Character Name: Xiu Juan (means elegant, graceful in chinese)
Country: China / Hong Kong
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Camp guide or teen?: Teen
Appearance:
Altough Xiu's father is British, she looks purely Chinese. She has dark brown hair and eyes. Thought, girl is taller than average Chinese, even taller than her mother. Her legs are very long, and so the tallest part of her body. Despite she eats pretty much, she's very slim and thin. Being a typical Asian, girl has fairly small chest, at lest compared to western girls. In her own school, her bust is one of the biggest.
Chinese's hair is long and silky. Color is very dark brown, almost black. Xiu keeps her hair open almost always, even if they tend to fly around. She likes to wear accessories on them, though. Girl has bangs, and it's so long she has to cut it once a month, or it will cover her eyes.
Girl's eyes dark brown, but a bit lighter shade than her hair. Eyes are pretty big, and she has a long eyelashes. Lips are thin and not very colorful, so she uses lots of lipstick on them. She also uses mascara, even if she wouldn't need it. Xiu's eyebrows are bit thicker than most of people's, and even if she tries to shave them, they always grow back.
Xiu likes to wear skinny clothes, and they also fits her very well, because of her own skinniness. Especially chinese dresses and shirts. She prefers darker colored clothes.
Personality:
Xiu's name means elegant in chinese, and that is really fitting for her. At least what could say about the first sight. She's beautiful, and everything she does looks controlled and graceful. Girl doesn't speak a lot, which also gives a bit mysterious feeling about her. She usually stays distant to most of the people, at least if they don't start socializing first. And when people talk to her, she acts very polite, without showing any feelings. Her face rarely shows marks of emotion, and it's hard to guess what she is thinking.
Actually reason for quietness and controlled doings is that she's unsure about herself. When she was young, she always tried to be nice daughter, (well, not always) because she wanted her parents to like her. If they would like her, they wouldn't leave her. But they did.
That's also, why girl has a low self-esteem (even if it maybe doesn't seem so), at least when she's dealing with her parents or other people close to her. She hopes they would like her. Xiu's afraid to have close friends, because she think they would leave her. That's why she can act cold and distant with (especially new) people.
With opposite gender Xiu can become a bit flirty, but it's mostly just playing with them. When around a person she really likes, she becomes more gently and shy. With other girls, she's mostly quiet and distant. When she's with her friends, she becomes more talkative, but is still usually the quietest in the group.
Xiu has talent with martial arts, or athletics overall. She's also good at drawing. The girl is not a bookworm, and her school grades aren't the best. She isn't very interested in learning, and finds school mostly boring. Despite she maybe isn't the most intelligent people in the world, she has common sense, and also can use it. She thinks before says anything, and doesn't do anything rushed.

History:
Xiu's mother was a middle class Chinese woman, who worked as secretary on a big company. She met her future husband, when she was on her twenties. The man was British businessman, in a business trip in China. They met, fell in love, and three years later Xiu was born. Because of her father, they raised from middle class to rich.
Chinese's father was a busy man, and he was often away from home, on some business trip. Girl didn't meet him very often, and was a bit angry at him, because he always left she and her mom. When he was at home only short times, Xiu could do some tricks to him, like hide his things. She did it only because she wanted her dad to stay at home.
Always in turn of the year, when they celebrated new year, dad would come to home celebrate with Xiu and her mum. They would go outside and to eat in some restaurant and then go watch some fireworks. That's one reason why Xiu likes fireworks, they remind her of her family.
Xiu goes to girl's boarding school. She doesn't have any best friends, or any close friends neither, mostly because her own quietness. Nor she's hated, no one just doesn't actually know her.
This summer, her parents though they could go to abroad on holiday. Only the two of them. So, Xiu had to get something to do in summer. Her parents found advertisement of the camp, and they thought it would be nice. It was okay with Xiu, because she had always wanted to visit America, even thought the idea of the camp didn't fascinate her. Luckily, she knows English better than most of Chinese people, because of her father. Xiu spoke Chinese with her mom, but when father was at home, he taught the girl English.
Now, Chinese girl just waits what would the camp be like.
Journal Sample:
Hello☆
I'm in America now, and today is my first day in the camp. I haven't created a opinion about the camp yet, but seems this could be tolerable.
The flight was lasted pretty long, and the airplane food was bad (obviously). But I'm happy to be in USA now. Seems that i'll be alright with my english. I'm fairly tired now, so I'll go to sleep.
Good ★ night
♥ Xiu
(( Sometimes Xiu writes long entries, and sometimes very short. It depends on how tired she is or how interesting the day has been. She likes to use all kind of marks (like stars) in her text. Sometimes she also draws small sketches in the corners of the journal. ))
Roleplay Sample:
Chinese looking girl walked through the camping ground, toward the house, where she was guided. She had pretty much luggages, and she wanted to get rid of them soon. Without watching around, she headed straight to the door of her future room. She grabbed the handle and opened the door.
Xiu's eyes wandered around the room. She noticed, that there were already someone else's stuff on one of the beds. 'It seems I'm not alone.' thought the girl, and set her own bags on top of another bed. The room was rather small, and there were beds for four people. 'Well, it's tolerable' decided Chinese, and sat down on the bed.
She remembered, that she had to text to her parents, when she had time. Asian dug her phone from her bag. The phone was small, and decorated with jewels and pearls. Expertly the girl wrote the text message to her parents.
I'm at the camp now. Everything went well.
♥ Xiu
When Xiu had sent the message, she decided to go outside to see the place better. Surroundings of the camp were really nice. She noticed the small details, like dried flowers. It was hot weather indeed. A bit to hot for Xiu. The Chinese decided to go inside, at least there were ventilation. Leaving the outside area, girl headed to the main house of the camp.
