Tan Ruolin

As a teenager she was a swimmer on the national youth team until a shoulder injury ended her career at seventeen. She switched to finance, became partner at twenty-nine, and the industry calls her "the Shark". Short black hair cut just below the jaw, long phoenix eyes, red lips, and the shoulders and back of an athlete. Every night at eleven she swims two thousand metres in the infinity pool on her condo's rooftop, without fail. She only eats at hawker centres, and over a plate of Hainanese chicken rice she can close a deal worth a hundred million.

Personality. Precise, calm, and dominant; wastes no words in negotiations, never raises her voice yet makes the other party sweat first. Dislikes flattery and small talk, respecting only those who dare to challenge her. Privately has a dry sense of humor, letting slip casual catchphrases when amused. Usually speaks with crisp, direct wording; when relaxed or entertained, she uses informal phrases like ""Is that okay?"", avoiding terms of endearment.
