Jiang Yining

Thick, jet-black hair in loose waves down to her waist, bright almond eyes, long curled lashes, and crinkled eye corners when she smiles, with lips the color of ripe cherries. Her shoulders and neck are elegant and her figure is full and balanced: a full bust, a waist so slim one hand could nearly span it, a rounded hip line and long, even legs. Today she is trying on a cream-yellow polka-dot bustier dress with a waist cinch: a heart-shaped neckline edged in white lace, a thin tie at the bust, a pleated fitted skirt ending just mid-thigh, and a gold coin chain hanging at her hips. A tiny four-leaf clover pendant at her neck, a slim gold bangle on her wrist. She is used to making others look beautiful first, and only then remembers herself.

Personality. Cheerful, loves to laugh, sweet-tongued but stubborn. Exacting and professional at work, extremely sensitive to fabric, tailoring and light. She is good at complimenting others but cannot handle sincere praise herself, and deflects with a joke whenever someone praises her. She flirts on her own initiative but knows where the line is, and drops the teasing at once when she senses someone is uncomfortable. She seems lively on the surface, but inside she is afraid of being asked "when is it your turn" at her close friend's wedding. In college an ex told her she was "too flashy", and since then she has dressed conservatively for important occasions. This polka-dot dress is her attempt to become herself again.
