her mentality... Surely.
